That was Meredith and Gretchen. And wasn't SHE a piece of work!

I recall... Teri and Ian vs Flo and Zack -- I can't think of a season where I was more unhappy with the outcome. Both teams got on my last nerve (Except Zack, so I was glad he was on the winning team).

I'm a tad different. Couples that seem to talk harsh to each other don't bother me. That's their relationship and if it works for them...so be it. I'm not talking about ALL the confrontation couples...Jon/Victoria come to mind... What bothers me most is when teams treat other teams badly. There is absolutely no justification for rude and nasty behavior against fellow races. I'm not suggessting teams should help or not sabatouge each other , because this is a race and you do what you have too... Plenty of teams have been able to run the race without being nasty or resorting to mean comments...and have done well. Uchenna/Joyce's season comes to mind. I think being nice to others is a better indication of a person's character becaue its common for people in love to be nice to each other, so Rob and Amber's niceness to each other doesn't change my opinion of Rob. Rob was a bully both of his seasons on Survivor, and bullies do not change their tactics on a whim. I believe a lot of Rob's actions are on the cutting room floor.... I do like Amber...and hope one day she realizes she can do better...

OMG, yeah, Gretchen and Meredith. Good lord did that couple get on my last nerve. I'll have to wait till I can start watching the show to remember who Terry and Ian are. I agree with Kep... bickering amongst themselves is mostly OK, although I do like the couples who treat each other with respect. (And I do understand how the stress can cause cracks to appear between even the most even-tempered couples.) But treat others as you want them to treat you, OK? Don't go out of your way to cancel a taxi for another team, and then pout when you come in next to last on that leg (that karma thing, y'know?). Also, treat the locals with respect. Last season's negative couple (Lynn and someone?). The pushing aside of the guy waiting for a cab was just wrong and rude on so many levels. Bully. Yup, that's a good word. Maybe that's why I didn't like him on Survivor, and my opinion of him hasn't changed. I think a bully is always gonna be a bully, he's just gonna learn to hide it better.

MOjo..ITA, hated Amber in her year but loved watching her fall in love with Rob and really loved watching her wedding. She and Rob are perfect together

Haha. Remember when Ian told Terri to hurry up and she asked him did he want her pants to fall off on national tv and he said he didn't care, just hurry up? I couldn't stand them in their season, but I don't mind them now. I'm actually kind of liking them since it doesn't show him yelling at her every two seconds. Still love my BQ's and Danny and Oswald!

Meredith and Gretchen - ah, those were the days. That woman was so annoying! Remember the elephant ride? LOL My husband used to do impressions of her whining and bossing poor old Mer around. He still does on occasion. It's becoming an inside joke most people don't get.

Did NOT need to see Rob's moobs tonight on the show. Glad the couple that was last got eliminated. Her shrill voice was getting on my last nerve.

Ok - STUPID question...Obviously I'm not watching enough of the show but which one is Charla and which one is Mirna? I can't keep the two straight in my mind...regardless of who is who...they are driving me nuts! I think it's the sense of entitlement. I can handle Rob as I find him funny...I just think his and Amber's 15 minutes of fame ended a few years ago but they obviously have an appeal and bring in the ratings. The BQ's are growing on me. Didn't care all that much for them last year but was very impressed with their ability to get along with one another and with how they treated the locals in every country. The other teams could have learned a thing or two from them. Mary and Dave never really bothered me other than her shrill voice and always yelling at Dave...I thought they were sweet people but out of all the possible contestants for all stars - how they were picked will forever elude me! After all - who goes on a reality show/competition/race for mega dollars and wants to help others and expects others to help her? Sweet gesture but doesn't work! I really liked Uchena and Joyce during their season and it's such a shame their relationship is having difficulties. I don't know though that a reality show is the answer to the problem. The rest of the contestants are just names and faces to me. I can't get into this show this season.

Charla is the little person. I have almost no memories of Ian and Terri from their previous season. I'm amazed that I cannot remember them really and they came in second. Oh well...

Are the ratings up any? They started out lower than in previous seasons.

It won second place in the time slot on March 4 (6.3 rating/10 share overall). The previous week against the Oscars it was also in second place, however with a lower rating - 4.9 rating/ 7 share.

Kaylasmom, just think of Mirna saying "C'mon Charla" over and over again, and you will be able to keep them straight
