The first Roadblock is a Japanese game show called “Bring That Chicken Home.” The teams have to grab three chickens hanging from the ceiling to get their next clue. Art was the first to finish for his team. Brendon is second, followed by Rachel. Vanessa can’t do it and Ralph is willing to take the penalty. As a last ditch effort, he asks her to try again but is concerned of Vanessa’s sprain which is why he’d be OK with taking the penalty. But Vanessa tried again completed the task.

in my opnion, out of the 4 teams the most deserving is rachel and dave. although they won alot !
Really feel for Vanessa
🙁
To be honest, I really do feel sorry for Vanessa because she is trying hard. It’s kinda different from Mark and Bopper, but to be honest… I like Vanessa to trying hard to conquer fears and showing effort – despite arguing a lot with Ralph.
Hahaha Vanessa fall down and go boom!! I can’t ever forget how mean she was to Rachel. Regardless of the whining, it was cruell.
Vanessa is a bully… she acts the same way children in grade school do every day! I was really surprised to see a grown woman saying the things that she was saying.
Vanessa is a bitch but over all the years she is one of the hottest……sorry state of affairs if you’re fine people overlook if you’re a bitch.
