Amazing race (potential spoiler)

Well the Amazing race is down to four thoroughly unlikeable teams. I was so disappointed the fast forward wasn't enough to save the only nice team left. You know it is bad when one team is worse than Rachel and Brendan, and the other two are nearly as bad. I can only hope the jackass border patrol agents are the ones who made the horrible mistake. If they aren't the worst humans who have run the amazing race I don't know who are.

I was pulling for the Kentucky guys.

I was surprised that Rachel wouldn't shave her head. I hope they lose just because of that and she has to remember what might have been.

I kinda like the border patrol guys. I don't want the Big Brothers to win and I don't want the soldier and his wife to win, and I would be okay with the other m/f team (can't remember their names), but I think I'd rather see the border patrol team win.

But the only team that I'd be totally sorry to see win is Rachel and Brendan. I don't like it when professional reality show contestants go on other shows. I'm fed up with her whining and her tears.

But it's only a tv show.

they had gotten off to an earlier start, they might have been able to use the Fast Forward to beat the others. The heat really took it out of them in that last challenge. But they really are one of the weaker teams. In some seasons, there have been more than a few strong teams, but I don't think there have been that many this time. Yeah, it's great to see nice people win, but they also need to be competitive.

I laughed at the agents and how tired they were during the ginger challenge. They love to make fun of others but that task kicked their butts!

is really insecure so I was not surprised at all that she couldn't do it. I know that Rachel and Brendon are acting pretty happy on Twitter all though the show. Also Vanessa/Ralph and Art and JJ are still being nasty to them on Twitter.
One other thing.. all the other teams love Rachel and Brendon except the two mentioned above. Mark and Bopper in their post game interviews have said some nice things about Rachel. Also, B/R and Mark/Bopper have socialized post-game.

I am pulling for Brendon and Rachel because it will piss off a lot of people. LOL

I find all of them annoying.

Dave and Rachel are a terrible team because that seem to show every characteristic of a bad marriage that you can have. He is misogynistic, verbally abusive and mean spirited. She is self centered and enabled his abusive qualities by her self deprecation.

Vanessa and Ralph are just terrible people. they seem to hate everyone. She is superficial and mean spirited. He is verbally abusive and violent. I think together they bring out the worst in each other.

Art and JJ are two frat guys and typical self centered asshats. I think they do damage to law enforcement everywhere by showing the stereotypical abusive and mean spirited cop characters. I can see them in a movie playing a "bad cop" team. They like to talk bad about everyone. I really do not like them.

Brachel. I wanted so much to hate them, and I succeeded. She is self centered, superficial and mean. He is conceited and mean too. Together, they make me so annoyed. Plus, her voice is like fingernails on a blackboard to me.

While I dislike them all, sadly I think the team I dislike the least is Brachel. But since I really want all of them to lose, I am hoping that at the end the producers announce since they are all evil, for the first time there will be no winner.

I totally agree, dr.strangelove!

Funny, I know all the names of the remaining 8 Survivors, but the only name I know on TAR, is Rachel!

I have not watched the last two episodes yet, but I have them DVR'ed. I have hated this season. I do not like any of the characters. I think they are all just bad players. Once I catch up I'll post a thread about the season. but this season might just be my last.

I love that the women are strong and booted out the guys. I think Kim and Chelsea are great players.
Kim is doing great. She has outwitted, outplayed everyone so far. I hope the jury isn't bitter because if she makes it to the end, she deserves to win.

she is more strategic than I expected. There's a good lounge thread about last night's episode.
