How can you hate Rachel?Show content(http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff465/Aitutonga/Rachelgoddesswalk.gif):lol: :lol:
Ok, I've been lurking here for awhile. Love the site and it's insight on the various TAR shows around the world.:welcome: to RFF carlsbad_bolt_Fan!
When I saw that Brenchel was POSSIBLY one of the teams I cringed. When I saw the CBS meet the teams and realized they were ACTUALLY on this season... :gaah:
I followed big brother and I COULD NOT STAND EITHER ONE OF THEM. That's all I'm gonna say.

Prediction: First messy/disgusting roadblock Rachel has to do, they are done.
Give someone else a chance to win the money instead of the same couples.

Oh well, guess I'm the only one who loves them <333
Hey I love Brenchel too, glad someone else does. :conf:

WE ARE MILLIONS. <33333333
And after several uneventful seasons of The Amazing Race, we're ready for Brenchel to inject some much-needed adrenaline into the reality series' 20th competition.
Rachel: Amazing race is supposed to be fun and good. :res:
I'm okay with Brendon but Rachel seems to be this emotional psycho freak. I guess and speculate they will be in the F6 but not so sure about F3. :lol:QuoteRachel: Amazing race is supposed to be fun and good. :res:
It is. Just without you on the race.
I'm okay with Brendon but Rachel seems to be this emotional psycho freak. I guess and speculate they will be in the F6 but not so sure about F3. :lol:
It's official. Reality cross-over teams </////////////////////3Hey...I happened to like the last couple of cross over teams that have appeared on the race (:;)
Unless it's like Parvy and Amanda. :lol:
Unless it's like Parvy and Amanda. :lol:That would be great! :hrt:
ive never watched american big brother and i dont understand how players from it can be strategic, in the australian version housemates were fined just for discussing who to nominate and whatever even if they used subtle code names. there was very little room for strategy.American BB is COMPLETELY different from any other BB. Here, it's more of a Survivor-esque game.
:res: :res: :res: :res: :res: :res: :res:
Haters gonna hate! Floaters grab a lifevest! :lol3:
PLEASE WIN LEG 3!! :lol:

Producer: Having won more competitions than any other contestant on CBS’ “Big Brother” and currently kicking ass with fiance Brendon Villegas on “The Amazing Race,” Rachel Reilly is primed for the most daunting challenge imaginable: stand-up comedy.

I really like this team, especially Rachel. She's rock! :jam: But, the weird thing is I don't want them to win the race. I don't know why, though. :duno:Maby because they already have won a half million dollars :duno:
Has it occurred to anyone that Brendon and Rachel - especially Rachel - are totally playing to the camera and the TV audience? That from BB and watching TAR they know very well that drama - real or false - is what gets a team airtime? And they've figured out that even if they don't win, the more face time and notoriety they achieve, the more they will be able to parley that face time into other projects later? EXACTLY how they are now here after BB!
Just think about how, despite the supposed breakdowns and arguments, they keep competently moving through the tasks. Think about how others have commented on the breakdowns having no apparent cause. That's because they aren't real. They are playing a game within a game!
Apparently everyone else is negative and she is a ray of sunshine :lol3:
Rachel is terrible in come backs. :lol:

kungfuwoman,
You are entitled to your opinion, but give me a break! Rachel (partner to Brendon) is a whiny brat who is into manipulation.
This is based solely on what I have seen in Amazing Race 20, as I have no interest in what she did on BigBrother.

All of it is in self defense. Most of her hate is unwarranted IMO
I agree with you, except that Brendon doesn't manage her. He is overbearing and makes it worse. But yes she is the ultimate drama queen and actor.If that's the case, then you shouldn't like these guys.
Dave can get uptight, but White Rachel balances him <333333Whuh? White Rachel? Like BB Rachel is afro american or hispanic. :res: BB Rachel is white too.

