SaphireLady 2491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 10-23-02, 11:52 PM (EST) "Havard Law Girls" Well, guess this shows that all should read clues carefully or you too can be eliminated. For such smart girls, they forgot to think. I will miss their antics though.   Top

Neobie 888 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 10-24-02, 05:16 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Havard Law Girls" Maybe this is all because they're lawyers! Well being a lawyer you're supposed to look for loopholes right? The clue was full of it, so maybe that's why they used the loophole to... walk out. Well, clever, but sadly CBS doesn't appreciate that.   Top

"RE: Havard Law Girls" It all depends on what the defination of 'is' is .... oops! I mean what the defination of 'walk' is. They'll make real good lawyers or even presidential candidates! LOL   Top

trigirl 2851 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 10-24-02, 08:10 AM (EST) 5. "Heave Ho!" I will not miss Eve because she is the whinyest competitor ever. She makes Peach look like an Eco-chanllenger. Heather, however had what it takes in this race and I will miss her. She almost pulled it off when whe told the cabbie to go back...but Eve (the bright one) said "oh the clue just means walk into the fortress"....yeah right! And a big Heave ho for you!   Top

Q 2569 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Survivor-themed Cruise Spokesperson" 10-24-02, 09:39 AM (EST) 8. "RE: Heave Ho!" Trigirl, Totally agree about Heather. I liked her a lot. Eve I can pass on. Heather remained calm in the truck and did her best not to scream at eve. She helped with the shifting and kept her cool. I think they just did not read the clue in time, due to the mad dash of all castmembers out of the soccer field. See it shows that a minute of thinking can go a loooooong way. I was also laughing at eve when she was like, Heather I crashed the car. Heather was like... Yeah, So, Its OK. and I was agreeing again with Heather, Its not your car, what do you care? No one was Hurt (than G-D) and the vehicle still moves so I thought it was funny. Later all, D.R.   Top

Esbea 7377 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-02, 11:06 AM (EST) 10. "RE: Heave Ho!" Heather was the more competitive of the two...HOWEVER....Heather is the one who said "I think it means we just have to walk into it", AND she was stupid enough to let Eve drive the truck when it was obvious that Eve had no clue. Heather was telling her how to do it, so she must have known how to drive a stick. It was totally dishonest at the end when she said that they "misread" the clue. It was obvious that they knew they should have walked, but felt that they were far enough behind that they needed to "misunderstand" to make up the time. And I think the "pressure" argument is BS. "Walk" means WALK. If the clue had said "take a train" to the pit stop, they wouldnt have made the same rationalization.

VA Slim 450 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-24-02, 08:55 AM (EST) 7. "RE: Havard Law Girls" I posted this in part of another thread in the Basher's Forum but it is probably more appropriate here: I couldn't believe that the girls, when they realized their mistake in the taxi, rationalized that they could continue in the taxi and just walk into the checkpoint. Maybe they were exhausted and not thinking clearly, but that was the dumbest move yet in all of the races! In TAR1 and 2, the penalties resulted from racers not realizing their mistake (or giving up as Momily did). Whenever a mistake was found, the racers went back to retrace their steps. That being said, Guns N' Hoses were fortunaate that the manager of the cafe where they were to deliver the Port last refused to sign the chit - otherwise I think that they would have missed that part of the instruction entirely!   Top

GeorgiaBelle 2136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Roller Coaster Inaugurator" 10-24-02, 09:54 AM (EST) 9. "RE: Havard Law Girls" Good point. Andre and Damon are very fortunate. Wonder if everyone will start to read the clues a bit better now? Frankly my dear I don't give a damn.   Top

"RE: Havard Law Girls" <<Never assume that just because someone went to an Ivy league school that they are smart...>> Ditto, especially for *post* graduate work. Although Harvard Law School has an awesoe reputation from what I hear though. Although smart people do not necessarily make great racers. Different kind of intelligence. Chris and Alex don't strike me as the book smart type. (Wicked smart maybe though!)   Top

perfecone 4 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-24-02, 03:15 PM (EST) 13. "RE: Havard Law Girls" oh its ok. we can drive to the checkpoint and then walk in to the checkpoint. thats wwhat walk to the checkpoint means......as if at all the other checkpoints people are driven to the mat by a cab. come on and stop sharing a brain.   Top

Cole 409 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 10-24-02, 05:34 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Havard Law Girls" To be fair, perhaps they thought it meant "walk" to the pitstop, as in "don't run". I thought Jill said they couldn't run, so she seems to have interpreted the clue as "walk don't run" as well.   Top

