Exactly Roxi - Chip & Kim got where they are with a lot of help from C&C then turn around and wham them with the Yield when in fact Chip & Kim didn't have to since the other two teams were itching to do it as well. They should have let someone else do it, that's all that I'm saying.

It didn't matter who did it - it's the very last yield of the race. It doesn't say something awful about their character that they are the ones who actually placed the picture on the board.

It's just my opinion, but I feel that it does matter since Colin & Christie helped out Chip & Kim quite a bit throughout the race. It's like a slap in the face. C&C would have been yielded regardless, it was just the fact that C&K did it to them that rubbed salt in the wound.

Didn't Chip offer help a few times to Colin? I know he gave a bit of help to some other teams (telling twins where something was,? also helped some team with the heavy cement blocks in Egypt??) Right?

You are right Julie, they did. Also, the helping that was going on between Colin/Christie and Kim/Chip was not all one sided.

C/C benefited also, (there is no such thing as a self less act and all that) and if I'm not mistaken it was Colin and Christie who ended the joint helping of each other when it was no longer beneficial to them to continue to help Chip and Kim. I believe they mentioned something about this is a game and they can't put friendship above winning.

Sure C/C helped C/K...but they also benefited...

But I think there's a difference between not helping another team (such as whispering information so other teams can't hear) and deliberately impeding their progress (which is how I see the Yield). .

Kep421: Oh I forgot...I saw a post of yours in the BB area but figured my message would get lost in there - you're in Olmsted Falls? I just got my hair cut there yesterday! Small world, isn't it? (That seems strange to say in the TAR thread, lol, since this show always reminds me that there's so much more to this not-really-small world!)

Chip and Kim could have run by the yield, directly to their jeep and let another team yield them. They did not. It is part of the game and they took responsibility because they arrived there first. Colin and Christy would have done the same thing if the situation were reversed. I have no doubt about that. It is a game and this is part of it.

Yep, the Yield is part of the game. I do not see it as impeding their progress. I see it as just a part of the game... And the rules are clearly stated as such.

And isn't the goal of each team to win? Chip and Kim thought it would help them win. They aren't there to help C/C win, neither is anyone else. They did what was best for themselves. As all the teams want to do this late in the game!

I may just not remember it but I can't recall when C/C did a lot of things to help Ch/Km but I do recall Ch/Km helping C/C. I'm sure there were instances of both so I don't think it makes either of them beholden because this isn't an 'alliance' game. If you help people, you have to expect at some point those people will lhave to do what's best for them.

In fact, just last week (err, talking Sept 4th week there) Ch/Km helped C/C by letting them know they had to go to a travel agent to get tickets when C/C were unsure about what they needed to do. Then C/C had no qualms about getting to the ticket booking office first at the airport and getting a better ticket than Ch/Km. I don't blame them for that but it's a small instance of Ch/Km helping them and then C/C still doing what's best for them.

So, in turn, I can't blame Chip/Kim for taking advantage of a game tool that would help them and give them an advantage.

Raen, I remember that well.

In all of these reality game shows most contestants lose track of the game aspect and make things personal. You would think by now they would get it.

I expect to see C/C exibiting childish behavior toward Chip and Kim next week.

Can it be that Colin has a sense of humor? I got such a laugh out of "my ox is broken!"

The question of them being together was answered. Apparently there were 4 Amazing Race couples at the Emmy's last night, 2 that were named were Myrna & Charla and Colin & Christie....Christie commented she didn't think so many people would recognize them.

Now as to the behavior of Colin....let's just say if CBS is cleaning up his editing in favor of them winning, then I really feel sorry for Christie. As one who got out of an abusive marriage, I see so many signs in Colin, there are times when I can't watch him.
My hope is that CBS would not show a lot of his tirades if indeed they are the winners. JMO

HippyT, I hope you don't mind that I borrow your picture. BUT, it brought back an issue I had at the time, that I meant to ask other's thoughts, from watching that episode. Mind you, that episode was BEFORE we got the full flavor/dose of Colin and his behavior.

ColinDonkey

Colin is a grown man. The donkey was not much larger, weight wise OR LEG HEIGHT than Colin. During that challenge, WHY was it necessary for Colin to JUMP (almost lunge) onto the donkey's back? Frankly, I rewound and rewatched that part to see if I was overreacting. But NO! Colin did his jump/lunge again for a second time when they had to return for more water.

It left me wondering if perhaps Colin was trying to inflict pain or maybe break the donkey's back. If you look at the height factor, it wasn't necessary - all Colin had to do was lift his leg & slip it over the donkey. There's no way ANYBODY can say "it's just all in the editing" either.

Small wonder he treats women so nasty-if he has such little regard for animals, IMHO. I don't give a rip for how 'competitive' he is, I truly hope he doesn't win this race!!!

The expression, my ox is broken did not send me into hysterics because that has been around for a long, long time. My cat is broken, my dog is broken, my husband is broken, etc. I think Colin had heard this so much that it rolled off his lips as something he has said before for other things or heard a lot.

The expression apparently has not wandered this far South, Fruitbat, as it was new to me -

Yes, and to others as well. No offense intended! I thought it was funny the first time I heard it too. Just some information to add to the question, is Colin naturally witty! :-) My guess is no and I used this example. He has not diplayed any levity in this game so far, other than this.
