That was a lovely thing for the border patrol guys to do.
I called the nonelim about halfway in, so I thought it was great that Phil let them go through with it! They looked surprised, but who knows.
Man, I've never seen Big Brother, but Rachel seems...emotionally fragile for this show. And being asked to taste 8 different kinds of salami is the breaking-point task??? Bales of hay! 2 lbs of caviar! That season where a bunch of teams accidentally drove into North Korea and then had to wrestle alligators! Seriously, salami?
She's emotionally fragile for life. At least when Brendon's around. Without him, she's still obnoxious but much less prone to meltdowns. And she can be a fierce competitor. You just don't know which one of her you'll get from moment to moment.
But seriously, "I thought this was going to be fun"?? Does she not watch the show? There is a reason I would be on BB but not TAR! (And that reason is that I am lazy.)
Hah--I'm the other way around but I know I'd at some point on TAR breakdown, when hungry and stressed and tired! But big Brother is creepy and I'd get annoyed by the other people.

Oh god yes. I know TAR would be stressful and difficult and make me want to cry, but the idea of being locked in a house with total strangers and then PUT ON TV??? I would rather be tortured with a chainsaw.
Yeah, just the idea of Big Brother is creepy to me. I've never even watched it. And I think at this point there's no way I'd do Survivor, either. But TAR? If I had the stamina, I would absolutely try out, even knowing I would probably be astounded at how much harder it is than it even looks.
On BB, I would get tan and smoke and talk shit all day. I could totally do that for a summer!
If they put me on Big Brother, they would soon have to change the name to Big Mass Murder.
Survivor: Colton is the biggest tool in tool land.
TAR: Definitely sweet at the mat. The border patrol guys might be growing on me, their confidence aside. I guess I'd like to see them under real pressure again, but I think it might not be a problem for them, given their everyday work.
But seriously, "I thought this was going to be fun"?? Does she not watch the show?
SERIOUSLY! I sometimes think she *has* watched the show and thinks she's supposed to melt down at some point, but doesn't realize just how difficult and fatigued she's going to get, so she just keeps choosing stuff to melt down over. And hello, threatens our marriage? Way to expand your problems.
The military couple is getting a little upsetting. I think it's probably realistic, but it seems like they just have no way of communicating through a problem. She seems tough enough to stand up to him, but they don't get to the heart of the problem, on either side, just kinda power through.
