PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

I've go to go back and read what their relationship is supposed to be. I thought it was dating, but now I think I am wrong. She deals with frustration by crying and he can't function when she cries. it doesn't look good.

10. "RE: Dear Peter," |
My opinion of their relationship is that it is produced. Meaning they were just friends before the show but that was too boring of a relationship for TV, so they became "newly dating."I guess I should explain my reasoning for this theory. When the promos came out for this show and I saw that this pair came from the same city as I, I spoke to a triathlon coach, who knew the couple, about the coincidence. When I asked about their relationship (this was before the show began,) she said that as far as she knew they were just good friends and had a bond due to the fact that he made her prosthetic leg. I think the producers are asking her to comment as if she is considering a serious relationship with him. The way I view her melt down is part frustration because she is a competitor, and part, "why the hell am I having to deal with this guy as if he is my boyfriend, when clearly, he's not!" The clap on, clap off habit of Peter would definitely cause me to knock his lights out.

13. "RE: Dear Peter," |
HHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!, a light goes on as I see that the relationship is not what they claimed. I have missed part of the show in my defense, I thought she was getting angry when things get hard because she wants to win but expects to lose.What she is really angry at is Peter, since he is not her real partner he really does not know her, her limits, abilities or how best to help her. When things get rough he is a noise, a distraction, even treating her like you say as a cripple - but he is not really helping her. He is not shutting up when she needs quiet to concentrate, and when he talks he is not giving the best useful advice when she really needs it. Thanks for the pointer.

LAST EDITED ON 09-25-06 AT 11:53 PM (EST)Wow, I've never felt so powerful before! Now I know what motivates paparazzi... I saw the coach today but didn't ask any more questions. We usually waste time chatting before Friday workouts so I'll see if I can get anything else out of her then. Of course, we always preface these chats with "I can't believe we watch this sh!t." Then we dive into it. I know this is OT, but in this group of people were 2 possible BB's and Survivors...didn't make the final cuts though. On topic, Peter needs therapy. Or a prosthetic brain. etf: lexdisic, d'oh!

There's the ticket! If he made her leg, and it's leaking hydraulic fluid, can't he just buy some hydraulic fluid to carry with him, and then just lube that sucker up when it needs it. Problem solved!

Would hydraulic fluid be hard to have on hand due to airplane security? Maybe they would have to check their baggage losing valuable time.

I don't know much about artificial limbs, but I do have a cousin with one. He never seems to limp as much as Sarah. It seems her 2 "legs" don't match up evenly, making her lurch from side to side. As for my cousin, when he has on long pants & shoes, one might never know on leg is artificial. But maybe it's the hydraulic leak that is causing the uneven gait?

LAST EDITED ON 10-02-06 AT 12:42 PM (EST)Agree with ya'll - that last CRAWL into the Philiminator by Sarah was really pathetic. Not the crawling part, per se, becuase it DID look slippery and all; just the fact that Peter the Putz was sooo far ahead of her. Ugh! He is a PIG! I wonder too, if the leaking fluid may have something to do with Sarah's ability to have an even gait. She mentioned something about the knee having some problems, so maybe that's it? You'd think that they could run into an auto parts store or something, and get some fluid, already!! If the Putz is the "genius" behind this artificial limb, shouldn't he have a tool kit with him?? Oh wait.... He IS the tool!!

Dear Peter,For weeks I have thought that you looked vaguely familiar, but I have been unable to put my finger on just who exactly you resembled. Last night, however, it finally hit me at the end of the episode. You were sitting next to Sarah on the boat and she was looking into the camera and explaining how she didn't like to be around you when you decide to just give up in the middle of a task. You sat there with a completely blank look on your face, no hint of emotion or even comprehension that your partner was expressing displeasure with you or that she (or the camera) was in the same room with you. I finally realized where I have seen that blank look before --- and I am shocked it took me so long. You looked exactly like president W with not even a glimmer in your eye that you had any understanding of what was happening around you. When the Race is over, I hope that Sarah beats you to a bloody pulp with her leg and its various attachments. Sincerely, HD

LAST EDITED ON 10-09-06 AT 10:49 PM (EST)When Sara was climbing, he constantly kept saying things to her. He say what a hard time she was having, but he was laid back on the boat, being the wonderful piece of crap that he is. Then when, for some reason known only to her, she tries to encourage him as he rows a boat, he snaps her head off. The worst for me was when they are on their way to the pit stop and she is trying to explain her feelings while he sits there with a smirk on his face. Had it been me, only one person would have showed up at that pit stop. The other, well, the fish would have had some company while he swam the rest of the way.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned what all my friends/family are saying! Are we the only ones who think that Peter and Sarah's relationship is purely platonic? For a couple, even the slightest romantically involved, there should be some display of affection somewhere during the race. I think there's something else in the way of their relationship and Sarah's just not getting it!

