I admire Charla and wish her well, too bad she had to get paired with Mirna...every once in awhile Mirna does something nice and I think oh she isnt that bad and then BAM! next scene she is her usual self

Have to agree with many of you . . . most of the teams learned so much from having watched themselves the first time they were on TAR and I've really enjoyed them this time when I didn't the first time around. Mirna and Eric just aren't two of those people. My problem with Eric's anger at being yielded is that he has been calling people names for ever. It did not just begin with the yield this late in the game. He, like Mirna, just feels very entitiled in life and both live in delusional worlds about themselves. My respect for Charla grows everytime Mirna berates her ever so subtlely and she remains polite about it. Mirna is like the big sibling who bullies the smaller child.

Exactly. Getting upset with someone for not trying is one thing. However, it is physically impossible for Charla to drive a car without special equipment or ride a normal sized bicycle. Getting angry with or berating someone about something that is physically impossible for them to do is mean.

I thought Charla was going to get blown off that high walk...Mirna should have done that task. Also I cannot stand Mirna always telling Charls to go faster...am sure she is going as fast as she can.

I've been wondering if Charla's calmness in the fact of Mirna's belligerence is a learned trait. After years of dealing with Mirna, Charla learned it's easier to just shut up and not respond. Which, essentially, cuts Mirna off at the knees!

I think Mirna is really afraid of heights so they had agreed way ahead that Charla would do that sort of thing if possible. And really with Charla's low center of gravity she was probably better equipped than Mirna to be in that wind. Mirna isn't all that tall herself and very lightly built. The good news is Charla recently got married, so hopefully she won't have to listen to Mirna so much, or she will at least have a more supportive person around for her. And as Mirna said, Charla doesn't want to be handled with kid gloves.. I suspect that Charla mostly just tunes Mirna out. "lalala"

I thought about that, Charla's lower center of gravity. It's why high profile vehicles are pulled off the freeway, heading east, when we've got Santa Ana winds, but little sports cars can continue the climb thru the mountains.

Just had to pop in quickly since Costa was wondering and I forgot to update you on Monday... sorry for not being around on Sunday. This was my moving weekend and, not only did I end up getting home after the show started, the power cable on my cable modem is dead so I couldn't get online. I will definitely be back for this week's episode (and should be around for Survivor as well).

Raen! Glad (it appears that) you are up and communicating with us again! Hope the move went well! If Mirna recently got married, then she's not exercising her conjugal rights enough, cause honestly, maybe her 'tude would improve. You know, if she maybe "got some"? <evil grin>

I've always wondered what the other family members say to Mirna about her mouth and harsh words towards Charla... If they were my sisters/aunts/cousins and Mirna acted like that, we'd be having a family pow-wow as soon as they got home!

The volume at their family get togethers, if typical, is awesome. They berate each other, scream, argue and love with a fierce intensity.

Somebody married Mirna?? Unbelievable. After watching the show last week, I thought no one would every marry her. I wonder if she uses her different (dumbed down) accents on him when she wants him to do something, lol. She doesn't treat Charla nicely at all.

Charla was not with Mirna when one of the Chas told her about the deal with the BQs. And they did tell her the way it happened. she was on the tower. When Charla and Mirna were in the next taxi, Mirna was telling Charla about it but the way she told Carla was that the BQs talked the Chas into yeilding E/D by "offering" them money. She just had to twist it so that the BQs would look bad. Was I the only one who noticed this? No one else has mentioned it.

Nope, I noticed it. Just forgot about it. Yeah, it seemed Mirna told her own version of the yield. And then did the self-righteous bit.

Mirna lives in her own little rose-coloured world where she is infallible and everyone else is determined to sabotage her. After two races now, I just tune her out. I can't stand people like her.

One of my best friends sounds just like Mirna at times with the fake accents. LOL That's her personality and more often than not I find it very amusing, she also gets shrill when things aren't going her way but for some reason it doesn't even bother me. I guess I have become accustomed to it or something. Mamabatsy says it's the culture and I totally agree.

Allie, I noticed it also. Something else I also noticed, was the BQs conveniantly forgetting to tell Eric and Danelle that they were the ones who got to pick who D & O yielded. They told them that they said something along the lines of "Yield anyone but us." to D & O. *grins evily* I will be happy if it is D&O, the BQs, and M&C (mostly because of Charla) in the final 3. I cringe whenever E or D open their mouth. They make my skin crawl. Am I the only one who misses Joe and Bill? I couldn't stand them in season 1, but they actually grew on me this season.
