Ok Folks, tonight's TAR it might be wise to pull out the
Pepto-Bismol & barf bags, along with the popcorn!

I saw an advertisement of that bridge and I don't do heights either. The last couple of times I did the Space Needle Observation Deck I remember standing with arms outstretched & hugging the building. Thank heavens the visiting nieces grew up so they could take themselves - while I simply waved up to them from the ground!!!

"Tastes Like a Million Dollars"
A vegetarian racer struggles with a difficult decision when faced with a Norwegian delicacy, and Teams face their fears of heights during a gut-wrenching Roadblock on the next episode of The Amazing Race.

This would totally be me... I love heights. And I'm a vegetarian. When I applied a few years ago with a friend, we'd decided she would do all the icky food stuff and I'd do all the height stuff. (If we could pick who would do what.) She hates heights. I hate meat.

I recently realized, however, that there's no way I could do TAR cuz I'd have to check my luggage cuz I would have mousse in my bag that's over the allotted 3oz size! LOL!!! (Believe me, you do NOT want to see my hair without mousse!)

Fast Forward. Participate in Norwegian Christmas ritual. They have to eat an entire sheep's head.

They're taking gondolas to go up a mountain to get their clues.

Michael very nervous. Dad says he's glad he's not doing it. Gary doing it, too. They don't have to jump, they're shimmying down & have to climb up.

Doctors did it! They did fast forward & can go right to pit stop!!!

Hadn't thought of that, Costa, but you're so right! I hate all these weird eating challenges, and I don't for a minute believe that all Norwegians eat a sheep's head for Christmas.
