    Ok,I know they are very conceited,rude and annoying sometimes.
    BUT,with Dave & Rachel,they dominated S20,like Erik & Jeremy and BJ & Tyler did in S9.
    And they really were a strong team,because they won 3 legs in a row,and had the 5th Highest Average Placement.
    By the way,they gave a part of the money to Bopper & Mark,so,they are good people.

    Rachel was like the Flo of this season.
    She cryed,whined,bickered and made her partner look bad.
    Thank god she didn't won.

    davidkatz Why did they make a big deal about the u-turn? 1 May 5 2012, 11:57 PM EDT by tatasport
    Thread started: Apr 24 2012, 6:02 PM EDT  Watch
    I have no idea why these guys were being such babies last episode about the u-turn. brenchel got u-turned either way, and besides the race isn't about trying to team up on other people. Dave/Rachel should race how they want to. Don't get me wrong, i'm happy they were u-turned but still, shut up about dave/rachel not u-turning them. jeez!

    Does anyone else here find their attitude a turn-off... no denying that they are indeed strong competitors, but I really do not like them going "We are the team to beat", "We must be #1" and blah blah blah -.- We get it, stop. Most recently they have said "There is nobody that has the intellect and strength that we do to win" and that was the worst. Seriously arrogant, I hope they get hit by stroke of bad luck and get eliminated.
