Danny and Oswald were not good at navigation, but they were quite good at reading clues, at driving both stick and non-stick shift cars, they are agile, they are quick and they are very intelligent. I think being nice and having a positive attitude was an asset for them, but not larger than those other factors in getting them two 4th place finishes.

I think what cdfe88 meant was more of being nice and positive can still carry you to fourth place finishes, and that you don't really need to be mean and be a villian to go far in the race. Another team which portrayed this positive and nice attitude was Uchenna and Joyce. I understand that there were other factors involve, but it is an opinion and whether you agree to it or not, it's still a fair and valuable assessment. And the same goes with your assessment as well, it is fair of you to say there were other factors involve, and i'm not going to even try and disagree with you.

If having a positive attitutude takes me to 4th place in TAR, I am on it!! at least i would avoid elimination station and race with the winners. :casey
On the other hand though, I was just trying to highlight the fact that even though luck is a very important in this race, having a positive attitude can really make a difference, not only in the race itslef but with the relationship with your teammate.
It is clear that they were not athletes, it is clear that they did not seem ready to make it far but both times it was enough for them to travel the world and run this amazing race.
They were not good navigating? probably not and that was probably the reason why they did not make it that far, but hey, Joe Vito and Jill were also awful navigating but never made it that far as Oswald and Danny did.
so maybe the attitude made a difference.
A la salud de Oswald y Danny! :jam:

Well, at least they raced with class and have majority of the viewers liking them for a 4th place finisher.. as compared to teams like Nathan and Jennifer or Joseph and Monica... (dysfunctional and whiney)
And they also showed that you don't need to be so competitive for a 4th place finish as well. *cough* Sorry, it's too Dusty. Anyone wants Candy? (Hope you get it..) :funny:

I loved this team because they were always positive, and didn't judge anyone!

They even took a time out to get pampered :lol:
