hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. I just wanted to reach into the tv last night and deck Ian. Man he is irritating! I wonder what he thinks when he sees himself like this. Ugh! I used to feel sorry for Terri but she's losing points with me too. Ugly Americans is right!

As much as I dislike them, esp. him, I have to tip my hat at his resourcefulness and determination at fixing the car and getting back on the road. Mrs.Never-Say-Die told him to leave it, it wasn't worth it.

This is the pair that I dislike the most. But jeez it was awesome how he took charge of the diesel situation and fixed it on his own with no hand-wringing or help from anyone. I liked that. But I really would prefer that he stick to perfecting his Ugly American image so that I don't have one single thing positive to think about him.

Well, I went back and watched the tape again (before I have to tape over it).

When Teri was wiping away what looked like a tear, it was when he got all upset over her cutting him off and finishing his sentences. It's clear he wants to be the one in control. He kept starting to tell the cabby where they wanted to go, and she would cut him off and finish his sentence. I think she was the one holding/reading the clue. But, I can unfortunatly understand his frustration.

My family is ALWAYS cutting me off and either totally ignoring what I try to contribute to a conversation, or just changing the subject and never letting me get in a word. It frustrates the h&ll out of me, and I could see that frustration in Ian. He said something like, "go ahead and tell him (the cabby), I can't talk over you." His reaction to it was probably edited to make him look like the overall @ss he is.

Later, he is talking about how he is the piolot and she is the navigator, blah blah blah. And that is when she is wiping away the tear.

I also heard him say "sorry," as they were walking back to the gas station. But it was a "teenagery" attitude like, "oh well!" But I guess at least he said sorry.

That's the best I can do in defending the guy. Or at least trying to see things from his perspective. I still can't stand him!

We can't get on them to much for the trash statement. Watch and you will see that all of the contestants throw the zipper on the envelope on the ground.

Ian and Teri live in a high environment area.

They are really gonna hear about the gas on the ground. Of course they have to do everything they can IF they want to stay in the game.

Still don't like them.

Note of appreciation to Whoami: thanks for the little 'bits' of 'detail info', that were otherwise lost in all the 'fast paced' production & editing of the show. I'm telling you, sometimes it is really hard to keep up with who's doing what to who and when and whyfor...

I hope the producers did not allow the dumping of a full tank of gas onto the highway. Maybe they stepped in right after he started the draining. Also, like others, I was annoyed with how he yelled at her for being ahead in the run to the pit stop. Didn't he take credit last week for getting her to hustle to the finish line.

Dogdoc, not that I saw... they showed the huge puddle of gas running down the road as Terri/Ian drove away. They should have been eliminated from the game for that IMO or at least heavily penalized. And I know that the camaraman are not supposed to interfere but when the team is doing something that cannot later be easily repaired then they SHOULD speak up.... "HEY, Jacka**, you gonna lick that up when you're done?" RFLOL That would have been interesting.

Actually what would be perfectly reasonable IMO is if the cost of cleaning up the gas spill is taken out of Terri/Ian's budget for the rest of the race. LOL Ahh guys... you have .45 cents left for the next 3 weeks. :)

Csnog, I agree with you about the trash. I think what makes it so *special* is that Terri actually noticed it and made a point of saying they will just leave it there.

Fuel and antifreeze is always leaking on highway curbs. It's what the breakdown lane is for! What--clean up that spill but leave the thousands of other oil slicks? Ludicrous! I'm a big believer in protecting the environment, but this isn't that. They shouldn't be prosecuted for it. Which is why they weren't.

Why aren't you angry that Teri tossed her trash on the streets of medieval Lisbon? Unlike the fuel purge, there was no good reason or rationale to do THAT.

I've already said that this team is my least favorite. But I have to ask what should Ian have done with the diesel? I, too, thought I saw it on the road surface. That stuff does evaporate and at least it wasn't flowing into a bucolic stream or water source. And, those little cars over there have small gas tanks so the actual gallons dumped probably weren't all that many.

