I'm not reaching, sweetiecakes. I'm just throwing a thought out there. We have some who think one way, and some who think another way.

Now I'm going to go take that photo into the bathroom with me and we'll see how God places the blame.

More Brandon pics here:

It does seem a little funny that he's unwilling to take a shot of vodka but is willing to pose with a topless model.

When the racers went to New Zealand..it was kinda wild, when they had to go to Rotorua, I just about flipped. It is a city that is very close to where my relatives lives (Putaruru) When my mom went to NZ a few years ago, she went to this city too. I will have to contact my cousin in NZ and see if she knew anything about the AR5

One thing I've been curious about.....In past seasons, there was no FF in legs 12 and 13, because it would be too much of an advantage....but I'm wondering if they are going to keep the Yield in legs 12 and 13, as it's not much of one?

Well,I gotta say those last photos are pretty questionable. Hmmm,I wonder how he would defend them.

I think they said this season there were only two FFs, so there wouldn't be any more, Wilson.

No kitt, I meant the Yield. Would they do the yield in legs 12 and 13 (and they could, because no team has used it yet) because while it's an advantage, it's not a big advantage.

Not sure if anyone has seen this but, Chip was a actor in the 70's and 80's. Here's a link.........http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0563962/

I'm thinking they would, Wilson, as it's only an hour of delay. If the yield is placed early on in the game (I think it's unfair to put it near the end) the teams could quite easily make up an hour, particularly if some kind of long distance travel is required. I think I read the Yield is available in every leg of the race, but I don't know if it was an official thing I saw.

Wow, bean! I'm surprised we haven't heard that before. I wonder what he looked like then. In one of the shows he played a young Muhammad Ali.

Does the Yield really cause an hour of delay? I know Phil said "hourglass" but I didn't think that necessarily meant exactly one hour.

Yep, they have to wait in place for exactly one hour from when they reach the Yield sign. (If they've been selected to Yield by another team, of course, not normally!)

Apparently Christie and Nicole have met before the AR. I found this picture on another board.

Kitt, I know they have to wait at the Yield sign but how do you know they have to wait for exactly one hour? Phil only said "a predetermined amount of time" and "wait for the sand to run out". It just seemed like it would take less than an hour to run out. I'm not saying you're making it up -- just trying to know where you found this out. Thanks.

On the CBS website, it says:

"Each leg of the race has a YIELD point. Teams must stop at the YIELD location to do two things before continuing along the course: 1) They must check to see if they have been YIELDed by another team; 2) If no Team has been YIELDed, they must decide whether to use the YIELD or not. If a Team is YIELDed, they must turn over the hourglass and wait until all the sand runs out before they may continue with the race. A Team may use the YIELD to stop another Team only once throughout the entire course of the race. However, there is no limit to the number of times that a Team can be YIELDed by the other Teams."

Native, hourglass is an item, not a definite determination of the actual amount of time. There are hourglasses in board games that only last a minute but are still called hourglasses.

Interesting, Bean! I wonder how well they knew each other?

I don't know Djgirl. My memory says they've always said it's an hour's wait, but I might have just assumed it from the hourglass.

I believe that I had read, previously, that Christie and Nicole competed for Miss Texas USA at the same time. In fact, when Nicole won Miss Texas USA, Christie was a runner up.

Okay, I just went and looked that up at the Miss Texas USA website (sorry, I'm a first time poster and I odn't know how to do a link yet). Seems they were both Miss Texas TEEN USA at one point (4 years apart...2000 for Nicole and 1996 for Christie). Christie looked almost unrecognizable to me. Nicole was Miss Texas USA in 2003. Christie did not win Miss Texas USA, but I did read that she competed for it several years.

Kitt, what Phil has said all along in his voiceover is that the team has to turn the hourglass over and wait for the sand to run out. No actual time has ever been stated. I guess we'll find out this week just how long they have to wait, won't we?! :-)

It makes you wonder if they actively tried to recruit people at a pageant, it's a big coincidence otherwise. I'm surprised they haven't been helping each other, although a) I don't see Colin helping anyone, and b) I guess they've always competed even if they did become friends.

Djgirl, I've never heard of anything other than an hour's worth of sand in an hourglass, but then I ain't from round these parts. Something that occurred to me is that the "pre-determined" length of time may be different on different legs of the race, depending on the situation. It might be fairer that way. And if so, it wouldn't surprise me if they continue to be vague about it when it is actually used.

I agree Kit. I think they have several hour glasses with differing amounts of sand depending on the circumstance.

Phil's use of the phrase, predetermined amount of time, could also be designed to create suspense for both the teams and viewers when, in fact, it is a set amount of time.

CBS has delayed the TAR6 premiere to "late October".....some people speculate, because of the success this summer, they may hold it for a while, and if a show starts to fail, TAR can replace it.

No! Didn't they play this game with us before and that's why it took almost a year to get TAR5?!

Not happy .
