“We are Fighting in a Nicer Way” - An Interview with The Amazing Race 8’s Paolo Family
by Jenn Brasler -- 11/10/2005
The Amazing Race’s most combustible family chats with us about the worst part of racing, connecting with other families, and their favorite moments on the race. Read on to find out why Brian thinks the banana task defined them - and it’s not because they’re bananas.
RealityNewsOnline: Hi, Marion, Tony, Brian, and D.J.! Congratulations on getting this far in the race. You did a terrific job! What did you see as your strengths in the race? What about your weaknesses?
The Paolos: We always picked the right challenge, so decision-making in the challenges were a big strength. Not listening to each other, talking over each other, not taking our time would be our weakness.
RNO: What was each person’s favorite moment in the race?
D.J.: Making the friendships with the rest of the families. I loved every aspect of the race. The soldiers were also a highlight.
Brian: The bananas summarized the race for us because we were working hard as a team and as a family. Also, seeing Panama and Costa Rica.
Marion: Seeing New Orleans and making memories. And we were able to celebrate Tony’s birthday and our 32nd anniversary.
Tony: The first leg of the race, building the house. We realized that we could do the physical aspects from that point forward.
RNO: D.J. and Brian, when did you realize that your mom would be able to keep up with the rest of you?
Brian and D.J.: During the tasks, we realized that she could keep up with us doing tasks but not so much with all-out sprints.
RNO: Did you connect with any other team on the race?
The Paolos: We connected with everyone.
RNO: What was the most difficult thing about being in the race?
The Paolos: Dealing with the stress levels and staying in the race.
RNO: Everyone seemed to start getting along better at the beginning of the sixth leg. Did something specific cause this change?
The Paolos: Being out of the country brought us closer together because we needed to rely on each other to advance ourselves on the race.
RNO: Marion, we know that you wanted to go to New Zealand, but was there any other place you wanted to go? Where did everyone else want to travel?
Marion: Munich, Germany. Brian and I had just seen a story on TV a couple weeks before and it looked like a nice place to visit.
Tony: I wanted to go around the world, anyplace, maybe Europe. I would have communicated better in Italy and Spain.
D.J.: The Pyramids in Egypt, something I would have never done before.
Brian: Anyplace exotic that we wouldn’t normally think of going to on our own.
RNO: Other than taking the correct route during your last leg, what would you have done differently?
The Paolos: We should have stuck with the other family and gone together to the Grand Canyon.
RNO: What is your home life like now? Has it changed at all?
The Paolos: It actually has gotten a little bit better. We are fighting in a nicer way. We are listening to each other.
RNO: What do you most want people to know about you?
The Paolos: That we really love each other and we are just like every other family.
RNO: Thanks for doing this interview! I wish you all the best of luck in the future.
