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
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

4. "Trailer trash? Hardly." |
LAST EDITED ON 10-30-06 AT 07:57 PM (EST)Here's a man who does one of the most dangerous jobs in America, and a wife who clearly supports him in his endeavor. Trailer trash can't keep a job, and even when the male part (because it's always the man who supports the family) of a trailer trash family gets a job, the female half usually whines and bitches until he quits or is fired. Classic trailer trash. Here's a team who is moved by what they are seeing on their world tour, and who are decidedly less egocentric than most couples on this race. They've taken time to really appreciate the amazing things they've seen. Trailer trash just makes fun of whatever's different or unusual. Here's a team whose closest friends on this race are the gay couple, the asian men, and the black women. Trailer trash says stick to your own kind, and don't trust none of them "foreigners." This team is even willing to sacrifice the race to help their new friends. Their relationships mean more to them than monetary rewards. They aren't after the ultimate get-rich-quick scheme. They would rather take away from this race the things that really matter in life. Not what I think when I think 'trailer trash.' A trailer trash team would be the one who was suspicious of every person not like themselves. People who were disrespectful at every stop. People who move beyond stressladen nagging to indulging in really, really hateful comments directed toward one another. People who seem to have no respect for one another. People who do very little to support one another. That, to me, is trailer trash. And that, of course, isn't Mary and David. It's Rob and Kimberly. Except, they don't have bad teeth, and they don't sound like they're Southerners. You don't like Dave and Mary because they're poor, or because Mary has bad teeth and frizzy hair, or because she nags, or maybe because they talk funny. Fine. I'm not their biggest fan and I don't think they stand much of a chance of winning, but I'd say if you only see the bad and none of the good, then you must really be predisposed to disliking them. There's an abundance of evidence that speaks to the quality of their characters, and very little evidence beyond the utterly superficial for disliking them. So, yes, I would say that maybe people do like them that much. On the other hand, I really don't like Rupert.  (edited because some of my typos were just plain embarrassing)

LAST EDITED ON 10-30-06 AT 06:26 PM (EST)Singing:
How you gonna keep them down on the farm, after they've seen Paree? Beautifully said Rhyn. I like them because I was so ready not to like them, at the beginning of the season. They changed my mind because of all the things that you mentioned. I seriously doubt that they will make it to the end, but I suspect that they will come away from this race much, much richer than when they started. I can not even begin to imagine just how much their "world view" has expanded as a result of their experience on TAR. Edited to correct the lyrics.

You don't like Dave and Mary because they're poor, or because Mary has bad teeth and frizzy hair, or because she nags, or maybe because they talk funny.i didn't say that i didn't like them. thank you for defining what YOU think trailer trash is. obviously i disagree. ~ cqc and special thanks to breezy, the statistician, for tallying votes as to what constitutes "most." *shrug*

9. "you people are confused" |
i do believe the sign on the door said BASHERS.anyway, you can love them if you want. heck, i'd just as easily go over to FANATICS and post how great i think they are in concurrence with their love thread. but they do fit my images of trailer trash. it's the accent, mostly. oh, well. they're gone next week, anyway. and i still say they're team rupert. ~ cqc

10. "RE: you people are confused" |
I actually didn't take exception to the trailer trash thingie though it is obvious in the opening credits they live in a nice country house and even have a trampoline and a four-wheeler. Still, they could be renting, and most trailer trash seem to be renting except them that aren't, so who knows.Now if, on the other hand, you'd have said "po' white trash" well clearly them would have been fightin' words! I like Mary because she's a sweetheart and is clearly having the time of her life despite the pain and hardship. And it is kind of entertaining watching the hicks bumble their way around the world. As racers it is painfully obvious they are a lost cause, they just can't get it in gear when they need to. But they seem to have outlasted all the other bad race teams this edition, even Team Iron Man.

LAST EDITED ON 11-02-06 AT 11:41 AM (EST)I'll believe it's rigged when we have ourselves a fast forward and they get it. As much as I like them (David & Mary), I think the NELs are rather bunched up. Have we had them this close before? etf pronoun clarification and sig

I don't get it why people like them so much, either. They haven't done anything all that notable in my book, other than irritate. I do not care for the nagging, bickering or ignorant braying that they have displayed every single episode. In my neck of the woods, we don't make such fine distinctions about trailer trash. If you have frizzy hair, bad teeth, a hillbilly accent, a four wheeler, and a spawn of kids, it's easy, you are trailer trash. Heck, just a couple of those things might do it.
