How real is my reality tv?
You know, at this point, I don't care. Anything to give me the possibility of having a final three that might include Bopper and Mark, because the rest of the remaining teams...meh. I certainly don't want to see Brenchel win, nor do I much like the rest of the teams. I guess of the remaining teams other than Bopper and Mark, I'd have to go with the Border Patrol guys, but only because they were nice enough to give some of their prize money to Bopper for his daughter's medical bills. It's not that I like them, but I don't like any of the rest of them either, so they'd be my choice because of all the unlikable teams left other than Bopper and Mark, they're the only ones who've done something really nice for another team.
Initially I thought they were getting the eliminated edit and at that point I said I wasn't going to keep watching. I can't stand "listen to your husband!", Vanessa is beautiful on the outside but horrible on the inside, Whiny Rachael and overbearing Brendan. Border guys were my 2nd pick for a bit but I hate the "beat by a girl" attitude so I dumped them, too.
LOL! Just when I thought I had that song from the Bollywood dance routine from Big Bang Theory out of my head, along comes this one!I'm going to be hearing that damn dance song in my head all night!
While I am happy that Mark & Bopper live to run another race, I would have been fine if their journey ended tonight. Mark completed the task and did indeed show his kids that one must never give up. Not only would he have said the words he would have showed by example.
So Rachel is going to have to shave her head? If you could see my grin right now.....next week is going to be awesome!
Honestly... while I too would question it:
1. We do not know at the time he considered quitting that they were so far behind that it really wouldn't have mattered. They were also considering quitting the whole race, not just the roadblock. I don't think they'd intervened if they were just saying "we choose to take the penalty" on the roadblock.
2. I think the show knew how special this team was - so positive and NOT giving up until they were exhausted that they wanted them to finish and show strong, or
3. They knew that Mark was not thinking with his head (it was obvious IMHO that he was suffering heat exhaustion at the very least) and they wanted to make sure he was cooled down properly to make the decision with at least a clearer head. What BOTH were suggesting were quitting the entire race, not the roadblock. I think that the heat was a factor and it wouldn't be fair to them to say they quit, get cooled down and realized they made a mistake.
>>>>>>>>
BTW, I would be saying this if it were any other team too (Even if I find pretty much the rest of them unlikeable - I like team Army even if he gets too brash).
Speaking of ARMY - it was nice to see Dave get his comeuppance when he said he could do better than Rachel, and he had to redo his ride because he hits a pole. And, to see his "I'm eating crow" face when they were in the interview... priceless.
I don't believe Rachel will shave her head. She's too vain to be a bald bride. Bwah. She'll cry, Brendan will step in, and have his head shaved instead.
Or they'll be able to choose another task.
I just believe that preview was misleading.
