NFL Wives - A defense
I just wrote a long eloquent post that got eaten about why it's not what I would have done, but it wasn't SO bad a decision for the Wives to use the Fast-Forward. This will be shorter.
1) They've got it out of the way. That's one less decision they'll have to agonize over for the rest of the race.
2) Fast forwards are over-rated anyways. Lots of teams have gone for the FF only to find it gone, thus costing lots of time. Moreover, remember the Guidos, whose fast forward would have gotten them eliminated, but for the mother-daughter who flat out quit. And remember, there's no FF once it's down to 3 teams.
3) A couple of hours gain at this stage is probably pretty valuable. They're not leaving Europe for awhile, therefore no big airport catch-up opportunities.
3b) Because of what happened at the airport, they probably thought they needed to get their race-legs and regroup. Maybe they think they have a comparative advantage at figuring out the game and getting better as it goes on, thus they needed the "artificial" help now.
These points are all debatable, and again, it's not the choice I would have made, but it wasn't all that bad either.
