Season 16 = Dumbest Cast Ever...?
DeafRacer:
--- Quote from: chill_sd on April 22, 2010, 01:00:12 PM ---I don't think it's really much of a secret, Luke. In the early seasons, Phil would always talk about how teams had a chance to eat together and interact during the mandatory rest periods.
There's even a memorable scene where teams gather around the mat area and applaud the team getting eliminated, and of course, Chip and Reichen's coming out to the other teams.
For this season, I think Joe also talked about having time to spend with the other teams at that extended pitstop after leg 3 in Bariloche.
I personally think it's kind of a shame that ESM has been mostly eliminated, but it's an even bigger shame that TPTB are not honest with us, the viewers, about it.
--- End quote ---
How do you know if it have been mostly eliminated or not? There's no proof.

It has been discussed by MANY racers in exit interviews and elsewhere, Luke. It really isn't a secret anymore.
But I agree, it is sad... It used to be a choice at the Pitstop...do I sleep and do laundry? Or do I mingle, form bonds, chat with the other teams, and create alliances? And the best part was the viewer go to share in those moments. Now it is rare footage to see even in the Insider clips. A shame really.
chill_sd:
In addition to post-race interviews, we also have evidence from the show. One example is last season. As the racers arrived at the airport in Prague, for the final flight to Las Vegas, teams remarked that they didn't know who would be joining them and who had been eliminated. It was very clear that they didn't "mingle" during the "mandatory rest period," aka pitstop.
georgiapeach:
Good point...that happened just recently on 16 too, but I am blanking on who it was...
DeafRacer:
Well, a story is that I was sitting nervously and couldn't eat that much while I'm waiting for a last team to walk in the dining room.
Mark & Michael walked in. I let a huge relief of sigh out and knew Amanda & Kris got eliminated. :tup:
That's one of pit stop stories! :waves:
