Brendon is a very short distance away from being physically abusive. Rachel doesn't seem to have what it takes to rear up on her hind legs and show her fangs. He is verbally overbearing as well as verbally abusive. She seems like the kind of woman that has to "have a man" at any cost.

I think Rachel is just desperate to make it work. I get the idea that Brendan is unlike any many she's ever been with before in that he's educated, and has the kind of looks that are generally considered attractive. He's a catch in her mind, and she doesn't want to risk losing him.

Neither of them (B/R) understands complete unselfish love. cannot be taught. They won't last.

Saguaro: what info did Brendon give out about where he lives? His UCLA place, or his parents'?

Rachel is now expressing to Brendon that he talks down to her in front of other people and treats her like a child in front of other people. They are talking about her speeding ticket. How she doesn't handle things correctly. I agree with her 100%. He is always correcting, interrupting or putting her down in front of others. And, as sooon as she voices a complaint or feeling, he needs to counter.

He is ridiculous. She said she hired and paid an attorney to take care of the ticket. It is not the way Brendon would have done it. So what ???? Next time she can do it differently. What is wrong with this guy?

As much as I dislike Rachel, I want to feel sorry for her - but yet she was warned last year by Brenden's ex-fiancee. Both the "ex-" and her mother WARNED Rachel about Brenden's controlling and abusive behavior. And that is why I have a hard time feeling sorry for her. I'm very conflicted. I hate seeing anyone abused - but at the same time she ignored the advice of the "ex-" and her mother. I think the problem is they are both so desperate to be in a relationship, yet they feel the other person is the best they can get.

I say everyone here that would be willing to take their relationship into that house for 3 months and have it put under a microscope raise your hand. I am sure being locked in there together 24/7 helps make the small problems large. My husband and I have a great relationship, but I don't know how that environment would effect it. I am not saying that they don't have a dysfunctional relationship, and they could use some counseling.

I feel sorry for Rachel too. It's like she just wants to be accepted and loved for who and what she is ( warts and all)and I don't think Brenden will ever be the one to love her as she is. He is always putting her down and trying to change her into what he wants her to be. Others try to speak with her and yet encourage her and then he walks in and emotionally pushes her back down. Makes me sad. No one deserves this treatment. And yes I can see that Rachel can be a little , how shall we say it , annoying but she has the right to be who she is and in my opinion no one deserves to be treated the way he treats her. (stepping down off my soap box now)

I've been married for 21 years, and I know my marriage isn't perfect, but I also wouldn't put myself in that situation, knowing what it could do to people. They were there before and they knew they had issues going in, so why put yourself through that??

I know we saw Brendon's ex opinion of him, but do we know if Rachel ever saw it? Knowing Brendon, I can see him not letting her see it after they got out of the house. I must have missed her mother warning her, was it when they were in the house. I am old, maybe I just plain forgot.

They MET in the BB house, so this may be their baseline for what is normal for their relationship... I agree the house magnifies behaviors, however, they OFTEN bring up ongoing issues from home. I believe their needy personalities are pretty much 'what you see is what you get'. Outside of BB, I sure he still takes her aside to scold n' mold her. It's his m.o. He does it in private, & it's sad to see her deflate as he berates... In a group he chides her in a 'teasing' way, but one-on-one, he's VERY intense with her

I have had enough of this bonding time with Brendon and Shelly. Why can't we see someone else?
