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.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

Because books.
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!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If they put me on Big Brother, they would soon have to change the name to Big Mass Murder.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor: Colton is the biggest tool in tool land.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

Amazing Race: not actually couples' therapy.
