I couldn't believe that this guy Jesse is the one Sandra Bullock is married to. I saw him on the first show last night--he has zero personality. Zip. He looks brooding and acts immature.

He is neither brooding nor immature, though I can see how you might think he is from this show.
He guards his words very carefully.

Jesse and Sandra married because they were living together and he was in a terrible accident. When he was being rushed to the hospital, Sandra was told she would have no say whatsoever in his care because she was not related to him. That's why they decided to marry...so they could "speak" for eachother should the other one require it.

They have a very interesting relationship. In fact, Sandra has said that she thought the same thing of him that you do, Holly, until she got to know him.

I think Jesse is just kind of fed up with all the emotional infighting of his teammates and the cross-team fighting as well. He strikes me as the kind of person who just wants to do the tasks and maybe win the show, and avoid all the unnecessary drama.

Lilfair, I found your comments about Annie's BJ statement disquieting. I can't imagine, under any circumstances, bragging about sexual prowess, especially that explicitly, as an admirable, disirable thing, especially for the sake of her children. Have we really, as a society, come to the point where this is acceptable, or funny, or entertaining. Maybe in a comedy club where you know ahead of time the content of the routine will probably contain sexual comments, then, yes it would be funny, but not on a national show from a mother of four, whose children have to go to school and listen to the taunts of other children.

I think we have to go back to where there is right and wrong, where inappropriate behavior is reprimanded and not applauded, and something long forgotten, decorum and respect and concern for others.

Wow!, I sound like an old fuddy duddy. I'm really not, it's just I feel we've gone too far, and it bothers me that it's so widely accepted.

I agree with you, Jgalt. The problem is, who decides what is "right" and what is "wrong"??

I brought this up somewhere else, but I see this sort of thing happening more and more, and it IS disquieting. SpongeBob "booty" commercials during the Family viewing hours, Simon calling someone a "Smart Ass" on AI.
Sadly, it's everywhere.

My opinion is that we are completely desensitizing and sexualizing our children. When an 8-year old girl uses "Sexy" as a definative word to describe her outfit, say, I think we're in a world of hurt.

I literally cracked up last night when Jesse said " I feel like I just relived the last family reunion I went to!"

She made the comment to her teammate Brande Roderick.

She made the comment to the camera. She was all about the camera while she was doing that cooking.

I'd rather hear a comment like that during the 9pm-11pm spot than during the 8pm hour of a SitCom...which I have heard many times, in innuendo.

This show is definately more adult oriented. But sheesh... it just seems like sexual innuendo is creeping into EVERYTHING.

That's interesting stuff, Bee. Thanks for posting it. I guess you can never judge a book by its cover.

Yes, Chewpito, I can certainly understand work banter getting funny/wild between friends etc., I just have a problem with looking into a camera and bragging about BJ's. I guess what I'm saying is, there is a time and place for everything, I think we've blurred the line as to what is appropriate and where.

I found Annie's BJ remark and her delivery very funny and am going to steal and use that line at some time. Don't worry about her kids. If kids taunt them (which I doubt) they'll learn how to deal with it. Would your kids really taunt a class mate??? I know mine wouldn't and didn't. I'm perfectly fine with talk about BJ's on this show especially since they bleeped it and it was not the focus of the show...it shouldn't be a shocking discovery Annie gives good BJ's and is proud of it....the chick is proud of EVERTYTHING she does....stop the presses , sign the cross, hide the children ;). Mothers of four are sexual beings, lets not forget that. But I do understand that there are lots of people who still prefer not to even acknowledge that women perform the act and enjoy doing so. After all society is so very fragile that a bleeped sexual comment can bring it tumbling down.

The comment really didn't annoy me as much as others. I took it for what it was - Annie mugging for the cameras.

Well great for your kids, but kids do and will taunt kids. I live in a neighborhood full of kids. Some of them are sweeties. Some of them are punks. And some of them fluctuate between both of those statuses!!

I don't know if you've been around kids lately, but there is no way that kids would not taunt kids if their mom were on TV and said something like that. ESPECIALLY if she has middle or high schoolers.

Looks like she has 4 kids ages 7, 9, 11 and 14. (depending on the month they were born, they might be 6, 8, 10 and 13). Any ways you cut it, those are prime "teasing" ages.

I am around kids regularly but maybe I'm fortunate that teasing is a rare occasion. But if ya all think that a second of a bleeped BJ comment will make the kids in your life or the kids in your kids school or circle of friends tease another child so be it. It is sad that people raise children that tease others. Again I'm fortunate in that regard.

Giget, thanks for that link. I discovered that Jesse and I went to the same school. Of course he was a jock and I was a nerd. He was on the football team and I didn't know we had a football team.

I thought Annie's remark was just exactly what I would expect from someone like her. Crude and tasteless. I was embarrassed for her kids. And if you don't think there are bullies in schools who will find anything they can to pick on another kid you are being totally unrealistic.

Lilfair--I raised 2 daughter and believe me, any little thing is used to tease and hurt another kid. Our middle school is a really awful experience for so many kids. I spent a lot of time there when my younger daughter was there. I was amazed and amazed at how many parents refused to believe their kids would do what they do.

Bullying is really huge around here. And, online bullying is bad, too.

If you don't think your kid would bully, you live in a dream world. It's just to what extent they do it. Peer pressure is a b*tch from kindergarten on up. Every kid bullies and is a victim of a bully to some extent. Might be verbal or physical. Might be just light teasing of another kid or an actual fist flying fight. If you never said an unkind word to another kid, or hit another kid, or had things said to you, or had someone hit you at school....well dang, what school did YOU go to?!?!?!

I had a bully who was A TEACHER in 7th and 8th grade.

I wonder if this was his side of the family...or Sandra's? LOL
