bastable, ask your friend if it changes things that jill knew john vito before her brother died, just started dating him after that!
so far they haven't been shown too much--maybe because they are so easygoing. they should get more air time as the number of teams go down. i like them a lot.

Yep ~ As A&A fall way down down down my list, this duo is moving up fast and furious ~ albeit ever so quietly. We're not seeing egos. We're not hearing put-downs of other teams. We're seeing two people working together towards a goal ~ and doing it in a way that we can all respect. I think it was Gerard who was describing Jill going up the pyramid as
Spiderwoman, complete with sound effects. But he was doing it endearingly. He really had alot of respect for her agility and strength. These two are now in my top three favs to watch and cheer for.

They are rising on my list, too.

I have to admit that when I heard the background 911 story associated with this couple I basically thought "yuck". However, they have truly won me over with the great attitude and great relationship they seem to have with each other. They are definitely among my favorites now.

As for his name, maybe that is just his name..

Like he comes from a family where everyone is named John.. John Vito, John Veto, John Voto, John Vato, John Voto.. er.. well probably not.. nevermind..

Anyway, I like 'em.

I'm rooting for this team to win the $$$. Jill is sexy and seems to be smart. While I'm a little jealous of John V., I gotta admit he seems like a great guy. If they can manage to stay in that front group, I think they have a great chance to win this race.

They keep rising in my esteem from week to week.

Liking them so far

they seem to have less air time than many of the other teams. i wonder if that means they win? sometimes this show seems to showcase those who are leaving...at this point, i am thinking jill and john vito, along with the brothers, go pretty far. the twins are starting to slow down a little again and there is no fast forward left for them, so they'll have to keep up with the pack.

Still liking them. Jill did what I am known for...John Vito says don't trip and SPLAT there she went. I always say DON'T tell me not to fall or slip or whatever, because I inevitably will. Some say it's the rebel in me. I think I'm just a klutz. Anyway, I SOOOOOO related to Jill!

Fanny, I SHOUTED out loud 'DON'T SAY THAT' then splat! I know the power you give to the spoken word. It happen's all the time. I want them to send each other only positives. Here's hoping they finish in the final three.

I really like these two, I think they get along so well, and I can see that they really seem to care for eachother. I hope they win, I was worried at first they would rub 9/11 in the audience's face every three seconds but I haven't heard it mentioned much at all.
Anyway, they seem genuine and thats why I like them.

I am rooting for Jill & John Vito. Jill is a real pistol, a dynamo. They work so hard together and don't belittle the others. They just do what they have to do. More importantly, they are very respectful to each other. I hope they win! Ian and Terri should take notes from them.

Ruditoo - tidbit re Don't.
It has been suggested (widely held theory) that the brain doesn't process "don't". EG if I say Don't jump on the bed - what's the first thing you think of? 90% of people will say they identify with "Jump on the bed".

I've tried this on my kids and it actually works. if you say "Don't jump on the bed" - they usually keep jumping. If I then switch to what I want them TO DO - i.e. "Stop jumping on the bed" - they stop. Try it. It's internal programming (look up NLP).

Interesting tidbit

so, if i tell my husband, 'don't stop!' he'll stop? i guess there are certain times woman should maybe not talk at all!.....LOL

i hope jack and jill stay focused and don't have any big fights...they are more than halfway through this.
her tripping reminds me of every time i would pass by this one guy i liked in high school and was wondering if he was watching me walk away--and i would automatically stumble over nothing like there was a giant root pushing up through the sidewalk. i think calio's brain theory thing is right because i would be saying to myself, "now, don't trip or do something stupid in case he's watching."

Well, Well, Well....JV/Jill now have a power position right now....they are the only ones who have a FastForward left to them after Andre/Damon were eliminated and Flo/Zach used theirs...the question is, when do they use it? Next week would be a mistake, because unless they throw a curveball at us, It should be a non-elimination leg....but they need to use it in a way that would guarantee them a realistic shot at the final three, so they have to be careful.

I'm liking this duo more and more. I'm glad they've stopped hanging with Zach and the witch (at least I hope they have).

My heart was in my mouth the other night when I thought that J & JV were getting eliminated. They work so hard and are so smart. When they were the only team that ended up on the second boat and then passed all the others with their smarts was amazing. I was laughing so hard when the others left their bags on the boat and J & JV thought to have the boat wait. So, I was so dissapointed when they missed the train by a few seconds and lost their lead. I remembered when they ran so fast (as they always do) and just made a bus. They really deserve to win. I am so tired of Flo & Terri's whining. I hope they are one of the next teams to go!

The danger tonight is, do JV/J use the FF now to get out of danger, or do they gamble? If they use it now, they're safe (unless they have bad luck getting to the pitstop) for two legs, but there's the final elimination to deal with, and there's no gurantee the lead they would get with the FF would hold up that long. If they decide to gamble and try to avoid elmination this time around, and it works, they're in the final three for sure (since they would use the FF in the last leg before the final three)....but it's a risk.

Remember, they're only seconds behind Ken/Gerard, and minutes behind the others, so they might choose to gamble....I think a lot depends on when they get the FF information.....

Is Jill and John the only ones left who haven't taken the FF?

If so, and since they are only a few minutes behind everyone, I think it would be wise to save it for a future leg, in case they are like a few hours behind everyone else, in the future.

Every leg of this race, everyone gets bunched up and equalized a few times. If they have to do something to hard, then go for the FF.

I think they should take the gamble and wait to use the FF. They could probably make up the minute they are behind Ken/Gerard, and like Grooch said use it for another leg.

If they use it when there are only 4 teams left instead of 5, and assuming they are not far behind this could be their ticket to the final three.

Grooch

Wait a minute...

Do they have a FF in the final leg or not?

Grooch, JV/J are the only team with a FF available....and while it's not explicit, some people believe there's no Fast Forwards in the last two legs with only 3 teams left out of fairness.

Grooch

Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:52 am EditMoveDeleteIP
So then they can either take it this leg or the next, if that is true.

Maybe if they are so close together, if they took it now, they can get to the rest stop very way ahead of the rest of them and relax and get some rest. They must figure this round will be an elimination round (since the last one wasn't) and the next one won't be an elimination round, so if they do screw up and come in last, they won't be out of the race.

Decisions, decisions. It could make one's head explode.

I thought the FF was available when there are 4 teams left. Isn't that the episode in the first series where The Guidos and Team Momily battled for the FF and the Guidos won it. I'm not totally sure, but I remember they were the only teams that hadn't gotten it at that point.
