I like the BQs as well. I just find it fascinating how people like certain teams but dislike other teams.

So far Ian and Terry seem to have developed a better respect for each other. Possibly seeing themselves and their actions/shrieking at each other the first time opened their eyes to how they look to others. I've yet to see that kind of interaction this season and they appear to be much more loving and kind to each other. Maybe these are pod people. Hmmmmmm.

OMG Charla and Mirna have got to go. I almost want to turn the channel when they are on. Their behaviour is annoying to say the least.

I love Rob and Amber!!! One of my favorite moments from their first TAR season was when he made the choice to take the penalty instead of eating all that food. Someone up-thread said how they loved how this team thinks outside the box...me to!! I think they are terrific racers.

Rob and Amber rock!!! they are the best players I have ever seen play this game. They never yell at each other.

I took his comments in a fun way. He was LOL that he was telling her to use her boobs and he said he was yelling things to Amber too but didnt think to tell her to use her boobs LOL

Jimmer, I think it has a lot to do with attitude. The reason why I didn't like Team Guido was the way they played, and the disrespect they showed others. I didn't like Terry and Ian because of their whining (and I seem to recall they thought they ought to get a free pass cause of their age and yet it really was just luck that they lasted as long as they did). I liked Uchenna and Joyce but I'm just disappointed that they are playing the same card again (yeah, OK, trying to get pregnant is difficult but at some point you've got to recognize there are other options). And Mary and David just rubbed me the wrong way. Her constant screeching, and the way that I felt the two of them couldn't think for themselves. I also think they played the hick card to the hilt; there were times when Mary showed she wasn't such a hick yet when it was convenient she totally played it.

The teams I've liked are the ones who treat each other with respect, who seem to have fun with each other, and who play hard but really do play fair. I also liked the teams who took time to stop and enjoy the race. I think Dustin and Kandice were two, and the two guys from Miami. Both teams seemed to have fun.

I find it interesting that some people like the BQs but dislike Rob and Amber, when IMO the two teams share so many of the same qualities. You see, I like both of those teams for what I though were pretty much the same reasons.

It's funny how people remember things differently. I didn't like Teri and Ian at all in the early part of their season but by the end, I was cheering for them to win it all. I think that Terri and Ian are excellent players and fully deserved to last as long as they did. I don't recall them thinking they deserved a pass for their age, though I think they are proud they are able to compete as well as they are at their age (and deservedly so). They started out rough at first (in their season) but they learned how to play the game as they went along. They are very tough competitors.

Weren't Terry and Ian the ones who wanted another team to help them, the other team said they would, but when they didn't, T/I got all persnickety?

Part of my dislike for R/A stems from the three other reality tv shows that they've been on. I never liked Rob at ALL in his first Survivor. Then to see him again on ALl Stars, and then to see him AGAIN on the one TAR for which *I* applied, and then to see him YET AGAIN on this season... Enough is enough, in my opinion.

I didn't like Rob at all on his first season of Survivor. I like Rob with Amber, mainly because I've always liked Amber so much and I think her personality and attitudes bring out Rob's better qualities.

I can understand your disappointment over R & A being asked to do TAR and taking a new team's place, but in All Stars, everyone is recycled.

I don't recall the incident that you mentioned regarding Teri and Ian.

I like the BQs because I enjoy watching tough competitive teammates that treat each other well and enjoy the experience.

I loved Rob during his original Survivor season. He and Sean cracked me up lol. Been a fan of his ever since. Amber bored me on her first season and All Stars. I started liking her on their wedding story.

Mocha's comments make me want to clarify what I said about Rob. While I didn't like what we saw of his personality on his first season of Survivor, I enjoyed watching him because I did find him entertaining.

Still don't remember it Costa but it's entirely possible. Where I first started to be impressed with Teri and Ian was when they were the only team to overcome the gas / diesel problem, when Ian crawled under the vehicle and drained the tank.

LOL Mocha! That is exactly what I am saying. I can enjoy watching someone and find them entertaining without necessarily liking them.

For example, I enjoyed "The Godfather" movies but I didn't particularly like the Godfather. As another example, that guy on Survivor with the "dead grandmother story" gave me one of the best laughs I've ever had watching the show.

However, once Rob hooked up with Amber I also started to like him more as he started to show more of his good side.

I like Rob and Amber. They don't whine like those other teams. They are competitive and are playing to win. Better than hearing Mary say "They passed me!! Those bad bad players!" lol

I agree that Ian showed a lot of know how in draining the tank...but didn't he drain it onto the ground instead of into a container? Let's go pollute somebody else's country, okay? (LOL)

He was always grouchy on his season and yelling at his poor wife - who then yelled back. They seem to have calmed down some this season. I just remember them running through the hilly streets of some town (it may have been when they got eliminated) and he was just screaming at her because she couldn't run anymore. Didn't leave me happy with him.

LOL. He was yelling, "Hump it Teri …. Hump it!" and one of the other teams commented, "What does he think she is – a camel?".

For some reason, their relationship doesn't appear abusive to me. It just seems the kind of relationship of two people who have been together a long time and know each other very well. Not what everyone would want but it works for them.

By the way, they were never eliminated. They came in second on their season (second to Flo and Zach – believe me I was cheering for Teri and Ian at the end!!!).

Er, OK, now maybe I'm confusing the requisite "older couple" on the race!
