featherfish81 391 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 02-28-13, 01:49 AM (EST) "TAR 22 Detours " Apparently I labeled last season's thread as TAR22 Detours as well, but this really is for Season 22. For those of you who are new, on this thread you can tell us which detour you would have chosen if you had been running the race, and why. Your choice - Pick a Pearl (dive for pearls) - or - Take a Trunk (set up a picnic underwater) While the picnic one looked fairly simple, I think I would have gone with the pearls, because it had the potential to get done much quicker, and I'm a tolerable swimmer.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

But if I had a partner who was terrified of the deep ocean, I'd have gone for Take a Trunk.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 22 Detours " My husband is an excellent swimmer (I'm competent but S-L-O-W), so we probably would have done fine with the Pearl task. Listening to the descriptions before anyone started, though, I thought the Trunk task sounded easier/faster, so that would have been my first choice.

"RE: TAR 22 Detours " Fish or drive cars Well, the driving one seemed more complicated and I'm not interested in speed, but fishing seemed totally up to chance, so I probably would have gone with driving anyway.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: TAR 22 Detours 3-10-13" I don't remember the names, but your choices: Haul sand from a river up the hill -or- Recreate a head decoration made from fruit I definitely would have gone with the fruit. I'm pretty detail oriented, and there's no way that hauling sand 200 yards uphill on your head would have been easier.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"TAR 22 Detours - Vietnam" Your choice - Make a Meal (get a bunch of ingredients and then cook) -or- Make a Move (match human chess pieces to a game board) Not much of a debate here - I would definitely have done make a move. Matching a couple of chess pieces looked pretty simple, much easier then trying to get a bunch of ingredients in a foreign language.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

kingfish 16088 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-22-13, 08:33 AM (EST) 10. "RE: TAR 22 Detours - Vietnam" Make a move sounded easier on paper, and I would have chosen that, but it turned out that despite the language barrier, making Phoo(sp?) actually was easier. There are a couple of details about the Make a move challenge that I still don't get. Frustration was evident when one of the racers asked one of the chess people to just go where they were supposed to go and she would just follow. Nice try.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Your choice: Fire - make fire from scratch -or- Fowl - make a trap and then pretend to be a bird and get caught Another easy choice - I would have done Fowl. Making fire is difficult when you don't know what you are doing, and making a trap looked much easier.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

featherfish81 391 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 04-06-13, 10:49 PM (EST) 13. "Botswana II" This time, your choice is between Brains - take a safari by horse and memorize the animal cutouts that you see -or- Brawn - load a cart and get some donkeys to haul it Well, brains would definitely be my strength on the race, so I would go with that. Especially since donkeys can be a little stubborn, and I'd rather depend on myself than on a donkey.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Belle Book 3556 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Thong Contest Judge" 04-07-13, 11:33 AM (EST) 14. "RE: Botswana II" On the one hand, I'd go with Brains since I have a great memory and as you noted, donkeys can be stubborn. On the other hand, Brawn seemed faster. I'd probably go with Brawn first and if I got some lemons for donkeys, I'd switch.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"Scotland" Your choice: Roll 8 barrels up a hill -or- Make and eat some haggis I know what's in haggis, so I probably would have picked the barrels. Though at least you only had to take a little of the haggis, not eat the whole thing.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Scotland" I'd have gone for haggis -- but I'd have asked for a glass of water before tasting the haggis. Rolling 8 barrels up a hill just seems a bit too hard for me, otherwise I would have gone for the barrels as I'm a very finicky eater.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
