When my husband and I saw that their kids were about the same age as ours we were stunned! "We are as old as them??" Well, yes, we are as old as them, our kids are about the same age, and we have been married 20 years! I guess some of us just get a late start.

Uhoh, I got moderated for the first time, and I even used those nice little starry thingies.LOL

Should have read their profile better, their boys' ages surprised me, too. Now I get the "set an example for the kids" mentions more. Used to think "isn't it a little late now?"LOL The younger one seemed tickled to be talking to his mom, the teen more embarrassed. (Don't worry, Mods, I will restrain myself - this time.LOL)

Teens often live to be embarrassed by their parents. (except Bat's son, I'm sure he never was embarrassed.. lol)

Seamonkey, why do I get the feeling Bat's son and mine would have a lot to talk about?LOL

well to change the subject for a minute, hubby and i just got home from a wonderful 2.5 hour neil diamond concert. all i can say is 'wow!' that man still has it!! he sang all my old favorites, 'sweet caroline' and 'shiloh', etc...
my kids love the movie 'lost and found' where david spade lip syncs to 'brother love's travelin' salvation show', so when neil performed that song, i dialed my cell phone and held it up for them to hear it! cheaper than 65 bucks each to take them!!

okay, teri and ian....

I found it amusing that Teri and Ian mentioned how no other teams have approached them to form an alliance. They assume it is because they are too much of a threat. I'd be avoiding them because of their annoying behaviour! Who would want to spend more time around that?

Tabby -- I love Neil Diamond too! I'll be seeing him on New Year's Eve night. Can't wait! HAve you seen the movie Saving Silverman? IT has some great humor surrounding the two lead characters who are in a Diamond cover band. It might be a little raw for kids though. Neil is even in the movie.

I've been thinking about how I'd feel if Teri/Ian won this thing. No, I won't be happy in any way, shape or form. I'll be cursing my TV. However, if they win it, it looks like they'll do it without any help from any other team. They've been determined and strong and really went for it. I'll be able to respect the win, but I still won't like it. I'll certainly watch TAR again and hope for better results next time.

Did anyone notice the glee with which Ian and Teri told the others about the impending bungee jumping? Teri even reminded Ian to tell Flo, so that she'll freak. Well, there is strategy and then there is strategy.

Not that I like Teri and Ian, but scaring Flo is a good thing :)

i thought it was funny when teri said that, but look who else was afraid to jump?! (besides tabbyking!!!) i figure if flo can say (fluently) to not let the team behind them get seats on a certain flight or train ride, then turn about is fair play. remember, 'time heals all wounds.' oh yeah, and 'a hard man is good to find.' both bits of wisdom passed down from my friend's great-grandma at the dinner table in a nursing home!

I thought that trying to scare Flo was just plain nasty. Teri and Ian hold themselves up as morally superior to the youngsters...and then they keep doing repugnant things like that.

Strategy is one thing, but playing on the deep life-and-death fears of another human just seems beyond the pale to me. Not against the rules of the game, but certainly against the principles of decent people.

i still thought it was no worse than flo telling the agent not to sell tickets to the team behind them for the same trip she and zach were on. again, all part of the game, but i don't like the meanness parts at all! i remember thinking, "what a -itch" when flo did her little number and thinking again, "what a -itch" when teri made her comment.

Between those two ahem ladies there is plenty of -itching to go around.

I can't get around just telling Flo that they might have to bungee jump being against the principles of decent people, Bastable.. I don't like Teri, Ian or Flo but really that was just information. Yes the motive wasn't so pure but.. oh well. Flo has tried several times to directly obstruct other teams and I consider her treatment of her partner to be downright slimey.

It wasn't so much the telling I minded - particularly since Flo was the recipient! Little mind games like that are okay, I think. But Teri's glee was an ugly thing to see. Teri's personality, in general, is usually an ugly thing to have to witness.

I hate to say it, but Ian was nice the whole episode. Don't know if it is due to "in the lead relief", or gracious editing....

You don't think they are making him look good because he and Teri actually wi...

Da gonit - I'm feeling like an absolute idiot right now - I haven't reviewed the 245 postings on this couple but I know that some of them are mine- and I've been pretty judgemental about Ian - let's face it - in many ways he is an idiot - the sterotypical "ugly American tourist" and poor old Terry - living with the guy all these years - the attitude has to rub off - if for no other reason than to survive.
But after tonight's show, maybe I got sucked in , but I got to kind of liking these two. Maybe it's because we are the same generation. I grew up during the 60's in Canada and remember watching the nightly horrors of Vietnam , just thanking my lucky stars that I was here safe and not there - and that the Americans , not us were going through this - and whatever anybody's feelings are about that war - you have to respect the soldiers who came out of it with some sanity and got on with their lives and became productive citizens.
The other thing is, we look at this couple and compare them with the others who are a generation younger. And I know that as time goes on, you become more jaded, more cynical and just plain tireder and unfortunately sometimes less appreciative of your spouse. The good as well as the bad becomes more pronounced. I guess that what I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure anymore what to say about them, and keep reminding myself that I have alot of flaws too which would come out if I was on national TV week after week. I do know one thing for sure though - I'm smart enough to never put myself in a position like that to be the subject of criticism and public deriscion

Isn't if funny how your attitude towards the contestants changes as the game proceeds. At the beginning, I was sort of neutral towards Ian and Terri because I did not figure they would be around long,and I did not care for how Ian treats Terry, but they have grown on me.

I remember a couple of shows ago when they were on the plane to Maylasia ahead of the rest and the other teams were sitting around the airport speculating how far behind they were. One of the girls, I think it was Flo, laughed and said "they are probably still back there trying to figure out things. they just don't get it." The other teams laughed like Ian and Terri were a big joke.

I thought then how arrogant can you be, and I hoped they beat the whole bunch. I started out liking the brother teams and hoped one of them win. Now in spite of myself I am rooting for Ian and Terri. don't think the others are looking at them as a joke any more. In tonight's show, when Ian did not have to wait on Terri, he was much nicer.

If Ian and Terri win it will be because they did what needed to be done to win a difficult and grueling race, and their personalities are beside the point. There is nothing in the rules that say a team deserves to win because they are nice. If that was so, Flo would have been disqualified a long time ago. If Ian and Terri, win they deserve it
