Like my Sis and I agreed, those bales were a heck of a lot smaller/lighter than hay bales the Ranchers here in the U.S. use.

ETA: It was probably less than one quarter of the size of what our rancher brother was feeding his cattle.

Color, I don't like anyone insulting someone's physical appearance. While it's one thing to get into a spat about the race, I consider it completely unacceptable to bring up someone's physical appearance.

Did we ever figure out why Vanessa is so vile to Rachel? Now, I've never been a Rachel fan and did not want to see her on this show this year, but Vanessa's treatment of her is so off-putting to me I'm starting to root for Rachel.

Gurlie, not really. But from reading the interviews from the eliminated racers, it would appear that no one liked Vanessa and they all seemed to like Rachel.

Vanessa was an Equal Opportunity Insulter.

That's why I was hoping Vanessa and Ralph would be eliminated last night. Also gets on my last nerve that they call each other "angel". ICK.

As for Joey.. I refuse to refer to him by any other name and hate that TAR either caved to that or actually thought it was a good idea.

Seamonkey, I received my TAR Season 3 DVDs this past week and started watching this weekend. It was the only season I haven't seen - I started watching it in Season 4. There is such a difference between the earlier races and now. I don't know iffin this will make sense, but the earlier races seemed so "pure" as the racers weren't as TV savvy as they are now. Now, some of the racers have a "gimmick."

I agree Lexie_girl. I hate when people get personal. Usually it's because they don't have a valid argument. When I saw Vanessa say that I thought what a bag! lol

Love her or hate her, Rachel is an extremely sensitive person (which to me is the sign of a good soul). If someone said to me what Vanessa says to her on the next episode, I would be on the floor in a fetal position bawling like a baby.

Joey's nickname annoyed me too. Didn't like seeing it or hearing Phil say it. I hope TAR doesn't do that again.

I thought Rachel and Dave would have completed that task faster if Dave had been doing the stacking. I guess it doesn't really matter much though because they got the FF and were 1st to the mat.

Looks like Vanessa is going back to being very nasty. Can't stand her! I was surprised she and Rachel were cordial to each other at the diving task.

Sea, LOL about Katniss! all crazy like that! :-)

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one annoyed by Joey's nickname, or CBS's caving into having it displayed on the screen like that. Now I don't feel like such a fickle beyatch after all! LOL.

So Bopper is the guy's real name on the other team? No comments about CBS caving into that one?

Well Supergranny, you too can have that color hair. It comes in a bottle and they sell it at CVS.

I thought Rachel and Dave would have completed that task faster if Dave had been doing the stacking.

I thought that at first too Happymom, but once Rachel had her based built, Dave was nearly tossing the bales in place. I don't think Rachel would have been able to lift, balance on the truck AND have that kind of tossing control.

I think it may have made the difference for them speed wise. I really felt for Rachel though. Bet she was one pooped racer that evening.

I couldn't tell the boys apart, so I just called them Team Jersey Shore.

SG, I most certainly wasn't a fan during Rachel's first season, but after Brenden got kicked out the second time in their second season, I really became a fan. However, regardless of how I feel about her, I don't like to see personal attacks even on people I don't like.

I just watched this episode at the library and totally missed Vanessa being nasty! Not that I doubt she was - I just didn't notice it!

TNT, in the preview, They show Rachel (of Brenchel) snarking, "how old ARE you, anyway?" (Vanessa being 31, Rachel being 27) and Vanessa says something to the effect of at least she looks younger and then snarks that Rachel should have work on her face before a boob job..

But we don't know what Vanessa said prior to that .. or what Rachel said before that.

When I heard that the fast forward involved stacking 150 hay bales, I was like "no freaking way is that a short-cut". Then I saw the hay bales. They were waaay smaller/lighter than what we have always used for our horses. Plus, with them being so heavy, the cord they use to bale ours WILL tear up my hands if I don't wear gloves. I was glad for Rachel's sake that she got to stack small bales, she would have died using the heavy ones.

I don't like red-haired Rachel, no matter how I try to, but she doesn't deserve Vanessa's nastiness. Too bad Vanessa didn't go home last night instead of Jersey.

Sea...Rachel says how old are you anyway...and goes on to tell her to grow up...so it's obvious to me vanessa said something prior to that.

I am pretty sure Rachel's comment included calling Vanessa 38, which is pretty catty also, and can be just as upsetting to a woman as saying they need a nose job over a boob job. I am not a fan of either woman, both drive me nuts for different reasons, Rachel for being a sniveling baby and Vanessa for just being angry and rude, even to her partner.
I suspect we will have to wait to see the full episode to see what starts this all.

Wow, just watched and cant believe what vanessa said to rachel!

this was a couple of weeks ago (i was reading a recap somewhere) and it made it sound like ralph and vanessa were no longer a couple, which after watching her this season it wouldn't surprise me.

Thanks all, for explaining why I didn't see what didn't happen on the show! I feel much better! Not that I can actually look forward to when it DOES happen!
