By the way, the teenager mentioned above with respect to Vanessa and Ralph is Ralph's daughter, not her's. But I agree...fine example you set of how to treat another woman with disrespect. Hope you don't talk about the teenager's mother like that.

Brenda, it was the FF that let them jump ahead to the Pit Stop.

Rachel told Brendon she wanted to leave the water mellon task to get away from Vanessa.

That was a lucky break for Brachel.

Rachel wasn't the only one gasping for breath by the time the couples reached the mat. Vanessa was having trouble running through the town too. I think heat and exhaustion and what looked to be an uphill climb took a lot out of the Racers.

To me, despite Rachel's histrionics, there is something very real about her. I could identify with all her frustrations, feelings of inadequacy, feeling of letting a partner down. It's all written on her face. She lets it all out while others have better self control. Self control has never been her strong suit.

Perhaps if this was my first itme seeing her it would annoy me more but I actually relate to how she reacts to certain situations. I find it honest and not for the cameras as a lot of others think. I don't think she can help herself.

Rachel is the classic personification of someone who wears their heart on their sleeve. She is who she is, she will bawl at the drop of a hat, she is needy, terribly insecure and having watched her and Brendon ad nauseum on Big Brother, I still want to tell her to kick him to the curb.

She is also very competitive and she never gives up, no matter what she will not give up. She will get back up again and that is why I think she and Brendon will go all the way.

Didn't Boston Rob and his wife skip a task and take the penalty in an earlier season? I think it had to do with eating something nasty. I don't remember them being eliminated during that leg of the race.

Yes, but the difference is that Rachel/Dave didn't complete *any* task (Roadblock and Detour) and did not get eliminated. In that episode of TAR7, Rob/Amber and other teams didn't finish the Roadblock but they still did the Detour.

People have not liked how Vanessa behaved towards Rachel. I can understand that. However, the comments that Brendan and Rachel made in the taxi regarding Vanessa did not make them sound very "pretty" either. They are all equally obnoxious in my mind.

Rachel can be very nasty especially against other women. She sees all women as threats and you can believe that before this race is over you will hear her say "nothing comes between me and my man"

Hummingbird, I think it was in Argentina and they had to eat a certain amount of meat. Not only did they take the penalty for not doing it, they convinced other teams to not do it as well, thereby guaranteeing the would not be in last place. I thought it was pretty savvy.

***I think I remembered it correctly

Oh, trust me, I don't think much of Rachel and Brendon in terms of interpersonal skills or level of nastiness. That doesn't excuse Vanessa but I do wonder what we didn't see that could have led to Vanessa hating on specifically Rachel.

But no love of Brechel mouth, either.

It's funny but I saw Rachel and Vanessa in a slightly different light.

Vanessa tried to block R/B watermelons somehow and it looked as though Rachel decided to "Cut their losses" and do the other task.

Vanessa was way over the line with her comments about Rachels' body.

We know that sometimes the regular people on the race, resent the winner of another show, and I would guess that Vanessa did.

It would be all I could do to not lash out at someone who was taunting me.
Maybe even sorta toss a watermelon...oops

We never get to see what leads up to some feeling like they do, as they insult someone.

Sure Rachel whines and we'll see it more next week, but nobody was a whiner like Flo.

If I could take Flo, I can take Rachel, but I would like to see what led up to Vanessa and her rant about Rachel.

The thing that annoys me about Rachael is that she plays the poor little picked on me just too much. Damn, Brandon is going to spend his life apologizing to that woman.

She is a strong, intelligent woman. She is a Phd candidate for heaven's sake. There is just no reason for her pulling the whining. The whole thing seemed a little fake this week, like she was trying to maintain her image from Big Brother.

I love Bopper and Mark. They seem to be having so much fun. That is the kind of players I enjoy watching. Nothing seems to faze them.

I am sorry we didn't get to see more of the twins - I was intrigued because they had taken such diffrent paths in life. That is not something I have seen happen before!

Was "the hair" the musician or the soccer player? And, yes, hot indeed!

The Joisey guys are from New York. Very few people in NJ speak that way. Mostly NY transplants in Northern NJ.

I see I made a mistake about Rachael being a Phd candidate. I read the subtext wrong under their name. I knew Brandon was but I thought Rachael was too until I saw the show tonight.
