A side note, does Poker Maria do ANY Roadblocks ever?
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'd need a handy spreadsheet of challenges to figure that out. Do they still have a 50-50 Roadblock rule?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I guess I'm alone in thinking the Globetrotters were over the line in taunting Mika. It was mean and unnecessary. Left a really bad taste in my mouth because up until that point I'd been crossing my fingers hard for them to catch up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Points to the Gay Bros for bringing a calculator and then actually sharing it.
Yeah, although I loved that it turned out they could just borrow one from the people there. Thank goodness there are some people on the race who could figure out how easy the calculation was, though.....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Not alone, Jess. It's somewhat mitigated for me, in that they didn't see the previous portion of freak out and how bad it got, but only slightly.

The trash talking (a common basketball custom) could easily have backfired on them, because a lot of people (me included) might have gone down the slide just to spite them.

That's true - they didn't see the worst of it.

Because books.
They also weren't *mean* as in calling her a chicken or whatever. They were just saying not to do it, which ... still struck me as a little unfair, but if anyone's behavior was really reprehensible, it was Caanan's.

Also, they were fighting to stay in the race. Had they trash talked just to stay in the middle of the pack, it would have come off different. But they knew they were in last and needed something to get ahead of the next team.

If the task was shooting baskets and they were trying to psyche out the competition, would that be okay? All they saw was a person in their way that was hesitating.
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.
I applied.
I'm terrifed of heights in certain situations, mostly when there is no barrier or tether. This has been a problem hiking, but I'm fine in a building. Something like the slide would be pretty scary (6 stories and almost vertical?), but since you are meant to go down it, I think I would be okay. But I really don't know.
Part of doing the race is challenging yourself. The one thing I told J I wasn't sure I could do is bungi jump.
I certainly put both fears on the application because I'm pretty sure it helps your chances of getting picked.
