--- Quote from: lovetherace on April 27, 2011, 08:00:27 AM ---Really no reason to be unpleasant, I was only noting some information said by racers in a source of interviews I didn't recall seeing mentioned much.
What was interesting to me particularly was seeing how things are shaded by editing, something I hadn't fully appreciated before. I'm sure those of you with long experience here are fully aware of this, but it was a lesson for me.
With respect to the specific question, I did also feel that given the delay of the later flight, a 30 minute penalty was reasonable for K/V, and I didn't understand why it was an issue with the other racers. According to the interviews, it seemed that the issue was more one of how the instructions were worded, with racers feeling more that they had been deceived by TPTB, rather than a particular grudge against K/V. I wasn't presenting an argument, just pointing out some information.
Perhaps I will just go back to lurking...

Thanks for sharing the interview, lovetherace and welcome to RFF! Don't go back to lurking, it's great for people to share. Don't let certain posters scare you off. You have to have a thick skin on here sometimes. :lol:

:bigwelcome lovetherace!! With a name like that you are definitely in the right place!!
Thanks for pulling together all the interview info. I also feel that until the U-Turn, the time difference may not have been overwhelming apart. The Trotters seemed to have quite a bit of trouble on the luggage task.

^^Yeah, what Prophet said ^^ There are a couple in particular that like to challenge people and I have learned I have to sit on my hands and bite my lip until the urge to kill goes away. LMAO
On another note... I saw an interview with Gary & Mallory on CBS. They were on the train to Zermat. They said that Kisha and Jen were telling people to U-Turn the Goths. I was surprised that after all that, they didn't U-Turn them themselves!

There were numerous flight connections to get from Tokyo-Narita to Chengdu both before and after the "mandatory" flight. As you would know if you carefully read earlier threads on this, there was no reason to put all teams on that flight other than:

Apskip, please remember that not everyone pays as much attention to details as you do.

No need to lurk! I too wonder about how things are changed, perspective wise, with the editing.
Welcome to RFF, we're happy that you've joined in the discussions! :tup:
