The White Collars look incredibly douchey... as does the coconut vendor.

Shannon Nutt

What the hell is a Barrel Racer?

And I wouldn't consider a law student "No Collar"

Will Sims II - YouTube Sensation...whom I've never heard of.

lwhy?

Barrel Racers compete in the rodeo circuit. They ride horses and race around three barrels and whoever finishes first wins a large pot. It's mainly a female rodeo sport.

Shannon Nutt

Ahh...I guess I should turn on ESPN 3 every now and again. Thanks!

I actually thought it might be some kind of white water rafting in a barrel.

Looks like the barrel racer is the hot chick this season. And the asian girl looks like she has Chun-Li thighs.

Vince Sly looks like he's got quite a rack on him.

Here's some highlights in case you're interested in finding out more.

Barrel Racers tend to be very attractive and there was actually a season of a reality show about Barrel Racers on A&E called Rodeo Girls.

And wtf is a hearing advocate? Do your senses really need someone to champion them?

Surprised that Team No Collar doesn't have 1-2 surfers. Thought that would be a given.

MysterioMan007

Max Dawson, with no job listed, is my pick to win it all...just because of the beard.

hdnmickey

Same goes for a Sailing Instructor. I think many figured the stunt would be pointless, and they were not wrong.

lwhy?

Whoops. I forgot to list that. He's a Media Consultant.

MysterioMan007

Oh, okay. He still has his beard, even if he is less mysterious.

My second pick is the hairdresser, just because of her two-toned hair.

Decker

Isn't a palm tree technichaly a coconut vendor?

Bill Needle

Wow, only half the cast lives in California.

Bill Needle

Eyesight? Let me go out on a limb here and announce: I'm in favor of it!

Decker

I once had a new patient in my private practice office who was deaf and had state insurance. She insisted that it was her right that I hire a signing translator to come to my office and translate for her every time she came to the office for an appointment and pay it for it myself even though it would have cost me like a hundred bucks or more every time she came in for an appointment (that doesn't cost her a penny thanks to Medicaid). Checking some websites, there are folks trying to convince deaf people of their "rights". In this case, I assured here that all I needed to do to accommodate her was write things back and forth which I was more than happy to do. I think we eventually got her to a large multi-specialty clinic who could provide her a translator.
I assume these are the sort of issues a Hearing Advocate takes on.

Josh-da-man

They're coconuts.

Shouldn't it be HER responsibility to bring a signing translator if she wants one?

Decker

I thought so. She thought it was a right guaranteed to her under the ADA. She was entitled to some sort of accommodations, but I felt that a pen and paper would suffice. She thought as a business owner it was my responsibility to hire a signing translator for her use at every office visit at my expense. Crazy, but I found websites that are advising the deaf of exactly that -- Don't bring your friend to translate, make the doctor hire a translator for you! It's complete bullshit if you ask me.

Kdogg

I'm not surprised she thought it was a "right." You should see the newish federal laws about swimming pools the public can use (hotels, community pools, etc.). It has cost businesses millions in unused equipment.

madcougar

Am I the only one who thinks it would be funny for team white collar to have a priest on it?
