I understand the fear of heights. I like them myself, but I couldn't do that slide because of my vertigo...I get really sick coming down fast like that. It messes with my equilibrium. But for less than 100 feet and to cool off on such a hot day, I'd have risked being sick.

That said, my issue is that going on the race, people who have such a fear of heights should really be prepared to suck it up or have a partner who doesn't mind losing if you fail. Because you HAVE to know you're likely to deal with heights somewhere along the race route. You know it, and you still agree to do the race...then don't throw a fit when you're faced with the situation. You took a spot from someone who would've loved to do that task.

For all of Ericka's whining, at least she went down the slide. She cried and pissed and moaned, but she did it and moved on. I have respect for that. Mika...while I can appreciate and understand the fear of heights, I also feel like she knew what she was getting into when she signed up for the race. I'd have been pissed if she wasn't eliminated tonight after giving up like that.

Mika deserved to go home. Like Red I would have been very angry if she hadn't after that crap. I felt so bad for Canaan... and I thought his forgiveness at the end was very nice... but that girl had no business being on the show.

I'm enjoying the teams this season. Good play.

Very happy the Globetrotters are still in the race... would have been sad to see them go.

Mika was afraid of water. That's a little different since she was going into a pool. Personally, had Canannon not grabbed her and seemed like he was going to push her, she might have been able to do it. After he did that, she couldn't trust him. I don't really blame her for that.

I do blame her for knowing ahead of time she had these paralyzing fears and going on the race with in no way prepared to deal with them. She's very young, and that showed.

If you are in a situation like that, just think of how many years(decades?) you would have to work eight hours a day to make a million bucks. Would you rather do that or spend five seconds going down a water slide? Of course, I would not have had any trouble with the water slide, but I know something like the huge bungee jump off the dam early last season would have terrified me. I guarantee I would still do it. Thinking about the money would definitely help.

The 2 questions they should ask when you apply for the show is...

1) Can you swim??

2) Are you afraid of heights?

If you can't do any of them then you shouldn't be on the show......yes it made for good drama....but it was painful to watch her cry like a baby for such a simple task......and I am pretty sure I would have done the same thing as the Globes if faced with potential elimination....... grin

It was painful to watch her cry like that and I felt sorry for him because her fear caused them to potentially lose that money.......

If I were him....I would have run right up behind her when she was sitting at the top of the slide and pushed her down....and immediately followed...........that was his once chance to get her to go.....I would rather live with the anger from her for doing something like that than living with the fact we Lost the chance of $1 million for not doing it........it's something that you would think about in your head over and over......... shakehead

Why go on the show??

Glad that the Globes are still there...I would have probably freaked out at the top of the water slide too...but I would have made myself do it...I would have screamed like a baby the whole way down! I would be surprised if Mika & Canaan are still together at this point...yes, he did say that he forgives her etc. but that would take a lot of forgiveness...

I said to MrLurk jokingly that Mika should pray for God to give her the strength to overcome her fears... wink

I forgot to add, I was surprised that more teams DIDN'T have trouble with the briefcase...I'm not sure if I would have realized that the time was the combination...

I thought for sure more people would have had trouble with that.......

Good for the poker girls to handle that gold task really well.....it's amazing how many people couldn't figure out the exchange........ shakehead

At least Erika said...it's a sorry state when you can't figure out math without a calculator.... grin
