venomousveins 36 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 09-22-04, 00:09 AM (EST) "IN RETROSPECT. " Hindsight IS always 20/20. It's all becoming clear to me now.... Regular posters have complained about constantly seeing Colin's annoying TV commercials for his business... maybe we should've realized.... that if HE won the million bucks, he'd probably be flat on his backside LAUGHING somewhere, not out hustling to make another dollar in his crummy store. Maybe he and Toad Girl had a little "consolation" agreement to "just go ahead and MAKE their OWN million d--- dollars!" Yep. Sounds about right. And all that "God" stuff that we had to endure from Brandumb and Nicole.... I suppose we just got our noses rubbed in it so much because it was only gonna get them as far as THIRD place. Anybody wanna whine about being forced to watch "religious programming" now??? And while we're talking "spiritual" - hey, Christie- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "KARMA". Not for YOU, anyway... you thought that Chip was guaranteed to suffer for "backstabbing" you -is that even a word?- or maybe Chip had simply been investing a little more in "good" karma, by being a NICE GUY.... unlike the approach of yourself and your wonderful Loser Boy....! Anyway, Chip and Kim - you two really did put on a good show. Thanks for making it a HAPPY ending, and not the one that we were DREADING!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Top

" I wasn't disappointed in the outcome, but I know for sure that C&C had a nuclear meltdown which we weren't allowed to see. After they got out of their high-priced Lincoln taxi (which they are still making payments on), they saw Chip & Kim on the platform, threw themselves to the ground, cursing and wailing and throwing handfuls of sod into the air. This went on for quite some time, and, of course, Phil eventually asked them if they'd rather have something a little more respectable to air in the big finale.   Top

" Say what you will about Colin and Christie, but the fact is that they were a dominant force in this race. Maybe Colin is a big jerk, and he's probably not someone I would chose to date in real life, but he is a competitor, as is Christie. In all honesty, they should have won. They lost due to something that really was out of their control: fog. And contrary to what Chip and Kim think, their yielding Colin and Christie didn't send them into an unrecoverable tailspin. In fact, it only fueled them to do better. While I really have nothing against Chip and Kim, they really did luck into that win. By being in third place, they came across a vital piece of information about the delayed flight and thus were able to get a different flight. Had they been first or second, they would have been in the same boat as C&C and B&N. I do give them credit for using the yield because it was a strategic thing to do in a game where you ultimately are playing for yourselves. Colin and Christie, like them or not, were victims of unfortunate circumstances. Early on in the race when they used the FF, that was strategic and smart on their part because it gave them a huge lead and kept another team from using it (especially considering there were only 2 this time). That huge lead was lost due to bunching caused by time issues. And then a delayed flight at the end hurt them. Looking back, perhaps C&C should have never checked luggage (I probably would have just trashed it at that point), and they could have gotten up earlier to confirm their flight. But at that point, I don't even think C&K would have done that. Colin even thought ahead to have a car waiting for them at the airport, perhaps he should have called for a helo too to airlift them over the traffic jam. Oh well, onto next season.

cracer 35 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 09-22-04, 11:41 AM (EST) 6. "RE: IN RETROSPECT. " LAST EDITED ON 09-22-04 AT 11:44 AM (EST) They lost due >to something that really was >out of their control: >fog. I completely disagree. They lost because (1) they slept instead of rechecking their flights; (2) they checked their luggage - post 9/11, everyone should know that you are severely restricted in making any flight changes if you have checked luggage; and (3) they should have booked on more than one flight - especially given the foggy conditions. On this show, there are often harsh consequences of seemingly out of control situations (e.g. fog, a slow taxi driver, etc) - but the best teams seem to deal with these setbacks more productively or take certain steps to ensure that they can't get sidetracked by them. I guess this is all easy for me to say in hindsight! But Colin normally was very good at doing those things - he often booked multiple flights and his idea of hiring the taxi driver was good - but he seemed to slip in the last leg... > >While I really have nothing against >Chip and Kim, they really >did luck into that win. Chip and Kim did seem to have luck on their side. But don't forget that they made some very key strategic decisions (i.e. using the yield on C&C; lying to B/N on the flag task; choosing the quick luge even after they crashed on it; not telling the other teams about the flight delay) that got them that far.   Top

