Thanks Costa :-)

I must run to the post office now and mail my packages so I'm off. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

He should have been arrested for assault, if not eliminated from the game. It was so disgusting.

Seriously, I keep feeling like sooner or later the producers will have to pull those two from the race. They both seem to have serious mental/emotional problems and someone's going to get hurt. It looked like Phil couldn't have been more disgusted with Jon, and watching how Victoria started crying like the world was ending just because they were going to place second in one round of the game left me thinking the woman has some real damage that needs healing.

One question though: I noticed the spoilers saying she hit the ground. I only saw her stumble to one side and the program dropping to the ground where she had to bend and pick it up. Did she actually hit the ground, too?

This was the most disgusting episode ever of TAR. From the horribly ignorant comments about Africa, to the escalating verbal, emotional and physical abuse. This used to be my fave show...

Do you think the show can be held responsible if something happens to her??? I mean don't they have a responsiblity to report abuse??

I wonder if ppl are calling the cops on him tonite after seeing the show.

Raenstorm,

I agree too! Kendra's ignorance, insensitivity and lack of respect for the people of Africa was embarassing, uncalled for, and cruel...especially the comments she made when the cab drive was sitting right in front of her. They were even worse than the comments she made last week! Jon is still about the worse contestant ever though. Even though he surprised me last week with the great respect and warmth he showed to the people of Africa, he needs to show that to Victoria first!!!!

I think Jon is probably laughing hysterically after watching tonight's episode. Can't wait to see the rebuttal on their Web site, "You don't me..." "Things aren't as they seem..." "We are going to sue CBS..." blah blah blah.

I agree Babyruth! Talk about the Ugly Americans, this episode had two of them. Kendra and Jon.

I'm surprised that they haven't thrown Jon off the show. BB throws them off if they become aggressive, TAR should do the same. Anyone who touches another in an aggressive fashion whether your own partner or another team, should go.

I just can't believe he hit her and made her stumble and drop all of her pamphlets. If I was her father or brother, I would be over there right now packing her things and getting her out of that house. You cannot chalk what Jonathan did up to editing. He hit her, plain and simple.

This was only the 4th leg...what's Jon going to be like if they stay in? He's a bully and scary. Kendra comes in a close second this week.

I wish MJ and Don could have caught up tonight. They seem like a very sweet couple.

I was going to make a voodoo doll of Jonathon but I'd have to wait for my next (rhymes with vowel)movement for some "material" to work with.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way about Jon and the comments that were made torge Africa.

I'm canadian and watching the father/daughter team break down even made me sad.

Jonathan should be taken off the show-the way he treats her is UNEXCEPTABLE.

Sad to see the older couple go (can't remember their names).

And just in case anyone wants to know how to get OFF a subway...well, just hit the button OR pull the door lever down.

I can't believe how much trouble they all had with the train/subway system in Berlin.

By the way, that church in Berlin was left in ruins as a memorial to WWII. It is the Keiser Wilhelm church (Lutheran) and the big glass tower is the new office tower for the church. The new church is a round glass building next to the ruins. The locals call the new buildings the lipstick and compact.

Glad to see a choice between brats and bier. The bier steins are called a "mass" (really with the double s).

I'm hoping that they go to some of the famous composer (BACH...or Handel) sites in what used to be East Germany. Or maybe to Wittenberg to where the Lutheran Reformation started....now THAT would be an interesting train ride. The train to Wittenberg stops at EVERY cow!

Jonathan needs to be smacked with a wet noodle. He is out of control. WAY out of control.

On the funnier side, MJ's 7 inches comment over the bratwurst gave me a giggle. I'm going to miss that team. It was so nice to see the other teams chip in to help them out. It seems like they always put these non-elimination rounds in places where the locals are destitute so the players will be in the awkward position of having to beg for money around the truly needy.

So that was Kendra that made the "breeding" comment? Man, did that make my blood boil.

Jonathan.....pretty much everything has been said. I think a writing campaign to CBS to let them know that casting people like this for entertainment is unacceptable, and will lose viewers.

Don/Mary Jean. God bless them for refusing to panhandle from people they know are poverty stricken. And thank goodness the other teams were willing to give up some of their own cash so they didn't have too panhandle.

Like I said earlier...

I can only imagine what Jon is like when the cameras aren't 'on'.

I would hate to be in that 'relationship'.

You've all expressed pretty much what I was feeling watching this episode. The slave house was really emotional and then to have to follow that with the ignorant remarks of Kendra, made me sick. She is definitely after Jonathan on my least favorite list.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what Jonathan was doing to Victoria. It disgusts me that they just continued to film him being abusive. I almost thought (hoped!) Phil was going to elminiate him from the race because of this treatment of her. Jon was so oblivious to his own awful behavior that he actually tried to get Phil to sympathize with him about the mistake Vicki made? OMG! I agree. What is he like when the camera is off?!!! I read they want to have children? That would be making one tragedy into a huger one. Vicki's family ought to do some kind of intervention. No one can edit what he did INTO the show. He's disgusting and I agree we should write to CBS about our disgust of watching the abuse and that we won't watch if they catch more people like him and then allow them to continue when their behavior becomes obvious.

I knew MJ and Don were probably going to be eliminated and her comment at the sausage factory cracked me up too. What a sweet couple!

My favorites to win now are Kris and Jon. They work well together and seem respectful so far. I pray that Jon and Vicki are out soon. I feel that way every week!

Don't laugh but we were starting to see some more positive points about Jon in the last couple of shows. He seemed very nice to the local people, he was generous helping Don and Mary Jean, he showed a sense of humour and it seemed they were showing more give and take in his relationship with Victoria.

And then he really lost control on tonight's show. Ugh! Very distasteful.

Oddly enough though, my wife dislikes Kendra's attitude and actions even more.

First Kendra repulsed me. Then Jon went into his act and I honestly could not believe that someone did not step in and do something. But then maybe it's good they didn't so these two can see themselves on camera. There's no way it's the editing - that guy is truly sick.

On a brighter note, I loved watching Gus trying to sneak more beer! And I loved what Don said about his wife, Jean. And ditto to what WhoamI said about the two of them not wanting to take money from the poor.

I agree with writing the producers of this show.

I've just scanned through all the threads to find Jonathan & Vicki's page, only because I want to see how they try to "splain" away what we saw tonight. Well, I finally found it in the easiest place I could have looked! Oh well! It's on "The Teams" thread if anyone else is interested!

I also thought he was showing some kinder sides of his personality last week and then with MJ & Don and the money situation. He even made me laugh (at his ridiculous comment I must add) about how he could do the sausage because he saw Lucy do it on I Love Lucy and if Lucy could do it, he could too! Then he totally blew it. The man disgusts me.

Watching, look under the teams info thread. You'll find a few links there.

There's a poll on their site . . . "Is 2nd place good enough?" So far it's 82% saying YES.
