Juju, for a moment when I was looking at new messages I thought you lost your mind! All I could see was "Go Teri and Ian! Yay!! Yay old...."

There were several times tonight while watching with hubby that I turned to him and said, "If you ever talk to me like that I will leave you standing there looking like a fool while I walk the opposite way away from you!"

Now that I've actually watched the show, he really was hideous tonight. I hope they drop him (and Flo too) down a well.. a very very deep well. Then let Teri take a picture with her new camera :)

Maybe once Ian sees on tv how badly he treats her, he'll think about how he speaks to others

BTW Flo was having a good ol' meltdown at the train station, wasn't she my picture

Juju, I was about to come here and say "now I'm worried about you Juju! Yea Ian!

OH, and I loved how he told her "please don't berate me..."

He must be one of the most insecure people on the planet. His incessant need to beat someone else down to make himself seem superior is unmatched!

Whoa! Juju, tu sais vraiment comment brasser la merde toi...Tu dois avoir un sens de l'humour incroyable...LOL.

Oh Man, I was so hoping Jill and John Vito would find the FF first. Jill was a very good sport about it. They are such an optimistic team.(J&JV that is!) Too bad it got Terri and Ian a good lead. I was sure wishing they would be eliminated. Maybe next week they'll all be equalized at an airport or something. Can you imagine T&I trying to instruct each other on how to operate their new cameras? I'd like to see that!

Come to think of it, don't they usually get awarded a trip for arriving first at a pit stop? Maybe when the producers saw it was team Ugly Americans they substituted a lesser prize!

Maybe they thought the Twins would be first, and would appreciate matching cameras so they could take pics of each other...LOL

just joking--I like the twins, after Ken and Gerard, and JV and Jill.

i think they were given cameras at one point last year, too, but last night when i heard "for arriving first you get..." i was sooooo hoping it wouldn't be a cruise or something really expensive! it was a relief to hear they won the cameras--a nice gift, but not a great one! i hope teri gets all butt shots of ian, so he can see what an a total <> he is! 'please don't berate me?' he'd be lucky if i didn't 'beretta' him!!

"Teri! Come!"

This man's behaviour leaves me speechless! And then to hear Teri going on about teamwork when they stood at the mat?! It didn't take teamwork to go for the fast forward! In fact, they disagreed on whether to do it or not, but Ian bullied Teri into doing it this round. That, you <>, is not teamwork!

Tabby, "beretta" him. Funny. My laugh for the day. Thanks.

one of the mediaw$ore questions asked about 'doggy style'--which i thought would involve a dog training class, dogs pulling a cart, or perhaps doing a puppet ('puppy') show. now, i think the answer will be 2 teams 'do it doggy style'... one was the guy digging like 'fido' in the dirt, and the other would be ian commanding teri as if she were a dog.

Every week Ian gets worse!!! I wonder if their family and friends knew what an <> he was to her. Like the others said, I couldn't believe when he told not to berate him. I also wonder if after watching the show Teri sees how he berates her. It wouldn't be so bad if he showed some loving affection towards her at least sometimes, but that never happens! He irritates me to no end with that hat and the WHOYAAA!! I want to flip him off and say "WHOYAAA this!!"

i know you can probably end up totally stressed or have a bad moment which might get left in when an episode airs--the problem is, ian has only bad moments, so this must be him in real life! i am trying hard to find one redeeming value....


ummm, uh, geez, ummmm, well he's kinda tall.

Hahahahahha, Badabing. Oui, je sais vraiment!

Go Teri and Ian!!!

We get to 5-6 minutes of Teri and Ian each week (for 6 weeks now). Not very much time out of the 2-3 days they spend together in the race (and at pit stops) to generate each weeks show. Every year the producers edit the couples to fit different roles. This year Teri and (especially) Ian are the couple that many people love to hate. I would bet the producers could make Ian look like the best husband in the world if they wanted to.

I would hate to see a 30-40 minute low-light reel of the past 2 week vacation I spent driving around the country with my family. I'm sure several people would be offering free divorce services to my wife and hoping I fall in a deep well (or be willing to "beretta" me, what ever that involves).

