Our interview with Jim and Marsha

Jim: Charla and Mirna really surprised us. They are much more competitive than we ever gave them credit for. But I'm also surprised at them because they said they wanted to run the race to show that little people could do whatever anyone else could, and they ended up using that as a "crutch" several times on the show to get people to go out of their way to help them, or get special treatment. If that works for them, that's fine, but it kind of surprised me.

Never thought about it like that but she does have a point.

ITA! I agree you Thonalon and we all have our opinions. Very well put 2c. Didn't you love how Jim and Marsha were so down to earth and answered every answer honestly. Did anyone catch what they said on the early show?

I was curious why Jim and Marsha didn't go for the fast forward. John, did you happen to ask that question?

There are only two fast forwards this year.

Thanks for clearing it up. I had misunderstood - I had thought there were only two chances in each leg of the race to go for the fast forward.

Great interview! I love getting more of the inside scoop.

When the show aired, I questioned the Brandon and Nicole thing--getting tickets from two different teams. I think people automatically tend to look for non-Godly qualities in people who speak so openly about their religion, but I think we keep doing it because we're so often proven correct!!! Brandon and Nicole are just two more examples of this.

I'm also sort of hoping that the producers are setting up Brandon and Nicole the way Omarosa got set up!!

Thanks so much for the interview! I was sad to see them go. There were plenty of teams I would have liked to see go first.

I'm so glad they took the time to answer the questions fully. :up

Thanks for posting that..good read!

I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Brandon & Nicole.

Consider it done. You just can't have it both ways, Charla!
