For those just tuning into The Amazing Hoop Race, our revolutionary new contest sending hula hoop teams of two on a virtual race around the world, here’s what you need to know: We started with 14 amazing teams and the race was explained and it began, sending everyone into a tailspin and to the airport. Those who figured out the clue landed in Porto Alegre, Brazil where three teams were eliminated. Now that are teams have had adequate rest at the pit stop for this leg of the race, we are moving on.

Looks like your Travel Points for this leg of the race will be in the form of a Detour. Remember, a Detour presents each team with a decision between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. Typically one task is less physically demanding, while the other requires some amount of time or thinking to complete. The decision about which task to attempt lies solely with the team. A team may choose to switch tasks. Once a team has completed a task and recorded a travelogue video documentation of it they can move on. Remember, travelogue videos do not need to be fancy.

Each team will post in the comments below which of the two detour options they would like to take on for this leg of the race and your choices are: MILD or WILD? Before you make up your mind, however, you probably want to know where you are going. So allow me to introduce you to a very special guest, someone who will be your hostess for this second leg of the race. Read the rest of this entry →
