As if there was any doubt who made the statement that would make up this week’s title, it was good old Rachel from Big Brother. Those promos showed her whining up a storm about how she spent $500 on hair extensions and didn’t want to shave her head. Hey, I totally get that. I wouldn’t want to shave my head even without pricey hair extensions. But Rachel just won a half million on Big Brother. Is $500 all that much to her? Honestly, she kept saying she’d use the whole half million or something on her wedding to Brendan. My guess is she’s probably already dropped more than $500 making sure there are rhinestones on the toilet paper in the bathroom stalls at her wedding reception. No clue why that’s a large amount of money for her all of a sudden, but whatever. You don’t want to shave your head? Just say so. Don’t make a ridiculous excuse about expensive hair extensions.

On to this week’s show. 10th leg and the finale is coming up … Continue reading →

Ninth leg of the Race already! Hard to believe we’re two months into the show already. We are getting close enough to the end to start contemplating who is in best shape to win this thing. I’m definitely thinking that it’s between Rachel and Dave and Art and JJ at this point. You never know with this show though. Especially after seeing JJ’s dancing skills on this episode. Another challenge like that may bring him down.

The teams are headed to India. Rachel and Dave seem to realize that they are officially in trouble with JJ and Art. And they are. Art and JJ are really pissed off. These two seem to be the type to hold a grudge. Rachel and Dave are definitely on their radar as targets. I guess that it’s getting near the end so the whole “Let’s help each other” friendships are pretty much out the window either way. Still, it’s definitely not good to become a target near the end with another U-turn in the future.

Anyway, it … Continue reading →

Getting closer to the end! Rachel and Dave, first again last week, are off first again. The racers are in Tanzania in Africa. Right off the bat, the border patrol guys are rattling on about how they are dying to use that U-turn on Rachel and Brendon. They apparently made a pact with Rachel and Dave (trying not to call her GF but it’s so annoying to be referring to more than one Rachel in one sentence). They’ve agreed to U-turn both Rachel and Brendon and Nary and Jamie. They are clearly looking to put that final nail in Nary and Jamie’s coffin, which have the extra task to deal with already this week. Smart strategy? I don’t really think so, myself. I would think the double U-turn is a great opportunity to try to get rid of one of the stronger teams. Nary and Jamie are not a stronger team. No way. Again, I would think it was preferable to be with weaker teams at the end of this thing, but that’s just me. … Continue reading →
