Plus, this time the producers aren't changing the show mid-stream to keep them around.
Holy shit... what is wrong with this woman? She breaks down every 5 minutes.
Brendon and Rachel are two awful human beings. Really disappointed that CBS asked them to go on another show.
She should just be happy that a. CBS rigged Big Brother just enough to allow her pathetic ass to win and b. They gave her a shot of winning another $1 mil on top of the $500k that was already handed to her on another CBS show.
edit: OF COURSE they survive...
LOL @ Phil's reaction. "Argghh, this crazy woman is going to stay..."

Lol @ B&R. So many breakdowns.
That's really cool of art and JJ to give their $10,000 to bopper.

They really are. Nobody else would have the patience to put up with either one of them.
Rachel clearly has issues. Brendan is ok as a human being, but doormat is a really good metaphor.
Just saw that, I love laughing at their expense.

Heh, you weren't kidding.
And I think I've been spending too much time on GAF. The first thing I thought was, "think of the GIF potential!"

How anyone could stand to be around Rachel more than 5 minutes is beyond my fucking comprehension. And to bring a person with a personality like that to a competitive race is otherworldly in terms of rational thought.
That guy she's with is either a saint with the patience of Christ him self or a god damn masochist to put up with that bullshit and to even think about putting a ring on her. I'm leaning towards the latter...
Love mark and Bopper. I don't usually like competitors on these types of shows who are just there for the fun of it, but these guys are just way too likable. I don't see them getting much further but I hope they make it all the way.
Also, Vanessa is a bitch. You can tell she's one of those girls that rarely get's told to shut the fuck up because of how pretty she is. I'd want her to kick rocks just as much as Rachel and her handbag boyfriend, but since she's only been mean to them I'm willing to let her bitchiness slide.

this season is really boring to me. i dunno if it's because the format is beginning to get stale, i mean i have been watching this show since season 1 for over a decade now. or no stand out likable team imo, but something about this season has me keeping eps on my dvr longer and longer before i watch them.
Its the people and teams. Very terrible, annoying, and boring. Almost like some of them dont even exist. Noone stands out at all.
Needs more Flight Time and Big Easy.

I'm thinking tonight will be non-elimination due to the presence of the Fast Forward.
Dave seems to be trying his darnedest to subconsciously self-destruct his team with Rachel. I'm thinking the Jersey boys have this leg sealed.
EDIT: Looks like I spoke too soon. Rachel kicked some serious butt there. Still only two teams in the race have won legs.

That's the really sad statistic of the season.

This was probably the worst episode of the entire season in terms of being deadly dull and predictable. At least the Jersey boys are gone.

People may still underestimate them in tougher physical challenges. Any small advantage it still an advantage.

man this is one of my favorite shows but almost every episode this season has started late.

that has always been the case with amazing race. it always starts late in fall-winter because of football, and spring because of college basketball, and golf.
btw I not a fan of big brother team at all, I can't stand Rachel, but I feel bad how everyone is ganging up on them.
Who knows? They've been consistently terrible, finishing close to last. They have never really done well in challenges. Honestly, it is just silly because at this point, people know who their competitors are based on their performances, not their occupations.
Since I don't watch Big Brother, I don't know what the whole deal is with this Rachel and Brandon Team. Sure she is a bit excentric but all in all she is a whole lot more likeable than that Vanessa bitch. Sorry but everytime this woman opens her mouth I want to punch her really hard. I really enjoyed watching her being unable to ride a bike, my evilside hoped for her falling in something disgusting or so.
Yet they finished last because they couldn't get the tent up due to physical limitations. They passed up the chance to play mind games with the other teams, which was a mistake, I think.
Funny, I have the opposite take on it. I lol'd when Vanessa dropped that "I am 38, and I still look younger than you" line on her.

They're not even trying to pretend Nary and Jamie aren't getting eliminated tonight, are they?
Would have rather had them eliminated last week if this week was going to be entirely without suspense.
Hopefully they'll get sped through the sightseeing tour and Brendon & Rachel have to wait an eternity for water. (Unless they U-Turn Art & JJ.)

So that's where all those D.A.R.E. shirts went!
I think the editors gave up on the season.

Technically, they're ahead of Vanessa and Ralph and the water task clearly takes longer but Nary & Jamie are so terrible at almost everything... plus they have a speed bump... so I'm pretty sure they're toast.

It might just be that I DVR more on Sunday now but I don't ever remember it being this bad.(and I have watched every season) I think maybe 2 episodes started on time, and even worse it starts about 55minutes late.
caught up on the internet, can't believe im going for the country guys.

Methinks some strings were pulled to keep those two in the race.

Clearly.
Three non-elimination legs? Hmm...
I don't mind it though, I like that they didn't give up, and they are both genuinely likable.
It's either that or be left with Team Passive Agressive, the two Border Patrol Assholes, Fucking Rachel, and Vanessa and Ralph as the final four.
yeah they're the only guys in the race people can like.
all the other teams are assholes, but these two guys actually care about each other and are happy to be in the race.
i knew it would be non-elimination when i heard phil say 'may be eliminated' and then they spent so much time building up mark and bopper as losing the race and then showing the montage before they were officially counted out.

of course. there are 3 undetermined non elimination legs in each race. the producers will decide when to make a leg non elimination depending on who they want to save definitely.
I think nowadays he always says "may".
There were also my thoughts, not that some may or not be pre-decided sometimes. But it makes sense to try and keep the audience engaged.
Yeah the only time I think he stops saying that is once there are no more non-elimination legs left.
While I am happy they were saved and didn't give up I am thinking it is going to be like the agents where they are going to be so far back it will be pretty much impossible for them to get back in it.