Just when I think you can't be a bigger idiot, you prove me wrong.Isn't that the truth? After last night's episode I loathe him more than ever, and I certainly didn't think that was possible after his hissy fit from last week. He has such a sense of entitlement, such an ego, and such blatant disregard for his partner. Poor Sarah. a J Slice original. bounce by Icey.

WOW! How did I miss this thread? I soooo agree with everyone who thinks Peter is a jerk(that's being polite). From the beginning I've been saying this guy treats Sarah like she's some kind of pet! I'm so glad she's seeing him for the nothing that he really is. The sad thing to me is that there seems to be a great possibility had Sarah only chosen someone other than Peter to partner up with, that she would really be enjoying this once in a lifetime experience. IMO Peter is soooo toxic. His "fumes" even come thru the TV. The guy is just bad. If this is what it took for her to finally "see" him, then I say glory alleluia and RUN SARAH...run like the wind honey away from him ...or better yet detach your "leg" and knock his behind out!!!

Dear Peter,When you are driving around in the car, and your navigator says repeatedly that she doesn't know where you are going, please do not pull the car over and look at the map yourself. If you did, you might be able to decypher the map, figure out which road you should be on (and how to get to said road), and get to the detour task after fewer than 12 hours of driving. Or, you might discover that the map really is confusing as hell and realize you're just as clueless as your partner, in which case, you won't be able to blame her. Strike that last part. You'll always be blaming her. Still, Me P.S. The Miss Americas? Really aren't that into you.  Slice n' Dice's Sigpic Chop Shop 2004

Peter is a sleaze bucket.Talk about a gutless individual. He basically made Sarah do all of the difficult tasks whenever he could get away with it. He never gave her the chance to think about it and was not man enough to say once "Sarah, let me do this one" I am glad Sarah realized he is scum and she deserves a lot better. GET LOST PETER!!!! and grow some cojones before you find your way back to the USA.

Dear History Detective - you said it best when you said:HistoryDetective 6210 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 09-25-06, 10:04 AM (EST) 4. "RE: Dear Peter," Which is the bigger tool? A. Sarah's bionic leg B. Peter AWESOME!!! He is such a flaming $$$hole. I am so glad to see them gone. I didn't watch the morning show - only do that when teams I like are on Don't want to spoil my breakfast you know. He doesn't seem gay - did he actually say that? In any case that has nothing to do with being an insensitive two faced dolt. He was constantly trying to quit and then belittling Sarah when she had her meltdowns. Just make up your mind Peter - who are you truly? And stick to that. And GO AWAY! Not sorry to see them go, Psychokitty

Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;) Sig from The Tribe and Cyg Sig Shop!

Dear PsychoKitty,Thank you. In hindsight, I realized there should be too questions on that quiz. 1. Which is the bigger tool? A. Sarah's bionic leg B. Peter 2. Which is the more useful tool? A. Sarah's bionic leg B. Peter I think that the answers are pretty obvious. Cheers, HD

I must add my good-byes. I am not a violent person, but never in my life have I wanted to beat another person senseless like I did Peter.