Prophet, Rachel is not an actor, she is not a drama queen, thats Vanessa.
Um excuse me, I was defending Rachel :res: I said she attacks on gameplay and NEVER personally, unlike Vanessawitch. :res: :res:
ETA: I did the "memory lane" thing because all her hate is from her legacy that she left behind on Big Brother. Ktia

First of all, there is no "hate" here at all. No one hates Rachel; SHE is the one that has spoken that word, not others (witness: "Let them drink their Hateorade"). Nothing that has been done by any of the teams at any time warrants such a strong emotion.
Second, I (and I believe some other commentators) have not watched so much as a second of Big Brother. I am basing my assessment (not "hate") purely on what we have been shown in TAR20.
Third, taking a simple assessment and calling it "hate" is itself a manipulative technique.
Fourth, I am only talking about Rachel here, not Vanessa. You are in effect saying that Rachel is good because Vanessa is even worse. That is a totally invalid and illogical argument.
Fifth, I'm not going to change your mind, and you are not going to change mine. So perhaps we should just stop now and let others talk.
Rachel is special,hatred is just jealous :groan:

Art & JJ/Davchel/Vanessa all "dislike" her for no reason. Brenchel never did anything to them. What actions have made you dislike them? None. Yes she cries, but every team on the race has cried.
Prophet, Davchel likes Brenchel, you shouldn't be a hatin.
On the rtvzone show from a few weeks ago Kaylani said that having been Rachel's best friend for several years she thought it was interesting to see Vanessa confront her and "knock her off her high horse." That's how I feel about it, I don't like Vanessa and her meanness but it was funny to see her shut Rachel up.
Rachel .... Rachel is true friend and good person anyone who hated her on tv and then met her and Brendon in real life have said they are great people i bet you couldnt say that about some other reality stars that are on TAR20 right now.
I don't think any teams really hate Davechel :lol:
They were tough on Rachel in that Bollywood task, I thought she looked quite good first time.Yeah, apparently she jumped too high or something if we are to base it on the mistake TAR editors highlighted on the show:
It's Kandace :tup: :lol:-_-
I meant you spelled her name with an I. :lol:Oh... :groan:
Rachel is a nice person who isn't good under pressure.Bravo, bravo! :hearts:
So is Dave Brown :lol:
I think this is my favorite picture of her :lol3: She looks like she is being lowered as live bait :lol3:
So I'm right if Rachel wins TAR she would be the first person to win two popular reality shows in the same season and in this. Case even though she's teammates with Brendon you would have to say that Rachel has once again been the dominating of the 2 on the tasks.Even though Brendon has ran marathons and was a swim coach Rachel has been the star of the star of Tar20 along with Mark and Bopper no matter if they win or not.Granted the Boring Rachel and her annoying husband won the majority of the 1st place legs and even if they lose because of a mistake if that's what happens Rachel has done great on the race also without having won a 1st place leg along with Brendon.The haters of theirs will always hate them and not give them their props or Rachel even if it was brenchel who had won all those legs.No matter what place they finish or if they win realty and tv. Watchers need to finally give brenchel/Rachel her due in being a great competeor and realty star.Wow, the star of the star of Tar20(??)... She probably would not have gotten past Episode 2 if it wasn't for Mark giving her the answer at the RB. In addition, Brendon was also forever having to calm and comfort her and talk her through her breakdowns. You must have been a superfan of Flo as well, she contributed just as much (air time).

