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.
As entertainment critic Roger
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."

"David and Jeff- Carboard Cutouts?" |
LAST EDITED ON 08-08-03 AT 01:17 AM (EST)Is it just me, or do David and Jeff have about as much personality as two cardboard cutouts? I still can't even tell which one is David and which one is Jeff... I pretty much just refer to them under the collective term of 'doofus'. How could a team get so far without being edited to have a major story-line? I feel like we've gotten to know John and Kelly, Chip and Reichen, and the clowns really well... but like I said, I still can't even tell these two apart. I don't see how there's any way these two could win with the way they've been edited.

1. "They're just surfer dudes" |
I've gotten a distinct personality from them - the surfer dudes from California. Not particularly intelligent, they don't fight with each other (much), they don't criticize other teams (much), they don't flirt with other teams, they don't use alliances (much), they don't tell jokes, they don't get too down when they finish poorly, they don't celebrate too much when they finish well, and their friendship will last no matter how well they do on the race. Those characteristics, in the eyes of some fans, make them seem "boring". Certainly the editors agree and they haven't been given near the amount of airtime as the others in the top three.I'm far less certain than you about whether they win or not. Looks like they still have a good chance to me, no matter how they've been edited so far.

Thank you. I can't remember the names, let alone which is which. We refer to them as The Guys Whose Names No One Remembers when we debrief the show at work. While it wouldn't be as horrible as, say, Flo winnning, I will be very disappointed if these potted plants win.

Dude and Bro threatened to have personalities two or three times earlier in the race. Remember the fight in Austria over the horse-drawn carriages and again in India? lined up outside of the film studio gates? They got a bit nasty for a minute. But since then they've faded into the scenery. Maybe there will be some opportunities for them to be testy during the last two episodes.

Here's my theory: what would happen to ratings if one of the "evil" teams won? People have to like the winner (or at least not be harboring passionate hatred for them) for ratings to survive (which may be one of many reasons TAR is struggling, predictability aside). So, Dave and Jeff win. The thing is, they're not terribly bright, so the lack of airtime is really just the producers getting rid of some of their less shining moments in the attempt to make them likeable (or at least palatable). See, aside from the fact that they're my PTTE pick for winning (in keeping with the general white-guy-team trend), they're also the only remotely likeable team left. Granted, they're bland, but I'd rather drink water than sour milk. (Oh, and Dave is the taller one and Jeff is the one with the darker hair.) <--can tell the goats apart

>Here's my theory: what would happen >to ratings if one of >the "evil" teams won? You mean like Richard Hatch? Heck, the ratings would probably plummet and nobody would ever watch the show again. No, wait. The other way. More people would watch because EVIL SELLS. Just my guess.

If the goats win with their editing, then Bruckheimer is telling us to just forget about TAR5 ever happening.
