So I think that we went into it kind of knowing that, and so I was optimistic that our friendship would survive. So, when we had that understanding, we kind of knew that we would never going to attack one another or fight with one another or be destructive towards another. We both cared so much about it, we both wanted to do well so badly, so there was never a time when one of us should have been like, ‘Eliza, hurry up! Corrine, hurry up!’ like we both were running as fast as we were, performing at the best we could do. So that’s definitely a concern, but Corinne and I had talked about it in advance, and we have a deep mutual respect for one another, and we also knew that there was never going to be a point in time, where either one of us wasn’t giving it our 100 percent. MJ: Eliza, was there ever a fear? I mean if I have a friend that I haven’t done something this stressful with… is there ever a fear, that when we come out of it, is our relationship going to stay the same? Are we still going to be friends after something like this?ĮO: Yeah, definitely, you know, you certainly worry about that teamwork you kind ofrely on the other person and on Amazing Race, often times, it does come down to one person failing a task and the other person, suffering the consequences of that as well. And so going into it I was really scared, I thought, ‘oh everyone else knows each other so well and this is going to be tough,’ but because we’re both, I think highly intelligent and very pragmatic people, as soon as we got into the training for it (in the weeks prior to leaving) it was immediately apparent that we were going to work super well together, like that wasn’t going to be the issue. It’s not like we previously traveled the world on vacations together. And we were like, what is it? Is it that we’re both Jewish? We’re both brunettes? We’re single? Like we couldn’t- and then all of a sudden, it dawned on us like, ‘oh, we’re both villains!’ So we sort of decided how best to work together as being people who hadn’t previously played together. So I was starting to just kind of figure out, like you know because we’ve been on a couple CBS shows there’s always a hook to it. MJ: Corinne, what was it like teaming with Eliza and what was your team dynamic like?Ĭorinne Kaplan: So I had no idea, at first, why they put us together only because naturally when you watch Amazing Race, it’s definitely like siblings or married couples or at least people who had played together and had an alliance on their original season. She’s still mad at me for having gone on with Corinne! I never imagined it at all, and we feel really grateful and lucky that we got this opportunity. I know many years ago they were thinking about doing a Survivor season of The Amazing Race, and at that time, I thought my partner would have been Ami Cusack which would have been fun. I mean, Corinne hadn’t even played Survivor yet, when I had completed my Survivor career… so I never imagined that we would be teamed up. When you and Corinne both played Survivor, did you ever think that you would be teamed up on The Amazing Race?Įliza Orlins: Well, certainly not, when I played Survivor. Let’s join Corinne and Eliza, they are on the line. Although I have a lot of favorite teams this season (considering I know, almost all of them). Murtz Jaffer: Murtz Jaffer here talking to my favorite team from this season of The Amazing Race. I recently caught up with Corinne and Eliza to find out what happened. Their frustrations boiled over on the elimination mat when Corinne and Eliza expressed frustration (and plenty of eye rolls) and being forced to share their final moments on the show with the Rachel and Elissa Reilly who narrowly finished in front of them to stay on the Race. The Survivor alums referred to themselves as the villains of the season and were eliminated after Eliza struggled with the motorbike portion of the roadblock task in Ho Chi Minh City. Wednesday’s episode of The Amazing Race saw the elimination of Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins. **Listen to the audio podcast of this interview at the end of this article.** Download file | Play in new window | Recorded on May 13, 2019
