The Amazing Race 20 Episode 10 Spoiler Review

The 10th leg of the race sees the racers head to a temple to receive their next clue, which contains a Fast Forward. Team Big Brother decided to go for it, after Rachel declared at the temple that this "wasn't necessarily" her religion. Like she's unsure?

And Team Big Brother ended up with the head shaving fast forward. (Insert evil cackle here.) Rachel whined about paying $500 for extensions. AND THEY LEFT! Holy wow.

At the Roadblock, a team make had to spin 40 feet of rope from coconut husks. That actually looks harder than it sounds. Team Big Brother showed up in 4th place at the Roadblock and everyone was aghast that they didn't go for the Fast Forward. Rachel told the camera that she needed the hair to be pretty because she has a big nose. This girl has some serious self esteem issues. Art and/or JJ noted that if Mark and Bopper decided to go for the Fast Forward, they could easily go from worst to first again.

Leaving the Roadblock, Vanessa took a giant header into the cement. She continued to gut it out on a twisted ankle.

Art and JJ tried to convince Rachel to shave her hair so that Mark and Bopper couldn't do the Fast Forward. Mark and Bopper started the race at 29 minutes after the hour, so I do not have high hopes that they survive this episode.

The Detour was a choice between decorating an elephant and shovelling manure, or process ginger. Mark and Bopper's speed bump involved painting a tiger on someone's torso.

Mark and Bopper decided to take a chance on the Fast Forward. I love these men so much, particularly considering half the team is already bald.

Rachel and Dave, Team America, came in first again. That's six. And Rachel pointed out they need one more to tie the record. Team Big Brother was second, despite the whole no-hair-shaving thing. Vanessa and Ralph were third. Vanessa and Rachel had a spat at the mat. It was both amusing and childish!

Mark and Bopper had their heads shaved for the Fast Forward. Well, one them did, and the other got polished.

Art and JJ finally finished packing ginger, and it was a race between them and Mark and Bopper to the finish.

Sadly, Art and JJ finished ahead of Mark and Bopper and were team number 4.

Mark and Bopper finished last and were eliminated. Sad face. And there's no reason to watch anymore.

Next week: The two-hour finale! And the first team to to make it across the finish line HAS TO GO BACK AND FINISH THE ROAD BLOCK!

Car camping in our Toyota Rav4

Image
My wife and I booked a tenting trip to Yellowstone National Park last summer. We had never been there before and were really excited to go, but weren't thrilled that we were sleeping in a tent in bear country. We are fundamentally too cheap to buy a camper trailer, and our Toyota Rav4 doesn't have a big enough engine to pull anything larger than a ladybug anyway, so our options were pretty limited. During a discussion of those limited options just weeks ahead of the Yellowstone trip, I Google'd "car camping Rav4" and discovered there's a whole sub-culture out there of people who have retrofitted their Rav4 vehicles to sleep in the back. We started devouring other people's blog posts and videos on the subject and quickly set about to lifehacking our car and our trip to suit our needs. So we did a live beta test in Yellowstone and slept in our vehicle. We loved it. Sleeping in our Rav4 was quiet and dry. We didn't have to worry about wildlife, and

Buff Pack Run Cap review (and bonus thoughts on Run Cap Pro)

Image
Buff Pack Run Cap in red (left), Buff Cap Pro (centre and right) Every once in a while, I remember I have a blog... And I've edited this post at the bottom. I've become a huge fan of the Buff Cap Pro, which is one of Buff's lesser known products (and one that I've never actually seen for retail sale anywhere). I took a flyer on ordering one from Buff's Canadian website last year and loved it so much I bought a second one on sale last month. The Cap Pro is a terrific little hat. It's like wearing a small Buff on your head, but with a little sun visor attached to the front. They can be totally crunched up and packed tight in a pocket, are pretty breathable, and keep the sun from roasting my increasingly balding head. While I wore a Tilley Hat for year and years, the Cap Pro has become my go-to vacation hat. It keeps the sun off my head and the sweat out of my eyes. And I can crumple it up and stick it in my pocket at restaurants and such. (Which is much

Travel blog: A glorious and triumphant return to Las Vegas

Image
Welcome, friends. It's been a while, huh? So, having survived this whole COVID ordeal for 2+ years, we decided to blow three years worth of travel budget in one summer. Which meant we had to return to Las Vegas. We started at a new place at Harrah's called Walk On's , which is a Cajun sports bar. I got the gator wrap, which was quite tasty. Gator basically tastes like chicken, so this was nothing mind blowing in terms of exotic flavours, but I'm not going to a Cajun place and ordering a hamburger - I want something weird enough. My wife got the shrimp Po Boy. We both enjoyed our food. We went back to Walk On's a couple of days later for breakfast, which for me was a pretty good chicken and waffles. It's hard to screw up chicken and waffles, and yet... I also had the most disappointing chicken and waffles I've ever eaten. Which was surprising because it came from Chef Marcus Samuelsson's Streetbird Fried Chicken at Resorts World, the newest big hotel/cas
