Merrysea stated:
What Brendon said was that he is half-Mexican so he hates the border patrol.

I couldn't believe Brendon said that. Put him on the Mexican side of the border and leave him there to keep his hate on. He's supposed to be intelligent? Border patrol agents have died...it was the wrong thing to say. Please let him be booted before them.

I agree about the self-proclaimed Guidos. I wasn't a fan of the sister team but I was hoping they would beat them to the mat.

And no, why would anyone want to throw themselves out of an airplane...I don't even like flying in the things, must less jumping out of them...LOL!

Once again, the producers have ruined a show for me. I refuse to watch with those two "media hungry" people on TAR (and I was being polite saying "hungry").

Sadly, I've now written this show off for the rest of my life. If they want to continue to throw $$ at retread contestants, they can count me out.

(There was a TV Guide survey a few weeks back and the question had to do with whether or not you liked retreads and the overwhelming vote was NO! I did vote.)

Maybe the networks will get the idea that 'recycling' is only acceptable with used goods not used people. It seems as if TAR didn't get the message yet.

I love discovering NEW teams and don't particularly care to see B&B on my TV screen again. blech!

I've never watched the race before but B/R made me watch. I hope they win. I bet both Mexicans and border patrol agents get shot at and die. Sad really.

I went into this hoping Brendon and Rachel would be booted quickly so I could enjoy the rest of the season. Brendon's stupid comments about the Border patrol guys and Rachels sequence just confirmed that I don't want to see them any longer. But watching the show I really did not see anyone that I was rooting for... Really seems like a not so good cast of characters so far. Hopefully Brendon and Rachel get eliminated very soon and I might be able to enjoy the others.

Those of you ill-wishing Brachel had best wish them some bad cab karma, because SHE is smart and THEY are athletic and very competitive.

Do I like them? No -

Do I think they are good competitors? Yes -

Do I see them functioning well as a team? Remains to be seen -

Brendon and Rachel are outstanding competitors. Unless they have bad luck they won't be leaving anytime soon.

FWIW, they don't bother me at all. Not a big deal to me. :-)

For the most part, I find clowns to be downright creepy. However, the clowns on TAR are downright depressing.

Honestly, I think Rachel's emotional breakdowns, and Brendan's subsequent lectures - exacerbating the emotional breakdowns - will be their undoing.

TAR is not like BB, where you have long periods of time in between comps to debate feelings endlessly and recover emotionally. It's one after another, after another, on little sleep/rest.

Unless they've changed their patterns, I just don't see how they can be successful.

However, having said that, I don't mind seeing them on TAR. But repeats have never bothered me much before.

I don't want to watch Brendan and Rachel anymore. I was done with seeing them on my screen. Nothing person, just it's time to move along now.

Then, when Brendan said what he did about being half Mexican and hating the Border Patrol, that was it. Why in the heck does he live in the U.S. then? He should move back to his homeland. This country has allowed him a lot of opportunities but he wants to disparage those who are serving our country.

With Rachel what you see is what you get! She does not keep her emotions hidden. I adore her even when she is snarky.

Brendan is just nothing for me...I don't dislike him or like him. But since he is Rachel's baggage I will root for him too.

It's not about keeping your emotions hidden. It's that she reacts in a very inappropriate way, with crying and hating and then self-flagellation. It's an emotional over reaction to whatever is going on, and not very mature.

Then Brendan gets logical and critical with her about why she shouldn't be feeling/behaving that way, which makes her worse (NEVER address emotion with logic, you need to address emotional outbursts with empathy, ie, healthy emotion). She struggles to get him to understand, then agrees she's stupid, which is also unhealthy and so it goes on. It's a terribly unhealthy pattern, and will likely doom their relationship if it's not fixed.

After seeing Them in action in Big Brother, I don't see how Brendon and Rachel dont make it to the end. I would definitely not underestimate them, they are fierce competitors and She, more than anyone will do anything for the win. I can see her going to the final three, or even winning. Brendon is always condescending to her but in reality she is much smarter than he is and she can put everything aside to get the win.

I do think she is much smarter than he is, and better at competitions. I also think her emotions will throw her off in this competition, where the pace is so much more relentless.

We'll see.

Wow - They really picked FIT teams this time around and started them right off the bat with a bike trip to boot.

B&R weren't on enough for me to get upset last night and hopefully it will remain that way until they are gone.

Kar - I think a whole lot of Brandon's "lectures" are precipitated by the fact that he realizes - surprisingly enough - Rachel is smarter than he is and are his way of keeping "control" of the relationship.

I am hoping that the high level of activity and physicality will keep her de-stressed enough to control her emotions!
