posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out

Step right up- don't be shy! I need a memory refresher.Let's hear again about how misunderstood he actually is. And how he "plays smart".
And that Miss Mirna was SO ridiculous for saying that he was "controlling" Christie! He's still a nice.... sweet..... caring..... fun-loving guy, right???? Come on, he's still Number One with you folks, isn't he????!!!!

2. "RE: SO- who was DEFENDING COLIN last week???!!!!!" |
Hi I am new to the boards but my feelings on Colin are this. He is a spoiled American self important #####. In a time where Americans should be coming together his actions embarrass me.
Not only does he treat the people in other countries as if they below him but he definately has an abusive relationship with his doormatt of a girlfriend. I loved when the guy replied to him "Do you speak Swahilee?" when he asked if they spoke english. Does he realize he is in a different country? Should have penalized his ##### for being condesending to a police officer! I like Chips attitude. Basically what comes around goes around. You know what? even if the spoiled brat does win maybe it will cause him nothing but problems. You never know. I am proud to Chip and his wife for not treating people in the other countries like dirt. If I was a cab driver I would tell them to F*** Off! Why should a cab driver risk his safety for a bunch of obnoxious americans? Sorry needed to vent!

I wish they would show some of the non-race interactions particularly after 'in race' confrontations. Chip & Kim appear to have a healthy attitude toward the race and an appreciation for the horizon-broadening opportunities it provides while being competitive, too. That's a rare combination.

Colin needs serious anger management classes. Christie needs to be put into a battered womans shelter before it's to late. Did you see how she told him she was sorry for not standing by him. Letting him know it was ALL HER FAULT!!!!

"Just because he hasn't broken her doesn't mean he hasn't abused her"Exactly, AK. That whole sceanrio with the police sums Colin up. He blusters. He blames. He refuses to accept responsibility. He bullies. He refuses to solve a problem based on his "principles." He always has to be right. Then he folds, but not before he has made sure others are to blame. These are all signs that he is a LOSER, and a mean one at that. If I were Christie, I'd have seen the light at that point, turned to the director and said, "I DESERVER BETTER!" Then I would have walked away. Colin is a dangerous man. Christie needs intervention NOW.

I live in Corpus Christi, and I see commercials of Collin's cell business and believe me Christie doesn't seem battered to me physically or emotionnaly. She seems very happy and content to be with her self centered boyfrend. So maybe that what she likes...
By the way the name of his company is Doorstep Wireless...

"submissive woman who then told Colin to sit in the back seat while she then talked to the next taxi driver. The taxi situation was bad, but it wan't that bad"Christie is not the one in control in that relationship. SHE apologized to him, remember, when HE had been totally in the wrong. Then he demands a kiss when she is still angry?! He has no respect for Christie. That is not a sign of a healthy relationship. Christie was trying to intervene with the taxi driver before Colin lost his temper AGAIN. She is afraid of that temper, and rightly so - not a good sign. Colin is in control of the relationship, and he's not exactly what I'd call a benign dictator. His behavior at the police station and his emotionally abusive behaviors toward Christie are not acceptable. Period.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

12. "donut tires" |
Actually - my father worked for GM and the "donut tires" are made to be driven no more than 55 MPH (probably why they were being passed is because the driver WAS being safe) and handle a maximum weight (almost the same as a regular tire). If you meet those two criteria - a "donut of a tire" will last months. I am not saying that tire was not old - but no matter the situation - the tire was the front passenger tire right? which would have been facing Colin as he walked out. He should have noticed that right away. I dont care what happened - get upset whatever - but he was way over the top.

