Cathy Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 They have a pretty good chance on winning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarB Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hope they are out quickly!! Although I would not mind seeing her have at least one meltdown, and maybe hide in a bush... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Califcyclone Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I find Brendon's occupational description a bit suspect. Over the past two year's exactly how much time has he spent on finding the cure for cancer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 6Borders Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Brendon is the worst kind of "professional student"...they just keep getting one grant after another and never really doing anything (except wasting time and that money while off being a "professional reality tv idiot). UCLA is never getting another dime of my money for research!!I find Brendon's occupational description a bit suspect. Over the past two year's exactly how much time has he spent on finding the cure for cancer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tkdog1 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I thought she said once she cannot drive so I can see the meltdown now. Him driving and her "trying" to read the map and tell him where they need to go. Should be epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest 6Borders Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I think she got a bunch of tickets and even laughed about being a terrible driver, or Brendon won't let her drive. In her defense I'm sure it would be hard to drive and pile on all that war-paint and fix your hair extensions at the same time.On BB Brendon was ragging on her about not paying tickets before the show and she said someone was in charge of them or she just assumed someone was going to pay them for her and he was really mad (actually one of their more entertaining spats...lol!!)I really can't see them doing that well (unless TAR helps the heck out of them off camera and gives them inside info) because they are too emotional and neither one is good under pressure.I thought she said once she cannot drive so I can see the meltdown now. Him driving and her "trying" to read the map and tell him where they need to go. Should be epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevea11 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, second place. I'm im/depressed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fatcat Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I was busy on the puter and forgot to set the time for it to record longer as I knew golf would run over, sooo I missed the last 20 minutes, guess I can re watch it when the vid comes out online. It will be interesting to say the least how these 2 will get along with each other and the other contestants, oh yeah,lololol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevea11 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Judging by the previews for next week Rachael looks like she will dip back into BB mode. Not gonna work here sweetie. It's put up or carry your sequined ass home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 6Borders Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 TAR did all but hand them the express pass, so I was happy the other team got in there first.I'm sure Rachel is ok with 2nd place for now but the minute they have a problem or other teams start kicking up their game I predict Rachel will be right back in her "we are fighting so hard...everyone is against us...!!!!" routine! Maybe they will visit Switzerland so she will have some swiss cheese to go with her whine.Notice Brendon IS doing the driving!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mendes56 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wow, second place. I'm im/depressed.I was just happy they didn't get the express pass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 6Borders Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I hope they come in last next week and get eliminated so I can enjoy the rest of the show! (I'm certain they will have a non-elimination leg the minute they come in last cos TAR does not want them to get elim right away!!!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tkdog1 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Rachel meltdown coming soon. They showed her getting into it with another female racer and we all know how that ends. Should be crying in a bush real soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarB Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hated that they came in second, but would have hated it SOOOOO much more if they had been first and received the express pass! Can't wait for a meltdown and/or bush crying!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Call me crazy but I have not hardly paid attention to TAR the last 2 seasons but watched last night to see B&R. I kinda like having BB couple on TAR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 6Borders Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Marty...you troublemaker LMAO!!!!We all know how I hate bring-back's or ppl from other shows but if it had to be anyone Brendon and Rachel are about last on my list...right below Russel and Little Hantz...hehehehe!!!
