TAR 17: Jill Haney and Thomas Wolfard -- Dating
Jobby:
--- Quote ---THE DEADBOLT: After watching the season, is there anything you wish we saw that wasn't aired?
THOMAS: There was one time. I don't know if I can even mention this, but we were stopped in the airport for security and we were going to Sweden ...
JILL: On that first flight that was early.
THOMAS: ... we had tickets on that earlier flight when half of the people got there earlier and half got there later.
JILL: We got on that first flight and got stopped from competing by the German police.
THOMAS: We got stopped because they were filming in a secure area.
JILL: Yeah, the passport area and they we didn't realize it as we were running through the door. So we actually missed that flight we had seats on because the German police had to look through our footage to make sure there wasn't anything on it.

Which eventually lead to them using the EP. Now that's something I didn't know! :cmas7

Although you did not know it, one has to question what difference it made. The Express Pass had to be used in Sweden, St. Petersburg, or Oman before its 8 leg use limit ran out. Since Thomas and Jill made it to the finale anyway, I will argue that it did not matter that they had to use the Express Pass in Sweden (actually, they didn't but they wanted to be super-safe and not take the slightest risk).

I am not questioning about the difference it made. I think it is just interesting that it ultimately led to them being in the back pack and using the Express Pass. I know it would not have made a difference as they will make the F3 anyway, but the only difference it will make is whether or not they will use it to secure a win in a leg (like Ernie and Cindy tried to do). Thanks.