Well it wasn't me because I rarely frequent this board. I just have two observations. (1) One of my personal low points in television viewing is when I figured out that they weren't really gonna cart him off to prison. I had a lovely spin-off series in mind where we followed him through his prison career, providing services to the other inmates and the like. *sigh* (2) Colin finally let me to understand my goal if and when I retire. I want to be an executioner. Seems like the perfect part-time job. We have had many pro/con capital punishment threads over on the OT so let's not have one here. This would be personal -- an example of me killing somebody who needs killing. Before he had the opportunity to reproduce. See you on the flip side.  Sig thanks to some cold cat

I certainly wouldn't argue with you here, Tech. Colin is simply a pompous, churlish, sanctimonious, loutish, egocentric, arrogant, pontifical, selfish, boorish, presumptious, low-bred, vainglorious, and uncivilized brute.I was all agog that the cops didn't just throw him into jail for his arrogant talking down towards them, not to mention his refusal to pay the cabbie -- refusing to pay for services essentially amounts to theft, just slap some charges on him and throw him into jail for at least 12 hours just to spite him! He reinforces the image of UGLY AMERICAN... too bad there's a lot of good Americans out there, but the people in Tanzania are going to remember people like Colin far more than they would remember people like Chip. If C/C's family and friends watching on TV aren't going to do an intervention to help Christie get out, then we all here on the TAR boards should go and do it ourselves. Although... Christie's not exactly an angel herself with her gloating about blocking Charla/Mirna last week.

Beautifully put PePe!!!!I was waiting for them to haul him off too. How badly did he want to protest the driver? Right into a third world country's prison? He deserved it too. He is treating other people so callously. And yes, he never intended on paying the full fare for the cab ride in the first place. He made that perfectly clear. I do have to note however - the hilarious moment where the police chief asked him " do YOU speak Swahili?" That was brilliant! And the irony was totally lost on him. Wouldn't it be great if Christie (like Tara before her) threw the race so Colin couldn't win? PsychoKitty

You know, I'll step up. I know I'm going to have other posters jump all over me like last week, but whatever. Up until the last couple of weeks, I've had no problems with Colin and Christie. And I do think, up until the last couple of weeks, they've played really smart. In fact, even with all the crap that went on last night, they still finished first! I never said Colin was misunderstood, or a sweet, caring, fun-loving guy. He's an abusive jerk and I pray that when this is all over, Christie tells him where he can shove it. What would be really great is if they won the million dollars and Christie found some way to screw him out of it and take it all for herself. As someone (I think it was Kim) said last night, the only team that's going to hurt Colin and Christie competitively is Colin and Christie (mostly Colin) which we saw last night. Overall, I still think that Colin and Christie have run a fairly good race, especially considering they've finished first 4 times. From the beginning, I haven't liked them, but I've tried to separate their racing skills from their personalities.

Well, I'm one of his biggest fans, so I'll respond"Let's hear again about how misunderstood he actually is." I still say he's misunderstood. Look, he overreacted last night. C & C were in first, and they dropped way down b/c their taxi driver was a complete idiot who took them on a 2 hour ride on a donut. This was not only detrimental to their racing position, but it was downright dangerous. It was right of him to not pay the full $100, and the driver shouldn't have gotten even $50. Was his reaction to the police proper? No. Was his reaction to Christie proper? No. Can I somewhat understand why he was so pissed? Yes. He reacted poorly to a tough situation, but even after they had lost time, he allowed his cabbie to stop to help the bowling moms. "And how he "plays smart"." Let's see -- where have C & C finished the last several legs? 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st, with the 2 snds being based on inability to eat, not bad tactical decisions. He is a very smart player. Again, he overreacted with the payment situation, but it didn't hurt the team at all. "And that Miss Mirna was SO ridiculous for saying that he was "controlling" Christie!" Well, I think it's pretty well established that Mirna is an idiot. And again, 1 'controlling' act by Colin isn't the end-all, be all. And let us not forget that Christie took chartge in talking to the next taxi guy, telling Colin to sit in the back. "He's still a nice.... sweet..... caring..... fun-loving guy, right????" Again, 1 bad act. "Come on, he's still Number One with you folks, isn't he????!!!!" I never said he's the greatest guy. He's a great guy with some problems with competitiveness, but people blow these problems way out of proportion.

I completely disagree with you about the doughnut. I read on these boards that they are designed to be driven on for a long time.Colin was angry about the set back of the flat tire and used the doughnut thing as the fuel for his anger. He acted like an ##### and he was an embarrassment to Americans. No wonder some other countries don't like us. They think we are a nation of Colins. Christi was acting like a doormat. When you are dealing with a selfcentered ##### like Colin who never takes any responsibility for being wrong, apologizing is the way you smooth things over so you can be on an even keel again. I am looking forward to next week's show when Colin has a melt down. How many examples do you need of this short tempered, selfcentered arrogant guy before you can admit he is that way?

