I'm surprise no one has brought this up (please move if it is in another thread)...

Last week Colin yelled at Christie pretty badly during the police incident. And then when it was over she apologized to him for not supporting him fully. Did this seem odd to anyone else, or was it just edited to look suspicious?

Hi Jonnyzbabe! It was discussed a lot in that episode's spoiler thread (see the thread just below this one). You might want to check that one out.

I see in the previews for tonights show that Colin is once again yelling at her during a challenge.. He irritates me no end. I would love to see them lose and be evicted.

Hope fully some one who knows her can show her that this man is <el>, she needs to get away from him.
He tells her at the police station to stop making things worst.

He is really hard to like, isn't he? And she seems so submissive, but might not be in real life, I know I'd be nicer if there was a camera in my face when subjected to these tirades. At home, I'd react differently.

I guess somebody had to replace Alison & Donnie as the team you love to hate.

And we wouldn't hate them nearly as much if they weren't so successful in the race.

Has any one checked TV Guide online today. He has an interview in response to Mirna's post race accusations. Just one thing, I thought they were not allowed to do interviews until the were eliminated?

Any thoughts.

I just saw that interview myself. I thought it was pretty odd for the same reason. Seemed mostly designed so he could slam Mirna and Charla back for slamming him. I didn't know CBS played that for tat game - they don't let the survivor do it. However, I don't think TV Guide would deliberately break a confidentiality agreement. If they are going to interview him, why not ask about his jail house actions last week? LOL!

BTW - I think there's a lot more to the animosity than Colin is portraying. This guy is a loose cannon and will start screaming anyone for anything. Mirna is not that different. I'm sure these two were like oil and water from the beginning. You can really see it in the way the childishly try to pick at one another in interviews. And here I thought Alison and Donny came across badly in their interview. LOL!!

Colin is a competitor. He has a hair-trigger temper. Christie knows this. She loves him, anyway. They're a great team. They will probably win this race.

Colin does display signs of a bad temper. My concern though is that the temper may be even worse when the camera's aren't around.

I'm hoping that Christie realizes that he needs help with controlling his anger and tries to encourage him to get that help. I also hope that if she was in any danger because of his temper that she would be able to recognize it or that her family would recognize it.

I have to add though that I don't like the feeling that I get in the pit of my stomach when I see Colin "loose it" (like he did at the police station). I also hope that he will realize that the way he speaks to her at times can be very degrading and hurtful.

AAAAAANNNND when/while he loses it, the verbal twisting & snarling that it's
All Her Fault while she dutifully apologizes. That's a chronic sign of an abuser, IMO.

Like someone else suggested on the Spoiler Thread, they've now won TWO vacations - better to split them up & take 'em separately. I hope she's smart enough to unload this dude once the race is over!

<SY> I cant figure out why she is so masochistic to stay with someone like that. I would tell her get while the getting is good.

I still say that Christie is focused on the race, and she is humoring Colin in order to try to minimize the conflict and get his head back in the race. She seems to be pretty rational and pragmatic most of the time. What good would it do in these situations to fight and scream at Colin? Standing up for herself right at those moments would simply be a waste of time and energy. I think she apologized just to get it over with.

And I hope she dumped his sorry ass after the race.

To borrow a phrase from Big Brother, maybe "Karma" will have Colin and Alison hooking up. Now that would be a match made in heaven.

I wonder why she keeps letting him do the detours. It's guaranteed he is gonna freak out and throw a fit.She get's to stand on the sidelines and agonize. I'd rather just do the tasks myself,and get it done.

Even with the freak out he did those bricks much better than she would have. After he finally got a few bricks right he sped up and finished well ahead of everyone else. Colin is obnoxious but he is very superior at the physical tasks.

Yeah Colin made better bricks than anyone else. I think he should be indentured to that brick maker for 7 years.

Oh, I disagree, Sea. There are better jobs for dear, dear Colin. Gathering guano to make fertilizer comes to mind...

I went to the CBS site and read C&C's biography...makes for an interesting read at this point, doesn't it? I wonder how she feels about marrying him now if the race was supposed to show their compatibility...

Colin & Christie met in a class at the University of Texas in Austin and have been dating for over a year. Both now live in Corpus Christi, Texas. When Colin saw Christie give a presentation in their communications class, he knew that she was the one for him. It took eight months of being friends before he finally got her to go out on a date with him. Colin claims that he will ask Christie to marry him if they can get through the Race together.

Christie is the 1996 Miss Teen USA winner, the first and only one from Texas. However, she considers her biggest accomplishment in life to be working to pay her entire way through college and graduating with honors. She describes herself and her teammate as "very competitive, extremely aggressive with strong personalities." Although Christie says that she is always late, she is also a perfectionist who hates losing.

Colin is the owner of a cell phone store. Among the accomplishments he is most proud of is getting Christie to fall in love with him, which he claims is better than being the top first-year dealer for a book publishing company in the United States. He also agrees that he and Christie are both very aggressive and “very outspoken and in-your-face.” However, he is a very open person who will talk to anyone, while Christie is extremely private.

Colin & Christie are excited about competing in THE AMAZING RACE 5 because they will be able to travel the world and participate in this kind of competition. Christie adds, "Another reason for doing this Race is that it is a test to see if we are marriage potential. I know we can win, and if we do, we're getting married right after the show."

REALLY happy to see in the spoiler at the end of this week's show that Christie demands some respect next week - about time!

Tishala, perhaps it is because he is always boiling mad?
