Didn't Lori and Bolo Yield Don and MJ. Although I must admit I breathed a huge sigh of relief when they didn't, but if I were ont he race I would have yielded them in a second. Huh

Probably because they figured they could out run them or out do them in any task in a heartbeat.

But that Roadblock was pure luck. They needed any lead in a luck game. ??

But when they got to the yield, they did not know the roadblock was a luck game.

True, true, but I would've done it to be safe anyways, especially if Lena and Kristy were there, they could give them a run for the money if they found the clues at the same time.

Becasue they could have been way behind, (but they kinda were) in a differnent leg... and could have yeilded someone way more anoying.. Like John and Vic. If i had the chance to either yeild someone when i was last or JOhn and Vic.. I'd pick to yeild john and Vic

I would LOVE to yield Jon/Vic! Can you imagine the wrath of Jon if they were yielded? SCARY! :uhoh:

Don/Mary Jean just aren't a big enough threat though.

The game is about working efficiently. Whether it deals with luck or strength, the efficient (and calm....:cough:Jonathan:cough:) usually do well.

Jonathan "attempted" to be the nice guy by asking Vic to slow down..........well, I'm still rooting for them.

I'm glad Lori and Bolo didn't used the Yield on Don and MJ.. They are one sweet couple.. Unlike Jonathan and Victoria (Of course the big problem is Jonathan!!!) But I think if they saw that it'd be just the two of them (L&B and D&MJ) who'd be battling for 8th place sure they would've used the yield... But still I'm so sorry for the girls.. They are one of the strongest all girls team I've ever seen..

Oh, believe me, I love Don and MJ, but I just found it illogical for them not to yield.

Okay you made me think twice.. Probably the reason the wrestlers didn't used the yield is that they took Phil's advice (Use it when it's most advantageous for you... which they think is during the later part of the race...) And at that time they felt sooooo confident that they will beat D&M and also the sisters.. (which they did!) I think they're too confident.. or cocky?! Like what Lena and Kristy said on their interview.. Lori and Bolo fought with them at the glacier camp.. and said: Wana fight with me?! (showing her muscles...) They're entertaining but sure their cockyness will hurt them in the future... (Just my opinion..)

I'm with Marjh on that one. I think they just took Phil's advice and believed they could beat them in a run or any physical task. Probably just did not believe it was most advantageous to use at the time being.