"He's a great guy with some problems with competitiveness, but people blow these problems way out of proportion."I do not think it is out of proportion to say that Colin's uncontrolled rage under stress almost got him arrested. I do not think it is out of proportion to say that he expected an apology from Christie when he clearly had been in the wrong. Colin is not a great guy. He shows no respect for either the people of the countries he's visiting or someone he supposedly likes/loves.

Step right up- don't be shy! I need a memory refresher.Guilty. I was defending him last week as an intense racer. I admit he went over the edge this week and is no longer a favorite of mine. He almost sacrificed the race so he wouldn't "lose" to the cab driver. Stubborness is not a good trait. I also agree that Christie has got herself in a (mentally) abusive relationship. A classic case actually. Go Chip and Putt! 
I still think he's a good racer tho...

51. "RE: Why was Colin "clearly in the wrong"?" |
"I say it was worth a shot to try and save the money." WHY does the money even MATTER? Why should he make such a big stink about it, especially when it was just GIVEN to him, anyway? It isn't like he has to work for that cash. They don't get special points for having extra dough left over at the end of a leg, do they??? And he had AGREED to pay $100 before he ever got into the cab! (Consider the viewpoint of the poor slob who had to have Mister Personality in his beat up, broken-down taxi for a one-hundred mile ride!)
"When he realized that he was not going to both save the $50 and catch the flight he gave up. What is so wrong with that? Even the police officer said "you are right and he is right" referring to Colin and the cabbie." What the cop was saying was, "You won't back down and he won't back down. You both think you're right". I sure don't understand how that excuses him from being Public Jack___ Number One. But he is the one who made that name for himself, and he gets to live with it.

WHY does the money even MATTER? If it doesn't matter, why is Phil pillaging it from those who are last in non-elim legs of the race? If it doesn't matter, why have B&N and C&K also had fights about money? Spending more then you have to can cause you to run out of money thus causing you to lose the race. That is why it matters. I sure don't understand how that excuses him from being Public Jack___ Number One I never said it did. My point was that he was not "in the wrong" for trying to only pay $50, he was very wrong for being a jackass.  "How 'bout a birdy? I got a little birdy right here."

"My point was that he was not "in the wrong" for trying to only pay $50, he was very wrong for being a #####."I just pasted your words up there to make it look like I was replying to something.  Actually, ya know, when I stop to think about it, I guess I'm still in a state of shock from watching the program last night, and I suppose that if Colin had been slapped around or perhaps beat senseless with a nightstick, maybe I wouldn't still be feeling so frustrated today. And when I see anybody saying ANYTHING that sounds like a defense of what that clown did, I just flash back to him screaming at the taxi driver, screaming at the police chief, glaring at Christie with his arms crossed and scolding her for her (imaginary) transgressions... throwing the money into the air, AND THEN WALKING AWAY SCOTT-FREE!!!!! What an INDEFENSIBLE freak show that all was!!! So, maybe I just need some "closure". 
PS How come YOU can get away with typing the OBSCENE word, "#####" but it gets scratched out for ME???

63. "RE: Why was Colin "clearly in the wrong"?" |
Colin was clearly both legally and morally in the wrong.1. He was wrong to agree to pay $100, and then when he gets to the destination, try to pay only $50. The time to bargain is not when the transaction is complete; that is called theft. If he had gotten out halfway, when the flat tire happened, and called for another cab, perhaps he would have been in the right in paying a lesser price. But the tire was fixed and the guy got them the whole way there, and only then did he say he wasn't going to pay the whole thing. There wasn't that much of a delay. The cab driver did not surprise him with the $100 charge, try to drive around to get the meter higher. The driver did not charge him any more than anyone else was charged for the same ride. Colin accepted the price, and accepted the ride the whole way. He wasn't offering extra for speed -- he didn't say to the driver "I will pay you $100 if you get us there within 90 minutes." The fact that Colin was in a race had nothing to do with this driver, and his wasn't even the last cab to arrive. 2. The driver did not try to physically threaten him, but merely stated his case, and called over the appropriate authorities. 3. The police, who at times, whether in the US or in other countries, can be abusive to people, were downright respectful to Colin, and handled their jobs with professionalism. They fully investigated the matter, gave him many chances to make right, and Colin took a long time to do so. (Also, one should never argue with the police about donuts). 4. Money rules of the race aside, Colin must be very rich by African standards. The driver is likely not. Rich guys trying to rip off poor guys is particularly egregious.

