Cut all their hair off?!

[kssand]

Did you catch that last line of the previews for next week? It said something like "watch and see who decides to use the fast forward and finds out they have to cut all their hair off"! Talk about LOL! I can't wait! Who do you think it will be? I'm betting on the bowling moms or the twins.

I'm still curious about the yield. It seems as though someone would have used it by now. The action in this episode was great--the off-roading and sky-diving. Also, the producers are doing a great job of keeping the suspense going. You never know who's going to come in last!

I hope it's Christie or Nicole...I bet neither of those two would be willing to do it!

I hope it's not Kim -- her hair is beautiful.

If it's Christie I can bet that Colin would try to force her to cut it off.
Imagine if they refuse, they will have to go back and complete the tasks. If it's cutting it short I would do it but if it's shaving my head bald no way!
I think the Moms wouldn't give it another thought. They seem to roll with the flow. I think any of the other women on the show are going to have a fit when they find out...

It would be funny if it was one of the Godels... especially Nicole.

Since the twins had to give up all their money, perhaps they will sell their blonde hair!

[WindyCity]

It couldn't be Colin & Christie because they already used a fast forward and they can't use it again. I am guessing its the twins (or shall I say Hoping?).

[TRoe]

I can't help but think it's going to be the Mom's. They have had such bad luck this would be par for the course Now that I think of it the Taxi Driver would probably take them to the wrong hair salon so it wouldn't matter anyway.

Ain't that the truth!!! It will probably end up being the Mom's. I sure can't see the twins cutting their hair off!!! If it is Kim she would do it without a hesitation!! Too bad it can be Christie - Colin would really lose it if she refused!!!!

Actually, they can't refuse to have their hair cut off since upon receiving the envelope at the road block they'll be able to read what they have to do for a detour, fast forward, etc.
So for fast forwards, before they actually go there they'll know what to expect already so it's just a matter of getting there first otherwise they'll have to go back to the original route.

The Yield would be interesting but as mentioned in the first episode there's only 2 Yields in the race. So all throughout the race those 2 yields would be randomly placed. So there isn't any yield in every race. Would be interesting if that last Yield would be found in the last episode. =)

As for the hair thing, I think it's gonna be Chip and Kim. Simply because I don't think they'll have any problems about it unlike the other contestants. So it would be easy for them to decide right away if they'll take the fast forward or not.

Maybe I'm overthinking this....

Obviously the show isn't live. And all of them have to sign the secrecy contract, right? So wouldn't something have leaked out by now that 2 of them came home with no hair?

Hey, it's early here. Maybe I'm not awake yet.

Greg, still waiting to hear about my future...

I thought they only got a clue on some of the tasks. On the cavier thing it said who has a taste for the good life. I thought they didn't know what they were getting into and had to decide before they opened the envelope for details.
Same thing with the Bull/Cow task where they had to get the Hanky from around the cows neck (or what ever they were) it said something like who's fast on their feet. I remember Charla saying that Mirna had to do it because she wasn't fast. Anyone know how these work?

I think they only get a clue during a road block where only one person can perform it. So they usually get surprised when they actually realize what their going to do.

Remember the detour on the last episode. They either jump off a plane or go rough riding in the dessert. They're well informed of the details beforehand like the 45 min interval of the planes, risk of getting trapped in the sand, etc.

Side Note: Next week the twin's won't have any money....Hmmm, I wonder what they'll be doing to get some money

[kssand]

The hair problem comes up in a fast forward. I believe they have the option of completing the tasks or not. If they do, they get to advance directly to the pit stop. I've never seen anyone refuse though, so I don't know how that would be handled.

Did you see the previews of the twins trying to use their "feminine wiles" to get transportation? This is going to be funny!!

Greg, still waiting to hear about my future...

I see you watching the Amazing Race, tomorrow, Tuesday August 31st at 9 o'clock instead of 10 o'clock due to the Republican National Convention.

Check your local listings, people!

[LoriLinay]

GregW...You're fired!

I'm in the Central Time Zone. I was watching it at 8.

But what about love? Money? Fame? Future?

(let's see, let's use the same tricks that the fortune teller I saw a few years ago used)...

I see someone coming into your life, whose name starts with, or has an "S" or "C" sound in it. Could be first of last name. I see this person is in a job they don't like, but they have ambition to do something more. Maybe open a business to do with people, or serving people. Buying and selling things, or selling things to buy, or buying things to sell, maybe even making things to buy and sell, or buy, or sell, but not neither.

I see you doing something you love soon, in the next 6 months, but it could be 6 years or 6 decades. You are in a rough patch right now (otherwise you wouldn't be asking about the future, right?) but I see you getting out of that soon. Life will be bright.

Ummm, I think you should put $50 on the Patriots to win the Superbowl and you will find Jimmy Hoffa's body in the cement of the left corner of the building at 123 23rd Street in Manhattan (or wait, that's too specific...) Forget that, that was information for someone else.
