mocha madness 251 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Network TV Show Guest Star" 01-26-05, 01:25 PM (EST) "Failure to Read Clue the Ultimate Eliminator - Once Again" The failure of Laurie and Bolo to thoroughly read the clue cost them the Race. They are the third team this season to be eliminated because of the failure to read the clues. Asswipe and Victoria failed to take two donkey's, and the Grandparents fell way behind when they did not know where to look for a statute set forth in the clue. All of these teams failed to act on the Instructions, and paid for it by being eliminated. The ability to read is as important as actually performing the tasks. Can anyone recall so many similiar failures in prior versions of the AR?   Top

"RE: Failure to Read Clue the Ultimate Eliminator - Once Again" Question, I did not tape the show so I can't check. Did the instructions say one person HAD to stay at the bottom of the stairs or not. Could Bolo run up the stairs to meet Lori coming down? Would this have saved them enought time?   Top

AR1: Kim/Leslie: Didn't look at the BOTTOM of the Eiffel Tower. Morons. Nancy/Emily: Basically Quit. AR2: Shola/Doyin: Didn't follow directions on the map. Mary/Peach: Didn't finish the Detour or Roadblock AR3: Heather/Eve: Also known as DUMBEST. FREAKING. MISTAKE. EVER. They would have survived had they actually read the clue. Morons. Dumbest people ever. Michael/Kathy: Because they didn't put the right gas in the car. Andre/Damon: Because they didn't get off the train on their stop. Derek/Drew: Because they missed the clue. Went right over their heads. Literally. Remember the flags? AR4: Russell/Cindy: Male Chauvinist told Cindy the wrong train station to go to. Twice. Then he blamed it on her. Pig. Millie/Chuck: DOn't pay attention to the clue. Kelly/Jon catch up AR5: Marshall/Lance: Quitters AR6: Don/Mary Jean: So much for outthinking younger teams. Jon/Victoria: One Donkey. Lori/Bolo: Ticket.   Top

"RE: Failure to Read Clue the Ultimate Eliminator - Once Again" You would think they would keep the clue and reread it as the move to the next location. You can bet the future racers will read the clues much more carefully. Handcrafted by RollDdice   Top

"RE: Failure to Read Clue the Ultimate Eliminator - Once Again" Errrrr, are you sure? I thought at the beginning of the race Lori and Bolo did mention that they will take their time to read their clue, since J/V's elimination due to not reading clue properly is still fresh in the memory! They didn't seem to learn the lesson well huh? =^_^=   Top

"RE: Failure to Read Clue the Ultimate Eliminator - Once Again" In his interview on the CBS site, TAR executive producer Herman van Munster says, in as many words, reading the entire clue is the best thing any team can do for itself.   Top
