At least a couple of people have said in their interviews that they didn't like the way Ian treats Teri and they saw them less edited.

I was delighted they got the FF! I don't think they can hold onto their lead, and they will have wasted the FF!

It did seem odd to me that they (and really any of the teams) would want the Fast Forward in this round. Since A & A were so far behind the others in starting I figured no one would take it except maybe A & A. I guess they figured A & A would want it so got it first.

However, it works out or the reasons behind it - I still don't care for Teri and Ian very much. I think the FF will not help for long, they tend to bunch up and lose any big leads.

Well, ol' Ian certainly has an unattractive side to his personality. But it's really him. It's not like you can force someone to be other than they are. There's an old saying that if you squeeze a lemon, don't be surprised when you get lemon juice. I think it's just like that when you stress people. When you put them under pressure what comes out is who they really are too - what's really inside them.

It's not that we don't all have our ugly sides, I certainly have mine. I've just learned that I didn't like that ugly side much and how much it hurt other people, so I've chosen to learn to do things differently. Teri and Ian apparently have not made that choice. As far as Teri's concerned, she made a choice to tolerate Ian's ugly treatment of her under stress, and she's even chosen to retaliate at times. Can't blame it all on Ian. You teach folks how to treat you. If you tolerate it, you've no one to blame but yourself. I can only guess that either Teri doesn't mind it that much, or the positives she gets out of staying in the relationship outweigh the negative.

Having said all that, I think there's also validity to Bob's argument, that producers of these shows amplify certain traits in different couples to make a better show. I don't think it's their goal to offered any kind of "balanced" perspective on any particular couple. They're out for ratings and what they think makes good tv, not necessarily "reality" in reaiity shows.

oh, i totally agree they (editors) amplify the traits, but the traits are already there.

Hi Kar! :) Bad sides? Hmm. whistler

I do agree that, IMHO, they couldn't even edit those 'sides' of Ian if they weren't really there. I mean, I don't think you could ever get footage like that of me because I would never act like that regardless of the circumstances. I have faults, I just don't believe in treating anyone the way he does Teri, under any circumstances. But that's just me and my oppinion!

Edit to add: Sheesh, I told myself I wasn't going to post in here! :(

Draheid, you mean you don't say, "MRS. DRAHEID!!! COME!!!" when you are out in public?

I tell ya, if a spouse said that to me, I'd stop dead in my tracks with a big, "WTF did you just say to me?" I'd stand right where I was until HE walked back to ME, got on his knees and apologized. Then he would have to come up with a nice way to ask me to walk along with him. If he refused, I'd turn around and walk off. Race be d@mned.

You know, I just realized what I really miss about this show.

In the first TAR, with the exception of the Guidos, on almost every leg, the early teams would wait and greet the later teams and when the last team was eliminated, the group would cheer for them and comfort them. They all ran a very hard race, but there was a huge amount of cameraderie among the group.

I loved that aspect about it...it made this show sort of unique. The last two versions, for some reason that warmth is not the same. Wonder what it was about that first group of teams? Remember how mad we all were with Frank treating Marg. so badly when he would get stressed?

and let's not forget wil and tara! my cat used to hide under the bed when they were featured!

i know wil and tara were the second race, but the same kind of frank and marg people--although tara used to give it back big time. my sister was here visiting and had never seen TAR. it happened to be one where tara gave as good as she got, and my sis went, "whoa! who is that Bit#cy woman?!" i guess not seeing wil for the first several episodes, and thinking tara came out of left field somewhere......!
what's different about ian and teri is that they are not a separated couple, and they are older than the other squabbler couples.
it would be great if ian (and teri) could see these edited tapes and say, "oh my God! is that how we came across? how awful!" and do something about how they act :>)

on the first race, i loved nancy and emily. i loved the frat boys.
with this show, i really don't much care who wins, because i liked some of the eliminated teams a lot. i liked the father/son, aaron and arianne, tramel and talicia.
for entertainment purposes, i even wish the legal eagles were here! so book smart and not a clue about so many things! they probably would have put mousse in their fuel tanks. lol

Car..I forgot about that! You are right, that was always so heartwarming. I wonder why they don't do that anymore

Dra, I completely agree with you! If my DH ever spoke to me that way he wouldn't be my DH! I would never be with a man who spoke to me the way Ian speaks to his wife. I just don't get it.

I keep seeing DH, I know it refers to hubby but what is the D for? darling?
Also the only time you would here my hubby say 'Come' was if the words 'My Queen' followed it!

Depends on how you're feeling about hubby, Pamy, LOL. It usually means dear, but I guess if he was ticking you off could mean damn, LOL.

And I have to agree with you guys. My hubby would never speak to me that way. We've had our share of arguments, but neither of us would think to talk like that to each other.

Thanks War! Now I know! today the D would be for dear. My DH has been to home depot 3 times today because I keep changing my mind about the paint he is using in the den! He just said 'I wish I had a paint sprayer, it would make doing the ceilings a lot easier', I said 'why didn't you tell me sooner, go ahead and go get one'..he was out in the car before i finished the sentence! LOL

Pamy, all I got say is Home Depot or Why don't you go ahead and pick up...and hubbys in the car before I finish, LOL.

That's mine and DH's favorite store! We could spend hours in there! LOL

LOL, there have been times we've gone just to browse home depot. I actually enjoy looking. Love buying even more, LOL.

Pamy, bet he's one cute Navy-guy (I know, he's retired, but...) in his jumpsuit :)

the closest home depot to here is 45 miles away, so we usually only go when we are prepared to buy something--and then end up with more than we originally went for!

i drove around with a new one-piece low flow toilet in the back of my suburban for 2 weeks until my husband finally was ready for it and took it out! i had totally forgotten about it and one dark evening i was driving and a car's lights behind me reflected the toilet in my mirror. i thought i had seen my first toilet ghost!! lol... i went, 'what the hell?!' and then remembered i had the john back there. the worst day was when i was about 35 miles from home and i really had to go potty and there was that toilet and i couldn't use it!

LOL Tabby! Yes Sea, he still looks good in his Navy blues!
I know this thread has gotten off topic, I think the reason is because when we see how awful Ian is to Teri it makes us realize how lucky we are to have such great husbands!

pamy, mine has air force blues...remember, my guy is 'retarded' from the military?! yours, too?!

oh, "ian, teri, ian, teri"
that should help cover being on their topic, right?!
