I'm not even the kind of person to bitch about rigging in reality shows (unless it is of the Grodner variety, in which case I feel it is justified) but I
definitely agree this detour was a bit wonky. The whole having to hit the target thing was incredibly random, because the other task was strength-based as well
and it usually seems detours try to have two options that will cater to teams with different strengths, etc. I love Brian and Ericka and they bring the lols so
I am glad that they didn't go, but I wish it didn't have to be at the expense of the Pokergoddesses. Eternal Maria/Tiffany love!

I was kind of hoping that Maria/Tiffany tired a bit longer the first time and maybe Brian would have hit it for them, I'm not sure if that would have been
against the rules though
Still usually the detours are one with strength and one with either mental ability or something involving skill. |

Well brian wouldnt have hit it for them since they knew they were fighting for last. But i was hoping the globetwatters would have. For sure the brothers
would have if they got there earlier to run into them.

I think what they should have done is asked for a help from the locals to pound on that shit. Remember what Zach did in Vietnam? They asked for the locals to
paddle for them to get across the river.

Ok. I hate them now because they give me no more reason to watch this season after Mika & Canaan left. I might get over this after I rewatch the episode.
But as for now, Maria/Tiffany<///33

Kelly and Christy VIBES were correct. (

I feel bad for them that both detour turned out to be physical. But I have a lot more respect for Tiffany than Maria. Maybe it's the editing, but from what
I can tell she did not try very hard. Her hits at the bell was quite pathetic, and her gold swings no matter. Tiffany actually got so close to the bell. Maria
just gave up.

Here's a link to Tiffany's blog where she explains how everything went down.
They DIDN'T quit. <3

One sentence: They aren't destined to win this thing.

Wow. Two strength based challenges for the detour. How incredibly fair to a F/F team. That was pure bullshit. Straight up.
The way they went out was so sad and heart-breaking. I'm so sad to see them go. And really pissed at the editors for making it look like they quit when in reality they agreed to take a penalty. That and making them look pathetic, when Tiffany had to be given extra clothes because the medical department feared that she was going to get hypothermia. Ugh. Bye Pokergoddesses. </3 They deserved so much better than this. |

Looking at the team lineups, with 3 M/M teams and the rest of the other teams having strong fit males capable of completing the physical tasks, it was
impossible for them to complete the more physical tasks. They were screwed with how physical the tasks in this season were (comparing to the previous say 3-4
seasons, this season was definitely more physical).

I at least was prepared for them not winning. Ever since they got that negative edit in the first episode and had to be saved in 2 different NELs I knew it
was only a matter of time before they got eliminated. Especially with so many alpha male teams around to compete against. Maybe they would've stood a
chance in 1 of the other seasons but definitely not this one.

It would have made more sense for the golf challenge to just have some additional time penalty for every shot over 24(8x3) it took you so everyone at least
could finish it. The longer they were out there, the more exhausted they got etc...so their chances of actually finishing it got lower and lower all the time.

I don't post on sucks ever but i came here to say that the detour couldn't be anymore unfair!
I doubt any ordinary girl(unless she does some physical sport or...pumps iron) would have been able to do hit that puck to the top. That fact alone makes this detour biased (that the girls were left w/o choice but to do the golf challenge). To make it even more unfair, the golf challenge was still strength based. Fuck ittttttttttt CBS should apologise to our PokerGoddesses, they cheated them a chance of getting the million dollars.