But it isn't. Once a leg is over, it's over and as long as you've not been eliminated your team has just as good a shot at victory as any other. The way the race is structured being first on a given leg may stroke the ego, but it really doesn't generate all that much of an advantage going forward. Chip & Kim played the entire race and didn't let their 3rd place finish get them down. Instead of moping, they got smart. "Luck" happens when opportunity meets preparedness.   Top

zeako 99 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 09-25-04, 12:06 PM (EST) 28. "RE: IN RETROSPECT. " In fact, the race is similar to the Tour de France. Cumulative time is what counts. The only difference is that teams start out relative to their time deficit in the previous leg. It took Chip and Kim less time to complete the entire race than it took Colin and Kristie.   Top

" I have to agree with Cracer ... had it been me (and knowing that this was the last leg of the race), I'd be camping out at airport and checking my flight every 2 hours. They should have been on the ball enough to know that fog = cancellations/delays. Then that business with the checked bags in Denver.... yeesh. Both Colon/Polyp and the Pretty Christians deserved their losses.   Top

I was yelling at CC, before Chip an Kim, to stay at the airport and check their flights. Forget sleeping. Get some coffee. 12 legs of no checking in, 1 million dollars to win, and they change their winning routine and check in. Even if they can leave it at the airport it is a factor that they have not done until now and they have won nearly every leg. Surely common sense and history would have played a part.   Top

" What I can't help but find INCOMPREHENSIBLE is the number of folks that still want to give C&C a pass, no matter WHAT kind of psychopatic behavior they exhibited... or how they actually played the game. Is it necessary to keep one eye closed the whole time, or what? There are posters who have been defending C&C to the death, acting like they can just do no wrong. They wanna run pedestrians over? We won't criticize them for that. They laugh while the Lincoln "taxi" driver flies down the shoulder of the highway, and they urge him to continue SPEEDING... so what - they haven't broken any laws!!! (OOOPS! Can't use THAT excuse for them any more!) It blows my mind that anybody could have stuck with them to the end. Makes me wonder what criteria they used when deciding to take their side in the first place, because their LOVE for them has been unshakeable!!!! Creepy stuff, man!!!!   Top

And I do like Chip and Kim, but Chip carried that team the whole entire time. Kim, however, is seen by a lot of people as the hero because she happened to stumble onto critical information. At least in the end, they kept it to themselves, and were rewarded. It was a great finale and a great race. I really would have rather seen it not come down to a flight issue.

" "I am a fan of Colin and Christie only becasue of their racing ability, not their humanity. I think they have serious issues in that area but its hard to disagree that they are good at racing." Sorry, but MY actual focus was NOT about their horrendou s personal behavior! I pointed out the fact that they were not above "cheating" or breaking the law (since some posters have insisted that they ran a clean race)... and you conveniently ignored that part and restated that they are such great racers. Which is where I left off. I just don't get it.... they SUCKED at the caviar and the ostrich egg tasks, they SUCKED at finding the painting in the museum, they SUCKED in the mud with the cow, they SUCKED at finding the Philippine flag, they SUCKED at climbing the snow-covered hill... okay, they can drink a shot of vodka off a sword blade... and THAT makes them fantastic racers??? It's already been stated about 37 times in here that C&C had NO physical competition in 99% of the challenges- just plump moms, scrawny girls, a hefty Chip, and a WUSS... so, my (redundant) question STILL is: WHY does ANYBODY want to continue declaring them The Undisputed Champeens Of All Time???!!!!!! They managed to beat the weak competiton (BIG achievement) to half of the pit sto ps, and got to start first the next day. They finally had a turn to start off LAST... and, since they are such GREAT RACERS, driving down the shoulder of the road and speeding when they got the chance (while Chip& Kim sat still in traffic) they came in SECOND PLACE. THEY SUCKED. AND THEY LOST.   Top

"RE: Spidey's high post number" Veins, please take this in the spirit of moderation in which it is intended. If you in fact signed up years ago, then perhaps you have been reading these boards for a while. If so, you haven't been very attentive to the atmosphere. This is a moderated discussion board, not a chat room, and as such it has rules and moderators. IceCat is one of the moderators. He is neither a rookie cop nor an overzealous hall monitor. Spidey has been around since Jeff Probst was a nobody. He's got his likes and dislikes, just as we all do. He happens to embrace the folks who are edited as villainous, probably because they make great television. In any case, both are highly respected members of this online community, and both have been through lots of disgreements here. This particular issue isn't worth the agita to you or them. Let it rest.
