The use of broken in terms of antimate ojects is around. I have heard it enough that Colin's use of it did not strike me as new. I also thought his chastising her for her comment about running them over was so typical of couple polarization. Usually one is the bad guy or rangey one. That is obviously, Colin. He got to shine as being the good guy once here. I think that does not happen often but I was amused by this dynamic.

LOL Fruitbat. This late in the day that post was pretty much over my head! I had to read it several times to understand it. Maybe I need more coffee...or less!

Just pick up a psych 101 book. Colin and Christy are in the third chapter.

Who, they've been showing some episodes twice in a week, check your tv listings just in case.

Oh, Who, I am so sorry. Surely someone here taped it? Maybe post on the BB board (which has many more active posters) asking if anyone taped BB & TAR together (then the mods won't snark at you). If I had taped it, I would gladly send it to you as it was indeed a precious gem of reality TV. In fact, I'm going to check out Kimmy's suggestion, cause I would love to see the whole thing again.

<I laughed when Christie was trying to explain to the jeepney driver how bad it was that someone "Yielded" them! As if she was expecting the driver to care!> ROFL Spear. That part was hysterical, too! I could only imagine what the driver was thinking or even trying to understand what she was talking about. LOL

This episode was the BEST EVER! I was up in my living room yelling throughout the episode. Wonderful editing--kept me hanging

I hope that the Yield doesn't come back to bite Chip and Kim. Every other team there wanted to do the same thing to Colin and Christie. Chip should have pulled a Big Brother move: Pretend to trip on a little rock or something and let Brandon have gotten to the Yield first and done it. (Kind of like throwing the HOH so that you don't have to nominate and make enemies!) LOL I am SO hoping that Colin and Christie don't make a comeback and win! That would be the most disappointment since that Zach and Flo..... or whatever her obnoxious name was won. I'm so happy that there is another race starts so soon though this year!

My friend and I started talking about last night's TAR at the gym this morning. We had to stop and put our weights down because we were LOL at the memory of "my ox is broken!" and Christie telling Colin he wasn't driving the ox correctly. He said he didn't know how, and she said "well, Learn!" lol, I know it was disrespectful and unhelpful, but it made us laugh...as if they had an ox-driving manual or something, lol. It was just so ridiculous. I wish I had taped it so I could watch it again!

Kc103, Chip didn't have to let Brandon beat him to the Yield. He and Kim could just have chosen not to use it. In fact, that's exactly what I think they should have done -- decline to use the Yield and let Brandon/Nicole or the Bowling Moms do the deed (they were ready to do it) and take the heat from Colin and Christie. By being first to the Yield, they were in no danger of the other teams changing their mind and using the Yield on Chip and Kim. Also, Chip and Kim would still have the option of using the Yield on the next leg (if it's available).

I'm bummed that it was a non-elimination round, because I wanted those two to GO. I said this in another thread already, but Colin might just mug someone to get the needed funds, I wouldn't put it past him! I hope it isn't a case of nice guys finish last next week.

It will probably be beneath Colin to beg for money. I'm sure he'll make Christie do it.

I know a team can only use the "yield" once, but can a team can be "yielded" only once? I thought that is what Phil said when the yield was introduced. If that is true Colin/Christie would be safe from being put up again. Personally, I would not mind if it could be used against them again.

Yes, a team can be yielded more than once. I'm hoping the other two teams (L/K, B/N) use the Yield on C/C as soon as they can. This episode was hysterical. Colin watching while Chip worked on the jeepney. Christie standing there and NOT helping while the ox went out of control. It wasn't a roadblock; I don't understand why she didn't help him. But it was hysterical watching the ox head off in the wrong direction! And oh yeah, Christie telling the jeepney driver about being yielded. Like he cares. I think those two definitely deserved the yield! This has been the best TAR season ever! Way too many hysterical moments and "sitting on the edge of my seat" moments.

Yes, that was a great episode. I'm glad C/C can get yeilded again.Colin and the ox were a classic. The poor ox kept looking back at Colin and then decided to run away. I like the way the teams get to experience life when in the countries.Colin and Christie were worse than usual in this episode.

IF (and I can only hope...) they keep yielding C/C, people might complain that it is unfair. BUT, I think it is all part of the game (like in Survivor or BB or?) that you shouldn't look too strong or threatening or you might get penalized... I think it is just part of the game. Now let's just hope!!!!

I bet there are no more yields. The next episode is the finale so whoever was yielded would come in last, most likely. I just dont think they would do that. There would be no chance to make up time as there is earlier on. That also means that C/C cannot get their revenge so Chip and Kim will not be yielded.

Fruit is right - there are no more yields this season - Chip and Kim said as much in one of their pitstop interviews I watched from the Insider video clips for this episode.

What was really stressful about using the Yield was that I had envisioned a team standing out in a field somewhere by themselves quietly biding their time while the sands went through the hourglass....but...the reality was...Colin and Christie were right there watching the whole time while Chip and Kim had to work with Colin and Christie glaring at them. Yikes!

Yeah, plus they got (what I think is an unfair advantage) of watching what was going on so they could do the challenge faster. Not that it mattered, they still came in last.

I was SOOOO happy that Chip and Kim came in first, I yelled "YES!!!!" at my TV. I hope they enjoy their vacation in Hawaii. And then when Colin and Christy were last, I was overjoyed--but then when Phil said it was non-elimination (even though I suspected it might be), my bubble burst. BUMMMMMERRRRR!!!!! I feel so used!

Are you sure there isn't a yield left? In previous finales the first 45mins to an hour has been like a normal episode, getting rid of team number four - wouldn't a Yield be available for that leg? I don't see why not. (I agree it wouldn't be on the last, three team leg.) Just for interest's sake, as we were talking about it last week - how long do you all think the Yield hourglass lasted? I think it must have been at least 45 minutes and possibly an hour.
