The Amazing Race - 16

Yes, lets be happy that a team who ran a clean and fair race is leaving at the hands of some slimey whiney bitchy low life pieces of shit who broke a deal. I guess it takes a real man to hold up their end of the bargain and it also takes a real man to keep his word. Their word is shit. They suck big time and I cant say enough shitty things about them. Nothing I can say is even close to their vileness. Add to that, I had to hear them scream and whine and bitch and moan for the WHOLE second half of the show. SHUT UP....STOP IT....WAHHHH WAHHH WAHHHHH!!! Fucking nauseating!!! Way to ruin the season for me TEAM BITCHASS BROS! MAY THEY DIAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A class act up to the moment very unlike "another team" this season!! They are true winners and the picture of good sportsmenship. FYI, they were on the Bonnie Hunt show this morning. I accidently saw it. I was at work and I had the tvs on and all of the sudden I heard the Globetrotter music (Sweet Georgia Brown) that they played several times on TAR this season and turned around to see Flight Time and Big Easy doing basketball tricks with Bonnie Hunt. I can't help but smile watching them.


'The Amazing Race 15:' Globetrotters downplay rivalry with Sam & Dan



The Globetrotters get along with Sam & Dan fine.
CBS

For much of this past season of "The Amazing Race," we have been force-fed a rivalry by CBS: the Globetrotters Flight Time & Big Easy versus brothers Sam & Dan. As it turns out, though, the groups didn't exactly hate each other as much as initially meets the eye.
In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Big Easy claimed that he wasn't upset in the least by the brothers' decision to not help him at the roadblock: "I was not angry at all. I have no ill will towards the brothers. That was their strategy on the game. It was fun. The way he chose to play the game was part of his game. We have nothing against them."
Of course, there's some pretty strong evidence that the Globetrotters and the brothers have some bad blood. We've seen the interviews, particularly the ones where Sam & Dan say they want Flight Time & Big Easy out of the game. When addressing that, Flight Time talked about their current friendship with the team: "We talk back and forth now that the race is over. I’ve said, Dang, you guys didn’t like us! They say it’s the way it was edited. We think they’re great guys. They’re hilarious. I enjoyed watching them as much as anyone else." Editing can manipulate just about everything, so this information is really no surprise. Even if Sam & Dan wanted them out, it was surely due to competition.
Some of the other tidbits from the interview are also entertaining and include the following:

• The two were selected by the Globetrotters to represent them on the race, but they say that their celebrity status didn't help them in auditions: "We went through everything that everyone else did to get on the show."
  
• They said that their trash-talking of Mika and Canaan was all in good fun; the real person with the problem here was Canaan for trying to push his girlfriend down the slide.
  
• The two at one point seem to drop a fairly big hint as to who could potentially win the race, but I'm not going to spoil that (especially when it could all be misdirection--kind of like what Coach did in his "Survivor" interviews last year when he said he would vote for Stephen).
  

I found this after I posted the above article....like I said....A class act! Even the interviewer from People magazine calls them a class act! They said had they won the money was going to charity. Its hard to imagine that they hold no ill will towards the bitchass brothers for their underhanded acts but thats what seperates the men from the boys. I can only imagine if the shoe were on the other foot.....

I had to post reader comments below the article. Its good to see how many fans they have!!


The Amazing Race
The Amazing Race: The Globetrotters Have ‘No Regrets’

December 1, 2009

It was the decision heard around the world. On the second-to-last leg of The Amazing Race, Nathaniel ‘Big Easy’ Lofton, 28, exited a roadblock he couldn’t figure out and told his partner Herb ‘Flight Time’ Lang, 32, that he wanted to take the four-hour non-completion penalty. It sealed the fate of the Harlem Globetrotters, arguably the fan-favorites, but the Louisiana natives talked to PEOPLE about not letting the choice taint their take on the trip and their rivalry with brothers Sam and Dan. –Carrie Bell
How long did you attempt the Kafka task before taking the penalty? And did you regret making that decision?
Big Easy: I was there for three-and-a-half hours before I decided. I couldn’t think clearly anymore. I don’t regret the decision. I had the answer on the paper so I thought I had used it already and got it wrong. Whatever was on the paper, I wasn’t going to try again so I would have been there even longer than the penalty if I was trying to come up with an answer.
Did you think it was even remotely possible that you might make the final three after the penalty?

Big Easy: The Race is unpredictable and takes a lot of luck. I figured, hey, somebody could make a mistake like I just did. Maybe they’d have to take a penalty on the next leg. Maybe there’d be something physical that was too hard for someone. There was nothing we could do at that point but hope and see. It wasn’t unheard of for a team to catch up.
Flight Time, you were a class act whenever your teammate faltered. The same cannot be said for the other teams.
Flight Time: We weren’t competing against other teams. We were competing against ourselves. There was nothing another team could do to frustrate us or that Big could do to frustrate me. We decided at the beginning that once we made a decision, we would stand behind it. That was it. Over. Done. That’s what team work is about. There were so many good things that Big Easy did that helped us get to the next leg. I couldn’t have made it that far without him and vice versa. And he won me a trip for my birthday. I wasn’t going to embarrass myself or my family by acting like a fool and getting mad at someone for trying.
The brothers consistently butted heads with you, yet you still worked with Dan this round. Did you expect the backstabbing?
Big Easy: For one second I was surprised he played it that way. Like, “Wow, he really did that.” But that was the strategy they ran the whole time. They did some sneaky things and were after us, but I felt sorry for them because I don’t think they enjoyed it. They didn’t enjoy the waterslide, the dancing, Ski Dubai or eating the herring … We loved every minute. They were caught up in the competition and the money, but I’m not mad at them. I don’t hold anything against them, but they missed out by fighting so much.
Looking back at the Estonia elbow incident, do you think it was an accident or intentional?
Flight Time: We blame ourselves for that part because it should have never gotten to that foot race. We finished the volleyball first and stupidly took time to [get dressed] and then walked the wrong direction as they finished and saw the pit stop. We caught up and they did what they should have which was block us. The path was so narrow that we got tangled up. I don’t think there were elbows. I may have tripped.
What was your favorite moment from your trip?
Flight Time: My favorite part was dancing in Holland until I realized I had to eat the herring. The bells were the worst experience.
Big Easy: The best part was riding the bikes dressed up with the wood shoes on looking like buffoons.
Cliché or true: The experience is worth more than winning the million?
Big Easy: I didn’t think we could get any closer on the show but we washed each other’s underwear so I guess we did. I got three emails … from people saying they cried when we lost. To have that effect on people and to be role models, we won right there. We won more friends and fans. We were going to give the money to charity anyway.


MC December 1st, 2009
They were some of the best things to ever happen to the amazing race




Kelly December 1st, 2009
Wow – what a class act those guys are. The finale won’t be the same without them.




Debi Sova December 1st, 2009
What a class act. They were, by far, the most entertaining, grounded team to appear on The Amazing Race. Their pure joy in participating made it fun for all of us to watch. I have so much respect for these two men.




Raine December 1st, 2009
they were the best. they made the show fun for me to watch. keep your head high big easy and flight time.




pamela carr December 1st, 2009
My favorite two on any amazing race ever. Both class acts, which cannot be said for the brothers




Sharon December 1st, 2009
They definitely were a class act. They had a great attidude and enjoyed their time, instead of fighting & bickering. That what that experience should be all about! I am sorry not to see them in the final three. Now to root for the underdog…




Mary Maddox December 1st, 2009
I had the pleasure of watching Big Easy troughout his college basketball career and he was my favorite player by far.I would not have watched the Amazing Race this season had it not been for Nate and Flight-Time. It was great to watch them and see how much fun they were having, I laughed alot they will be missed I hope they do an All-Star season and bring them back!




Karen December 1st, 2009
Amazing Race should do a season with all celebrities.




Ellen December 1st, 2009
Of the final three, I won’t remember who won beyond the finale. Hopefully it will NOT be the brothers who in EVERY way have been an example of bad sportsmanship. I will however long remember the Globetrotters. They are the ultimate class act. They never were disrespectful to their surroundings, to each other or to the other team members. I am sad to see them go. They may not have won the money but they have won the game!!!




Reader December 1st, 2009
I absolutely adored the Globe Trotters the entire race. They were patient, kind, respectful of each other and the other teams, and above that – entertaining! It is true that the other teams who are mainly concerned with the competition and the prize are missing out on an incredible experience and a once in a lifetime opportunity to bond with each other. The Globe Trotters will be missed! Now I don’t know who to root for…Miss. America is a disgrace to the title, Megan’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard, and the brother’s are just awful!




Cezanne Flowers December 1st, 2009
They were the best. They encouraged each other every step of the way. That is what teams do. I cried when Phil said you have been eliminated!!!!! They were my children’s favorite. Everything they did was with class. Flight Time and Big Easy we hope to meet you someday.




jg December 1st, 2009
My 8 yr old son cried when they were eliminated
I love Flight time and Big easy
Bring them back for All stars




ellie December 1st, 2009
loved the classy way the played the game. such positivity and laughter with these 2 guys. the show won’t be the same without them.




Ronda December 1st, 2009
Loved these guys, really gonna miss them next week, i guess will root for Brian, he’s the next nicest person on race. But its Megan and Cheynne race to loose. Hope the brothers end up third. Need to bring back these guys for a All-Star TAR.




Melissa Cummings December 1st, 2009
My 11-year-old son cried when the lost too. He loved them soooo much. So yes, they were good role models indeed!




Tonya December 1st, 2009
They were our entire families favorites!! They had a great time and enjoyed what they were doing and played the game with class…we already miss them!!




Ira December 1st, 2009
Classy guys. They were supportive of each other throughout the race. Not a bad word said against each other. I hope MS. America and her husband wins this race.




sajida December 1st, 2009
I was there number one fan, and i am bummbed they were eliminated!!!




LALA December 1st, 2009
i’m so sad they got eliminated =( they were defintly my favorite and hilarious! i wanted them to win.. but now, i hope megan and shayne with! =)




Vero December 1st, 2009
They were my favorite too; I agree with most posts “CLASS ACT”.




Debbie Tower December 1st, 2009
My whole family turned into HUGE Big Easy and Flight Time fans! They have been our favorite team – including all previous seasons. They are all-round fantastic men and were so much fun to watch! So sorry to see them go before the big finish.




Kayla December 1st, 2009
I was very saddened to see you two guys lose; you were a breath of fresh air and loved to have you on the show. I was up to here with the brothers, and with Meghan’s whinny voice all the time. You truly enjoyed being in the race, got the most of everything you did and saw, and if you lost, you lost clean, fair and square. I sincerely hope the brother did NOT win the race; they did not deserve it; one thing is to compete, another thing is to be so underhanded that you have to cheat. THAT was not fair. Good luck to both you guy, you are both great guys.




jz December 1st, 2009
I for one, hope the brothers and the yellow team looses! I am tired of the wifes whinning, and her princess attitude to her husband and Im tired of the brothers constant belly aching to one another…Grow up boys! You look stupid!




Hayden December 1st, 2009
I loved Flight Time and Big Easy. They were the best part of the show. I will probably not watch the end of the show now because it would hurt if Sam and Dan won. I think Megan and Cheyne are the strongest competitors left.




Barrett Simpson December 1st, 2009
I hope to see these guys on an All-Star version at some point in the future – they deserve more than anyone who wins this season. For CBS, just think how many people would watch based on the fact they would be a part of it.




Stu Fulford December 1st, 2009
Was it just me, or were you sick of hearing the brothers saying “SHUT UP!” in their whiney voices? I would have rather lost the race than stabbed someone in the back like the brother did, stolen cabs, etc. Shame on you, Sam and Dan, but hopefully people in your futures will see what type of people you are and avoid you. Of course, this is a world where nasty people flourish.




Robyn December 1st, 2009
Love those guys…they were the reason I watched this season! Some of the other teams could learn a lot from them. Sad they are gone!




Urslynn December 1st, 2009
The Globetrotters will truly be missed. They were classy competitors. Their families should be very proud of how they acted. The Globetrotters are the American Ambassadors and Flight Time and Big Easy showed that. If there is a Celebrity Amazing Race, they should be on it.




ML December 1st, 2009
My whole family loved the Globetrotters! You guys were the best team ever on the show in our opinion. You all were a joy to watch and the finale will be a let down with you guys no longer in it. Thanks for a great season!




Shelley December 1st, 2009
The Globetrotters were the best ever. I was so sad to see them go. The finale won’t be the same. I am going to have to root for the underdog team. They should have the Globetrotters on every season just to show the other players how to act. They will be missed. Maybe they should get a show of their own!!!!




jiggy December 1st, 2009
You guys were my favorites!! The brothers will not win, they fight way too much.




Fan December 1st, 2009
WOW! What a class act. These guys were so easy to love. Your mamma(s) mus be SO proud. They were such great role models of sportsmanship, respect, kindness, and just Fun




Caroline December 1st, 2009
The Globetrotters were my one of my favorite teams. They certainly classy guys and I admire them for that. They never lost their composure and always maintained their integrity. They are already winners in my book.




Allessandra December 1st, 2009
I totally agree with the poster who is hoping for an All-Stars Amazing Race. I’ve been commenting elsewhere that CBS should put Big Easy and Flight Time in EVERY Amazing Race from here on in. I’ve seen this elsewhere: they made us proud to be Americans.
And I don’t know if you noticed, but as much as they complained about Meghan saying, “Cheyne, Cheyne”, throughout they also gave her due for being a strong and FAIR competitor.




Jamie December 1st, 2009
I’m so glad to see so much positive feedback for the globetrotters!!! I was hoping they were “America’s Favorite Team”. I really wanted them to win. They made they show and they should be very proud of themselves!!!




LB December 1st, 2009
I loved the Globetrotters…they will definitely be missed during the finale. It’s just not the same without them.

hmmmmm I was reading an article about the bitchass brothers and its from their hometown paper or something. I missed this in the article but a reader picked up on it.......please let it be true

Here is a paragraph from the article

"Meanwhile, brother Sam, 24, is putting together applications to medical school and serving at P.F. Chang’s on the Plaza. He’s a recent graduate of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth."

now here is a readers comment particularly the bolded sentence:


Do the realize what whiny a$$hats they are coming off as? Everyone I know that watches the show is rooting against them, even though they are hometown boys. If they lose it will because of all the bad Karma they've built up over the course of the season.
Saw the show for the second time last night (I hate reality t.v. but my girlfriend is in to it). Didn't know they were from the area. Thought the backstabbing as the star calls it was in very poor taste and it shows one of the many problems we have in our society- all for me and I don,t care about what deals I make my word is no good (and by the way that is all you have). It shows the ethics they are teaching at William Jewell-- use everybody and do what you have to do to get ahead, lie, cheat, and steal if you have to. You should be ashamed of the way you represented your family, school, city and for that matter the midwest. I hope you lost the race to someone with more ethics. I guess if your brother is working as a waiter, we know you did not win.

Whatever. SAM & DAN FTW! <333

Quote :

I was wanting Sam and Dan to win until they felt
the need to play the game like jackasses. And as karma always does come
back around it could explain him waiting tables at P.F Changs ....haha
Love it!

as do I! I am hoping hoping hoping that this is a sign that barf bros didnt win shit. If they do somehow win this race, in my opinion they would be the WORST winners in the history of TAR. But if they won the mill, why is bitch boy waiting tables? I love even more that their own hometown is rooting against them!!! Why should their hometown be any different than the rest of the country!

And for the record the Globe Followers were willing to take a FOUR HOUR PENALTY. And Big Douchey is a complete IDIOT he couldn't figure out 2 + 2. Good riddance!

sorry Colton, the only douches on the show this season are the bitchass brothers and you know it. I have to think that if these whiny ass, lowlife, scum of the earth brothers were ugly, you wouldnt be that big of a fan, and their only fan for that matter. They have NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. They bitch, moan, cheat, whine, steal, break their word, are poor sports and have mostly made the amazing race unpleasant when they were given camera time. A pretty face only goes so far. And for the record, Big Easy helped fuckface get that answer by giving him all his wrong answers and having pigvomit not turn those answers in. You just can't get any lower than that. Honestly, I still don't get the hate for the Globes...its baffling to me. I asked you this before and I think you said you didnt like their attitude....but you like the attitude of the vile brothers?? The brothers who even the people in their own hometown are rooting against? Again, I am absolutely baffled!!

