The Amazing Race 15

[srmom]

Like I said before - hasn't she ever watched the show?

She's deathly afraid of heights and water - why the heck did she go on the Amazing Race??? There are always challenges that involve either/or/ or both! I'd be mad if I were Caanan, but it was his choice to go on the race with her.

Have to say, she sounded like a 4 year old up there (floaties??) - majorly bugged me!! I am so glad the Globetrotters made it through, I like them. It also really bugged me when Caanan called out the Globetrotter, saying he thought he was a decent human being - uhh, it's a race, and your girlfriend is sitting at the top of the slide refusing to go down. That's not his fault. Glad she only had 2 minutes, but it makes me wonder how long she was up there before they got there and the clock started!!!

My husband said before the watch challlenge that he thought somebody might get tripped up, but I was worried when the Globetrotters got stuck. Good for them that they had the sense to borrow a calculator at the gold challenge, and that they knew how to do the calculations.

We both thought the poker players would know how to do the calculations, and it was nice working together with the guys who luckily had the calculator - seems like genius that they thought to buy that, who would have thought you'd need a calculator!!

Good episode!!!

Exactly - it also looked like the slide was over in about 3 seconds, so yeesh, what a baby. I remember TAR from one season ago, where they had to bungee jump (I think it was in Switzerland). Holy h*ll!!

The Globetrotters psyching her out through the negative talk ... well, that probably wasn't necessary as she had already talked herself out of doing it. I have to admit, I did experience a bit of "schaedenfreude" when they were talking to her, psyching her out and she was kvetching all the more.

I quite honestly would've done the same thing for $1M because her sudden bravado in taking the slide might have cost the guys a shot at a once in a lifetime opportunity. Caanan's calling Big Easy a piece of crap was ironic considering he just tried to force his girlfriend down a water slide she was petrified of. I think they'll come to a mutual decision to walk away because there's no way I'd be with a guy who tried to manhandle me down a waterslide. Frankly, if I were Caanan, I'd look at her everyday and remember that she cost me $1M.

Remember last season when the two sisters got stuck towards the end because the younger sister was afraid of water also? I remember being impressed that she ultimately sucked it up and faced her fears. Mika actually pi$$ed me off when she walked down the stairs instead of taking the slide. She just completely punked out on what thousands of people wish they had the opportunity to do. On the flip side: The Globetrotters weren't eliminated!

I love this show.

I was actually thinking that the Globetrotters talking trash to her like that would make her get pissed at them and go down the slide to spite them. That's probably how I would react. A sort of "f you, I'm doing this" reaction. But, that's the rebel in me I guess.

I have to admit, the second time I went into labor, I felt like Mika did at the top of that slide. The "Hell no, I'm not doing this again" thing kicked in, but I didn't have anyway out of it, so I survived it..lol.