LAST EDITED ON 08-25-04 AT 04:07 PM (EST)I'll step up.. I still like Colin & Christie. I think their editting is very obviously slanted. Not to say that Colin doesn't have anger issues but for people to make the assumptions they're making , it just isn't fair. It's impossible for a team to be as horrible as they're being shown and yet still have other teams want to associate with them. Last week they had no problem getting the cooperation of the other teams, not possible if they're as bad as they've been shown. As well let us not forget that over 24 hours elapsed between Colins police station hissy fit and his telling Christie to give him a kiss. Things happen in that time that we can't possibly see and as they're being edited as the villians it's doubtful we ever will see the good things that happen in this team. As for the taxi incident - I wouldn't have given him a dime. It's reprehensible that he would be driving around out in the middle of nowhere without at the very least another donut to put on the car. Colin overreacted no doubt but that's what he does best. He saw his lead yet again, evaporate and he couldn't do a damn thing about it, of course he got testy. Yet even testy - he still stopped, helped the moms and wasn't snotty about it. Christie apologizing - She didn't need to apologize - for sure but at the same time you don't calm someone down by yelling at them. I think she realized that and apologized for fanning the fire so to speak - Before you jump on me - I don't think she should have apologized - just trying to rationalize why she might have felt the need. Again, keep in mind - things happen that aren't shown on Tv. Finally, anything that came out of mirna's mouth was vile, she was a mean spirited witch that no one - bowling moms aside - liked. You can watch any episode and find at least one other team complaining about them. I agree that Colin & Christie have some issues that this race has brought out, that have to be addressed, however I think it's really unfair to judge them based solely on the biased editing we've seen thus far.

"I still like Colin & Christie. I think their editting is very obviously slanted. Not to say that Colin doesn't have anger issues but for people to make the assumptions they're making......." UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! We still haven't seen enough to make clear "assumptions"??!!! You're planning on giving them a free ride no matter WHAT you watch them do. Like the early-morning airport thing a few weeks back. C&C were talking to some drowsy janitor or somebody, and it looked like they'd been there a WHILE (the camera man had enough time to walk over and shoot from behind Mirna) and Mirna eventually starts to say, "Excuse me, Sir..." when Colin BLEW UP and began SHRIEKING at her for DARING to speak while HE was in the building! What a load of crap! Was she expected to wait until an Official Release was signed, stating that Colin was All Done Talking??? Let's try to be OBJECTIVE, shall we?
".... they're being edited as the villians it's doubtful we ever will see the good things that happen in this team. "
I'm still in disbelief. You can't make them into "villians" if you don't have anything on tape to WORK with! Has anybody seen the C&C screech-fest that they had while lugging that "pharoah's coffin" around? It went on for several minutes. They had it posted on the "Behind the scenes" part of the TAR website. "Being edited as villains". Then they should've left THAT in!!!! "Finally, anything that came out of mirna's mouth was vile, she was a mean spirited witch ..." Finally, I don't know of a single "vile" word that Mirna said, while Colin has spit out the "F" word on more (unnecessary) occasions than any of us can count! Mirna tried to get into some ticket line which irritated the Dough Boys, and she got called "B----" for it in a drive-by cursing incident. What was her response/ NOTHING. She once called Colin a "criminal" under her breath... I suppose THAT is supposed to be considered "vile".... even compared to Colin's potty-mouth. C&M were FUN and they didn't even let the infantile behavior of the others bother them. Are we watching the same program here?

