He had just gave a a sermonette about how they were there to show their kids that they didn't give up. Then (guess what?) he was giving up! Good editing to help us on our quest for those we love to hate.

I totally agree. I can't stand Ian nor the way he treats his wife. I was so hoping they would be eliminated last night and the only time we'd have to see them would be their synchronized head turn in the opening!

Ian reminds me of my late father. Very pushy. Mostly towards my mother. I use to think that he (my father) was just a product of his generation. My mother finally did stand up to him, but by then it was to late.

The odd thing is that Ian is only four years older than my husband and my husband has never spoken to me like that. I was watching the show with my husband and 17 yr. old son and they were both in agreement that Ian was an a$$!

Did anyone notice how Ian was running across the field after his wife won? To funny. I kept telling my husband that Ian would make Teri do the last road block in Aberdeen. I think Ian was afraid he couldn't measure up so he decided to berate his wife instead.

He can be bossy, but I really think that she's used to it and that she knows how to put him in his place double quick. When they were in the boat on the River Cam, she let him have it ("Well you were the one who made the choice to do this!") and it shut him right up. She did it again at the Highland Games.

I honestly think that it's simply the way that they've learned the deal with each other. I think his love and respect for her is intense (check out the way he put his arm around her right when they got to the finish line, thinking they were about the receive elimination news together), but that he's simply childlike in his impatience. She deals with him the way you would deal with a mouthy teen-ager.

I think he would completely fall apart without her in his life, and she knows it. They're just one of those couples that operates at a high level of crisis. They have learned to thrive on it. It would bother me if she were a total doormat. But she's a tough cookie, and she loves him, too, and she knows he's just being vocal (and not hateful, like a Will). I think she operates on his level, too.

Teri doesn't seem to be a pushover, I agree. It seems when she is ticked she is perfectly capable of shutting him up, and right quick at that. However, it irks me that he feels so comfortable even doing it, she had 21 years to cure him of that. Now, who are we going to dizz when they are eliminated, though?LOL

Yes, just when you posters are making me warm up to their exchanges and cut them some slack.

They live in the next town over from me and I don't like them either.

I just want them to last long enough for her to really let it go and give him what he deserves.

Ian "I love you...RUN" They are both annoying but at least a little different. Some of the younger teams are a little cookie cutter. As they get more face time we will see the differences I guess.

"God Bless America"?????

What the hey? What sort of brainwashed armyhead is this guy? Why scream that, of all things, at the finish line in Lisbon, Portugal, when your wife is standing next to you needing a hug? And the way he made it look like HE dragged her through it all... What a lummox!

Team Great Santini is starting to wear on me.

I'm *really* not a fan of these two. It's just uncomfortable to watch the way they treat each other. He tells her what to do like she's a little child, or - worse - some kind of dog or something. I don't really feel sorry for her since she seems like she's okay with it most of the time (and she snaps back on occasion, which shows that she isn't afraid to stand up for herself, IMO). And both of them are apparently okay with being with someone who doesn't show a lot of respect or love for the other person.

I know that we only see an edited version of them, and I'm *sure* the stress of the race is making both of them very uptight. And I'm sure they appreciate some things about the other person. But still. Not fun too watch. I wish we could at least hear one of them comment on how the stress of the race is getting to them and the way they treat each other, since maybe that would indicate that they get along better at home.

I see these two going far, just based on some of the editing (foreshadowing) stuff. I don't think they're going to win, though, because again...not that likable. And the winners of the past two seasons were sort of overlooked until near the end.

If my DH EVER spoke to me like that he'd find my foot on his rear with the front door open!! Not that I have to worry about that. He treats me like the Queen I am. LOL

Bastable, Fruitbat, Dahli I completely agree! I almost fell off the couch when I heard that inane "God Bless America" shout. What on earth does THAT have to do with their getting to the finish line in a timely manner?

He is so awful that it is funny in a way. Sort of like Robb on the Survivor show. The worst two things last night for me were running through the airport screaming Taxi as if the cars parked inside the terminal and watching Teri roll the wine barrel up the ramp to the dock while he stood behind reading the directions. - then he has the nerve to nag her all the way to the finish to run faster - unbelieveable.

Ugly ugly ugly Americans. Insensitive and selfish. Dorks, too.

(Don't worry; that's not bashing! I'm talking about... um... The Griswolds!)

I was thinking, all the time he ran ahead of her to the finish line, "Of course YOU still have energy... except for blocking that goal, you haven't done one physically demanding thing in this whole race!"

I couldn't help contrasting the way he ran ahead of her to Michael and Kathy, who walked up together even though Kathy looked totally done in and they must have thought they had a chance of being last.

Bastable...whatever you say, wherever you say it, and whenever it gets printed. You pull the half-baked thoughts out of my mind and make them sound pretty.

So wherever you post, just pretend there's a "ditto" underneath it and that will be my agreeing with you.