89. "RE: Benefit of the doubt" |
My issues tend to be, even when giving someone the benefit of the doubt.1) Reality TV loves the redemption edit. Usually they try not to let even the most hated characters end their stay without something redeeming about them being shown. Even when it is something that makes us roll our collective eyes and groan. I wonder when it does not happen given how much they love to redeem people in the end. 2) While everyone says that they forget the camera is there, most people seem to be self-aware enough to know when they are behaving badly and that awareness shows up sometime during the edit or in how their team-mates/tribe-mates, etc. interact with them. Granted. some peeps seem to be chosen because they can't self edit anything at anytime for any reason (like everyone seeing their bad side on national TV). I do know a few people like that. It is hard to be around them. Now some people don't care, they can care, and that they can care shows up at least in how other people respond to them, they just most of the time chose not to care. It can show up in a lot of ways that they are chosing not to care. Often in the what they say about what they are doing in the confesional. Now maybe you can edit all that out, but they seem to love to edit that stuff in when they get it. They also can express in post interviews that they knew they were a total azz, but that they chose to be that way when confronted by someone about their behavior rather than acting like the don't understand the question. There are other people that can't care. They do not demonstrate they have the ability to see their behavior or have any ability to turn something on or off depending on the situation. Now it is easier when you see it all on tape to be self aware. some people don't see it even when it is on tape. After all how many people are shocked at their own behavior in post-game interviews. Depends on the depth and breadth of the cluelessness. Remember we know that at some stage people are so incompetant at something they can't even perceive they are incompetant and we definitely get a few of those on reality TV. 3) Some people don't have the emotional intelligence to see how others are responding to them. Now again you have some who don't care, but they do usually somewhere either demonstrate they can care about how other people respond to them directly or it gets shown to us they can care about how others react to them. You also get those that don't seem able to care about others feelings/reactions. Yep, you can manipulate the tape and take things out of context but there are some people who do things that no one that can care would do even when they decide they do not generally want to care. Some things are just not acceptable no matter what the situation. It's like the people who can't stop beating their kids even when they know that the TV crew is in the house with them. You might say it is all editing and they are really loving parents, but they still pummelled the living carp otu of the kid even when they knew they were being filmed. That is can't care rather than choses not to care. I don't look at just how the person is shown, but how they others are reacting to it. The more people that are involved in the that person is just a total azz and not capable of anything else the more I give it credence. After all there are some people we see being jerky that everyone on the show loves, and others that we don't see being jerky but everyone on the show hates. That kind of thing can clue you into what is not being shown either for time or for story purposes.  It's a tribe creation!

LAST EDITED ON 10-24-06 AT 04:59 PM (EST)We need to compare notes sometime as to how to relate to the opposite sex. Dayum, you make me look good. So I guess this means your pretty little one-legged mama is available now? Sincerely,  Johnny Bravo I learned everything else I know about women from Colin, Jonathan, and Lake. (ETA: and Deana's Ray.)
 Tribe strikes again! Don't say you weren't warned.

Dear Sarah - im not sure which was more annoying, you using your one leg to get special advantages in a race (airport, this is a emergency, my leg!) or your dramatic sniviling interviews between. you truely need to stay in the special olympics because you obviously need special attention for anything you do. believe it or not, other people have handicaps too, and they survive through life without having to make a dramatic spectacle of themselves every time they successfully wipe there asses. you annoyed me almost as much as your gay "newly dating" friend peter. I am sure they gave him some harsh editing, but then again, being around you and your one leg, big nose, fugly face could turn anyone into a unsympathetic #####! you are truely the saddest most attention hungry handicapped person i have ever seen. now that you and your victim personality are gone, the race can finally be enjoyable.regards - fans of TAR - but not fans of you.

92. "RE: Dear Peter," |
>Wasn't it usually our friend Peter >who pulled the whole emergency/leg >thing?He said it, she agreed with it. I have a feeling >that Sarah tries to be >as "normal" as possible and >not go for special treatment.
I dunno about that, either she got poor editing along with peter, or she is in need of constant attention. everytime she did any roadblock / challenge the script was pretty much the same everytime.
first - (P) you can do this sarah! (S) ok peter - i have run a triathalon, i can do anything! then (s) omg peter, i cant do this.. waaa.. tears, pauses, (que dramatic music in the background please) (p) get off your ##### and do it woman! im the jerk of this couple, and your making me mad! do the damn task so we dont lose! (s) waaa waaa.. tears tears... and then finally, after 30mins of everyone cheering for poor poor sarah... she stops being ridiculous and starts actually trying to do the task. last - then we get to hear her damn speech about how she can do anything, how she is the greatest in the world and how super incredible it was that she climbed a ladder. And what do you want to bet that Peter instigated the whole handicapped parking tag in their vehicle? (what was up with that anyway? We're in a race but let us park where we want cause one of is handicapped! Yeah, right!)
I have no idea who put the handicapped thing in there mirror. could of been peter, could of been her, either way, they obviously didnt have a problem with it since neither of them took it down.
seems to me that there should be a couple of rules in TAR - one being that it is against the rules to proclaim an emergency of any sort unless you actually have a emergency. every season someone uses that angle and i cant stand it. crying wolf isnt good for anyone. there also should be no special considerations for racers that are handicapped or unable to perform physically. no special parking, nothing. if they cant play fairly and equally, they should not be on the show. if they insist on being on TAR, let them on the next family edition, since everyone on that season was handicapped anyways.
