chrisgmanly 8 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 09-28-01, 00:47 AM (EST) "Team Guido" I've read others who say that Team Guido "pushed" past the other teams at the Pantheon after they promised to go in order of when they arrived at the Pantheon... Come on! They did let the laywers enter the Pantheon first, followed by the mean black guy and his seperated wife. After Team Guido entered, they happened to turn right while the other two teams went left (I think...was hard to tell exactly what direction they went in). Was Team Guido also obligated to tell the other two teams where in the Pantheon the Pendulum was (which I think they knew having lived in Paris)? I say no. They fulfilled their promise and entered last. After that, it was anyone's game. I do think, however, that their little attempt to put people on the wrong train after they offered to help was pretty cold, pretty underhanded...sounds like another certain gay reality TV show winner....hmmmmm....

"RE: Team Guido" LAST EDITED ON 09-28-01 AT 04:47 PM (EST) I agree completely with you, Chris. Both times I watched the ep (I try to tape them all), I distinctly seem to remember the promise being that they would enter the Pantheon in the order they got to the gate. As far as I'm concerned, Team Guido did that and thus fulfilled their promise. "Aren't instruments fun?" -Alyson Hannigan, American Pie 2   Top

"RE: Team Guido" I have to agree with you--Team Guido entered last as they agreed, and do seem to have walked a different direction upon entering the Pantheon, which seems perfectly fair to me. In fact, I don't necessarily have a problem with their deceptive little stunt regarding the train. None of these people are on this show to help the others along. They're all pretty cutthroat in their own ways; some are just a bit more obvious than others. Perhaps they do share this feature with Hatch. Yet, I can't help but think I'd do the same thing upon realizing it may have been a mistake to try to lead these people in the right direction in the first place. Frau Hexe   Top

"RE: Team Guido" I agree, I think all three teams assumed the pendulum was "ahead" -- and then while they all started to walk straight ahead after entering, Team Guido realized it was to the right (but after the other two teams had already passed it.) They did nothing wrong there. As far as the train -- I don't think they were TRYING to put the other teams on the wrong train. My understanding was that the teams were walking down the platform looking for their train and Guido found the correct train but didn't bother pointing it out to the other teams. Instead they just let the other teams keep walking past it and toward another train. Again, nothing horrible there, they have no obligation to yell to the other teams that they are passing the correct train!   Top

"RE: Team Guido" I think you're exactly right--I think they just had a better sense for where the pendulum would be. It was also my understanding that Team Guido simply didn't tell the other teams once they realized they were going the wrong way--and again, why continue leading others in the right direction if you realized it was a bad idea in the first place?

mavsfan 693 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Reality Show Commentator" 10-02-01, 02:10 AM (EST) 5. "RE: Team Guido" Team Guido actually had a great idea. The stated idea was to help the "underdogs" to the next leg thus beating out Rob/Brennan & Frank/Margarite and thus eliminating one of the two teams they think are the biggest threat. However, while walking to with the "underdogs" to where they THOUGHT the train was, Team Guido realized "no, that's not the right train down there, the train we REALLY want is right here." Team Giudo then got on the right train, and left the "underdogs" headed for the wrong train. Thus team Guido, without any thinking going into it, realized "Hey, if we let the underdogs go ahead and get on the WRONG TRAIN, we can really screw 'em", Completely forgetting that the plan moments before was TO HELP the underdogs, and thus help themselves. In short, team Guido instinctively decided to screw the other teams, rather than help themselves. I probably wouldn't have a problem with team Guido if I thought they were playing "strategically", rather than just screwing people reflexively. Too, I guess they are way to smug for me want them to win.   Top
