Thanks Ladytex. I guess "cutesy" is in the eye of the beholder.

Not cute and not smart. I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but if I were traveling to many foreign countries, I'd want to look as non-threatening as possible as to a) not draw negative attention to myself and b) not give people (like cab drivers) an instant bad impression. But I don't think Adam has the capacity to think about that. After all this the guy who said to Rebecca, "Don't call me baby again or you're dead meat." What is he? Ten years old? That's something a child would say.

Okay, I'm sure that this will make everyone just run out to the store immediately (btw, this is sarcasm), but it seems that our Victoria Fuller has been given the honor of appearing in the new Playboy Bunny video game recently released.

So does anyone know why the taxi cabs weren't picking them up on last nights episode?

Miz, I heard one of the other team members say something about it being rush hour when they were having trouble in the morning. Later in the day they didn't have that much trouble.

I wonder if the taxis were called on the phone for other people and were enroute to their pick-ups. What do you think? I haven't traveled in that area so I don't know about the taxis there.

And it seemed the taxis that did stop looked like normal cars with casually dressed cabbies, the ones that refused to take them were more official looking ones with uniformed drivers. The only exception to that was Kris and Jon's taxidriver, and he got lost. Maybe those drivers stick to travel between certain areas.

The funniest thing about Adam's hair is that in the morning, when he leaves the pitstop his hair is wet and the horns are all pointy, like a devil... by the end of the day they have dried and gone all fluffy and alienesque. I wonder which look he intends to have. And I wonder if he'll still have them at their CBS interviews after the race.

The picture at this link was taken a couple of weeks ago at Reichen's dinner party. It doesn't look like he still has his horns.

I thought they gave the explanation during the show - it was rush hour and the taxis were on other business. Is that Adam with Rebecca? Doesn't look much like him. And she sure is hanging on him for being "broken up". Hmmmm.... So, what's up with these two TAR 6 couples being there? Are they F2? Hmmmm....

Adam's little horns may look duffy but they got him this gig. It made him stand out to the producers, which let them take an extra few seconds to consider him, which eventually got him and Rebecca on the race. I'm pretty sure these people sign agreements to not majorly change their appearances between the interview process and the show. Like for Survivor, they don't want some sexy blond to shave off her hair a la GI Jane just before filming. So, if Adam had "the horns" during interview, he had to have them for filming. Personally, while I think they make him look wierd, it is just a form of self expression. Of all the forms of self expression, like tatoos, or nose rings, this one is pretty harmless - and temporary. And, it gave him a chance to play a game where the prize is a million bucks. So, I think he is the winner in all this. And, I think two guys with camera and sound equipment and possibly a chase car with similar equipment probably freak out the cab drivers way worse than an odd hairstyle.

Rebecca is friends with Reichen. That is also Hayden and Aaron, they are also friends. There is also Toni Ferrari from Paradise Hotel. She is the co-host of Reichen's weekly radio show on fishbowl. You can also read Reichen's account of his dinner party at the fishbowl.

I tried to check out Reichen's site, and got tweaked off and left. Just because you can do things on a Web site doesn't mean you should. The usability issues on that site were insane... including the multiple animations and the danged music that would NOT shut off! Had I been interested in purchasing Reichen products, they just lost a sale. I bailed out of that site so fast, you could hear the "whoosh!" Sorry... I'll step off my soapbox now.

Reichen’s site is very flashy (pardon the pun). The problem with using flash and music on a web site is that some people will love it and some will hate it. Another issue with Reichan’s music is that it is monotonously repetitive (considered a real absolute no no when designing a website). The pictures are interesting though. Obviously Rebecca is not totally offended by Adam’s presence.

Even the official TAR website is now annoying. One must enable pop ups to use the insider video clips box. Once pop ups are allowed, every time you hit the main page a promo for Phil's diaries starts. Phil just drones on and on, even if there is an insider clip playing as well. There is no mute or puase button to get Phil to shut up. I like Phil and all, but I don't need to hear the same commercial for the Insider clips over and over and over again. Especially when the only reason I ever enabled pop ups was for that very purpose. Personally I wish all non voluntary sound effects would cease on line. I stream radio all the time, so muting the sound is not really an option for me...

I have popups blocked on Firefox and Insider still works for me (although this week's clips seem to be missing). I also have it set up so that any Flash content does not automatically play (requires a mouse click). Makes for a much saner browsing experience.

Does anyone know where the teams who are eliminated stay untill the race is over? I assume they don't get sent home.

All teams that are eliminated are kept at a resort. One year it was in Spain. Taxi's in China are prehired and were probably on their way to pick up a client. Foreigners are not allowed to rent cars in China for short durations.
