Ok, I'm off to catch on the non-happenings in the BB house. See everyone next week :-)

Great episode. I can't really blame Brandon and Nicole for not wanting to shave their heads. If they don't win the million it could effect their ability to earn money. I actually think Nicole is pretty enough to get away with the super short hair look - but she may not feel comfortable with making that decision so quickly. Brandon is definitely pretty enough - no mater how you cut his hair - LOL!!!

I loved how nearly every team was convinced they were out of the race but really weren't doing so bad.

I loved that they showed that the moms are human too and they can lose their temper and blow up.

I loved that it took the blond young twins about two seconds to make $200 by begging - heck they had more money then everybody else by the time they got to the water park - LOL!

Just a nice episode all around.

I did notice that they reintroduced the Yield - barely mentioned since the beginning. I expected someone to use it - since they didn't, I expect it will be used in the next episode. I think they've been there all along, but everyone is opting to not use it until later in the game.

Hey! like I said...For a chance at a million bucks, I think I might shave every inch of my body. But all in all...it was a good episode and I miss Charla.

You have to give Colin props when he said that he didn't want to win by using the yeild.

Shaving their heads in India as to do with the Hindu religion. As Christians, maybe they were not suppose to follow that tradition. Anyway, God gives us the opportunity to make choices. I think that they probably made the right decision for them. And they are still in the race!

How lucky were Brandon and Nicole! I totally didn't expect another non elimination round right after last weeks. I felt bad for them with the fast forward. That one was a bit harsh IMO. I knew they wouldn't do it. Anybody remember what Colin and Christy had to do for the FF when they got it? I don't remember... I don't remember it being that difficult?

I remember when Team Guido used the FF and thought that entitled them to relax for a day. They still ended up in last place. Boy, they new how to get people fired up.

I thought it was nice that B&N were prepared to accept defeat gracefully and were not bickering about loosing because she didn't want to shave her head. I don't need my hair to make money but I think I'd have a hard time shaving it off, especially with only a minute or two to make the decision. I'm glad they get another chance.

Once again C&K were so nice to everyone they met and it was so sweet that they consider the race the honeymoon they never had. I was so upset when they took off in the taxi and had to go back.

Well with all the hubbub over at the BB board...I didn't want to track it in over here. So as to keep things orderly over here...I nuked it.

I thought it was too...but I decided not going there was the best way. Besides, I'm the armchair quarterback equivalent when it comes to TAR.

Read Proverbs...I forget where that is exactly.

LOL agreeing about the downturn of lots of the bb threads - but about TAR...

B&N were graceful, but how the heck are they going to get money in Calcutta? I imagine that the first thing is get on a plane to somewhere, getting to the plane may be sticky...

And only one more non elimnation round, so that means 4 more episodes? Not that I can count whatsoever!! (5 teams, do they show it when there are only 2 teams, or with 3 teams? and one non elimination round...)

see once again, when we dont have Live Feeds 24/7 we are left to wonder about so much along the way, and we are not privy to any backstabbing (thinking early on) that gets smoothed over thru the passage of time...

not long till SURVIVOR!! Love reality tv!! *G

Chip and Kim still my favorites. I have never heard them talk down about any culture. They look at everything as a valuable experience and they can take the loss if they have to. I really want them to win.

Awesome job spoiling Raenstorm!!!! TY
I'm hyperventilating already and the show doesn't yet start for another 2 hours!

Someone asked, not sure who, what C/C had to do for the 1st FF:

Ep 5 in Cairo: In this Fast Forward, Teams had to make their way to the Pharaonic Village. Once there, they needed to find a sarcophagus and transport it by ferry to a temple and deliver it to the priest inside to receive the Fast Forward reward.

Okay, I'll admit C/C are good at this race, but I STILL don't want them to win. To be honest, I'll be disappointed to see B/N win too. Both teams, IMO, display such poor teamwork and childish tantrums.

Yankee_in_ca posted over on the TAR Genl Disc: General everything and anything Thread:

Amazing Race 5 finale is on Tuesday, September 21 -- and Amazing Race 6 premieres that same week, on Saturday, September 25.
TY Yankee!

WOOO00 HOOOOO! oPPS Looks like they won't make us wait so long for the next race. It seems like only about a month ago they were soliciting for teams so this must be a pretty fast turnaround. TAR has never failed to delight us yet!

This is my first TAR [thanks to Allison and Donny - then I got hooked, esp after they lost!] and I'm excited now to find out I won't have to wait as long for my 2nd!

GO CHIP & KIM, and if not go bowling moms!

Reader, In past seasons the final episode always has had three teams racing for the finish.

Great show. Go Chip and Kim!

Did anyone else notice that the brickyard boss seemed to not require the twins bricks to be as good as the others. Wonder if he was impressed by them or if he was just tired of the whole thing by then/

Someone asked about B&N not having money for airline tickets, I'm pretty sure that their airline tickets are paid for by the show, that is the only thing that they don't have to pay for out of their money.

I just love AR. I find myself watching the clock during every episode, not bored, but getting sadder and sadder that the time is passing too quickly. I could easilly watch 2 hour episodes or 3 episodes per week.

I really like all of the people except the big C.
I'm in the majority for once, I think, I just really admire Chip and Kim and really hope they win.

You're welcome, Biscotiii.

Some random thoughts: The idea of the twins using their "sex appeal" in Dubai? Oh my.

And while the bowling moms' taxi driver may have been scamming them, he never said 41 dollars -- he always said dinar.

And even if my hair was down to my behind, I would have shaved it off. I'm competitive that way.

I do think Brandon is a decent, kind person, though. Not sure I'm feeling any Nicole love, though. Chip and Kim remain my faves.
