Redemption 57 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 08-19-04, 10:44 PM (EST) "What happens if teams are arrested?" Just curious what happens if teams are arrested. Are they immediately disqualified or can they still be in the race if thy make the pit stop? It seems like Colin might be in trouble next week. Also, what happens if there are fights? Does the cameraman jump in or is there security in the background for each leg?   Top

I don't know about fights but on TAR3, Andre & Damon were detained by local police outside Marrakech when they took a wrong turn due to a bad taxi driver. TAR's security people negotiated their release but they weren't given any special treatment - they couldn't be last to the pit-stop. They went from 1st place to 6th place. Here is the quote from the TAR3 website: "Andre & Damon made their way back to Marrakech after an ordeal where the local official asked the pair to surrender their passports. After refusing, the pair received help from the security staff of THE AMAZING RACE to get them out of the situation. After an early lead, the pair disappointedly arrived at the Pit Stop in sixth place." BUT Andre and Damon's issue wasn't of their doing. If hot head Colin ends up in jail because he can't be quiet then I don't think TAR security should help him out. -- Doug Cousin Eddie: Every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I'd pee my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.   Top

I'm fairly certain those camera crews are obvious to everyone. If a contestant were to actually be arrested then I expect the producers would pull some strings to smooth things over. Not saying I think they should or I approve of that sort of thing, just that I expect that's what would happen.   Top

If a team is detained for no good reason (as with Guns & Hoses), TAR staff will step in to free them, but no time credit will be given. A team that gets arrested on merit (starting a fight, etc.) is likely going to wind up getting exactly what they deserve. It's never come up -- but I honestly think the team will be left behind to wait out whatever form of justice is being used in their current territory. This may mean completely exhausting their bribe budget. Jumping bail is almost mandatory, as long as the passports haven't been surrendered. The camera crew are neutral observers and should only respond if directly attacked. Reality vs. theory is something else entirely -- but again, we've never had an all-out bar brawl on TAR. Give Colin a little time, though. It's been a hard Race and they haven't gone to all that many bars.   Top
