There are probably lots of reasons why a F/F team hasn't won the race yet, but in my mind at least it's never been because of challenges where having a penis is necessary. I mean, even that Kynt guy could've hit that hammer hard enough. And while Vixen might have been able to as well, I'm still uneasy with the way this worked out. Also noticed the sly editors not actually showing us Brian hitting the hammer, possibly to hide their shame (too strong, but still) about the situation? Make it seem like hey, maybe Erika hit it?

May as well cut down to one F/F team, stock up on four M/M teams, and make all challenges male-oriented. Oh, and let's throw in challenges that test all of the females' fears while we're at it. I admit that this season is entertaining, but watching rigged competitions just isn't fun. and just wondering, but why should B/E be penalized for making a task harder for themselves? just doesn't make sense.

Tian/Jaree? Bowling Moms?

And to add comment to Dicktatorship's opinion - Chip, was easily as fat and out of shape as the bowling moms. Yet he still managed fine. Men are differently muscled. And that made the difference.

This, though I thought they should've been penalized for taking some random guy's bicycles. It's stretching the interpretation of the rules, I think.

The girls gave it a million percent, but just did not have the strength. Only the men did it. That episode left me uncomfortable. On the other hand, you just had to smile at the Globe Trotters.

I do remember them actually claiming that having a man for a teammate on that challenge was an advantage. Tian and Jaree were worthless.

I do remember them actually claiming that having a man for a teammate on that challenge was an advantage. Tian and Jaree were worthless. Wait, what? If anything, Tian/Jaree would be the more comparable example. A strength-based RB after the two physically weakest teams had burned their FFs which NO WOMAN HAD DONE BEFORE? To be fair, the Bowling Moms had a horribly structured elimination leg (random clue box, then two charter flights 30 minutes apart, essentially keeping Brandon/Nicole and Chip/Kim in 1st/2nd, then random Detour, then the ascender, then a fairly physical row to the pit stop) and elimination breathing down their necks. And had Tiffany/Maria done the golf from the start when the wind was less of a factor, they probably would've been 4th/5th. Last Edited By: oh ehm gee 11/01/09 08:35 PM. Edited 1 times.

Bowling Moms made enough good decisions throughout the race that their situation is entirely different. Last Edited By: Riliss 11/01/09 09:08 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 581 (11/01/09 09:14 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Yeah, they made terrible errors switching back and forth and back and forth. They should have stuck with the "golf" the first time. Meanwhile, I was pretty surprised that Maria couldn't muster up any more strength than a 90-year-old on her swings with the hammer. I know it was hard to ring the bell but she didn't look to be trying all that hard or, I guess, her upper body is just incredibly weak.
