Reichen & Chip

...but they weren't sure whether or not to tell the other teams they were a couple? I mean, that's totally their choice to keep secret or whatever, but if they're trying to make this big statement on TV, they could make that same statement on a personal level too. It's a bit inconsistent. Still, I like this team alot.

I think their silence is [was] more of a strategic consideration than anything. I'm sure they had many 'psychal fetters' which prevented them from broadcasting the exact nature of their relationship at this early juncture: the Race is stressful and grueling enough--perhaps they instinctively knew not to add fuel to the fire. as being a gay married couple next door to West Hollywood is likely less challenging than being a loud and proud gay married couple in the situation they were in. These guys may be overly adequate in a great many aspects, but they are still human, with attendant frailities.

Just between me and you, I'm wondering if their alliance partners, David and Jeff, are as "straight" as they [Reichen and Chip] pegged them?

I like this team a lot. Offering to share their hotel room with Debra and Steve got them major points in my book. And, to be honest, the fact that they're easy on the eyes (especially Reichen) certainly doesn't hurt at this point. I don't know that I completely understand their decision to not reveal their marital status at this point, but it's their decision, and I respect that.

If they can keep their attitudes in check, they could go far.

But why is it that somebody's sexual preference is automatically public knowledge? Let the other teams assume what they want. I don't see the other couples going around and letting everyone know that they're straight, so why should the gay couple have to?

I just think it's a DAMN shame they're gay!

i really like this team... they seemed calm, cool, and collected!! Like everything was going as expected- it's a marathon not a sprint!! and the middle of the pack is a good place to be for now...

I really like this team and it was classy, classy, classy of them to share their room with Debra and Steve.

Lobeck!

Maybe Jenn and Jack will get in a fight over them (blatant foreshadowing).
