Bilal & Saeed or Eric & Lisa: Unfair Elimination

<< < (5/5)

Slowhatch:

--- Quote from: Competitor ---I was very disappointed in the starting line elimination, but when I read reports that Eric and Lisa were not really fans of the show and had been recruited, my disappointment tempered a little.

Here's the relevant part from their interview with RTVW:
--- Quote ---Reality TV World: How were you cast for The Amazing Race? Was it your first time applying for the show?

Eric: I have a student who really is interested in reality shows. She kept telling me that I would be perfect for The Amazing Race and one day took it upon herself to submit us to the show. She called me up and said, "I've got to tell you something man. I just submitted you to this show. I don't know if you're going to hear back."

Literally within an hour we heard back from the producers and they said, "Hey, we love you guys. Can you make it down to Santa Monica?" We went there and as soon as we met them we knew it was on. It went that quickly. They said, "You're great, we love you."

Lisa: We had never even seen the show prior to that call either

Thanks for the link, I remember thinking that was a good interview. They also went out on air with grace.

This sums it up nicely, I think (from the same interview):


--- Quote ---Reality TV World:  In hindsight, do you think your brief The Amazing Race experience was worth it?  Why or why not?

Lisa: Eric take that one.

Eric:  That's what life is.  Life is a series of experiences.  Our job is to make them as best as they can be.  I think that we still have not seen what fruits this experience will bear.  We are yet to see where it's going to take it or how we can use this in our lives. We know this much: Life is what you live, you only die once.  We're going to keep living everyday to its fullest.

Lisa: The real experience of life has nothing to do with running a race.  Eric and I are just grateful for all the blessing that come our way.  We just really, really feel like really blessed.  We're just grateful for everything.

I would have done that if the producers eliminated me at the starting line. Only maybe.. i'll ask where ES is at first. If it's somewhere Europe... :<3 :lol:
