Ron Zeitz and Bill Cruz Flight family and friends and domestic partners Ron Zeitz and Bill Cruz began Leg 2 from the Amazing Race 19 in last place and remained there, eventually becoming the 2nd team axed within the show's first double elimination. Their fate was sealed once they were among the eight teams who skipped the extra clue in the orphanage, however the misfortune began without one, but two bad cab motorists. Discover that which you did not see around the episode and the things they think about the additional clue hidden in plain sight.Amazing Race's Ethan and Jenna: We prefer SurvivorYou were in last the entire leg. Why have you log off to this type of bad start?Bill: We make no excuses whatsoever, but - you hear this constantly around the Race - simply because they can't show exactly what happens, you do not see what cab works, what cab did not. However when we showed up in Jakarta, i was first in the train. The 2nd we arrived in Yogyakarta, it had been downhill with taxis. Each of our taxis, that have been the functional rides of this leg - nice motorists - could never succeed. ... We never designed a mistake before orphanage. We simply had the worst luck - again, it isn't a reason, but simply a well known fact of the items happened. With spelunking as being a task that needs to be completed in an order of arrival, there's very little chance to create up time. We simply were built with a difficult time recuperating. You transformed cabs once, but could not change again?Bill: No. One was in the center of the evening within an area we understood nothing about. The cab was lost. He was nice all, but he stopped and also got on his mobile phone for help. That put us behind. Then departing to get at the caves, our cab driver am afraid of all of the activities he wouldn't pull to leave, therefore we wound up because the sixth cab within the line and that we were within the second group. The entire time, he attempted to pass through people, however it was morning hurry and there is no method of getting around. I was stuck for the reason that eleventh place that time.John: The only real time our cab really started it in was whenever we left the spelunking and headed in to the city center to complete the dancing ... after which he travelled to the orphanage. He only agreed to be onto it at that time, however, we'd lots of ground to pay for. The showgirls were maybe two minutes in front of us [departing the Roadblock]. We understood i was directly behind everything.It appeared as if you were by her in the Detour, or had you been just in a different street corner? Ron: There have been three different corners we're able to dance at. Jeremy and Sandy, and Marcus and Amani were just finishing whenever we were approaching. ... I'm not sure when the bikes were simpler, but we could fly through dancing. It required, like, fifteen minutes ... We understood i was still in last, but we felt like we're able to still constitute a while. Bill: The truth that these were there - Marcus and Amani were within the first group to depart spelunking - i was pleased to discover their whereabouts knowing we left last. The ride in the caves to another task was over an hour or so, and that is where our cab driver composed time.Amazing Race's Phil Keoghan: We now have probably the most competitive cast yetWhat would you think about the additional clue twist?Bill: At the start of the race, they stated, what's awesome concerning the Amazing Race is the fact that they are always adding new twists, and i believe that is what causes it to be so exciting and why we have loved everything these years. When you are a longtime fan, you are always searching for that clue box. Once they gave us that emblem, which was exactly what the clue box was, and that is that which was so awesome relating to this season. Nothing was that which you expect so that it is. To tag onto by using the sign - never during my craziest dreams would I've thought to check out an indication inside a frame. It had been a surprise to us whenever we recognized we skipped it, but as racers, we i never thought to search for it. We truly needed to tell ourselves after - and I am sure audiences did - "You have to check out the whole surroundings because anything could be a clue." Which was most likely the greatest as soon as. It had not been only a clue or perhaps a clue box that may offer you directions. It may be anything, including what we should just thought was area of the desk. We did not even notice it.Which means you never even looked over?Ron: I believe i was feeling excited that people had completed the job pretty rapidly. We did not know where we was and you walk in, your adrenaline's moving, the thing is these youthful women and also you start talking together and you're feeling good by what you have been able to perform. I'd say, as eight teams skipped it, it had been quite simple to miss.Expenses: At that time, because we understood i was eleventh, i was so about consuming as soon as. Whenever we walked in and saw all individuals women and also the instructors, and they are clapping and yelling, I am talking about, truly, that moment was what we should have there been for. ... I was getting a lot of fun passing on for them and seeing their excitement. We ought to always be thinking game, but we were not thinking game at this second because we understood exactly what the task was. Therefore we skipped the clue, but I'm going to be honest, at that time, I wasn't considering searching round the room for clues. Had you seen it, you would have experienced ninth and safe. Will it the charitable organisation part of the task allow it to be simpler to swallow that you simply did not?Ron: Absolutely. Whenever we returned, we understood i was done. Once we were running towards the Pit Stop the very first time, we had other teams running back. I was convinced that the lower limb was ongoing. Obviously, no a person's likely to let you know these were switched back.Bill: Whenever we returned, i was like, "We are back!" At that time, it had been completely concerning the orphanage. We understood our Amazing Race would finish, therefore we required time to provide them with it and desire them mainly because now it had been nearly, "Let us provide them with all of this money. We can not change our future." We could not change anything and even when we're able to, it had not been what that moment involved. Now we are providing them with $300 U.S., therefore it is an excellent gift.What lengths behind Ethan and Jenna had you been?Expenses: A little way whatsoever. These were checking in whenever we reached the Pit Stop. We needed to wait to sign in.Ron: I believe there is most likely ten minutes between everybody checking in who needed to return. We passed one another returning and forth. It had been also extremely warm and damp. I believe area of the adrenaline within me was saying, maybe somebody am tired they needed to walk and that we would amazingly pass somebody.Bill: I was battling too and at that time, it might take an Olympic sprint to overtake somebody even fifteen minutes in front of you.Fall Preview: Get scoop on all of your favorite coming back showsWhat are you currently so far?John: We are back at American [Air carriers]. We are making people happy in mid-air. I additionally do home financial loans, and so i continue doing that. ... We are awaiting Crest Whitestrips to give us a call because Bill am impressed with how whitened our teeth were! We all know Crest will probably be calling us every day now! [Laughs] But simply taking pleasure in existence and being careful in our family. The main reason we continued the Race was because there have been lots of health problems with this family plus they were type of were in a nice place whenever we continued the Race. Now we are getting some major difficulties with cancer battles, to ensure that is really our priority like a family. Bill: We are also benefiting from excellent messages and texts from your buddies and family and [colleagues], therefore it is great to believe that support too.
