Roxip, I agree. The U-turn should be used for strategic purposes, not for personal reasons or out of spite.

I know there are no rules that say that, but I think if you're racing for a million dollars, you should keep your eyes on the prize.

The only time you should use the U-turn is if you are in the 2nd to last place.

I cry when I get tired and overwhelmed..I think Rachel is doing really well considering they were all after them. Everyone who knows them in "real" time says that Rachel is so sweet and friendly. Even after all that trash talk from Vanessa Rachel tried to talk to her and Vanessa snapped the answer back at her. Then after that fiasco in the airport Rachel quit being nice.

I'm sick of Rachel whining on so many tasks "This is haaaaaard!" Her head would explode if she had to do some of the things past racers have had to do. Can you imagine if she had to shave her head like Joyce and Uchenna did? Or to unroll all those heavy hay bales to find the clue like some people did?

So do you think that Rachel and Brendon shouldn't have used the u-turn?

I'm a crier too. I don't whine though...LOL...or at least I don't admit to whining.

I definitely think Rachel and Brendon should have used it. It was strategic (even if it was also personal), because they had been U-turned. They didn't know how close Jamie and Nary were, and Vanessa and Ralph definitely would have beaten them had they not been U-turned.

ITA Merrysea - Brenchel had no choice but to use the u-turn.

I was impressed with Rachel and the bee challenge. She maintained her cool! Everyone is picking on her whining and crying, but some of the tasks she does very well!

Rachel whines and cries a lot but when the time comes she usually steps up and performs well.

It would have been absurd for Rachel & Dave to u-turn Brendon & Rachel. They wouldn't have been eliminated anyway and all they would end up with is a team that is more unhappy with them. Never u-turn someone unless it will actually benefit your game.

the border guy is as nasty as the women in exactly the same way. I don't care about any of the teams except the hillbillies

Yes, I'm also rooting for the hillbillies! They're pleasant to everyone and having such an exciting adventure. Many of these tasks are made for them unintentionally. Stuff, like the bikes, that they've done all their lives themselves. Good ol' boys wouldn't dream of taking their kid's bike to a bicycle repair shop - just hunker down and figure how to fix.

When one of them said he wished his daughter could be there to see the zebras with him - can you imagine what fun Mark/Bopper are having while watching these episodes now at home with their kids?

So glad that Mark & Bopper are my last favorite team left to root for! (miss the clowns)

I can't bring myself to wish Brenchel for the win but am totally on board for Mark and Bopper! I thoroughly enjoy their spirit and enthusiasm and gentlemanly ways. It is so much fun to see the world through their eyes.

I definitely want Mopper to win... but I could handle a Brenchal win.

as much as I didn't care for Rachel on BB... she has impressed me on AR.

The whinning is hard sometimes, but other teams do annoying things as well. I too like Rachel's "get it done" attitude...she doesn't expect Brendan to do all the tasks...

But my most favorite team is Mark and Bopper...bless their country boy hearts!!

My favorite is Mopper as well. Their love for each other is so nice to see. When Bopper was running with his hurt knee Mark didn't scream at him or say anything nasty, just encouraged him. That's what friends should do.

Brenchal doesn't bother me, even after seeing them on BB. The ones I can't stand are Ralph and Vanessa. She is just vile and he gives as good as he gets. That walk up the hill to the castle was just horrible they way they talked to each other. I can't imagine what they've said that we haven't seen.
