Thanks Lexie. The clips go by so fast I always have to rewatch it to see all the details.

you have to have SOME hair to have extensions, so like I said it could take her months to year to grow enough to even add them.

Im sure that factored in more than the 500 but thats what they showedd us

In one clip Rachel said something to the effect that she had to live with her big nose... she couldn't have a big nose and be bald. So I think it was her insecurities with her looks that was the driving factor.

I can't see Vanessa getting her head shaved.

Note to self: when running the Amazing Race and in India -- don't go for the Fast Forward!

I think many of us females would have a very hard time with the head shaving, plus having it on TV for the whole world to see how bad we looked afterward?! No thanks.

Note to future female contestants: Bring along a wig.

Joyce was really motivated to lose her hair because she and her husband wanted to win so they could continue fertility treatments. She and Uchenna were one of the nicest couples ever on the show.

Lots of AA women in this part of the country wear VERY short - 1/4 to 1/2 inch haircuts! If you have a nicely shaped head, why not!

Rachel has very poor self-exteem, so I really doubt she grew up as a pampered princess in her family -

From the extra clips, Vanessa apparently told Phil at the mat that she would have shaved her head. This helped fuel the animosity that they showed on TV.

There was another clip where Dave told the other Rachel that if it was them, he would have forced her to shave her head. I think he was mostly serious.

During their second season on BB, Rachel said she wanted to have her nose fixed and have her boobies reduced, and Brenden told her that he didn't want her to have any plastic surgery. That is exactly why I don't like Brenden. Who does he think he is to tell her what she can do to her body? I think Rachel would be much happier if she had her nose fixed and her boobies reduced. It would do wonders for her low self-esteem issues. I know my self-esteem went way up once I had my nose done. Now if I could just afford to have my real boobies reduced and lifted, I'd be on top of the world.

Brenden and Rachel would have finished first if she'd just gotten her head shaved. $20,000 would buy a lot of hair weaves.

That $500,000 she won last summer would buy a lot of hair weaves.

in the end she took a chance by not doing it and it paid off...they got 2nd and she has hair...they only lost out on 20,000 and i wouldnt shave my head for that amount

its such an unfair task anyway!!!! 90% of men would do in heartbeat while 90% of women wouldnt
*% were made up by me

What a pair of wonderful men! I am so disappointed for them. At the end I found myself holding my breath, hoping Art/JJ were getting the boot and keeping us Mopper. Dagnabbit!!!

Now to find Mark lost his job. I'm so sorry. But they were still graceful in that exit interview, no pityparty - just like they were throughout the race.

BTW, the only team Sis & I agree we want to root for anymore is Rachel & Dave since they've worked so hard on this race.

I think Dave is a bully and very condescending towards Rachel...although to be honest she does give it back to him, but he has made some incredibly degrading remarks to her...IMO.

Yes sure. I'm not much liking of Dave & Rachel, he's some control freak. Still, they're the only ones Sis & I can (kinda Rah! Rah! Rah!) root for. Bummer, bring back Mopper.

I just remembered that Art and JJ gave Bopper money.

I am going to root for them for that reason alone.

Go Art and JJ

I'm tired of two guys winning. Plus these two have appeared increasingly macho and egotistical and have been pushy and intimidating (though I did like them giving the money so I agree that is a plus).

I'm defaulting to cheering (feebly) for Rachel and Dave because they have clearly finished ahead over the course of the race.

All in all though I don't feel very strongly about who wins.

Unless you want to see Brenchel back for the TAR All-Stars, you better hope they win on Sunday!!!

Rachel and Dave are fine for the win because they have dominated the race.
While Art and JJ have shown some questionable moments, they did donate to team Kentucky showing their soft spots, so they would be fine for the win for me as well.
Vaness and Ralph have provided some moments of entertainment for me. Yes, they have. So, I'm fine with a win for them.

Brenchel -- well I'm just so tired of her whining on TV and overreaction and drama. I want them gone. I'll be very, very disappointed if they win.