Would you really want to be judged on your worst 30-40 minutes from the last 2 weeks?
Would this be a complete picture of who you are and how you treat your spouse, family and other people?

hey, people judged A and A on a lot less than that for saying things about the twins--that other teams also said, i might add. A and A never did regain favor with a lot of people, which didn't seem right to me, but i can only choose for myself, not others.
ian and teri can't even hold onto their 'tear strip' when they get their clues. i'll bet no matter how bad some of your 2-week vacation was, you didn't toss your trash on the ground. please tell me that!!

did you yell "Debbie, Come!' or whatever your wive's name is, as if she were a dog?

in my humble opinion, the editors would be very hardpressed to find 5 or 6 minutes of 'nice' ian coverage in the entire 30-something days. and teri is no sweetheart; however, she is much easier to take than ian. maybe it's because i am a woman, but ian just seems of the 'old school mentality' where women haven't evolved as equal human beings yet!

i honestly cannot imagine another teammate not checking what type of fuel their vehicle took if their partner suggested, "maybe it takes diesel?", before saying, "no, it does not take diesel."

my worst 30 or 40 minutes of the last 2 weeks...hmm, i was upset with my son's low calculus grade. i didn't scream, though, i cried. and then i made him arrange tutoring. last night he got a huge, huge hug and grin from me when he told me he had gotten a 90% on the latest test.
the dog chewed one of the kids' toys, which he has never done before, so he had to go outside for half an hour, which he hates. i mean it was only about 70 degrees out there. poor little guy! but he didn't get beaten or screamed at.

i did lie to a telemarketer or two when i told them i wasn't home, lol. but i didn't yell at them.

i helped my husband cook 10 turkeys and all the side dishes for a group he is in, bartended, helped serve, helped clean up...and i even paid for my dinner! i don't remember getting mad at anyone, although i did pace in front of the oven for several minutes waiting for a couple of turkeys to get to 170 degrees, saying, "c'mon!! dinner's in half an hour and i have to bundle you guys up and get you to the hall!" (i guess you could say i 'talked turkey' for a while!)

the only time i can remember getting a little miffed was when i was parked next to the high school waiting for my daughter, and some worker was spray painting parts of the new fence and it was breezy out. i was ready to get out and ask him to please not spray when he got to where the cars were parked, but i didn't even have to do that. he stopped painting further down the fence before coming to a spot where he may have gotten paint on vehicles.

i remember traveling once where every 5 minutes my husband wanted to get out and catch a bus for home over nothing things. he didn't want to go to my sister's in the first place, and should have just stayed home. you should have seen his face when i pulled over on the freeway in sacramento and told him, "out!" he was much better behaved after that :>)

over-all, although there are times i want to bean someone, i really appreciate that my husband not only is a wonderful provider but also very talented at carpentry, remodeling, car repairs, cooking--and he changed diapers a lot if he was home--and he would never, ever talk to me the way ian talks to teri.
he walked through the family room once when ian was yelling about something and said, 'who's that guy?! and why is she taking it?!'

and, for myself, i certainly would be on my best, best behavior if i knew i was being filmed! it would tend to make me hold things in, rather than lash out.
looked at it that way: this 5 or 6 minutes a week may BE the best of ian, not the worst! isn't that a scary thought!?

So, which single clip would you prefer shown on TV?

The one where you pulled over on the freeway and told your husband to get "out!" or the one last night when you gave your son a huge, huge hug and grin?

It may the best of Ian and it may be the worst. We have no way of telling, with him or any of the teams.

Tabbyking

Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 01:24 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
either one would be fine. i was not mean to my husband when i said it; i did not raise my voice, and i just said the one word: 'out!' any of the two hours of tape before that would have shown him complaining and saying he wanted to get out and catch a bus for home, so actually i was offering what he wanted!

i think it's just ian being ian. that's the way he is. he probably doesn't think he is being awful and maybe half the time it doesn't bother teri, except that the camera people are hearing it. it's not the best or the worst of him--it's just him. i don't think ian would play to a camera--trying to act either nicer or gruffer than he is. also, in the hecticness of the race, unless you are doing your little confessionals later, you probably ARE most yourself. it's the rehearsed answers or things you take time to consider before doing or saying that 'might' not reflect the real you. to me, it's how a persons act under pressure that often shows our true personalities. maybe that's why i was such a good emt.

oh, and although i would love, love, love to go on TAR, it would be very hard for me to be mean to or not help another team. i might not give up my confirmed seat on a flight, but i would have a lot of trouble passing someone on the road whose car had broken down, or not tell them the truth if they asked where i was heading. hopefully, if i was one of the 2 last teams coming to a pit stop, i could stop myself from saying, 'after you' or holding the door for the others to pass through first, or something! lol

I have to agree with Tabby. You would never see my hubby talk to me the way Ian talks to Teri no matter how my hubby and I were edited. Bob, I agree with you that editing can make you like or dislike someone but there are just some things editing can’t hide. I am also thinking of Robb on Survivor, one could say he was edited to appear ‘a little dumb’ but after watching him on interviews I am thinking it wasn’t the editing.

I would really like to see the way they interact with their kids.

I think Teri and Ian are one of those brother and sister couples who look alike.