Esbea 7377 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-02, 06:14 PM (EST) 15. "RE: Havard Law Girls" like I said in another post...they didnt have any problem with the clue when it said "walk to Stonehaven Harbor" THE dumbest excuse ever....(wide eyes) "we didnt know what "walk" meant". They dont even teach that at the Guido School of Travel, as its beneath them. "The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, youre still a rat"   Top

dajaki 1454 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 10-25-02, 12:45 PM (EST) 22. "RE: Havard Law Girls" On the CBS site, the explanation to the rule is that "walk" means "travel by foot." When a clue directs contestants to walk, this may include skipping, running, hopping, whatever, as long as the shoes get worn down a little. Earlier in the ep, one of the twins (on the way to Stonehaven harbor), stressed to keep walking, don't run. Maybe they all need a refresher course from TAR rule book.   Top

SaphireLady 2491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 10-24-02, 09:21 PM (EST) 16. "RE: Havard Law Girls" ON the Early show they said that they realized something was wrong when they were the first to arrive. And in reviewing the tape of the show you can see it in their faces. They did not wait for the review that would take 48 hours but admitted up front what they did. They said this surprised the other teams but they wanted to be known, as lawyers, with intergrety(sp, where is spell check when needed) and as good honest humans. I think this gives them big kudos whether they screwed up or not. Power to them and their futher law careers.   Top

buckeyegirl 5449 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-24-02, 10:18 PM (EST) 17. "RE: Havard Law Girls" On the Early Show Heather/Eve also said that their cameraman had said something to the effect that it was ok to take the cab. My first reaction to that was were they in the car already when the cameraman indicated it was ok to take it? They seemed to blame everything on the cameraman, but weren't bitter. This does explain on why the TNT and The Soccer Moms both made a point to mention how smart Heather and Eve were in their interviews. While they kinda annoyed me, I'm sorry to see the only all girl team left in the race go. There has to be an all girl team make it to the final 3 eventaully.

Esbea 7377 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 10-25-02, 08:38 AM (EST) 20. "RE: Havard Law Girls" LAST EDITED ON 10-25-02 AT 05:23 PM (EST) Usually I agree with you on most things SaphireLady, but I cant on this one. They were busted before they got in the door (Phil tells them "Youre the first to arrive" and Gerkin that they are the "second to arrive"). After rewatching the tape, its pretty clear that they knew they should have gone back and walked. In fact, they STILL would have had time to do it (once they got to the mat) and stay in the race. I think they just thought that the time penalty wouldnt really effect them, or that they could just cry or something and get out of it. Its also irritating to me that they keep blaming everyone else but themselves for the "misread" (ACK). This was an elimination well deserved. BUMPED AND EDITED TO DRAW DAW ATTENTION TO MY MOMENTOUS 200TH POST!!!! now all i gotta go is get myself a "real" signature....

siamcat8 6 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-25-02, 09:42 AM (EST) 21. "RE: Havard Law Girls" I missed the actual show and woke the next morning to see the loosers being interviewed. It was interesting to see the interview first and then watch the tape of the show later. From the questions the interviewer asked I expected Aaron and Ariane to have acted hateful at the end and the cop/fireman team to have been much worse than they were. I also thought it clearly shows in their faces that they knew they had made a big mistake. Something changed their minds about going back. I want to know exactly what the cameraman said. I just don't buy that he said they could cheat. I wonder if he didn't tell them they would get a time penalty and they decided they were far enough ahead to squeak by.   Top

Artemis 4 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 10-25-02, 03:26 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Havard Law Girls" Yeah, these two were full of "antics", but not of a positive nature! This in part of another thread in the Basher's Forum, but I thought it was worth mentioning again here. Are these two for real? What are they, pathetic throwbacks from the days when women believed they had to use their looks and so called feminine charms to get ahead? Not only did they claim this ridiculous approach as their "secret weapon" (check out their bios), they also PROUDLY followed through on it (remember eve gloating as she shed crocidile tears in the bus station to manipulate the male clerk and whispering to Heather that she got Andre and Damon to carry their boxes of port?)! The icing on the cake is Heather's empty claims they were just proud they played the game "ethically". Blah, blah, blah. Sounds to me like someone is OVERCOMPENSATING...hmmm..I wonder why? These Girls need to learn to play as real women - with some integrity! Anna   Top

SaphireLady 2491 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Seventeen Magazine Model" 10-26-02, 01:57 AM (EST) 23. "Some very valid points" I agree with alot of what all of you have said or stated. So just to point out. I don't think I said, and if I did oops my error, that I did not agree with the penalty and their subsequent boot. They deserved the time penalty and so bye bye. Second, I too would love to know exactly what the camara man said to them. Third and I agree that they probably did think they were ahead enough to take the penalty and still be in the game. That one makes alot of real sense. So, though I still think these are smart ladies they did earn their bye bye pass and they probably did it with the third point above in their minds. P.S. Still would have prefered to see the horrible double A's go bye bye though.   Top
