I just wanted to clarify why I got a "T" on my back instead of a NY Yankees design on Episode 1 -
(trust me, I've been getting enough backlash from home because of this!)

First, I truly didn't want to get a tattoo...but I did it for the team and for the desperation we felt to get a task done and move onward. I have zero tolerance for pain- I can't even get my blood taken without screaming - trust me, it isn't pretty!
Anyway, I misjudged three inches... I thought it was way smaller than it actually turned out being... so when they asked us to get a three inch tattoo of a sports logo- I thought i'd just get something simple with a "T" shape so I can at least make it into a crucifix when I get home, this way I wouldn't be branded with a design i'd totally regret. So Texas Rangers logo seemed the easiest..plus, if you go on the BBD2 Website and check out the task map you'll see there is a task potentially involving A-Rod. I thought it might help us later on, should the situation present itself to us. So that's what I did. But in seeing that it's waaaaaaaaay too big, I have decided to remove my battle scar next month....because keeping the Texas tattoo would go against my die-hard fan status for my Yankees. No offense against Texas. But you know how those NY'ers are! Thanks for letting me clarify. And away we go....

Hi Annmarie -- welcome to the boards! We are happy to see you here and appreciate the inside info!

Some questions for you - was Eric as irratating as he was edited to be? Was it a tough choice to boot him off the team? Were you a fan of the first show?

Once again, welcome, and we hope you will stick around!

At first we all got along really well. Eric truly is a funny guy. And he really is likeable. Just as the days progressed and the stresses of the game wore in, he became more irritating to us because his approach to getting a task done was more impulsive and off the wall, instead of thought out. And when you are typically dealing with people who have no idea who you are and why you are shoving a camera in their face, while asking them for crazy favors, it can cause problems. It just seemed like he was hindering our progress moreso than listening and understanding. I can't speak for everyone, but I did fight within myself about the whole Eric thing. I didn't want anyone to go. But I think there is more to this game than who you know. And when Kristen and I got hooked up with the Ravens and the WNBA without a "contact", it showed that effort and teamwork could pay off just as much as who you know. He was always for the quick fix and as you saw, we almost missed our appointment with the Ravens because of it. So when you are dealing with that sort of thing, to me, that was my main reason for voting him off. Though you may not be able to see it due to editing, he is a really great person. He stuck by me during my pain with my tattoo...he let me squeeze his hand. Thanks for the question. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that Eric isn't (quite) as bad as he looked. Sorry the tattoo didn't work out well for you.

He's actually way worse than he looks!!!!

Annmarie,

I'm with you ... when all the tattoos were done, I couldn't believe how big they were. 3 inches doesn't sound big but man, on someone's body it is Huge!!

Anyway, great that you found the boards!

Debi
