The amazing race mark and Larry were “less than a minute” behind the teams

Mark Crawford and Larry GrahamThe elimination The incredible race Went down one foot to the finish line.

“When we went up, we were trying to get out of the taxi, but there was a bus and the taxi driver would not allow us to leave,” said Graham, 59, exclusively said Use weekly of the elimination of his and Crawford. “And at that moment when we left, they ran and so we fell behind.”

During the episode of the premiere, Graham and Crawford were on his neck and neck with two teams: the dating nurses Courtney Ramsey and Jasmin Carey more brothers Nick fiorito and Mike Fiorito. Graham added that the time difference Between the three teams It was “probably less than a minute.”

“It was near,” Crawford said Us. “We could see them. They were there.”

In the episode, viewers saw Ramsey and Carey struggled to find transport on Hong Kong’s occupied streets. The women were the second who came to the Fork on the road stop. Finally they chose to do the dance work, thinking that other teams could pass, including Graham and Crawford.

Graham and Crawford immediately opted for the dance challenge instead of singing (which had fewer teams registered at the time), as none of them trusted their vocal skills. Retired firefighters also hesitated to try to sing in Chinese.

“If you felt like singing, you would not really be (an option),” said Crawford. “There was a clear fork there, but we only had one way we were going.”

While Graham and Crawford took an extra time at Dancing Challenge, they confessed that the task had a more difficult element due to the language barrier between them and their instructor.

“When we communicated with our boy, he could dance very well. He could play the little drummer. But we lost a bit of the interpretation, “said Crawford Us. “Dance was not difficult, but we couldn’t lower the steps because it was just a slight communication problem.”

When Crawford and Graham sailed on the challenge, they shared that they were not surprised to see Ramsey and Carey up to date as they were not sure of their place in general.

“You don’t know where the people are in the race. We had no idea where we were from, “said Graham. “As when we arrived at the road fork. We were the number seven or something right in the middle of the package. And I was thinking, “We are like death last.”

Like Ramsey and Carey, Graham and Crawford they also struggled to take a walk after releasing their taxi once they reached the road fork.

“Things happen … We are grateful to be where we were in the race. And what you don’t realize is that they are not so many taxis,” Graham said. “Sometimes he gets one, but you have to find out how you can communicate -wherever you go.”
