Crazydog | Monday, June 09, 2003 - 09:12 am     Virgin this, virgin that, Bible this, Bible that. Strength and committment, blah blah blah. Do we really need to hear about it every single episode? If they keep talking about it every single week I'd just as soon see them leave this Thursday. |
Maryk | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:31 pm     This is my favorite team. Like the way Millie came through in this episode! Go Millie and Chuck! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:41 pm     I'd say they are majorly stressed.. she gets an asthma attack and next week he gets a panic attack? Their bodies are telling them.. something is WRONG. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:46 pm     i think it's lack of sex. not that they have to have pre-marital sex, but c'mon--dating 12 years and can't commit? time to move on...or get married already! |
Lycanthrope | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:13 pm     Millie is awesome. Asthma sufferer and she bungee jumps in that climate...simply incredible. If Chuck doesn't marry her, there will be a line of suitors lined up to take his place. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 12:08 am     I'd disagree. Millie is short-sighted. If I have asthma and already had an attack that cost my team valuable time, I'd do everything I could to make sure another attack did not occur. That obviously would include bungee jumping at an incredible altitude. I was almost sure that they would show her going back down the elevator to take a puff of her inhaler. A very poor decision by both of them to have her do the road block. Kudos to Millie, however, for smacking pretty boy in the mouth and drawing blood. |
Bobbie_552001 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 04:18 am     This team was great last night...but I would have to agree with beachcomber regarding the bungee jump. I covered my eyes and peeked just a little when she was on the way down....I thought for sure that she was a goner...not a smart idea. And now that she has to spend 24 hours a day with Chuck she is no longer sure of the relationship??? Years and years of dating and she isn't sure?? Wake up you two!! |
Crazydog | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 08:05 am     I agree with beach and Bobbie. When you get to that huge tower, and see a little platform at the top, it's obvious what is going to be happening. The clue even said something like "you shouldn't be afraid of dangling by your feet". Chuck said, "that's me" and Millie said "but I'M still doing it!" Not a good decision on her part. Or his. |
Lycanthrope | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:04 am     I'm sticking with my original opinion. I think it was gutsy, not stupid, for her to do the jump. If she'd have chickened out and came back down w/o jumping, that would've been stupid, but she didn't. I guess I just like to see some fire in a person. |
Tabbyking | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:16 am     i thought it wasn't real smart not to have her inhaler with her at the top, when she had to ask for water. i was surprised she said she was doing it, too. if she had chickened out, they would have been screwed, because once you decide who does the roadblock that person has to do it. (at least, that's how i interpret it.) |
Grooch | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:26 am     Tabbyking, I wasn't sure, but I think Millie said something about they wouldn't let her bing it up there. I thought it was odd, but maybe they didn't want her jumping with it or something. Did anyone else hear her say that? |
Tabbyking | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:46 am     i thought she said, "i wish i had brought my inhaler up with me" but i didn't take it to mean she COULDN'T have. i thought perhaps she hadn't thought about it and left it below with her pack. |
Grooch | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:49 am     Oh, my, if that was the case (that is all I will say.). I thought she was nuts in the first place to jump after her first attack. I find the sound quality not that great with this show. I put on the cc captioning, but there is so much going on and so fast, that they can't keep up with all the talking. |
Dreamweaver | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:57 am     My impression was that they wouldn't let her bring her backpack up and the inhaler was in there. Think they would have let her have it if she had brought it up with her. |
Draheid | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:00 am     On the platform, Millie says, "I might need a little bit of water. I've been having Asthma and it's starting to go right now and I don't have my Asthma spray, they made me take it out of my pocket. <cough cough> Can you just give me a little water. <cough cough> It's my throat. <cough cough cough> <Deep breath> I wish I had my Asthma spray." Then she proceeds to the platform and jumps. Hope this helps. |
Grooch | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:17 am     Thanks, Drah. Now, I thought she did the <cough cough>> before she said the word pocket and not after.  |
Crazydog | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:29 am     I'm sure the operators of the bungee won't let you have anything in your pockets, if it fell out then something or someone below could get seriously damaged or hurt. While I think it would have been wrong of her to chicken out and go back down, I stand by my view that it was stupid of her to be the one doing it in the first place. It should have been obvious to them as soon as they got to the tower that they were going to bungee. I don't think it was gutsy of her to go through with it. She had no choice. But she shouldn't have even gotten herself into that position. Chuck should have been more assertive, he should have said, no, you just had an asthma attack, this might not be good for you, I will do it. 12 years and not even any close to committment? I think he's got issues, it's obvious that she wears the pants. |
Warrenn | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:52 am     You can be gutsy and stupid at the same time. It would have been a smarter choice for the team for Chuck to go. But once Millie was up there, it was gutsy for her to go through with the jump. |
Tabbyking | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:52 am     i also don't think she should have done it. however, since no one asked me, i guess they could do what they wanted! i was surprised when she said, "but i'll do it" after he said it sounded like him when they read the hint 'dangling by your feet'. from the pics of the amazing race preview party or whatever it's called, millie and chuck are still together. they will be 80 years old and playing bingo, and still not playing 'bango'..... |
Hermione69 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:57 am     Tabby, you crack me up!  |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 12:39 pm     I also say that it was still stupid of her to jump, but in addition, also very selfish. Clearly this is one that Chuck should have done, and in fact did volunteer for. But then Millie chimed in saying it was hers. Some of the road blocks are more thrilling than others, and this was obviously one of the more memorable ones. Who wants to look at colored masks when you can bungee jump? But didn't Millie _also_ do that road block? Hmmm. Doesn't seem very fair to me. Why was it her turn again? I agree Crazy, Chuck's not wearing the pants in this relationship. |
Tishala | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Maybe Ms Millie was pretending to be Erica Jong, trying to get over her "fear of flying." |
Crazydog | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:28 pm     Does anyone else think that Chuck has really bad hair? For some reason he is reminding me of the English tennis player Tim Henman. They have similar looks and equally bad hair. |
Bob2112 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:40 pm     O-69 |
Loraj | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:00 pm     I must be the only one who doesn't like Millie. Why did she feel the need to go after the same carraige as what's his name when there were 3? He was clearlyin the lead. Two others? Why bother? |
