"Look at the map"

Posted by flipxcyd on 03-12-07 at 00:31 AM
Hey Rob,

Look at this word, "P-H-I-L-I-P-P-I-N-E-S".

Now spell that word!

And he actually said "It better not be a spelling mistake." Just not his day, I guess.



Bet he regrets skipping all those spelling classes in school.

Yes. And then, just to be sure, he didn't *check* that it wasn't a spelling thing.

Really, they just weren't on their game this leg. As much as I dislike them, I don't expect errors like this from them.

And it was Lamber who wrote down the place names onto a paper for Rob to paint the names onto the signs... why didn't she check the spelling as well?

Stupid is as stupid gets... good riddance.

Call me Goliath, then.

You've been warned, so don't complain.

You know, I've NEVER seen the spelling "Philippeans" before.

Amber's the college graduate; have standards in colleges gotten that lax that she wouldn't notice it?

Since Rawb is from Bahstan, maybe he thought it had to be spelled like Bashtan Baked Beans?

I've seen that spelling before but only by people who meant Philippians.

Leave it to the BrainTrust to not even check the spelling of things. Oh well, at least they're off my television!! YES!!

I know I am taking the conspiracy thresd too seriously, but I think something stinks here. I don't buy the mispelling, esp. when Rob made that comment. The two of them have played too well to play this badly, all of a sudden.

I think it is highly likely they threw it.
(To film "Against the Odds"? Who knows.)

I think it is highly likely they threw it.

That's an interesting thought. Would the producers reward them for throwing the game, or did they just want that nice vacation in sequesterville. Heck, DH and I like the idea of going on the race, just for that tropical down time when you get booted off.

What if more than one team had that idea in Leg One?

"Okay, you step on the mat."
"No, you first."
"I insist."
"Don't insist."
"Well, we're not moving."
"Neither are we."

It'll seem like a bit from these two:


And that's what will happen if LC and I compete against Silvergirl and Silverhubby.

At first I was going to disagree because Rob seems too self-centered and greedy to do such a thing. Additionally they did not look so tired yet that the race was becoming a drag to run.


BUT!!!!!!!


The other mistakes were silly ones too! Rob did not look at his compass to confirm he was going in the right direction, and when sorting letters he did not seem to even start out going thru them one by one - grabbing more than one at a time.

Maybe you are right.