It wasn't bad enough to make me sick over it. And, no, I'm not an anti-environmentalist. Oh wait--I AM employed in the oil and gas industry!

I think the dumping of gas was both irresponsible and dangerous. At least where i live, if someone does that, it gets cleaned up immediately, even if your gas nozzle screws up at the station and doesn't shut off automatically, like it's supposed to. I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen folks toss a lit cigarette butt out the car window driving by. What if that lit butt hit the diesel? What if it happened while they are standing by the car refilling it?

I just don't like this couple much. To me they are the epitome of ugly Americans.

i am not sure how they could have handled the fuel, but showing them drop the trash, and say, 'oh well' and leave it, means to me that 'how to dispose of it' was never a consideration for them at all when they had to empty the gas tank! it probably never even crossed their minds....

Although I still think Teri should have picked up her litter, she was in the airport, not on the Lisbon streets at the time, so at least it will be cleaned up by someone. I don't know about the leaking gas - I would have thought it would have been a fine-able (sorry, made up word!) offence, but then I guess they weren't caught. It's not like we expect anything better by this team, sadly.

Ian's only redeeming feature appears to be he knows how to fix a car. That's all I want to say about him.

I wonder how the producers thought these two would be taken by the public? I suspect they planned them to be the ones we hate. At least with last year's Guidos they were the ones we "loved to hate", but with these two there's no love anywhere, I just want to see them gone so we can see more of the other players.

kitt, i thought she dropped the trash outdoors. my mistake, i guess!

Bastable

No, Tabbyking, you're right. She was on the quay in Lisbon. She littered a public promenade, not an airport. They didn't go to an airport in Wednesday's episode.

By the way--man, oh, man, wouldn't you like to see what Dr. Phil would say about these two? He'd rip them both new orifices.

Personaly I hate the way he treats his wife. Imagine if she had been the one to put the wrong gas in OH my Gosh he would have had a cow. I can find no redeamable feature to make me like these two. And this is actually the most I have ever disliked a team. The gas was so stupid because she even asked was it diesel LOL. So I couldnt even feel sorry for them. And your right Bastable LOL Dr. Phil would really have a good time with them. Imagine if he was a critic on this show LOL.

Oh, sorry, I rewound to have a look as I missed the her dropping trash before... it looked like they were in some big building, like an airport or station. I guess they were outside, not inside, sorry. :)

He is an absolute control freak. Tonite, his wife wanted to get off the highway, and he agreed only after telling her if she was wrong it would be on her head if they got behind. That business with the taxi was a good example--he even stated that when he gives an order, he expects it to be followed. Also that hat of his has to go!!

Why should she litter in an airport???

Well I just don't find anything good about them.. no redeeming features.

I also hate the hat.

Now that they got fast forward, I hope the fall flat on their fffaces.

Between these two and Flo's irritating, screechy whining all the time, it's almost unbearable to watch. I just keep hoping that these two will fall on their butts and take Flo with them.

Makes you wonder what these guys think when they actually see themselves on TV.

AAAAAAHHHHHRRRGGGGGGGG! Man, I don't think anyone has ever irritated me as much as these two (espeicially HIM).

Why the heck did they have to get the FF? If they win this thing, I'm going to hurl. In fact, I think our dear host looked like he was going to hurl, when he had to tell them they were in first place.

Please let Karma take care of them.

they always drop their trash, they always fight, he always treats her like $hit--they are annoying as hell! do you think they have any friends?...just wondering. oh yeah, and he wouldn't listen to her when she asked if their vehicle took diesel last week but then said something like 'we made a mistake' when he talked about it. if they had gone the wrong way tonight, it would have been all teri's fault. does this guy assume responsibility for any of his actions?

anyway, why couldn't they be gone, instead of aaron and arianne? flo is going to drive me batty, too.
