hardbody 15 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 12-14-01, 12:30 PM (EST) "Why Couldn't They See How Many Envelopes Were There?" Has anyone else been wondering why couldn't Team Lawyer and Team Frankarita see how many envelopes were in the box when they reached the park in the Bronx? All throughout the other legs of the race, they were able to tell who had already been there by seeing how many envelopes were left in each box at the pitstops. Did the producers put a bunch of extra envelopes in the box so that they couldn't tell who had been there? Why else would Frankarita think they were the first to get there? Hmmm, I am just so curious about that? I am stoked that Team Lawyer won, I think they played with the best sportsmanship and attitude.   Top

We were discussing that very point in another thread. Clearly the producers set it up this way on purpose. Obviously F&M thought they were first, so either there had to be more envelopes in the box, or each team had their own private box. I'm sure F&M weren't just oblvious. R&B could have put their envelope back in to fool F&M, but we know this didn't happen. R&B were not certain that they were in the lead, so there could not have been exactly two envelopes in the box when they arrived. F&M were so sure they were first, so either there were exactly two envelopes when they arrived, or they just didn't allow doubt to enter into the picture. Even though Frank was more cocky, I thought Margarita was more certain than he was. It kind of reminded me of Gina and what's his face from Love Cruise.   Top

BUT... back at the great wall of China, the producers knew that Team Guido was a day behind, so they set up the clue with only two envelopes (and added an extra envelope the next day). Thus, then Rob and Brennan arrived, they saw three envelopes, and knew they were in the lead (as we saw)... but when Frank and Margarita arrived, and took out their envelope, they probably assumed that the other envelope in the box was for the lawyers, and assumed that they were in the lead. You never know what might be up my sleeeve...   Top

"RE: Three Envelopes" Good thinking, but the only problem with that theory is that both Rob and Brennan made comments when they were on the train about how they didn't know if they were ahead or behind, but there was nothing they could do about it. Seems as if there were only three envelopes, they would have said something about how they got the first one. Rob and Brennan were smart enough to check, at the Great Wall they said how Frangarita weren't there yet. I'm still going with the multiple envelopes (say like 5). The producers edited out any comments about the number to try and make it more suspenseful.   Top
