EP1 Title: "I Told You Less Martinis And More Cardio."

<< < (104/106) > >>

apskip:
There are two aspects of AR11 episode 1 that have plagued recent races - begging and taxis hired to lead racers. Two of the CBS videos shed some light on this. In one, Rob and Amber tell a Chicago area couple in a bookstore in Miami airport that they have no money(can't be true; see what Charla and Mirna say below) and that they are in a race and cannot beg them for the money to buy this $35 book on Eduador that they need, but will the couple please buy it for them (which they do). We now that in Quito Rob and Amber pay a taxi to lead them to Cotopaxi National Park. We later learn that there is an entrance fee of $10 (not clear if per person or vehicle) to the park.

Charla and Mirna asked a local in Quito to guide them and when they saw how it was impacting him to do so (bus fare back, etc.) they gave him all their money. When they got to the park entrance they had none for the park entrance fee but a tourist bus was there at the same time so they begged for it.

Which is it? Did the producers change the rules to eliminate begging or not? If they did, where is the enforcement and penalties?

Either way, seeing the use of a taxi leading Rob and Amber to victory was totally pathetic. I only hope that a lack of money in leg 4 proves to be his undoing.

There was definitely a skipped task after Pim's. 

Sadly, what they did was not a trip to Mitad.

puddin:
Good find Chateau  :jumpy:

Chateau d If:
Thanks Puddin.

Did anybody else see the awesome Venus-next-to-Moon tonight?

I was just looking at it.  It will be gone in about 10 min so if you are on the West coast, have a look.

Fwiw, Phil's standup was at the Bank of America tower on southeast 2nd street.
