I was just coming into say something similar Karuuna....wow! we agree again!!! :-)

She fuels it ...and almost starts it by her comments. I agree, it's totally a mutual thing...he doesn't treat her any worse than she treats him...in fact last night I found myself thinking she was treating him worse.

How could Dave, a helicopter pilot, think that they would have to land a real helicopter!

That would be dangerous.

It could be simulated, right? didn't the teams in the last season have to land a plane (in a simulator)?

I think he even said something about it being a fake helicopter...I actually think if they had tried it they might have had time to beat the other team. Wouldn't that have been a hoot? He probably would have understood the aerodynamics of it quite easily.

My DS has one of those little helicopters, has for years, and he has yet to learn how to control it adequately. Mostly it's crashing into walls and people's heads...LOL

Vanessa is pissing me off. Why does she hate Rachel so much? Why does she have to insult her. She is so pretty and I would like that team if she would stop the unnecessary insults

Military hubby is sad to watch. I guess he has spent more time deployed than with his wife.
**my military hubby would never speak to me that way, he is a jewel..and super sexy :-)

Rachel and Dave are really awful to each other. I can't decide who's worse.

I look forward to hearing why Vanessa has a thing against Rachel. I can speculate that there might be many reasons, but I hope someone asks that in a post-boot/win interview.

Maybe she just gets on Vanessa's last nerve much as she does with so many of us? Her personality is just hard to take, and we don't know what goes on or how she behaves at rest stops.

Or maybe is as simple as she watched BB and how she behaved on that, and just can't stand her now.

My sister who does not know who Brenchel are said "Who is that girl who cries all the time? They should give her a broom and fly her into space, just get her off the show!" She wanted to know if they were like that on BB...I said worse, 24/7 nonstop.

Heck Pami, that tear was probably sweat from running back and forth to the salami place. My daughter can fake cry circles around Rachel -- real tears and all!

Coming in to speak in defense of the military husband - when you have been repeatedly in the position of having to make life and death decisions about others' lives as well as your own, you become accustomed to having your "orders" followed. That is how the military works -

I suspect he didn't have enough time to decompress - which sometimes takes YEARS after combat! - before undertaking an experience that requires cooperative planning.

Pamy, I love Sir Bill, but did you get him straight from battlefield deployment? I dealt with a Nam vet (Air Force paratrooper Captain) for some time after his return home. I wasn't mature enough to handle the challenge, and I was nearly 30!

Please don't be too quick to judge our military men and women, they have seen and lived in hells that you and I can only imagine, so that we DON'T have to see and live in them.

very true TNT..ty for reminding why he might act that way. I think you totally hit nail on the head.

Bill was training navy seals at a SERE school when we met...he did 3 deployments (2 after 9-11)...like I said I definetely got a jewel. I have only seen Bill really mad twice and I can be as pissy as Rachel LOL yep Bill is a saint!!!

I guess I am also inured to Rachel and Brendan. I do find Rachel and Dave more painful to watch.

my daughter can out fake cry rachel and anyone i've ever seen and 5 minutes later she's a total reverse. big crocodile tears and everything. took her dad 20 years to figure out she does it to get out of things she doesn't want to do and also to show how MEAN i am! i'm the world's meanest mother alive, don'tcha know??? he sees through her fake tears now. if only i had a dime for each drop that fell from those big grey eyes of hers.

I'm liking this season so far. Not crazy about all of them, but that's okay. I don't know about anyone else, but I have never been in a car that can find a parking spot and park itself perfectly. I think I would have a hard time not touching the wheel! I can't even use my cruise control in my car without constantly putting my foot on the gas pedal. Is that a sign of a control freak??

Yes, it is...LOL!

I think the military guy and his wife had said they were only married a short time before he was deployed and maybe only knew each other about a year (if I remember correctly, which given my memory these days...well, you know). Having said that, and understanding all these things about military deployments and all, I still find it painful to listen to the two of them. I can ignore Brendon and Rachel because I know how it is going to end up (Brendon apologizing, Rachel regaining her sanity for a short while), but watching the other Rachel and Dave is sad because they ARE married, because he has undoubtedly been through a lot, and because there doesn't seem to be a good solution for them. That's just my opinion. Perhaps instead of going on the Race they should have gone to a marriage counselor.

Dysfunction is dysfunction. I don't care which couple is dysfunctional, I just don't find it entertaining to watch either of the above mentioned couples. I agree about the married couple perhaps going to marriage counseling instead of doing TAR. And, Brendan and Rachael need a LOT of pre-marital counseling in my book.

Roxip they met 6 years ago were a couple 6 months after that and then married in 2009. :-) Both of them say in their bios that the one thing they hope to gain from the race is to better their communication skills. So I say ... hopefully that was the worst of it, and hopefully they get better.
