Amazing Race Moment
So last night on the Amazing Race, the team referred to as "The Christians" (a couple who are models and who are Christians) came to a point in the race where they could take a Fast Forward...an option you can use to speed past the competitors by doing a quicker task. They chose to use this option when they realized the brick making task took so long. They were in India and the only clue about the fast forward was that they would be participating in an Indian Good Luck ritual. When they arrived, they found out that the task was that both of them would have to shave their heads.
Knowing that my friend Heidi is an avid Amazing Race watcher, I immediately picked up the phone at commercial and exclaimed, "I would TOTALLY shave my head"! First of all, it's something I've thought would be a fun daring thing to do and that would be a great excuse, they were on a time crunch and it would have gotten them way ahead, and think of the stories..."I shaved my head in India while on Amazing Race". Even if I looked ridiculous, it would be worth it in my opinion.
But, alas, they fell back on the modeling excuse...they need their hair. Each also said they couldn't go through it because of their partner. In the end, they were last but it was a non-elimination night, so they didn't get the boot from the show.
Here's the thing I thought was most interesting...the Christians had to choose between Pride (their appearance) and Greed (the potential prize).
Any thoughts? Would you have shaved your head? Comments, please.
