I Remember Rachel at one point in BB pouting and whining to Brendon and saying "I'm just a girl."

She pulled that same whine during TAR this season. She has such low self esteem. She and Brendan are totally dysfunctional in their relationship. It takes "work" just to watch them interact. Phew. I'm glad it's over!

Is Brendon really a physicist, or is he studying physics and got ahead of himself when he spoke. Rachel seems like the brainier of the two.

I think if you're well into your PhD research you can call yourself a physicist. He's now specialised in Molecular Imaging, so he's not just doing courses any more. But just because you're good at a particular area doesn't give you any other smarts - I agree in many ways Rachel is the smarter of the two.

Vanessa and Ralph split up after the Race: Digital Spy How has your relationship changed since being on the Race? Vanessa: "We're actually not together right now - we broke up." Ralph: "We haven't been together for a while now." Vanessa: "Since about a couple seconds after the plane landed!"

Oh, this was so lovely! I'm also putting it on the TAR thread because they will so appreciate it. Note: I posted it first in N&V, but I have no doubt we have seen this train in the past: Flash mob in the Copenhagen Metro. Copenhagen Phil playing Peer Gynt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gww9_S4PNV0&feature=youtu.be n April 2012 Copenhagen Phil (Sjællands Symfoniorkester) surprised the passengers in the Copenhagen Metro by playing Griegs Peer Gynt. The flash mob was created in collaboration with Radio Klassisk http://radioklassisk.dk/. All music was performed and recorded in the metro.

Vanessa is just not a nice person and she really doesn't care that she's not a nice person. That interview posted above put the nail in the coffin. Wow.

Couple of thoughts: Why didnt Art and JJ realize they were the first ones at the sled, there were not any tracks and the sled was at the top of the hill. Rachel(BB)'s foot touched the ground so they gave leeway to balance but yet the boys didnt test the boundary, why not?

not everyone was smiling. I'm prone to migraines and LOUD music in small rooms often is like a knife slicing thru my head. I would have been hollaring to STOP STOP omg noise pollution. guess i'm the only one who considered that an infringement on a person's right to #1 privacy and #2 low decible noises. BUT i'm here to talk amazing race. Finally got a chance to watch last Three hours of it on tape. THx to the AR gods that Brendan and rachel lived up to their "Follow the leader" and making obvious mistakes then blaming each other Type of gameplay. Rachel clearly read out the clue then they jumped in the van to look for helicopters. Those two really DO deserve each other But i still felt sorry for Rachel in almost every situation. I wanted the guys to win. BUT when i saw that Tiny sled and the fat guy trying to ride it, I knew the tiny girl had it won even with the delay in arrival. Sigh, it was tough to watch. OH and Dogdoc, brendan used to claim all kinds of stuff on Bigbrother and lecture others on "facts". However, many of us would be snickering in chat since Brendan was Almost always completely WRONG> That stupid comment while at Hiroshima is a good example. IF brendan truly had a grasp of how Radiation is used in medicine, he would never have made that Ridiculous comment. Even as we speak my aunt's lung cancer is shrinking thx to radiation treatment. my ONLY wish is to Never see Brendan or rachel on a TV show again.

Thanks Sun, I don't even remember what Brendan said. That is how much I listen to him. Also, I was surprised how Phil pronounced Hiroshima. HiroSHIMA instead of HiROSHima. He is usually very careful about correct pronunciation.

Dogdoc - I have heard it pronounced both ways for many years. Brits often have a different pronunciation for places than we do, so I suspect both are cceptable.}

http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=hiroshima and http://www.forvo.com/word/Hiroshima/ Very intersting And of course Phil is from New Zealand and Kiwi pronunciations are often quite different than ours (wherever we are). Also read a long explanation saying that words, even place names, are pronounced differently within Japan, depending on where the speaker is or is from.

I lived in Benicia. Some people pronounced it Ben-ee-sha and others said Ben-ish-a. Since it was the middle name of a Spanish woman, the correct pronunciation is probably Bay-NE-see-a, but I've never heard that one used.
