I have to admit that I'm curious to see how they do outside of Big Brother. They are smart and strong - but can they get along and not self-destruct.

Well judging from the preview, it doesn't look good for Brenchel. Rachel is crying and saying she can't hold it together under the pressure and Brendon is trying to calm her down. I used to think when I watched her on BB it was an act because her crying seems so phony and it does on the preview too but who knows?!

Hard to say though. Sometimes Rachel cries and says she can't do something and then kicks everyone's butt at it. She has big emotional swings. Plus the previews are often deceptive. But at this point nothing would surprise me.

I'm concerned that Brenchel is being featured so much in the promos. I hope it doesn't mean they leave early. Does anyone remember how it went with Romber or JeJo?

I don't know for sure but I think they're just trying to attract Big Brother and general reality fans by promoting the only recognizable players they have. Plus you know that Brenchal can always be counted on to provide "drama". They are golden preview material.

They did preview what turned out to be Ethan and Jenna's demise. I fear that featuring Brenchel as they have in the promos is deceptive and they will be around much longer. I don't want to hear her voice. HOWEVER, that said, I'd actually rather see the clowns leave or anyone not using their actual nanem but a description. And this early, anyone can redeem themself for me. But unless Brenchel got personality transplants or managed to resist saying stupid things like "get between me and my <anything>" no redemption. I think Brenchel has the potential to be a very strong team, but unlikely that they can remain likeable, as shown in some previews. I'm sure other teams would be happier in sequester without the two of them, though at least this time there will be no jury for them to flounce into. Yep, what Jimmer said.. golden preview material, for sure.

Miz, Rachel has been crying for four years, lol. When it comes down to it she is very competitive -- If she has to go across a desert on a camel and that camel is going to slow, she will get off and carry the damn thing.

Rachel had her first breakdown...it only took 2 episodes and she is pouting and crying, of course, Brendon apologized and all is good. They came in 4th., Rachel and Dave came in 1 st. again. The clowns came in last and were eliminated. If one of the guys from Kentucky hadn't help Rachel, who knows where they would be.

Brendon never disagrees with Rachel whenever she says "I'm not a smart as you."

Here is my recap of tonight's episode, filled with Rachel's ever-so-popular fake crying (with no tears!) Amazing Race Recap: “You Know I’m Not As Smart As You” http://sfurfaro.blogspot.com/2012/02/amazing-race-recap-im-not-as-smart-as.html

It was kind of anticlimatic I thought. The last four couples racing were the twins, the Jersey boys, Vanessa and Ralph and the clowns. The clowns were the only team of the four that got much air time tonight, so it was pretty clear they were going home on the last task. And they did. They were good spirited about it, however, and I liked them better this episode than the first one.

The clown pair were as gracious as anyone we have ever seen on being eliminated! I had not been at all impressed by them before, but their attitude and demeanor at the mat certainly made me rethink first impressions!

Rachel: "I'm sorry I'm not good at this. I'm sorry I'm just a girl." Can you believe it? Maybe she should join the Survivor girls team. How pathetic!

Auntiemike..I expect to see Brendon on Survivor next. Geesh, when does this guy study? It will take him 10 years to get his PHD. Rachel would never do Survivor..her sequins and make- up would last 10 minutes and she would quit.

While I am fine not seeing the clowns, somersaults or clown noses, or hearing clown references.. they certainly are a good supportive couple who have been through much with his two cancer battles and I hope they have a lovely vacation at elimination station. That bunching really helped some teams. Joey/Danny and Bopper/Mark were more than two hours later starting than the first teams.. Mark and Bopper did well and made that first bus too.. so they took a big jump forward. I'm sorry he helped Rachel, because I'm betting she wouldn't have helped him and I know Brendon wouldn't have helped. Joey/Danny got that advantage but then were on the ill fated second bus, so their 8th place wasn't too bad. Some of the early starters could have used an hour or two start .. Vanessa/Ralph and Elliot/Andrew lost a two hour lead on the last teams and then also got that bad luck bus #2. Brenchel seems to already have a rep for tagging along or copying. I think Rachel thought she could get the answer from the first two teams, but didn't, then Mark gave her the answer. Was hoping that Art/JJ would be in first after helping Rachel of Dave/Rachel.. And then the Brenchel meltdowns.. and Brendon actually thinking that while waiting for a cab he could just kiss her and make it all better.. gimme a break.. this isn't BB and you cannot just go to the hammock. Anyway, ok show, but not fond of bunching.. that was decreed of course when one of the tasks required sun.

Antiemike, rachel's " I'm just a girl" bothered me too. Also, I wondered how often those buses ran. They were gigantic! How close would they have arrived barring the difficulties two buses had.

Add me to those who cringed when Rachel said,"I'm just a girl." Auntiemike--Good reference, I agree she should join the girls on Survivor, not for the actual Survivor but for the parties afterward, I'm sure they would all be friends. I can't imagine an 18 hour bus/train/plane ride of any sort! How painful that must have been! Can't believe it took them 2 hours to clean up the glass and tape the window?!! When Rachel cried I didn't feel like it was real crying especially when I saw how angry she looked in the cab. I think she often masks her anger with pretend crying as it goes over better with Brendon and then she 'wins'. I missed seeing the first episode so I don't know what happened between Brenchel and the Border Agents and why they dislike them so much. From this episode I am not very fond of the Border Agents. I didn't mind the clowns, thought they were ok but again, I missed the first episode. I really felt for him trying to figure out the math problem. If you missed counting 1 cow, your 'average' would be totally off. Looks like next week Rachel is complaining about Vanessa.

I don't have a problem with Mark helping Rachel because he was having some difficulty too and it seemed that it worked to their advantage (I thought he was apologizing to his teammate because he missed something that apparently Rachel must have had). The first two teams worked together also and nobody seems to have a problem with that. I don't think the other Rachel was going to get the right answer anytime soon either. Not a fan of the border agents either...they seem awfully arrogant. Loved the one twin recognizing the soccer player and bumping the ball with him...and to me the other twin is the best looking guy on the race. Hope they stick around for a while. Kentucky boys were a lot more likeable this week, and a lot more competitive. I'm sick of the federal agents telling us that they are lying. They must be so boring that there isn't anything else to show.

There seems to be some bad blood with the Border Agents and the "Big Brother" team. They sure don't like Brendan and Rachel and I'm wondering if there is stuff we haven't seen. I guess, since I don't like Brendan and Rachel either, I don't mind the attitude of the Border Agents too much. Will have to see how it plays out. I did like the support and love the clowns had for each other. They were very gracious "losers" and played well.
