During her second season of BB, Rachel said she wanted to have her nose fixed and her breasts reduced, but Brenden was against it - which in my opinion is very, very selfish of Brenden. If it is Rachel's money and she can afford it, and it will certainly improve her self-esteem, it should be none of Brenden's concern if Rachel has plastic surgery.

Personally, I think Rachel would look stunning if she had her nose fixed. But, that being said, I think it is totally inexcusable for anyone to hurl insults about someone's physical attributes.

I don't know if anyone remembers that Mark helped Rachael out when they were counting the cows, if he hadn't, Brenchel probably would have come in last. Hope Brendon remembered that and that is why he helped Kentucky this leg. Who doesn't like the country boys? I'm cheering for them every week.
When Rachael and Vanessa were fighting..Vanessa basically told Rachael that her actions prove she is insecure...she hit the nail on the head. We have said that a thousand times watching BB. Brendon constantly puts her down and she accepts it, then she cries, he feels sorry and apologizes and they kiss, do the dirty deed, and all is fine for the moment. What a wonderful couple they are.

Remember, from the first episode, Brendon was announcing that he didn't like JJ and Art because they were border patrol agents, so he's as guilty of pre-judging people as several others (Vanessa).

Those clips WERE quite helpful,esp the one where Mark and Bopper were being told what they should do. Not so sure MBopper team would use the double U turn, but if they tell their other allies then that could be used as a reason to U Turn the guys. And if a team wanted to U Turn just based on competition it is clear that Dave and Rachel, Art and JJ would be the prime targets, should they be available.

Rachel may want to target Vanessa and if that caused Vanessa to be Philiminated next, I could certainly accept that!!

I guess some people wonder how many reality shows one can do? This is at least the 4th for Rachel, and I'm thinking she has her eye on a wedding reality show as well. I don't have to like it and clearly their inclusion has polarized the viewers (with a bunch of help from Vanessa) and I'm sure the producers are delighted. In fact I'm sure that's why they had Phil comment on the dissention.. how better toget THEM to talk about it more as well?

Oddly, I didn't notice the trademark Phil eyebrow when he was commenting.

I think Rachel telling anyone to act their age is the pot calling the kettle black.. she is hardly mature in her actions much of the time. And just as JJ should not tell Kentucky team what to do.. so should Rachel refrain. But at least there was no girl fight or we might have seen red extensions flying about.

As for Rachel and Brendon on BB.. there was a lot of rudeness from both of them, as there was from Brendon last night.

I suspect UCLA Medicine would like their T Shirt back.

Lexie said: it is totally inexcusable for anyone to hurl insults about someone's physical attributes.

Just a bit off topic but as an obese child growing up in this society I find that the insults were pretty steady and hurtful when people made/make comments about an me being larger than most. Plus, they attribute all sorts of other attributes, ie. they are lazy, sloth-like, unmotivated, have no self-control, etc.

I'd venture to say it happens a lot. I've seen people with too large breasts, those who wear "glass bottle" glasses, those who have other physical infirmities, or those who behave different (because of some issue, ie. autism).

I still find Rachel unreprehensible and I'd love to see her gone too.

Grrrr...Brendon's comments about the girls not being FBI agents because they appeared to have more intellect just made me dislike him more! If he thinks teachers don't have as much intellect as doctors/nurses/FBI people, it just shows HIS lack of intelligence!

LOVING Bopper and Mark. I also enjoyed seeing the girls stop and watch the elephants when they knew they were last.

Vanessa's team and B/R can leave at any point and no tears will be shed in this house!

I am glad that Phil didn't pull one of those sad faces on Nary and Jamie as they stood on the mat.

I knew right away that it was a non-elimination round. He had a smile on his face the whole time he talked to him.

I had forgot about that Teach. Yeah, Brendan's implication that the ladies were too smart to be teachers. Sheesh! What a tool.

I too loved seeing the girls get out of the car to enjoy Africa and see the Elephants. What an amazing moment.

Rachel has self-esteem issues. Vanessa knows how to hit her below the belt.

Sooo sooo soo glad the FBI girls were not eliminated last night.

For sure. The only teams left that I like are Nary & Jamie and Mark & Bopper.

(After months of practice with BB, I can tolerate Rachel & Brendon)

the border agents are not going to be at next week's Reality Rally and they are from the city that the Rally is in.

I wonder if they aren't coming because they will be in NY for the early show. Does the early show have the eliminated couples on anymore?

good news is that one of the MBooper's will be there...cant remember which one

Mark and Bopper pretty much said in that clip from 2 pages ago that the Border Patrol wants them to stop "hanging out" with the people they're hanging out with. In other words, Brenchal and Mark & Bopper are on friendly terms.

Don't misunderstand me, I can't stand Brenchal and don't like the fact that they're on TAR but I also really don't like the bully Vanessa or the bully JJ.

I will root for the people who are acting like kind adults = Mark & Bopper and the "Teachers".

Pamy, The Early Show is no more. It ended in January and was replaced by a news show.

I would love to see Vanessa and JJ go!!! I want to secretly name them Team Va-JJ (and yes, I know that's Oprah's word for...) Their partners could hook up and be a team. Hahah! But JJ is proving to be such a bully (especially to Mark & Bopper) and he loves to stir things up. And then says they have to stay out of the drama, that's priceless! Vanessa is just so mean and rude. When Brendon apologized to the guy and she stuck her nose in it and said it wasn't good enough... ugh! I hate that the editing people left all those clips out - they were very enlightening!! Thanks to whoever shared them here.

I knew from the start that Nary and Jamie would be last. When Jamie was telling about being hurt in a shooting accident and how Nary took care of her I was telling my hubby - they are gone, the curse of the backstory. He didn't think I was right since they weren't behind until the end. I got this from reading Sean's Random Thoughts when he use to post his blog after the shows. It certainly was spot-on this time, even though it was a non-elimination.

....so, if Vanessa is the "bully" then Rachel is the perfect victim.

I haven't seen Vanessa "bully" anyone else. I think she has picked Rachel for a very specific reason...... Heck, if I found out I was on a show with Rachel I'd be really cautious around her and not want to interact with her either. She can be pretty annoying. She can sling insults and then runs off to whine or cry about it it it's thrown back at her.

On the other hand, Rachel has always been very loyal to the people who have been nice to her. If I was not a frontrunner I might tend to bond with her and Brendon simply because I know she would be willing to help somebody who helps her out.

Vanessa is a bully because she plays to Rachel's insecurities The watermelon incident where she was tormenting Rachel was the first I noticed. Just my opinion. This is supposed to be Amazing Race not a show about people's looks or clothing. Something we could do without and I'm sure Vanessa would not like her daughter being treated that way.

Vanessa doesn't have a daughter, Ralph does. Again, I say, if I was Ralph's ex I would limit the time Vanessa is allowed with my daughter.

In my eyes there is just about nothing Vanessa could do to redeem herself after that watermelon incident. That was just cruel and ugly. Rachel is immature and whiny and I don't particularly like her but she is being picked on and that's not nice.

Rachael always finds enough to whine and cry about, she doesn't need a mean girl to make it worse. All Vanessa has done is get sympathy for Rachel.

Roxip, I do agree with you about Rachel being very loyal. I have always said that I like Rachel when Brenden isn't around. Brenden seems to bring out the worst in her. Rachel was actually very pleasant to the other hamsters the second time Brenden was kicked out of BB last summer. She was always making up games for them to play to pass the time. She even made the comment that she's a much happier person when Brenden isn't around.
