TAR8Vet:
Release forms are subjective but they are only obtained when someone is filmed interacting with the racers, normally getting directions. It seemed at the beginning of the race they were getting them from almost everyone and by the end only if they thought it was an important interaction. To eliminate the possibility of needing to stop for waivers we liked to ask people for directions who were in other vehicles while we were in our vehicle, making it virtually impossible to ask them for one.
We had to get a release from the last person we asked directions from on our way to the boats in the finale, and he was the same guy the Linz's had asked for directions right before us and they obviously hadn't gotten a release. That's one I've thought about from time to time.
Jeffrey Scott:
Another question along the same tangent. So what if they refuse? Then that scene is just not used? What if it was something important that happened where a person interacted with the racers? Like someone was injured and help was offered by a bystander.
TAR8Vet:
Most everyone ends up signing. If they can't get them to sign within a reasonable amount of time (like one or two minutes) they just move on. I don't know if a refusal effects whether they use the footage or not.
Jeffrey Scott:
I was thinking after I posted that, that it was probably more a producer type of question. Sorry. :(

Wally, Did that gal that you gave a ride on the Red Devil bus sign a release? :lol3:
Jeffreysq, If you remember, the Bransens gave a ride to a young woman in Panama hoping she would lead them to the next clue. Instead, they just ended up giving her a ride to work. Wally and one of his daughters had WTF looks when they left her in some parking lot. :lol3: :lol3: :lol3: :lol3:
