Because books.
She completely psyched herself out. I mean, I sympathize, since I have climbed back down the ladder from the high dive, but she just wound herself up past the point of no return.
I'm undecided how I feel about the Globetrotters. I like them a lot, and no one helped them with the briefcase, and part of me feels like, hey, it's not as if they changed the outcome, and it is a race. Then again, it seemed pretty clear she wasn't going to change her mind in those two minutes, so it was pointless to say those things.

I have no problem with the Globetrotters doing what they did- it was the adrenaline of the last minute reprieve, I think.
YAY Globetrotters! I am also relieved that Canaan did not actually shove his girlfriend down the slide.

if you have a paralyzing fear, why would you go on TAR?

I know my limitations. I could never do something like TAR you have to up high and there's no way I could do that.

It's true. I mean, unless your crippling fear is something pretty obscure, like ... fear of wallpaper paste, you're almost guaranteed to be in trouble.
My favorite team is the Globetrotters. For me, they're the most fun and have the most personality, although the father and son are pretty fun, too.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so far, the only thing I would have had a problem with in all the seasons of TAR is the rat temple in India. I could have done it though, I just would have been creeped out and holding my breath.
I don't have the physical strength to do some of the TAR challenges, so that's the real reason I'm not applying for the race. I also can't really do eating challenges. Not at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah -- I'm not sure if I could do that stuff or not, so I wouldn't put myself into the situation.

The one thing I would have a really hard time with would be weird foods. That could definitely be a deal-breaker for me.

Yeah I don't get people who are terrified of heights who go on Amazing Race and people who don't like the outdoors who go on Survivor.
