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."

"A side of the cowboys we weren't privy to?" |
An excerpt from Dan and Jordan's interview from this site:Reality TV World: That's a couple of different times now in this interview that you guys have mentioned Jet apparently having some problem with Jordan. We really didn't see much of that on the show, can you elaborate on that a little bit? CBS publicist: Let's talk about their strategic play on the show. Dan Pious: Jet hates gays, yeah. Jordan Pious: I mean, but he made comments about Carol and Brandy on the show. Dan Pious: Yeah, Jet called Jordan a "fag" Saturday night for absolutely no reason and Jordan just said hello to him, so there was something on the Race and I guess, in all fairness, there's some stuff that isn't shown and I think it's an important thing to get out. Because I don't think there's any doubt that certain things happened and it all plays a part in everyone's reaction. I don't remember exactly what was said on this past episode, but when Jordan was walking away from the counter I believe Jet said something to Jordan. I'm totally drawing a blank now, but he said something. I'll have to watch the episode again, because I've only seen it once because I'm in New York. So listen, I think there's some animosity but it really goes one-way. But we'll focus on the positive. I'll be curious to see how (and if, particularly since the publicist was so quick to jump in) it's addressed in their interview. Jet did say this in another interview: Q: Jet why didn't you think to move your head when you were standing in front of Jordan and you saw he was doing that? Jet: Jordan does a lot of things I don't do... (laughs) Why whatever could he be talking about? Corporate consulting, perhaps? As someone who grew up among a similar cowboy culture, I've heard this uncoded code language before. It certainly makes me feel much less bad about them not winning.

I just read it. Webby did his best, but Jet & Cord are horrible interview subjects -- and the accidental ordering of the talks is painful.

To be fair, all the interviews I've seen on the subject (still nothing from the guys on here?) it was a Jet problem, not so much a Cord problem.Fair enough. I never bothered to learn which one was which, so obviously I don't care a whole lot, but it isn't fair to lump them together as I did. My two cents? They seem like decent guys with a sense of integrity, but very provicial and close-minded. I have a hard time liking anyone who seems so resistent to anything and everything that is new or different. Dan and Jordan seem also like ok guys, but petty and vindictive, which is bad in losers and intolerable in winners. They also nasty to each other at times and were really out of line in how they treated some of their cab drivers. I realize that the race is extremely stressful, but how you treat others reveals your character in my book, and with D&J, it wasn't pretty. This season was a disappointment to me, not only because of who won, but mostly because all the teams in the final four were so weak and unlikable. I didn't want any of them to win. Bouquet by c2p

10. "Subthread: What else?" |
Jordan does a lot of things I don't do... (laughs)So, what else does Jordan do that Plane does not? Libra already suggested corporate consulting. Here are some other suggestions: Win the Amazing Race. Receive a check for a million (well, half million) dollars. Get instructions from CBS not to answer questions about another team that might call their "integrity" into question or tarnish their extremely positive edit. What else?

While I'm not doubting that ANYthing could have been said or done by ANYone and thrown on the cutting room floor, I also feel that there are times where sheer paranoia and/or 'feelings' of someone not accepting your lifestyle could cause you to think you hear something that was or was NOT said!It would be an understatement to say that the media does not always get things right, and people are human (wow-a revelation of purportions!) and say and do things that they later regret. IMHO, I think it's best to just move on and leave well enough alone. If Jet or Cord or whoever wants to come out and openly apologize, fine. If not, I'm going to assume it never happened, or that it did, and Dan and Jordon, sadly, will have to move on, because this can't be the first or last time this will happen. In other words: when is the next season of TAR???

I haven't been in THAT particular arena before, but I have been, as most of us, in some other place of being offended by a personal belief, lifestyle, whatever. I also know that when you've made a personal choice that is not especially popular with the mainstream, it can make you a bit 'nervous' shall we say? At least a little, when you are around people who personify the total opposite of who you are, r.e. the cowboys-rough and tough, ranglers of the bull persuation...

While you're out if you hear any slurs directed at you it's probably just you being paranoid and hearing things.

LAST EDITED ON 05-16-10 AT 05:53 PM (EST)hen you are around people who personify the total opposite of who you are, Bigoted? Narrow-minded? Deliberately ignorant and proud of it? Soul-deep convinced they have a divine sanction for all of the above? Is there a reason I shouldn't be nervous around those people? 
KidFlash already took 'personal choice' and I'm guessing Chip & Reichen would be considered as just going through a phase.

20. "RE: Paranoia some?" |
I NEVER said anyone's sexuality was a 'personal choice' did I??? I was talking about my OWN life, and MY own personal choices to live the way I live.Take it or leave it. I can never win in this conversation, and that is not my point anyway. I don't really care about winning or losing. Point is-I do get to have a point, right? Thank you. If you want me to go into details, I will be more than happy to, but then we'll just start a whole entire new conversation about MY own personal convictions that interfere or do not confere with YOUR personal convictions, and where will all this stop? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to leave the board just because a few of you don't like my (me) saying what I want to say. I have never personally attacked any of you. Never felt the need, and still don't.

LAST EDITED ON 05-19-10 AT 08:12 AM (EST)Does the "but I have a ___________ friend/relative/contestant I like" really mean a person doesn't have any biases in that direction at all? It never really seems to be an effective argument, but it is a commonly used one. I will say we are in a mixed environment here. All of us are likely interacting in this diverse community with people we may not have in our social circle. Certain turns of phrase that many of us may be used to using can be offensive to people you may not be used to interacting with. When it seems to happen more than once, it does tend to give off a certain impression. That being said if you interact on line long enough you will eventually offend someone. IMO that means two choices (and this is a case where people have a choice, and I'll post the ends of the spectrum). 1. Assume all the _____________ are just oversensitive whiny babies and choose to not change anything about yourself, after all you might just be better than them, anyway. 2. Decide that you will look at how you type and if that comes off in a way you didn't intend and try to make it up to those that were hurt by your words (even if that wasn't the point you were trying to make). Anyway, I don't assume the cowboys never met someone like the brothers (and visa versa) whatever criteria anyone wants to use to say they are sooooo different. To show my bias, I think it is a testosterone thing and both teams have a competitive streak in them. I expect there will be a few incidents along the way. It is the nature of the hormones and what happens when something pretty big is at stake. Heck I've seen guys do worse over who gets the last rib at a BBQ.

26. "RE: A side of the cowboys we weren't privy to?" |
I'm a bit confused at the turn of this thread (it could be the vodka cranberries though ;) ) but as an African American woman, bigotry doesn't surprise me. And the old "some of my best friends are _______" doesn't mean squat. People make exceptions, at least on the surface, for people that they deem safe; or safe until they mess up and land back in the crap pile with the rest of their group. I don't know why TAR is edited the way that it is but I wouldn't be shocked if a southern/mid western rural man was homophobic. I wouldn't like it but I wouldn't be shocked. On the other hand, I've known unlikely people to be very tolerant and accepting of diverse groups. Having said that, I found a lot of the teams on this cycle to be somewhat unlikeable for various reasons. At the end of it, the show is about ratings and we should remember that. Even though I didn't really like Dan & Jordan for a lot of the race, at the end I was happy for them because they were fans just like me and it affirmed that any of us could win TAR too.
