I guess he couldn't even make it to the PS before needing the IV (when I started watching last night I realized I never watched last week).

Here's the times the teams left:

Teams 1 through 4 - 6:53am to 7:32am
Kentucky - 10:38am

I think I thought it said 12:38 so that's where I got my 5 hours from but it was actually 3 hours and 45 mins. The show was almost half over when they finally showed Kentucky leaving.

Windom - The Apprentice finale is May 20th. Double Oh 7 - No, they're actually a week apart.
They're both Mark Burnett shows so they would never go head-to-head.

LB - Ahh my error on the finales of each show going head to head. The description I read of the
Celebrity Apprentice show for May 13 had me thinking it was the ending that night. Another hint that
it wasn't - should have been the scheduling as its only listed for two hours - the finales are three hours.

Although the Burnett shows are still going to head to head on May 13 - (second/third hours of Survivor
vs the whole two hours of Celebrity Apprentice) - its just that the head to head battle won't the finales
for each show - just one - Survivor. Still thanks for setting me straight. LB...

Too bad about Mark and Bopper, but they're almost certainly a shoo-in on another All Stars edition if they do one.

And what kind of fool talks about $500 hair extensions when a $1,000,000 is on the line. Jesus.

This game is Dave and Rachel's to lose.

And didn't Dave and Rachel get $20K just for winning that leg? Not that they would have known that in advance, but it's still -worthy.

I'm pretty sure she was more concerned with how she looked on TV compared to the $500.

For any Cougar Town fans, Bopper seems to me what Bobby's brother would be like.

In Rachel's defense, she and Brendon are getting married soon. I'm sure she would want to do that with her hair. She also makes her living (such that it is) based on her appearance. The BB gravy train will dry up soon; no sense in expediting it. Besides, I don't think any of the women on that show would have shaved their head. Neither one of the religious models wanted to do the first time they did this FF in season five.

Uchenna and Joyce didn't win the AR b/c she shaved her head. They won b/c they brought the plane back to the terminal.

Rachel has no defense. Rachel deserves no defense. Rachel is a petulant, self-indulgent child who deserves all of the scorn and mocking she is receiving.

Exactly. Kentucky started almost 5 hours behind and had a speed bump to boot. They were probably on the finish mat by the time Kentucky started.

Rachel knew her hair would not have grown back before she goes back for her third season of Big Brother this summer...

Just kidding.

You read it wrong. It was "2 hours before Departure from Pit Stop"

I think Bopper and Mark are shoe-ins for the next All-Stars race.

Not going to go back and look but you're probably right now that I think about it. It sure makes more sense than I did

It's funny how I thought Kentucky was annoying at the start but now I feel bad they're out of the race.

I would like her to dip her bald head in oil and rub it all over my body.

I can't really blame any woman for not wanting to go through this:



Heck, I had a hard go of it the first time I shaved my head and I'm an ugly dude to start with.

There's really no one left to root for but I'll watch just to finish out the season.

I just googled images of Rachel from her BB days, and she looked so much better back then. WTF happened to her??

While watching Survivor tonight, I noticed a commercial indicating Mark & Bopper will be on The Talk tomorrow afternoon on CBS. From the preview, it appears to be a show you couldn't pay me to watch on a normal basis, but I'm interested in catching those guys on there.

Watched The Talk & saw Mark & Bopper. Mark said that he was fired from his job during the race and found out when he got back. The Talk gave them $10k between them. Good interview.

And that's exhibit A for why reality shows are usually populated with bartenders, models, and such. Most people living paycheck to paycheck can't just up and walk away for a month without serious repercussions.

Enjoyable to see those guys continuing to ham it up, though that black lady who was one of the 2 doing the interview was nearly intolerable.

Did I hear correctly that Bopper's injury on the show was a cracked femur? I hadn't realized it was so severe.

I think that was the injury that he had prior to the show that acted up during the show, but I am not positive.

Anyone know what Mark was fired from? I read that he was a former state inspector on the CBS website, but I am assuming it isn't that, but not positive.
