Amazing Race 4/29 *Spoilers*
So sad that Kentucky went home. I was really hoping that they could have made up some time with the Fast Forward but they were just too far behind everyone else. I was hoping that Border Patrol would have taken just a little bit longer on the ginger task so they would go home.
I don't really care about any of the remaining teams, so I'm not sure who I want to win. Rachel and Dave have been doing great, but they really annoy me when they aren't winning because all they do it b*tch at one another.
I found it sad, but not surprising that Rachel from Big Brother couldn't get over herself enough to shave her head. "I paid $500 for these extensions!" "Vanessa said my nose was big and I'd look stupid with no hair too" "I know another girl did it on her saeson, but she was skinny and cute, I'm not!" Wah! It is so sad how little self esteem that girl has. And the petty banter back and forth with her and Vanessa at the mat was so juvenile and ridiculous. These women act like they're in Jr. High.

Re: Amazing Race 4/29 *Spoilers*
I was sad to see KY go home too. Honestly, I don't really want any of them to win at this point. I don't think any of them really understand the amazing opportunity they were given and they b!tch and whine all the time. KY at least appreciated the experience. I know it's a game but I just wish some of them had some common decency at times *RANT OVER*
I think I would've shaved my head, definitely. It grows back. Then again, my hair is already super short so I don't think I'd be that heartbroken. It would have been nice for BB to have gotten first because they may have stopped whining for a bit. I'm interested to see who it is comes in first but didn't finish the Road Block...
I'm not sure if I'd shave my head. I'd definitely consider it. I know I'd look terrible bald and I have better self esteem than Rachel. Also, I'd be greatly concerned about sunburn. But I might just say eff it and shave it.
Rachel does have terrible self esteem. The only think about her that's ugly is her attitude and sometimes personality. It's actually really sad that she has such low self esteem. I don't think Brendon helps, though.
Vanessa is a b!tch, and she has had a problem with Rachel from the beginning. I don't like Rachel, but I do feel sorry for her when Vanessa starts talking sh!t.
I LOLd at Border Patrol when they were imitating Dave and Rachel. It was pretty spot on.
Like everyone else, I don't give a rip about anyone left in the race. I'll definitely watch, though, to see who effs up in the last challenge.
I was SO SAD that KY went home.
They were the only team I liked. I was so hoping they would be able to make up time with the Fast Forward. I seriously dislike all of the teams who are left and I'm glad there is only one more ep because I don't think I could handle watching much more with no one to root for.
I would have shaved my head. It grows back, and I love rocking wigs anyway.
I want to punch Rachel in the face. I can't stand her.
I was so sad Kentucky went home. When they decided to do the fast forward, I thought for sure they'd pull ahead of the border patrol guys. I can somewhat understand Rachel not wanting to shave her head, but that's what the fast forward is all about- you take a chance and in this case, it didn't work out for them. Stop the crying!
At this point, I kind of hope the border patrol wins. They can be slightly arrogant, but at least they're somewhat tolerable and they seem like outside the race, they are decent guys
I was hoping so hard that Bobber and Mark would knock out the border patrol.
I really can't stand their arrogant whining and machismo. I wish they'd tell us just how close they got; like were they still a few hours behind, or were they only off by 15 minutes?
At this point I don't want any of the teams to win, because each one of them has at least one member is utterly awful. I'm actually leaning towards big brother, because even though she's hella whiney and annoying the guy is OK and she's at least not a psycho b?tch like Vanessa, an abusive assh?t like Dave, or d?ck like the BP.
I would never shave my head. I think that as a woman shaving your head is a completely different deal than for men. I liked the Kentucky team but am somewhat glad they went because they had been last twice. It would've seemed rigged if they were last twice and went on while a really good team (i.e, any team but Vanessa and Ralph) left.
Vanessa is like a witchy queen bee wannabe from junior high. Can't stand her. I actually hope Brendon and Rachel win despite their flaws. There's something about the blond Rachel that I don't like. I have only watched sporadically; I generally FF to the end just to see if the Big Brother team's still in because I watched that show last summer and thanked god that Rachel beat the odious Porsche.
If you put yourself in the position of being on The Amazing Race, knowing what kind of a show it is, then you need to be ready to shave your head. You just do. What if that had been a required task instead of optional?
After that, for the roadblock they had to go get the clue from a barber. My husband and I were both cracking up hoping that the barber would have to shave their heads anyway! Hahaha. Too bad.
Border Patrol guys imitating the married couple was awesome. Sometimes I think they (married couple) are so fast because they hate spending time together so much they are motivated to just get it over with.