Sam & Dan bicker! Brothers bicker! If Ethan and I did The Amazing Race, we would definitely not always see eye to eye, and I would probably *gasp* whineeeee. And as far as them "lying, cheating, and stealing" I find that HILARIOUS coming from a RUSSELL fan. That man is the scum of the earth and yet everyone LOVES him. He has LIED to everyone on that island, he's clearly cheating because production is telling him or at least hinting at where idols are, and he STOLE people's socks and burned them.. Sam & Dan have done what they had to do to stay in the Race. I LOVE them! <3

But I love you too, lol. So let's just agree to disagree. <3

lmfao @ Bicker. Well thats putting it mildly. They scream, yell, bitch, moan, whine and overall make it very unpleasant and uncomfortable to watch. Please dont even think for one SECOND think that Ethan would EVER act like those bitchass pieces of shit bros. Ethan has more class in his little finger then the two of them put together!!! Its insulting to even have his name in the same sentence with low class scum.
As for Russell, you are comparing apples to oranges. Two completely different types of strategies involved here. Surprised you cant see the difference. I dont like Russell because he lies and cheats (um who doesnt lie in survivor but how is he cheating??) I admire him that he is balls to the wall and hands down one of the best players to EVER play this game. He is making the rest of the cast look like fools. So you think that Survivor is cheating for him???? wow, didnt the rest of the reward winners all see the same tape? Now you are saying that production is showing Russell where the idols are? This sounds like sour grapes to me and bitterness over the GodASS Kelly and that other GodASS, who even gives a damn what her name was, got their asses handed to them by none ofher then Russell!!! I am just betting if Russell looked like Sam or Dan, you would probably be a fan and vice versa. If Sam and Dan looked like Russell and Evel Dick, you would DETEST them.
So if you are comparing Sam and Dans behavior to Russells, why is it that you like them and not Russell...once again Colton, you have me absolutely baffled.

OK.... I'll bite... Who is Ethan?

lol, oh Erika! He won Survivor Africa and is currently fighting cancer

ohhhh THAT Ethan!

Well yeah he has a pretty good attitude, can't see him bickering like the bitchy brothers.

NO! My brother, hahahahaha.

lmao!!!!!!!!!! Wow, you and Ethan are like Sam and Dan? NO WAY!!! lol
anyway, its been fun Colton. I like debating with you...lol

You must have been so baffled when I was like, Ethan WOULD NEVER act like them...you were probably like, how does she know how Ethan would act...LOLOLOLOL! But he probably wouldnt! :-)

I couldn't have said it any better Lorraine.....If those fuckers win the race, I will be very dissapointed........They are the biggest bitches I ever seen!

Hahaha! I love my brother to death, and we are best friends. HOWEVER, we are VERY different. He's the football player whereas I was Homecoming King, hahaha. We see things differently sometimes, and I am bad about if something doesn't go my way or if something's hard I will whine about it. Ethan would probably also get annoyed with me on the Race, but at the end of the day we would still be proud of each other and be supportive. That's where I relate us to Sam and Dan.

How are the ungrateful?! I just don't see why everyone hates them. They haven't done anything to do be hated for besides arguing between themselves. Yes, they stole Ericka and Brian's cab, but guess what so did Meghan and Cheyene! Obviously, Sam and Dan are better than those idiots I won't even take time to mention because guess what THEY BEAT THEM!

Colton, Colton, Colton...it goes way beyond their whining. They are poor sports, dishonest, complainers, and basically cutthroat. Mix that in with their vileness and bitchery and its just not a good recipe. If you cant see that taking all of Big Easy's wrong answers, which he gave willingly after fuckface proposed the deal, thus saving him from turning in duplicate wrong answers and THEN getting the right answer and NOT sharing it with Big Easy is not one of the sleeziest, scummiest, lowlife things that someone can do...well remind me to not make any deals with you..lol. While you cant see why no one likes them (and they dont) I cant see why you LIKE them??
