When they showed Mopper the first time a message crossed the screen saying 3 hr until they could leave.

They were a good 3 or 4 hours behind. they did show the times and Mark and Bopper left around 10:30. I think the other teams started around 6:30 or 7:30. I can't recall exactly.

You are right, Brenda. Mark and Bopper left at 10:36, the last team before them was 7:32.

I sure wish it would have been Art and JJ that left last night.

So it must have been a very short leg with very little travel time between the challenges and the pit stop.

I'm not sure about the hair thing...and my DD said NO WAY! Now if I had to have chemo and my hair started falling out I would shave it in an instant, but shaving it while television cameras are on me (and planning a wedding supposedly in the near future by the way?)...I sincerely doubt it.

What the heck is Vanessa's deal? If Rachel and Brendon didn't have enough wheelbarrows full of manure I'm sure that they wouldn't have gotten their clue. Did someone die and make her the accountability queen?

It did seem like there was little travel time. When that other team shaved their heads, I seem to recall they had to go pretty far out of their way to get there and were almost locked into doing the task or being Philiminated. It didn't seem like Brenchel lost much time at all, unfortunately, for their failure to do the task. I wish it had been an hour's drive away!

I have a question regarding extensions (since I don't need them). Aren't extensions kind of like glued or velcro'd (for lack of a better word) to your scalp?

Roxip, I also thought that if Brenchel hadn't completed the detour, they wouldn't have been given their clue.

I'm sooooooooo dying already for next Sunday's episode. I can't wait to see who comes in first and has to go back and finish the roadblock. I'm still not sure how they could have gotten a clue if they didn't complete the roadblock correctly (unless they took the wrong form of transportation).

Well to be fair... Vanessa did not bring up the wheelbarrow thing.. Phil did. She was grumbling while doing the task.. but didn't make it an issue. Then Phil brought it up.. and maybe she thought that at that point, as did I, that Phil brought it up because Brendon and Rachel did not have wheelbarrows. I thought Phil was in the wrong this time.

Lexi.. it has happened before. The team maybe is on the way to the roadblock and sees the next clue box.. or follows a team who has already completed the detour... But gosh ... this will be a REALLY bad leg to miss a task.

Yeah Bonbon, this is a "first" when it has happened on the final leg in the end city.

Some are clip-ins and some are actually sewn in. The hair is braided and the extensions are sewn in the braids (I believe). I just looked on Youtube and some are glued in too.

I know my hairdresser says when he is working on South Beach he charges upwards of $4,000.00 for extensions. Luckily I don't need extensions and I go to his house for my hair, thereby eliminating any overhead fees.

one can only hope to have a friendship like those kentucky men!

I totally agree - it's so special! love those guys.

I think Dave and Rachel will win, they have won most legs anyway. Art and JJ are babies and I wish Vanessa wasn't such a b*tch!!! Brendan and Rachel aren't my least fav but she won BB already so I am neutral today.

Well if extensions are clipped in or sewed on, how do you shave your head? Don't they have to be professionally removed?

I was surprised that Phil stirred the pot with Vanessa at the pit stop.. but I'm sure someone other than the teams was actually counting the number of wheelbarrow trips, but they sure didn't show it.

Jimmer, seemed like a short leg in terms of travel time.. with no bunching (only thanks to Dave's bribing the ferry boat guy to leave (of course we don't know if that was more editing or not), no hours of operation to let Mopper catch up.

I still think Rachel might have at least asked if she could keep the extensions after they shaved her head and I know with Joyce (?) they showed how they first cut off her long, REAL, grown out, braids before they did the actual shaving.

And if leaving behind hair was a requirement then half of Mopper didn't really have hair to contribute.

It would still be a difficult decision but it cost Brenchel what seemed like it would be a good head start next leg (which probably would be gobbled up waiting at an airport but you never know) and, as it turned out, $20,000 and also guarantee them final four (but I'm sure they all REALLY knew how far behind Mopper was, so that probably was not really a threat, even though production made it seem like they were.

And having to grow out hair could be freeing. I cannot tell you how many of my female patients who did lose hair and previously had long hair.. a couple had hair down to the waist prior to their treatment) who have told me that they had no plans to grow it long again.

As it turns out, it probably won't make any difference, except for the $20,000, since I assume they will be flying out of India and will bunch at the airport.

I am busy next Saturday and blissfully NOT busy on Sunday, but I still will wait and watch the finale at West Coast time and enjoy (hopefully) every minute.

I do think the clip showing Brenchel missing the train is not going to be a game changer, and the argument with Dave/Rachel.

Someone in F3 having to go back after hitting the mat sounds drastic, depending on how far away the task is. Sometimes there is a long drive/ride just before the final mat and sometimes just a run.. so we will see, but unless they were WAY ahead anyway, it seems like it could change the outcome.

Then I'll be missing the show until they run again and hoping for all new people.

Lexie, if Rachel's extensions are like what she had on BB, they are easy to take off. Remember Matt, Britney, and Ragan clipping them into their hair?

I was just thinking about when Phil said you are the first to arrive on the mat stuff that that could be on the first elimination, not the final leg declaring the winners. Unless he phrased it differently? Anyone remember what he said? Because that would make a difference on who I pick for my final three!

Yes.. the extensions Rachel had on BB were pretty quick to put on... She simply clipped them onto her hair. But I believe there are other types where you braid your hair in cornrows to your scalp.. then you put a net on your head and essentially sew the extensions through the net into the cornrows. (I just learned this by watching a youtube called "PerfectLocks.com Weave Human Hair Extension Install Demo" ...

From watching on TV, Rachels extensions must be "good" as I dont see any difference with her wearing them and when she was on BB without them. Seems like a lot to go through for no noticable difference... but whatever

Loremma.. I do't recall the phrasing exactly.. but it did seem that all the past racers were there with jaws dropped as Phil told the racers they had to go back.. Could be editing though.

I was thinking they had to leave their hair, and that was part of the issue Rachel had with her extensions?

At any rate, not surprised she didn't do it. I don't know if I would either. I remember being told once in my 20s "you're really unattractive without your hair", and I've never ever forgotten that moment.

Bonbonlover, Thanks for the info. I'll have to go back and see it and look for clues. They do like to throw you off on what's going to happen. I do remember the racers looking shocked at the finish line, but like you said, that could be editing.

The next leg of the race is in Osaka, Japan. When Phil told the team they were the first to arrive but failed a roadblock, besides being surrounded by past racers, Phil was on the beach. The final pit stop in Hawaii is on the eastern side of Oahu at a very remote beach.