Rachel was the one who began the famous fight at the airport in their way to Tanzania. Brendon and Ralph were talking on a civilized way, until she participated of the discussion ("listen, why don't you both get out of our faces?"), and everything blew up (with some little disinterested help of Art & JJ :lol:).
I tend to agree that Rachel was not an innocent lamb in that conflict, but Vanessa had plenty to do with it.
Rachel doesn't need Vanessa but Vanessa clearly thought she needed Rachel.
The other teams are not lying Bitchy Vanessa, jealous boring rachel and the Bully patrol all were against brenchel/Rachel from before show started.If it wasn't for Brenchel and Team KY this season would have been one of the most boring ever.Who wants to see Team Bullies and Robo Dave and Yawn wife win all the legs NoOne unless your their family!Granted Bullys were worse with Vanessa then Team Military But Brenchel were good enough to make it to the finals.And those fans who have followed them and Rachel for 2 yrs know that they are not only the most kindest and caring human beings to ever be on reality tv and treat their fans like their friends they hangout with but Phil said the same thing about them in his tv guide interview along with Team ky and the majority of racers on this season.The same hateful fans who just love to watch rachel on tv wouldn't have a life if they didn't have spread their hate on every website they can find.But CBS knew what they were doing Rachel is Tv gold and watching her win and having all those haters crying or angry will be my biggest thrill ever I can't wait. :umn:

You just don't get it, do you? Until you can wrap your head around the fact that THERE IS NO HATE FOR RACHEL, that some of us merely find her childish and irritating, then there is no possibility of having a rational discussion with you.
And please note that it is you who insists on giving derogatory labels to certain teams and people - demonstrating the very "hate" for them that you find so distasteful when you imagine it directed at Rachel.

Well said, BlueSky.
But just a question for Kungfu because I must have missed something. I can't seem to recall one time in either the aired shows or the extra videos where Rachel B acted or said something inferring jealousy of Rachel R. Can you let me know what I missed.

While Rachel is a strong, motivated person, as well as a strong competitor, her personality is so overbearing and 'in your face!' that it turns many people off. "We're not here to make friends.... NObody come between me and MY million dollars!" She is a poor winner in so many ways and is an even poorer loser. I'd bet you'd have seen a lot more of the BB 'YAY... <sob>... YAY... <sob>' if they actually had 24/7 coverage of her the entire race.
Bluesky stop your trolling & Brenchel jealousy.
How on earth do you figure that?
Very simple. The focus is already on Rachel, people know her and are interested (like or dislike). Vanessa however is completely unknown, so a way to get camera time is obviously to try and antagonize Rachel and get a reaction. Even on Facebook after the show Vanessa is still doing the same things. Very few people on the race itself who saw things first hand even support Vanessa, the only people who do seem to be are those on the outside who think she is 'hot' (though I think she is overrated there anyway) or just like her as she dislikes Rachel.
Bluesky stop your trolling & Brenchel jealousy.
Brenchel will win TAR . Done.
Brenchel will win TAR . Done.OOPS, lol
RACHEL is still amazing and is an amazing competitor <333 They made up time surprisingly fast!
Brenchel willFixed!win TARbring up the rear as usual. Done.
Brenchel willFixed!win TARbring up the rear as usual. Done.
Honestly, how their final placement surprises anyone is beyond me.
