buscemi 414 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 12-01-04, 05:53 PM (EST) "I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" Last night was what I would think of the classic example of when to use the Yield -- you are in second to last place w/out much of a lead on the last place team. Either they explicitly knew that only 1 team was still doing the roadblock, or they had a pretty good idea that they and the last place team were pretty far behind the other teams. So, why not use the roadblock to ensure that there's a good chance you don't finish last? Of course, it all worked out for them in the end, but if the other 2 teams had some more luck with the bales, they could have very easily been last.   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" I thought for sure that they would. I guess they were thinking that it would look a little foolish for a couple of hulking wrestlers to yield a team of AARP members.   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" hahaha, did you hear what they wrestlers said. It was something like: "We have not been yielded by anyone and no one has yielded us!" (difference?) Then walked off. Love these two. Comic relief for the race.   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" I think they thought there was no way in heck that the old folks would beat them to the finish line. It was a physical task followed by another 2 mile bike ride, and the old folks had already shown that they were physically exhausted. I think the odds were in the wrestlers' favor this time, and they may very well NEED that yield in the future. I did, however, think it was hilarious that Bolo got a CRAMP from COUNTING!

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" The racers HATE the Yield and would only use it in the most dire situation when there is no possible repurcussions. Team Steriod had to think that they would beat the OPs in any footrace or bike race and would want to be careful not to incur the wrath of the other teams cause once YOU use the Yield then anyone can and will turn around and drop one on you. That's why we didn't see it until the last leg. But let me take this visit to Bashers as an opportunity to bash the Yield. It sucks. It is useless pointless and really frickin annoying. The racers don't like it, it adds nothing to the show (except opportunities for bad grammar) and is not even a consistent part of the race. More fast forwards, less yields (i.e. none) - capiche?   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" Agree with you that it was not the best time to use the yield. I disagree about the yield. I think it can be very effective when used appropriately. It's why Chip and Kim ultimately won. |   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" Chip and Kim won because they were the last ones to get to the airport, so they found out about the delay that the other leading teams missed and they got the best flight into Dallas. Colin and Christie had moved back into the lead despite the yield and it did not get them eliminated, which would have been the only time it really would have made a difference.   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" LAST EDITED ON 12-02-04 AT 05:22 PM (EST) Chip and Kim won because they were the last ones to get to the airport, so they found out about the delay that the other leading teams missed and they got the best flight into Dallas. Colin and Christie had moved back into the lead despite the yield and it did not get them eliminated, which would have been the only time it really would have made a difference. I disagree once again. When Colin and Christie got the Yield, it really threw them off of their game, which is why Colin failed to double check times. He even admitted this. Chip and Kim couldn't have chosen a better time to use the Yield, and it worked, even though it didn't result directly in an elimination.   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" I think if the team using the yield does not need to show that they have yielded somebody, it will be better. So the team being yielded will never know who yielded them until the show air. The Amazing Race Fan from Hong Kong!   Top

"RE: I can't believe that the wrestlers didn't use the Yield" Just to be the devil's advocate, the Yield WAS at the hayfield. The wrestlers could, if they used their eyes, see another team still there. So figuring that the Don/MaryJean would be slower on a physical task, why use it?   Top

It's not like they *did* end up in last place in this leg anyway. Clearly, they made the right decision. If they had used it, they would have just wasted their Yield. Check out Jims' Random Thoughts. Some pretty deep stuff.   Top