I think we are just not being shown the other teams feelings. Noticed the twins in last nights episode stated that they knew Colin would not have left his spare tire for them.
Up to this point it was much more interesting to show the C/M interaction.

Is it just me or was there a shot where Colin was running and then he turned around, CLAPPED HIS HANDS TOGETHER, and yelled "Christy!"Kinda like the way you call your dog? And when he asked for a kiss, he didn't ask for a kiss. Christy was looking out the window, and he said "Gimme a kiss." Must everything be barked like an order? Remember how supportive he was when she was struggling with the caviar? How she just kept looking at him and struggling to eat and he kept sighing and running his hands through his hair? Then, as soon as Colin left the room, SHE WAS ABLE TO EAT! She downed it faster than Chip!

"Christy was looking out the window, and he said "Gimme a kiss." At that moment I was reminded of the times an abusive man tries to make it up to the woman by bringing flowers or candy or some other special treat. She softens up and thinks, "Oh, he's sorry. He won't do it again. I probably deserved it anyway." The true way to show you didn't mean it is to STOP BEING ABUSIVE.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Hello... third world country! Substandard everything ~ including cabs. Gee, didn't see too many Beemers around, or new vehicles for that matter! Driving around with a spare... well probably they can't afford to replace it just yet. Food may be a more top priority. Locals trying to rip you off... well yeah, it's to be expected. These people are dirt poor and here come these rich-seeming tourists, on TV no less... so what do you think they're going to try and do? They want to eat and they know damn well that we don't have trouble feeding ourselves. We may not agree with it but that's how they make their living. Colin's problem is that he doesn't see this. You can't judge a third world country by North American standards! Yeah the cab is driving around on a donut - get over it. Find a a legitimate situation to get riled up over $50! Oh and throwing money in people's faces (Colin and Nicole), show some respect! You're upset, that's fine, but don't act like a self-rightous #####! It's not safe, it's not safe. Yeah Colin, the whole third-world country is going to have a sudden epifany and make sure that their cabs are up to your safety standards! Give me a break!!

Well, driving on a donut is perfectly safe really, it just isn't very efficient or economical. Colin would have never known about it if another tire hadn't blown out, at which point it would have been clear to almost anyone that the guy really needed to buy some new tires rather than watch his big American TV show windfall try to go bye-bye on him. It was a gufuworthy hissyfit he threw, one of the dangdumbest things I've ever seen.Personally, I was hoping for a bit there the cabby would just say, "Okay, I'll take $50 for the ride, but it will be $200 to open the trunk so you can get your stuff back, though."

Well, there have certainly been many interesting posts in this thread! A brave few took the stage to admit that they had once been Colin fans, while even fewer have showed up to continue standing by him .....and, judging by one poster's tireless efforts, to defend him unto death! We were offered points-of-view based on logic and experience... and some others based on hearsay and assumption. One thing that I couldn't help noticing on this board is that most of us have our minds made up when we get here. I'm not knocking anybody's "right" to go on a long, emotion-filled tirade, and I realize that a lot of what is said is all in fun. I'm merely making an observation. Some of us just show up to VENT and get it over with. And some actually seem to be open-minded and more willing to "bend".... to reconsider the opinions offered and possibly change their stance, however slightly. But there are others who WILL NOT listen, because they are too busy repeating their same argument over and over. Does that mean they're wrong? Sometimes. But sometimes the insistent ones are the ones who are RIGHT. All in all, it does make for some lively discussion! Concerning the subject matter, I think I'll have to admit that, for ME, Colin makes some fascination TV watching, but I sure wouldn't want to have anything to do with him in real life. I've enjoyed reading the entire list of rants and wisecracks, and look forward to the next torrent of outbursts. Thanks for playing! -V V

"No one is right and no one is wrong...." WHOA! Now, THERE is a statement that requires a whole new thread! I'll meet you on the "Somebody defending Colin" side.
"I like reading (and sometimes writing) on this board because most people here know how to spell correctly "
PS- you spelled "flack" wrong* when you posted in the other thread. It's "F-L-A-K". Unless you were referring to Roberta.
*Or should I have said, "incorrectly", since there is no right or wrong"???

