Well, lucky in that they were able to finish first and win the Pit Stop Prize but even if the FFing teams had scarfed their lips faster and all else had gone down the same they still would’ve come in third.
Jumping the Models ahead of the Bamas at the ticket counter was done out of pure spite and there’ve been some sort of random nastiness that they’ve engaged in (examples of which, admittedly, aren’t leaping to mind, but still). Commenting about how someone’s racial heritage would make them good on a task is pretty rude, even if it’s meant in jest.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, as my sainted mother used to say.
Yeah, my wife wondered about this, too. I assumed that it had something to do with the driver not having enough money to fill up, and depending on fares to buy just enough gas for each trip.
I think sometimes they tend to get information or help and then not reciprocate. That isn’t wrong but it’s not good sportsmanship, some might say. When one of the BQs was looking for the stamps, she saw the Cho brother who was doing the roadblock. He asked her if she knew where something was and she just kept going. They don’t like to share information. A lot of people might say that’s wrong, but it’s smart racing…just doesn’t make a team popular with the others.
I think if there were a yield, the BQs would suffer…unless they got to it first, in which case Bama would.
They said they’d give up first place if it meant another team in the six-pack got to stay in the race. I’m pretty sure all they meant by that was that they’d give up first place for an individual leg, and didn’t mean they’d give up the million at the very end.
Still a dumb tactic, I think, but not as dumb as you thought.
I don’t watch The View, but I was just reading on the Survivor Sucks website that David and Mary appeared on The View the other day, and were, I gather interviewed by Rosie O’Donnel. According to the postings there, Rosie surprised David and Mary with a bunch of loot including: a $1000 gift certificate for work clothes for David; a Ford Explorer; a digital camera; 3 vacations (to San Diego, Disneyland & the Grand Canyon) all expenses paid; a family cruise; and a new home built for them on land they own.
Stopping for gas seemed to occur fairly often in other seasons too. That and getting flat tires. It appears hiring a taxi in some countries obligates you to a lot more than I was aware of.
Otto, what Phil dance are you talking about? I missed it. I’ve only ever seen him raise one eyebrow and make icky faces when people try to hug him.
