Just to clarify: According to Danny & Oswald on “The Finish Line” today, they did not sell their Yield, per se – they said that is “against the rules” – but they did sell their two-part promise to (1) not Yield the BQ’s, and (2) use their Yield on a team on Dustin & Kandice’s choosing. The BQ’s chose Eric & Danielle, not Danny & Oswald directly. They only agreed to honor the deal. I’m not making a judgement either way, here, just stating the facts as they were presented. MMV depending on whether you trust Danny & Oswald, or what. (FWIW, they did complain about Dustin & Kandice saying that it was D&O’s idea to Yield Eric & Danielle, when it was only their idea to sell the promise-of-the-Yield.)
I guess attractiveness is a matter of taste, but you usually don’t make it to the Miss America pagent by being ugly.
I don’t remember a lot of witchy remarks, to be honest. And as far as lying…
That’s right. And in any case, I don’t hold lying against any team…it’s all part of the game. Whatever you have to do to get ahead.
Um, what’s the difference?
Selling the Yield directly would mean that Dustin & Kandice used it themselves. I don’t see a way to police “yielding by proxy”, since it’s up to D&O to uphold their end of the deal. The producers are actually probably secretly thrilled that the racers came up with this idea on their own.
What Raygun99 said, I think. Had D&O sold their actual Yield, then D&K could have used it, which is Not Allowed. I guess. (Guess that clarification wasn’t all that clear, then …)
Perhaps the difference is that if the BQs had been eligible to use a Yield, but the Chas had gotten there first, they couldn’t have sold the yield to the BQs for them to use directly, but since the BQs weren’t eligible to use it, they could trade their promise to use it as requested? It’s splitting hairs pretty fine.
According to Papa Tiger, who lived on Guam for 11 years, to get to the Navy Base from Andersen AFB, you go out the gate and go straight until you get there. He still is scratching his head on how they managed to get lost. But the cabbie taking them the wrong way around the island would certainly explain a lot. It’s not like it’s easy to run up a big fare on an island that’s only 29 miles long!
Apaprently each team receives a “yield marker” at the beginning of the race, which they have to use when they use the yield. If you lose your yield marker? Too bad, you can’t yield anybody. (The Bowling Moms had lost their yield marker – turned it in with a bunch of old clues, and once production gets its hands on it, they don’t give it back – so their run to yield Colin & Christie was just to fool the other racers since they knew they couldn’t yield them even if they got to the yield mat first.) So Danny & Oswald couldn’t sell their physical yield marker to the BQs since they’d already used theirs; they could only sell their promise.
It’s easier to understand when you realize there’s a physical card involved in yielding someone (that we don’t see at home).
I was under the impression that the small “courtesy of” picture of the Yielding team was the “Yield card.”
