Team Guido:
--- Quote ---And for Team Guido, when you were stuck in Africa with Eric & Danielle, Bill went out and tried to get the pilot's attention with his small bell and whistle. Did he think he could actually get the plane to stop and what was Joe thinking when this was all happening?
--- End quote ---
It was Joe. He wanted to go all the way up to the plane's door before it was closed. He opted not to do this when Danielle refused to go with him. She was, by then, crying! The plane sat there for about 30 minutes! Frustrated, Joe decided he needed to do something, ring some bells. OY! I was laughing, but also hoping he would not get into trouble. This was the infamous airport where Colin was almost arrested for not paying his cab fare!
We later found out there was bad blood between Air Tanzania and KLM. Apparently Air Tanzania had been delayed before and did not notify KLM, so they decided to teach the airline a lesson and not allow us on the flight. We all had carry-on backpacks, but the Captain was afraid we would delay the flight by loading luggage? Who knows what might have been if we had been able to make that flight.

Team Guido:
--- Quote ---Love everyone who has come!
For team Guido:
How surprised were you when you were last, but then found that Nancy and Emily made a terrible mistake?
--- End quote ---
When we arrived at Krabi it was very early morning. When we got to the Temple we walked past about 12 pairs of shoes that were obviously from other teams and camera crews! We knew then that we were about to go home! What happened instead shocked and saddened us! Nancy and Emily had become very close to us by this time. We had spoken to them about the Tunis incident and helped them with a quick way across the river in Bangkok after we won the FF.
Phil came over to us to talk before he greeted us to check us in to the pit stop and said we would have to wait a few minutes....very unusual! While we waited in this very quiet Bhuddist temple, Nancy and Emily came into the area where we were seated.....now we know something really bad is going to happen.
Phil joined us at a special area they had arranged to give us the following information ON CAMERA!
Emily and Nancy had made an error in using the wrong type of transportation in the last leg of the race. Our mistake was taking a bus instead of private car to the pit stop once we had the fast forward. It turns out that Nancy and Emily were penalized 24 hours thereby eliminating them instead of Team Guido....we genuinely felt terrible! We knew for sure we were now the villains of this race. We wanted to win on our own merits, or lose because of our own mistakes, now we were getting a free pass because Nancy and Emily were being eliminated!
When we went down to the pit stop area of the Temple where the other teams were, you could hear a pin drop. All of the remaining teams now were aware that Emily and Nancy had been eliminated and Team Guido would live to see another leg! Well, you could tell they were not happy! Nancy and Emily were very nice racers to race with, and certainly better competition if you are trying to win a race! The course was getting tougher and I am sure the other teams, who hated us anyway, but felt we were the stronger of the two competitors.....I know Nancy and Emily would disagree with me! It was not a good time for us. We did feel bad for being the reason Emily and Nancy were eliminated, and we could feel the genuine disdain the other teams were directing at us.
That time in the Temple was good for us. That was when we decided we would eliminate Kevin and Drew next, we would most likely be fighting for third place. And at that time, maybe we still had a chance at the million, we weren't going to give up.

Ashe:
Joe & Bill:
The full explanation of the Tunis airport thing. Is that also the story you told Karyn? Because whatever you seemed to be telling her, the editing certainly seemed to make it look like you were lying.
That said, what did you think of the first three teams gone? Did you like Matt & Ana, Kim & Leslie, and Pat & Brenda?
eragon:
Question for Team Guido...
When you were in Krakow, during the intersection where you ate a 25-inch sausage! That was one of my favorite tasks in all-stars! ;D Was it really hard to eat, because we saw Dustin puked after she finished her sausage... What are the things happened there that were not shown??
apskip:
Eragon,
You have the essence of it, but the detail is wrong. I recall the intersected team of 4 eating 24 inches total, which is 6 inches each or 12 inches for each normal team. This means Joe/Bill had 12 inches and their partners Eric/Danielle had 12 inches. It also meant that Dustin/Kandice had 12 inches and the ir partners Charla/Mirna had 12 inches.