While I'm not a colin fan I really don't see how he was abusive towards her last week. I'd say they were both wrong. Christie was wrong for first backing him then changing her mind. That made Colin look like a big a55hole and he had no other recourse but to back down. Colin was wrong for reacting the way he did. He wasn't attacking her more so than the fact that she turned on him like she did, he was still a jerk for trying to humiliate her the way he did though . I think that either both of them should have apologized or neither one of them should have. Colin and Christie have constantly helped out teams throughout this race(other than Charla and Mirna) and there's only been one team that has had any real complaint about them, ok two if you want to count the twins last week. Speaking of last week thaey did help out the bms despite the fact that they were in last place and it would have benefited them to leave them, and the bms backed their sworn enemies last week. I really dont see much wrong with that team other than the fact that they are too intense at times.

Much of what I wanted to say has been said .. but I'm chime in nonetheless.As to the $100/$50 thing ... Colin, in his ranting, explained that at some time he included the need to 'stay in the same place in the race' (or words to that effect). While, because of editing, we didn't actually see this, we also did not see the cabbie deny any such negotiations took place. IMHO he should have tried to re-negotiate with the cabbie, respectfully. Instead Colin is the perfect Ugly American, blustering about "catching our flight". What this entire episode did show me, as others have noted, Colin is definately an abuser. Emotional Abuser to the greatest extent. When he told (really commanded) Kami & Karli that "we're taking yours" (spare tire); when he complained that Chrisie was 'freaking out' at the police station (standing quietly to the side -- yea, real freaking if you ask me); the "gimme a kiss" line; tossing the money in the air; etc. etc. etc. In keeping with his condencending "hakuna matata" line, I'll just harken back to SNL and say Colin is a great big falum bwe-bwe. Would it be wrong of me to wish them a category 5 hurricane during their Carribean (sp?) trip? A.S.S. PTB Red Points CONSOLATION winner

Yeah, it would be interesting to see if we could total up all the idiotic and abrasive things he did in just that one episode. The list seems to keep growing! I was amazed by the way that he got into that police chief's face and was yelling at him like he was an idiot... "DO..... YOU..... UNDERSTAND..... I..... HAVE.... TO..... CATCH.... MY...... FLIGHT!!!" And all of the times he obviously swore out loud (deft editing and dubbing covered it)... when they got out of the cab and saw the flat, he yells, "Look at THIS S---!!" And when he threw the money up in the air at the cop shop, it sure looked like another outburst of "F---!!!!" for the umpteenth time! Then, after the money-tossing fit, as they were walking away, Christie is way behind him and says something like, "Colin, wait up for me!" and he replies (without EVEN looking back) "Walk FASTER." Sheesh. We hear a lot about how "there's no such thing as 'reality TV' because having the camera around makes people behave differently than they normally would"... well, it's awful hard to imagine that THIS boy is "behaving" differently for ANYBODY!!!!! What a Prince Charming kind of guy!

Colin is most def. an abuser. Perhaps not a physical abuser yet but eventually if he continues on this path he will be.
Christie is the Queen of Denial. They bought a house together I read recently?
I am convinced that the shows powers that be read these message boards.
If you will notice in next week's coming attractions they make a huge point of Christie taking a stand. They are trying to soften Colin after we all saw him truly in action.
No editing will change Colin's immature anger issues. Eventually someone will get very hurt, hopefully Christie will be referring to Colin as her "ex" when that happens.
You can jump down my throat if you like but Mirna was right about Colin. Granted Mirna is a huge drama queen, a whiner and a big pain. Because of those unlikeable qualities we may not have seen the truth behind her rants. She may have been whiney but she was correct. Colin is a dangerous time bomb unless he gets some help.

What bothered me the post was that by the end of last week's episode, Christie was actually apologizing to Colin for not supporting him enough. This is a classic sign of emotional abuse - he's a pig & I hope she comes to her senses by watching these episodes.

you are right, colin is an abuser, it might start out verbal, and could very well end up physical. what was that hand motion he made when they got to the pit stop? he was pointing to her to stand there? what was that about? chip hit it on the nose when he said colin needs attention...
