If you want to read about their dispute with the cab driver or Amie, follow the link and read the article. But ...
Among the tidbits from this article with spoiler value are the following:
**********************************************
RTVF: How many camera people follow you?
Leslie: We had one cameraman and one soundman following us at all times and I am still impressed with how these guys kept up with all the teams.
RTVF: Do you always have the same ones or do they rotate?
Leslie: The cameramen and soundmen rotate to make sure that all is fair.
RTVF: Is there a spotter?
Leslie: no
RTVF: Do you have to cover the costs of the camera people or do they pay their own way?
Leslie: The cameraman and soundman must pay their own way if individual tickets are purchased. For example, a train ride would require that Kim and I pay our own way and that the cameraman and soundman purchase their own tickets, but you must always travel together. The teams are responsible for paying when one fare is purchased for the group. For example, Kim and I are responsible for the fare of a taxi ride, and we must still all travel together.
RTVF: After elimination, do you go straight home or do you get to vacation?
Leslie: All eliminated teams joined each other in the 'sequestered city'...yes, that means that Kim and I and Paul and Amie were in the same hotel for about 3 weeks...oh, the drama! Kim and I certainly wish that we had competed longer in the race of our lives, but we made the most of our time after we were eliminated. We traveled to Prague, Vienna, Munich, Athens, and we even had time to lie on the beaches of Mykonos. One million dollars would have been incredible, but a month paid vacation in Europe wasn't too bad!
***********************
RTVF: Can you buy books in the airport to study your next destination?
Kim: You can - if they are not sold out! We looked for Fodor's or Lonely Planet for Africa when we got to JFK on the first leg, but (what a surprise) they were all out.
RTVF: Were you given any information on the countries or cultures you visited?
Kim: No, but due to passport/visa information we had to obtain, we had an idea of possible places we would visit. So, we found as much as we could on the Internet about each place before we left. We obviously forgot to search for 'ways to get out of a safari quickly,' as this was the first in a series of events that led to our demise on the second episode.
RTVF: How exactly does the money work? Do you get the same amount every time? Do you get to keep all your money you have left over when you get your money for the next leg?
Kim: Production calculates the minimal amount needed from leg to leg - and that is all we get until we leave from each pit stop. They do add to our money which means we are allowed to keep the money from the previous leg.
