"THE EARLY SHOW INTERVIEW aka Yeah Yeah..one more excuse for cheating." |
LAST EDITED ON 10-24-02 AT 12:51 PM (EST) (CBS) It was an all-out sprint to the finish that began in Highlands of Scotland and ended in Portugal. The final clue read to the teams were to “walk to the Pit Stop.” Unfortunately, Heather Mahar and Eve Madison chose to take a taxi and got a 30-minute penalty that left them in last place. So why did the Harvard Law School roommates disobey the instructions? “Well, I guess at a crucial point, deciding as you saw to take a cab or to walk, it was indicated by our cameraman OK to take a cab. We ended up taking the cab, and obviously, it ended up hurting us,” says Eve on The Early Show. The error by the production staff was not shown on the show, which must have been a bitter pill for the team to swallow. “We hope that we were never bitter,” says Heather. “We know it's a game. It was sad. We felt that we had the potential to go a lot further, but again, we know it was a game. The best thing about it was that we wanted to play the game very ethically as lawyers and human beings and came forward,” says Eve. When show host Phil Keoghan told Heather and Eve they were in first place, they knew something was amiss, so they did not wait for the tapes to be reviewed, and came forward admitting what had happened. “A lot of the teams were surprised we'd come forward. Tape reviews for 48 hours. No one would have known that we had taken the cab because no one saw us. The cab went a different way than the runners went. We didn't see anyone and realized we were to walk,” say Heather. But the taxi ride was not their only vehicle trouble. While driving the streets of Portugal, Eve got into a fender bender. “There were two stick shifts. We didn't know which one to use,” says Eve. She had learned how to drive a stick only a few weeks before the race began, she explains. Their clumsiness delayed the fireman and policeman team who, while stuck behind the lawyers, made fun of the girls' Harvard Law degrees. “I called them last night, 'How dare you say that,'” jokes Eve. “All in good fun,” adds Heather. “Wonderful people. a lot of community work in their jobs. Just great people.” So how do Heather and Eve rate their experience? “We met amazing people. Every team had a strength, something to teach you. It was great,” says Heather. “That’s my favorite adjective, amazing. It was an amazing experience,” adds Eve. "The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, youre still a rat"

3. "They think we're morons" |
Even though these two represent my alma mater, I have to comment on this, because clearly they take us for morons.>When show host Phil Keoghan told Heather and Eve they were >in first place, they knew something was amiss, so they >did not wait for the tapes to be reviewed, and >came forward admitting what had happened. Perhaps it was edited, but normally Phil tells the first team to show up that they're team number one. Instead, he told them that they were the first team to arrive. Do they really expect us to believe that Phil wouldn't have known they cheated for another 48 hours? It seems like Phil knew already. In other words, they came forward one step ahead of the hangman, not 48 hours ahead. >The best thing about it was that we wanted to play the game very >ethically as lawyers and human beings and came forward,” says Eve. Right, that's why they read the clue over again in the cab, clearly noting that it said "walk," and then kept on riding in the cab. Yeah, like that's a production error. >“Well, I guess at a crucial point, deciding as you saw to take >a cab or to walk, it was indicated by our cameraman OK to take >a cab. We ended up taking the cab, and obviously, it ended up >hurting us,” says Eve on The Early Show. Ah, it's somebody else's fault. Not theirs! No, if they'd only been able to read English, they'd have done it right. It must have been tough getting through Harvard Law when you can't read. >The error by the production staff was not shown on the show, >which must have been a bitter pill for the team to swallow. I'll bet that it says clearly in the rules that you can't rely on any comments from the camera and sound guys; you have to rely on the written directions. So their argument is that they broke the rules -- knowingly broke the rules -- and they should have gotten a pass because of detrimental reliance, even though they had been expressly told that they couldn't rely on such words. Very Clintonian. Define "is" for me, please, Heather. A real bitter pill. Yeah.

It amuses me that they say they wanted to play the game ethically, when in the first episode they revealed that their strategy was to use their looks to their advantage and hussle people for money and help ...

Ah but hustling people for money and using their looks to get ahead is legal in the rules. That's the difference. They wanted to play the game in a sleazy way--which is ethical in the strictest sense, but still sleazy.

The nonsense about claiming to be ethical, and yet being sleazy is what ticks me off most about these two. I have more respect for someone like a Wil or even the Guidos who all made no secret or claim to be doing anything other then trying to win, no matter how obnoxious or sleazy. These two broads flaunted their superiority of being harvard law grads, but had no problems trading on their looks to panhandle money, whining about anything difficult or hard, bending the rules in a cowardly way to their own advantage, and in the final insult....blame others for their own stupid mistakes. I know that I am "over the top" on these two, but their demise from AR3, and their humiliation in being eliminated by their own stupidity is really justice for these wannabie lawyer crybabies. Maybe David Kelly could cast them in his latest fantasy female lawyer show.