Rachel got an awful edit and Brendon a very good one. They only ever seemed to show Rachel's reaction to Brendon and not what caused it. So missing the coach we never saw what actually led up to it. So annoying that the edit has been so biased through the whole season, I wish the producers didn't just cater to those who want to hate Rachel.p
and this time no teams with extensive training aka military and police training i still think that was why both teams won all those tasks.If not for them I think Brenchel and Team KY could easily have been the top two teams of the season.
one team that maybe the most winningist but the most bland and boring team to win the race after Megan and shayne.Uchenia and Joyce are the example couple of a winning team and they will be rememberd in 5 years over Rachel and Dave ( i predict their marriage wont even last 5 years).
Bluesky stop your trolling & Brenchel jealousy.
jeal·ous·y
1. jealous resentment against a rival, or against another's success or advantage.
I assure you that neither one is a rival of mine, nor do I have any resentment against their potential success in the next couple of hours.
I simply would prefer not to see petty squabbles and childish behavior on a show that at its best, shows us the awesome beauty and majesty of the world we live in, and the depths of strength, ingenuity and compassion that ordinary people will bring forth under pressure.
The ridiculous drama, and false crying and meltdowns, detract from the power and vigor of The Amazing Race. You can go find that crap anywhere.
Very true. I am tired of the jealousy defense. I am not jealous of anything they have ever done because I don't want their life. If anything I am jealous of the team who won tons of money, vacations, and cars and got to complete the most amazing game ever, travel, the world for free, and be considered the most successful team on an extremely hard show. I think the season would have been better without Brenchel on the screen but that has nothing to do with jealousy.
I wish they would have shown some of the nicer moments. In Africa, for instance, Rachel wanted to spend all of our money. These cute little African kids would come up and wanted to sell you jewelry. Of course, Rachel was buying it left and right and we’re trying to race. In Africa, my stomach got upset and I had to go to the bathroom. I was going to the bathroom and Rachel’s outside, I could hear her asking the kids, “Here, do you want some money?” I was like, “Rachel, stop giving away our money!”
Fine. They did better than me on the Race, since I haven't been fortunate enough to go on (but I can't say I would be able to make the final three, who knows). I'm not calling their talent into question. I happen to believe Rachel R has talent, skill, and ability; I just wish she would stop whining about everything and just work. That's really my issue with her.There have clearly been several seasons with much tougher competition. I'm not one to judge talent, but in my own opinion, there have been several teams with more ability but less luck. (Eric & Danielle (Or Eric & Jeremy), BJ & Tyler, Colin & Christie, Rob & Amber, Kris & Jon, Dustin & Kandice, Megan & Cheyne, Brooke & Claire, Nat & Kat, Tammy & Victor, to name a few).
On the point about teams winning every leg, I happen to think this is an amazing accomplishment and is only achieved by hard work. Hard work should be rewarded, hence Davechel, one of the hardest working teams ever, winning 2\3 of the legs and getting lots of cool stuff. Maybe people are really jealous about one team winning so many legs. :lol:
Anyway, I don't like the hate coming towards Rachel. It's easy to tell that she didn't grow up being taught certain life skills that others see as human nature.

