Seamonkey | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:32 pm     Yeah, I liked that too. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:56 pm     still don't care for them, but still find them entertaining. |
Lycanthrope | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:08 pm     Looks like they're going to stir things up a bit next week with Steve and Dave. Should be fun. |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:31 pm     Tian is obviously the brains and muscle of this team. Jaree is too stubborn to even lighten her backpack. I thought it was funny when NFLwives were running with them - Tian looked back, and off in the distance, blurry and out of focus, was Jaree. |
Bobbie_552001 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 04:26 am     So...the question is....was it one of them who had the quote "is this potty water" ?? |
Crazydog | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 08:10 am     I'm impressed that Beach knows which one is which. Which is the one that keeps yelling at the other one, is that Tian? The one that yelled at the other one on the train and then stormed away, flipping her hair? That was great, such a 'model' thing to do. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Yeah, hard to tell. I think on the pic up above, Tian is on the left and Jaree is on the right. I'm surprised to read that Tian is the lesbian. I would have thought it was Jaree (aka the one who can't do cardio). |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 11:54 pm     Tian and Jaree are my favorite team. I like Tian's competitiveness. Loved when she made the comment that she was as strong as all the guys. Jaree really seemed to have kicked things up a notch this week. Just hope that they don't fall apart next week like the preview suggests. Knowing CBS and their notorious editing, this probably means that they are safe. Their use of the Fast Forward when they were very behind was the first "smart" use so far, as all the other teams have used it to try to gain a time advantage. I thought the picture puzzle was one of the more difficult ones. Certainly more difficult than the Air Traffic Guys/Venetian play or the champagne waltz thing. |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 12:10 am     I like them. And they didn't do anything wrong when they parked where they were told, or when they didn't spend the night there when told not to do so. |
Lycanthrope | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:00 am     Tian is one very cool woman. I really like her. Strangely, I find myself rooting for the 2 all female teams... |
Crazydog | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:06 am     Yes I like them as well, and they are my second favorite team behind Monica and Sheree. I agree with Beach that it was a very smart use of the Fast Forward. They knew they were behind and didn't want to risk getting eliminated. I liked how they carried the picture to the finish mat. I also think they did absolutely nothing wrong in the whole cars in line incident. They were one of the first teams to arrive the night before and were told they could not park overnight. Then they simply parked where they were told to. |
Calamity | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:10 am     Hey! Why is it strange to be rooting for the female teams?! I like T&J too although they seem to be almost as aimless as the Twins were in the early legs of AR3. Tian is definitely carrying this team. |
Beachcomber88 | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:25 am     I can see why all the other teams would be pissed at them for parking where they were told. They had no idea that they had arrived hours before everyone, and then to see them drive up to the front - I'd probably think it was unfair too. Kudos to Tian for letting all the cars pass by them first. What was the big deal about who entered the gate/bridge first? That's what I was wondering the whole time I was listening to whiny "don't question my integrity" Reichen and slimy Soprano "check your tires, ladies" White haired man. It's not as if the first car through would get the chance to do a task first and everyone would have to wait until they were done. It was probably only a twenty second difference which proved to be negligible. |
Grooch | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:29 am     Well, I hope the other teams all felt like jerks when they watched it last night. |
Seamonkey | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:34 am     Beach, I'm sure I would have been upset too, but I also think that we would have listened to T/J and R/C and realized that they DID get there first. As for the advantage of going first, as it turned out, not a bit, really, but they didn't know .. it could have been one of those arbitrary things like the carriages, where they let them through in groups. Grooch, yes!!! I hope they felt embarrassed last night. |
Crazydog | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 08:57 am     Yes, after the carriage fiasco I think from now on all the teams will be very carefully guarding their place in line. |
Lycanthrope | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 09:54 am     Calamity, my statement was quite tongue in cheek...I ALWAYS root for women in these reality shows It's just my nature. |
Lumbele | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 09:59 am     Letting the others go by was a good PR move, but I am still on the fence as to whether it was necessary. Being told by the powers that be to park at the front was not their doing and as ? (don't know who's who yet either) pointed out it's a race and you take every break you can get. The other teams were understandably upset, but it was their choice to camp out there which caused the order to park on the side of the road. Would they have had a fit if some tourist had been told to park up front? So far I can't find anything about this team to make me root for them, entertainment value aside. Why these two teamed up in the first place is a mystery to me. |
Fanny | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:46 am     I didn't care for them at first but they've grown on me. These two and the "our husbands are professional athletes" team are my favorites. During the parking confrontation, I kept waiting for T&J to tell everbody they'd arrived hours before the rest of 'em, they'd been told when they arrived they couldn't park there, and so back off they SHOULD be at the head of the line. Probably a politically smart thing to do, let everyone go before them. |
Essence | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:57 am     I'm still torn on these two. I like one of them for their spunk (can't tell who is who). I'm rooting for them because they are one of the all girl teams, and I don't see anything wrong in them driving to the front of the line (when they were told to do so). I wouldn't have let the other teams go before me (but that's just me). What I don't like about them is how they are always arguing with each other, and I don't particularly like the slacker's attitude on a lot of issues. I think they are more on my like list than don't like. |
Hermione69 | Friday, June 20, 2003 - 11:23 am     I like these two a lot more than I thought I would. They are number two on my list right now. However, I can sense an instability with them and I can imagine them going to pieces as a team rather easily in the wrong situation. |
Duncan | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 09:02 pm     I can't tell them apart, either....I figure by the time I know which is which, they will either be eliminated or will have won. LOL. I find watching them kind of painful....it is almost as bad as watching my teenage kids bicker....I find myself going back and forth between rooting for them and wishing they would lose. Interestingly enough, that line in the bio about Tian "liking girls" has gone missing from their bio on the CBS site. |
Beachcomber88 | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 10:32 pm     Tian is the one who, surprisingly, had thoughts on giving up. She was seated in the back of the car when she had the voice-over comment about not wanting to be eliminated but yet she felt she had to prove a point. She was also the one that did the eel road block and made the comment that Jaree has doesn't a single one yet. And at the end, Jaree made the comment that Tian had wanted to be eliminated. I am very surprised by Tian's actions this week. Jaree really seemed to have picked it up and wanted to race, while Tian has perhaps tired of her teammate. It doesn't bode well for them. Was that a quick clip of them crying and hugging each other for next week? Maybe they'll renew their bond and race harder. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 11:25 pm     still not liking this duo. what immature adults. reminds me of flo...and wil and tara or frank and margaretta. no one wants to see this. did we want to see it with ian and teri? i think not! oh, by the way, i wonder if flo was eating lunch in the bay area yesterday.lol.. my daughter and i were at lunch and my daughter said, "don't turn around, but there is a girl who looks just like flo sitting in a booth on the right side. she is even swearing and complaining about some guy. she didn't say zach or drew, though; i think she said bob." i pretended to have to use the ladies room and when i came back i took a good look and she sure did look like flo...still a yapping and a complaining, too! |
Bobbie_552001 | Friday, June 27, 2003 - 04:11 am     I wanted to take both of them and turn them over my knee. Its getting to the point that everytime they show a clip of them, I get up and find something to do....I was even rooting for the air traffic controllers last evening. |
