GoodBye Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Light-colored eyes on a dark-haired woman always freaks me out a little. I dunno. I'm sure I could get used to it tho. Rachel may have the personality of a battle-axe but what Vanessa was going on and on about there ("I can see her entire ______" Did they bleep "ass"... or was she saying she could see something else? ) was really unnecessary to give voice to. I, too, don't get this impression, Rico. E.g. last night they were saying 'If we don't get first place with this lead time something is wrong with us' since they finished the watermelon challenge so quickly while everyone else was having difficulty. They didn't say they'd finish first because everyone else sucks, they were talking about their own gameplay. Now, if you want to talk about who thinks they're better than others, why don't we point to Brachel's use of "poopyheads." I'm glad we finally made it through an episode without hearing the phrase "tears of a clown." What's up with the eliminations on three of three legs? Phil's showing no mercy! There's gotta be a break next week. And I'm expecting something that will level the timeline. First team showed in bright noon sun; last team came to the mat in darkness. I'm going to call it. If I'm right, you all owe me a trip to Maui! I need to get out of this rain!! Anyway, when Brachel come in last, that's when Phil will come up with the non-elimination round. He will only do this because he knows how much I can't stand that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel is far too powerful to need any such help. They will continue to finish among the top 3 every leg until they win in the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I used to really dislike Rachel when watching her on Big Brother. Constant fawning over Brendon. Breaking down and crying all the time and so on. But the second time she was on Big Brother I kinda grew to respect her. Despite her seemingly weekly emotional break downs, she always pulls it together and win challenges, just like she's doing well on them in Amazing Race. Also, near the end of Big Brother she really showed a determination to make it to the end(teaming up with Jordan) despite being outnumbered. And it seems like her loyalty to whomever she's with seems unwavering. I know I'm in the minority but I really kinda like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up wanting her to win BB the second time around, and even though she is a drama queen she does have some resolve that you have to admire. I think it's funny how Brandon coddles her every time, though, until she's over it...he's a huge sap, but they seem to work as a couple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, by using her faking crying and whining to get her way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clippers of Nfl Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 i hate that crying b*** the first time i noticed it was her with the problem was like 3 weeks ago when her guy mentioned a comment or a mistake, and she started crying. she then said, "you promised you wouldnt do this to me" I actually had to rewind to find out what he did. Guess what? The guy didnt do anything. He simply stated how something could have been done better. He didnt put her down. He didnt yell. I love all women to death, generally speaking. But that's one trait I hate about a woman. Expecting too much and being over sensitive. Its like her guy has to be perfect all the time. And that just aint right.

bills44 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 "Amazing Race is supposed to be fun and good" :cry: :cry: Rachel is a !@#$ing whiny idiot. I don't know how her boyfriend/fiance/husband hasn't dumped her ass yet. cool move by Border Patrol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 That was indeed a cool move by the border patrol douches, dropped them from hatred to dislike. Close call for the Hillbillies, glad they are still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I can't stand Brenchel, probably the most annoying team in Amazing Race history. I can not wait until they are gone. Vanessa is one funny gal. I am liking her more and more. Dave & Rachel are a strong team, but Dave needs to stop bickering. Whew! Thank goodness this was a non-elimination leg, the hillbillies are still in it. That was a classy move by the border patrol team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thank you...finally someone who agrees with me! He's not the only one. Brandon(?) is a complete and utter *. Just like that, some little thing doesn't go their way and he's like 'We should quit the race.' He isn't fly-off-the-wall angry, from what I've seen --- he says crap like this very coolly. Which to me makes him more of an * because I can partly understand saying things when someone is really pissed and worked up. And frankly, I'm not sure what he does have to be mad at. Rachael, while she is a whiny be-atch, has mostly kicked butt in the roadblocks and stuff. I don't know whether to say that she'd be like this without him (her thing with Vanessa has me thinking that no, Rachael is just a be-atch); I get the sense that their relationship is like vinegar and baking soda. Apart they may be somewhat stable (if volatile) but when mixed together, they erupt. But I'm not qualified here. Anyone who can comment who watched BB? The Army dude and his wife aren't far behind in the dysfunction department. That dude needs to chilax a bit. They went a little heavy in the in-show endorsements with the Ford Focus, but this is one time where it was actually pretty cool with the park assist thing. It works. It actually works. Now we just need autopilot cars (and pray that these companies don't offer a 'Drive like a Mass-hole' function ). That was a nice gesture from the Border Patrol guys. They finished early with the express pass and hung around for Bopper and Mark when they could've banked that and gone to the hotel or whatever for some ZZZs. That was a bad break for the Kentuckys that they missed the travel agency. Something small and it really screwed them for everything this leg. Still annoyed by their accents, but they've grown on me as people and yes, I enjoy their attitude of being happy just being together. Maybe a lot of people on AR don't wear it on their sleeves nearly as much, but they all signed up for it with someone they know and like/love. And while it's sometimes easy to forget this as they're in the heat of things, this race will always be a big part of their relationships in those "Remember that time...?" moments.

Fezmid Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The most important question from the episode -- What was that bright yellow car in the car museum in Turin? That thing was AMAZING looking! Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeeeeeeeaaaaah Hillbillies, nice comeback! LMAO at Brenden bustin his ass in front of Phil.

Clippers of Nfl Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 i hate the white guy from the border patrol duo. he was pissed off like he was last on that ice gnome challenge. i wanted to slap his face a couple of times. it appears as if everyone completed the challenge in under 20 throws. like take a chill pill mofo. the fbi agents are not representing the fbi right!!!!! 2 weeks ago the pretty fbi agent couldnt repel off a rope when all the teams did it with ease, except 1 other team. last week the ugly fbi agent took more than 169 (if im not mistaken)throws. moms struggled and did it in about 70 throws (i believe)?? then they go to the wrong castle. they didnt think to ask anyone. About the only thing they did right was get to the mat first before moms. i see them as a pretty weak team. they could stay another leg or 2, but not to win.

Dante Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Damn I usually like who everyone else likes. Not this season. I really like Rachel because although she whines she always gets it together when it counts. She has a lot of heart. The border guys are tough competitors and confident and slightly arrogant . I guess that's what turns people off. Showed a lot of heart by giving half the money to the Kentuckians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they were pissed after they gave the $ away & found out the Hillbillies were still in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I thought there was a rule that only one team could attempt the Fast Forward at a time, or is that only certain FF? With that said, I thought it was bad that Dave had Rachel stacking the hay while he simply dropped them. If the guidos had beat them, I'd place the loss right on him.