I think all the teams made mistakes in the final leg, but as said elsewhere here I really wish taxis were used less and they allowed teams to drive their own way around (give them a map to find their way).

Kandace has a point. This season would've been a heck of a lot worse without Bretchel.

'The Amazing Race' Exit Interview: Rachel & Brendon
The 'Big Brother' crossover team discuss how they lost one million dollars
By Diane Vadino
Brendon: It was going to be up to her. As a guy, I can't know what it would be like to shave her head. I understood it when she said, "The wedding" -- and I thought, "Let's move on."
Rachel: That one is so hard. You guys saw our reaction, when you realize you just made a million-dollar mistake that ultimately cost us the race. We were neck and neck with Dave and Rachel. And if we'd continued racing the way we had been ... they had made a mistake. I completely lost it. I was mad at Brendon; I was mad at myself. It was my fault. It wasn't like a taxi driver. That was the worst.

That was the worst.
Journalists like to exaggerate, they obviously didn't lose a million dollars as they never had it in the first place. A better way to put it is that that they didn't win a million dollars. You could say all teams lost a million dollars if you want to put it dramatically as they all make mistakes, but I don't think it is very accurate.
And the head shave...all the edit emphasised was the extensions, which I thought was pretty typical of the kind of edit Rachel got.
As for the mistake, maybe if the taxi driver knew there was a nearbye helicopter landing area and didn't take them somewhere completely irrelevant it wouldn't have cost them as much time as it did. Taxi drivers when used always have a big impact in this.
You could also say the same for Art/JJ 'losing a million' since they 1) couldn't keep up with D/R's cab, 2) were 40-50 minutes behind at the rappel, 3) couldn't complete the last RB quickly and 4) were 20 minutes behind at the finish. Erase the cab follow failure or the RB problems and they would have won.http://social.entertainment.msn.com/tv/blogs/reality-tv-blogpost.aspx?post=c8c85e8d-b778-4efc-ac10-8890833b15a2 (http://social.entertainment.msn.com/tv/blogs/reality-tv-blogpost.aspx?post=c8c85e8d-b778-4efc-ac10-8890833b15a2)
'The Amazing Race' Exit Interview: Rachel & Brendon
The 'Big Brother' crossover team discuss how they lost one million dollars
By Diane Vadino
Brendon: It was going to be up to her. As a guy, I can't know what it would be like to shave her head. I understood it when she said, "The wedding" -- and I thought, "Let's move on."
Rachel: That one is so hard. You guys saw our reaction, when you realize you just made a million-dollar mistake that ultimately cost us the race. We were neck and neck with Dave and Rachel. And if we'd continued racing the way we had been ... they had made a mistake. I completely lost it. I was mad at Brendon; I was mad at myself. It was my fault. It wasn't like a taxi driver. That was the worst.
Journalists like to exaggerate, they obviously didn't lose a million dollars as they never had it in the first place. A better way to put it is that that they didn't win a million dollars. You could say all teams lost a million dollars if you want to put it dramatically as they all make mistakes, but I don't think it is very accurate.
And the head shave...all the edit emphasised was the extensions, which I thought was pretty typical of the kind of edit Rachel got.

What does the taxi driver have to do with it? This was all about READING THE CLUE. The baseball field where the helicopters were located was a short walk from the Shave Ice ROADBLOCK.
Later in the finale a good taxi drive helped Art and JJ gain time and bad taxi drivers hurt both Rachel and David and Rachel and Brendon. I would rate this one of the finales where taxi driver karma had the least impact.
How can you blame the Taxi driver? Dave and Rachel asked "Is there a baseball field in this park?", where Brendon and Rachel asked "Is there a big stadium here?".

Because the taxi driver drove them a long way from the site, if the driver had known there was a potential landing area nearer that wouldn't have happened and less time would have been lost. I thought taxi drivers had a big role as usual, even if you want to say the bad luck was spread out among them.
We don't know all that was asked, we only see a little snippet. They must have thought a bit about it and asked about possibilities before going a long distance somewhere.Well, you see B/R get clue, Rachel reads "Make you way on foot to one of the helicpoters waiting in the outfield", cut to outside the taxi, you see Rachel getting in while saying "I think it's the stadium", cut to inside the taxi and Brendon asking "Is there a big stadium here?" to which the driver replies "Yea, big stadium", Brendon: "What stadium?", driver: "Aloha stadium", Brendon: "Ok, let's go there." The building outside the window of the cab as Brendon says this is ~1/2 mile down the road from the parking lot, so they had already commited to the taxi before deciding on Aloha Stadium. Clear cut did not comprehend the clue and no fault of the driver.
I'm not blaming the taxi driver, just that with a better one they may well have saved some time. I'm sure they must have read the clue to the taxi driver (they always do) to see what they made of it. There was an area as described near to the ice task so if the taxi driver knew that that would have helped them. As it was I suppose the driver didn't know and they made their own guess and it was wrong.:lol3: Not blaming the driver, just that with a better one... :lol3: Sure sounds like blame. :lol3: I suppose the driver should also have been a mind reader and a clairvoyant in order to know that they misread the clue and could see from the future that they should have never gotten into the cab :lol3:
Sadly, they broke the rule number 1 of the race. :duno:Which is?
READ THE CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-[
Figure i'd share this surprise as i just got home from running errands, Rachel and Brendon were on "The Price is Right" and did present a showcase that included trips to Santa Barbara, Germany, and India, with $3,000 cash....as it was inspired by their Amazing Race.
For saying that, I refuse to give you a bucket. >:(Figure i'd share this surprise as i just got home from running errands, Rachel and Brendon were on "The Price is Right" and did present a showcase that included trips to Santa Barbara, Germany, and India, with $3,000 cash....as it was inspired by their Amazing Race.
Can anyone get me a bucket right now? I thought Romber was bad. :groan: :gaah:
