TAR 20: Art Velez and J.J. Carrell *Border Patrol Agents*
Oddarane:
One of my two fav. teams.
Bluesky:
I started out not liking this team because I felt that they were arrogant. But then I realized that feeling came entirely from what they had to say during the interviews, not from anything they did while racing. (Not the talks with Phil on the mat, but the interviews one can find on the website)
Here's the thing - during the interviews, we only hear a team's responses. We never hear what question came before the response. And a clever interviewer can elicit just about any answer the interviewer wants, based on how a question is phrased and other techniques. So I'm thinking "a little bit cocksure of themselves" is part of the persona the producers want this team to portray.
I think with this team we have a sterling example of "actions speak louder than words", and I have revised my opinion and now appreciate them.
georgiapeach:
Beautifully said. I can tell you without a doubt that production can be incessant getting that right soundbite.
starrynight:
JJ seems the loudest of the two and sees himself as the leader of the group, at least that's what the editing suggests.
BlooperGuy:
Thoughts on Art and JJ
1) Little big-headed, if not obnoxiously cocky. This is a bit of a turnoff, but they seem a little nice. Right? :inocent:
2) I'm not a person that goes apecrap when make 4+ wins or something. I actually get confused and slightly annoyed when people root for the underdogs. Bill and Cathi, Dave and Cherie, Mel and Mike, and others I just couldn't stand. I root for top dogs only! Well, and nice people. Nice people work for me too. :hrt:
