--- Quote ---THE QUITTING THING: Technically we didn’t “quit”, we took a penalty for not completing the Detour which happens to be a 24hr penalty (for an unfinished Detour)... mind you, that was AFTER over THREE HOURS of attempting both challenges. Obviously we knew that by giving up on the Detour and asking for the penalty we could VERY likely be eliminated, it was unlikely that we could withstand a 24hr penalty unless it was a non-elimination leg but “quitting the Race” was not what we did, technically we took the penalty (although they worded it differently when Phil came out to the field) and at the point that Brian & Ericka checked in we were then eliminated.

--- Quote ---THE HYPOTHERMIA THING: Between the dinger and golf challenge we spent over THREE HOURS attempting both challenges, in soaking wet clothing, in stormy, windy, freezing weather giving our best efforts between the two! At one point, on our second attempt at the golf field EMT’s had to come out to the field and take me off because they were worried I was getting hypothermia. You’ll notice that towards the end of the episode I’m wearing a gray, long sleeve which they made me wear if I was to continue the golf challenge even though the Detour rules stated that teams could only do it in the provided farmer long johns! The EMT’s assessed my condition and felt that continuing in the given weather conditions could be a hazardous to my health, therefore production had to make a medical exception because I was so soaked to the bone and uncontrollably shaking. CRAZY!

Maria and Tiffany tried their best the whole race . Their arms giving out after what...71 tries?? Is hardly giving up.
And I would NEVER lump them in with Marshal and Lance...one of my least favorite teams ever.
--- Quote from: Moo on November 01, 2009, 11:21:59 PM ---Oh yeah for the record, this season had...
1 Team who quit the cast because of the bull**** twist (Eric and Lisa)
1 Team quitting because of their passports/documents missing (Zev and Justin)
2 Teams who quit because of the tasks (Mika; Maria and Tiffany)
--- End quote ---
One one of those teams quit the race.
Lisa and Eric were eliminated, and THEN chose to withdraw from any further TAR involvement...they did not quit the race...they were eliminated.
Zev and Justin were eliminated because of their loss of the passport>> they definitel under NO circumstances quit.
Mika quit a task>>which led to their elimination. They did not quit the race.
Tiffany and Maria DID quit took a 24 hour penalty...in the face of two tasks they could physically not complete. I'm cutting them some slack. :hugs:
Hooky:

georgiapeach:

Well, now we know that they didn't quit. They took the penalty and were eliminated.
Bert needs to start being more honest...and stop putting in gender-biased tasks.
