Jimmer, she likely does it in a public way to get the sponsors of the gifts to provide them. It's not likely for example for Ford to provide a new Explorer to give away "quietly". I'm glad a few others see what I have seen about the BQs. While I think they are having fun playing the game, there is a flavor about how they talk about others that is very similar to the kind of dissing of the competition that is often found at beauty pageants.

I had a few tears in my eyes when watching that youtube. It is a good thing when really nice people get something really nice, IMO.

Thanks for the "Bama Girls" explanation Mamabatsy. I've lived in several states and never heard the term but the sports rivalry would explain where it might have come from.

also the more celebrities promote generousity the more the viewers will be open to giving to others as well, in whatever way they can

Is there any reason to think that Mary and David asking that the Chos come along with them on the cruise Rosie gave them is an indication that the Chos didn't win either? I know they said it was because the Chos had helped them so much, but would they want to include them in their trip if the Chos had won the money? Gee... I hope that's not the case - I've been rooting for the Cho brothers all along. Go Godwin and Erwin!

What's wrong with being country? The men in my family pee off the porch just like everyone else.

I get the impression that the BQ's instigate things just to see if they can get a rise out of Alabama and having fun doing it. Just my opinion.

Ewwww! Sorry, NT. Around here, "peeing off the porch" could get you arrested.

Baby, I was joking. Or was I? Actually, living in the middle of town as I do, it would probably get you arrested here also. However, living in an old house with only one bathroom, my son has been known to run outside.

I love the BQs, and have from the get-go. They're smart, they have fun, they enjoy their surroundings, and I don't watch TAR to watch people make friends. I love watching how each individual and each team adjusts to the perils of the race. Sometimes what you see is great, and sometimes it's kinda ugly, but it's all honest. That's why I watch. And to be honest, I would have taken a non-smashed car, too.

I like the BQs too. I thought it was really funny and smart of them to take a non-smashed car. It may not have been the polite, nice thing to do, but it was smart. So far, I'm pulling for them to win.

I never would've thought to take a non-smashed car, but it was kind of funny.

I guess the reason I wasn't offended or pissed off about the BQs taking the non-smashed car is because I would have done the same thing. YOU GO GIRLS!!!

since taking a non-smashed car didn't give them an edge over the the others teams.....how is leaving the car they smashed for someone else a smart move?

Maybe its considered smart because it becomes a psychological warfare thing. Piss off the competition, and the competition focuses more on being pissed off than on focusing on the race. Of course, if the BQ's keep focusing on their glee over their ability to push the other racer's buttons, then they too stop focusing on the race!

I'm not saying they aren't a good TAR team. I just wouldn't want them for friends at this point in their lives because they don't seem like their values would mesh with mine. And the gloating. UGH. They see pretty focussed.. but I do think that when they go out of their way to piss off other racers it just might bite them in their collective butts later on if one of those teams perhaps has to make some choice, like.. oh.. a yield.. OR.. last show.. what if the Chos had been WAY behind Alabama and Kentucky? Just the fact that the BQ team had pissed off Alabama could have set them back too far. Didn't happen this time, but there is also the potential for yielding.

The point is that the BQ's did not know that taking the non-smashed car would not give them an edge. I think they were a bit concerned about whether the damage might lead to mechanical problems and wanted to play it safe by taking an undamaged vehicle. So in that sense, it was a good move and one that they earned the right to make by being the first team to arrive. It's all part of playing the game and not terribly malicious IMO.

I think that the BQ's have shown great loyalty and respect towards each other. If they treat all their friends like they have been treating each other, then yes, I would like to have them as my friends.

I'm with you Seamonkey! From what the BQ's have shown me about their personality's, I would not want to be friends with either. I have a feeling that I'm not going to start liking them anytime soon, but I'm not writing them off for good. Go Cho's!!!!

So who would we all rather have for friends ~ the BQ's or the Lyns? Hands down the BQ's for me.
