"No prize for the 1st place team this week?"
Posted by seas72 on 10-13-09 at 03:16 PM
I noticed when Zev and Justin hit the mat first Phil didn't mention anything about a prize for coming in first place for the leg. I thought maybe it was mentioned during the race and edited out due to the passport issue. Was there a prize and if so was it awarded to Sam and Dan instead?

Answered in Zev and Justin's RTVW interview.

Reality TV World: A lot of the time the team that finishes the leg in first place receives a prize, however there was no mention of you guys getting a prize during Sunday night's episode. Was there a prize that they initially gave you but then had to take it back since you didn't officially finish first?

Zev: Motorcycles...

Reality TV World: Did that eventually go to "Brothers" Daniel and Samuel McMillen, who originally finished in second?

Zev: Probably. We think so.

I figured they must have edited the prize out. That just makes it suck that much worse that this happened to these really good guys. Tell Oprah to buy them some motorcycles! Part of her Aspergers Awareness show.
