Maybe he learned a lesson from that episode. Not to think he always knows best because he is "the man." LOL

We all say things we shouldn't out of frustration and stress, no?

Okay, then maybe I am mixing it up a bit. There was one male female couple who very quickly decided that the man was not going to be able to figure out how to tie the furniture, and they very quickly traded places, and the woman came down and tied and hoisted, except for the last piece. I think she tied it but made the man come down and hoist it. I think that might have been Kynt and Vyksin. So then TK tried for a very long time? And Rachel was trying to give directions from up above, and he just didn't get it? And finally, maybe after some other people had come and gone, she came down and tied and hoisted all five? I think that might have been the scenario because first I was impressed with Vyksin hoisting four, and then that tiny woman came down and hoisted all five. And THAT is why they deserved to win! Does that scenario play better? LOL.

I think your "revised" version is correct, Juju!

LOL, TnT. I can "spin" a few more versions if need be.

Jimmer and Mocha, thanks for reading. I don't feel as much an alien if I share the differences. Does that make sense? Kitt, I feel TK some how lets Rach know that, she's on the right track, but not as good as he is yet. Is that any where close to what you're saying?

Kind of, Chy, I feel that his pointing out her perceived faults and telling her he believes she can do better actually increases the likelihood that she will believe she's not good enough, when in fact she's absolutely fine as she is.

Kitt, when I was married to my first ("starter") husband, we'd be getting ready to go somewhere and I'd ask him, "What do you think I should wear?" He'd dismiss me with, "I don't care what you wear!" Then when I'd come out ready to go, he'd say, "Is that what you're wearing?!" Talk about passive/agressive!!! Thank goodness I have a nice DH now!

Well, now that we've done such an excellent job of analyzing TK's character through what is undoubtedly hours of footage crammed into a few brief moments, here's my take...they are young people. They haven't really been dating that long. They are still working on the parameters of their relationship, finding out what is working for them and what isn't. TK seems to respect Rachel...there were many times in the Race where he let her take the lead on something, and she seems to respect him. They seem happy together in their sort of boho way. I'm happy they won. And that's about as analytical as I care to get about people on a reality show...LOL! They didn't yell, scream or cuss at one another...they handled the stress of the race until the very end about as well as any team I've ever seen (with the exception of TK on the last leg...I thought he might have some issues on that one but still it was relatively minor). I've been in a relationship where I was demeaned. I realize how damaging it could be. I'm not gonna throw TK under the bus for a few brief moments where it APPEARS that he might not be supporting Rachel 100%.

Sorry, it was just an opinion that blew up into a bigger conversation than I intended. I think everyone's been consistent in saying for the most part they were a really nice team. Actually, I'm not that sorry ;). Discussion is good.

Yes, Kitt, discussion is good. That's what we're here for. And nobody said TK was a terrible person (I LOVE TK and Rachel, at least as much as I've seen of them). I really do enjoy everyone's input. Chy, thanks so much for the cross-cultural enlightenment. I really find it interesting. You constantly amaze me with your viewpoints (I mean that in a good way!), especially since I believe you've said before that English was not your first language. I can't imagine being able to communicate on a board such as this if I had to articulate myself in another language!
