Living Fearlessly - Teams travel to Switzerland where they free-fall over 400 feet into the Gletscherschlucht Glacier Gorge. RIP Janelle & Britney. Enjoy the show!

Switzerland is SO pretty. But you'd have to kick me off that platform, I couldn't make myself jump off.

*whew* I'm glad Nic and Vic got a NEL. I hope they can make up for it on the next leg...and leave the Reilly brats in the dust.

Ugh, I'm so sick of Rachel! She's just so immature, petty, mean, stupid ("If the snow melts, is it still an Alp?"). I can't stand her and the way she treats people, but then acts like she never does anything wrong. Her sister seems a little more reasonable, but Rachel really isn't reasonable at all. I'd rather have the crying, emotional -if fake sounding- Rachel than this cold, mean, snot. I'd have a hard time not telling her to shut up!
Now she's run the most legs of AR ever if she finishes this next one, so her head's probably huge. I really hope they go next so she can't get that particular record. I really can't watch much more of her. She's ruining this show for me.
Nicole has her own issues, but I'd much rather watch her than Rachel any day. She and Victor rocked that memory challenge, and she was actually right about their trip to the pit stop - Vic should have listened to her. She was probably exhausted after doing all those challenges that she needed all her courage to face.
The scenery was gorgeous this episode, as it so often is. It makes me want to travel the world!! And helps me discover the places I really *don't* want to go. Some of the activities looked like they might be dangerous though; if they had not jumped correctly into that very shallow pool, they could have been really hurt. And that place where they had to let go right when their guide said so, looked pretty serious too. The huge jump looked kind of fun though - scary, but fun!
Previews for next week allude to a U-turn vote, or something like that?

So next week they all vote who to u-turn, I'm hoping they vote for Rachel and Elissa, I'm sick of those two..once they leave, I won't care who wins. The scenery was gorgeous, the tasks were great! Well done Tyler and Corey and team fun, Becca is fearless Nicole got a but whiny, I'm not a fan of hers, but love me some Victor.. Please, let the sisters get eliminated soon. Hopefully next so Rachel will be denied the record. ..

A lovely, fun episode until the mat when the Reilly sisters gave a verbal beat-down to Nicole and Victor. I mean right in front of another team, Phil and the country's host. I cried right along with Nicole.
Please let N/V get through their speed bump and come in ahead of the brats.

It's too bad Victor didn't listen to Nicole, but I guess it didn't matter, since it was a non-elimination leg.
I don't like Rachel and Elissa at all, but I was with them as far as not understanding why Victor and Nicole would ask the others if what the sisters said was true. I was glad that they did, because it turned everyone against them, but it didn't make any sense to rat someone out who was trying to give you a heads up as their ally.

I don't have a lot of love for Rachel and her whining, however; they were trying to help Nicole and Victor. Their (not altogether altruistic) kindness was repaid 10x with un-kindness. That was a pretty cr@ppy thing for Nicole and Victor to do. IMO, the Reilly sisters came out looking like the better people (up until Rachel called them out on the mat which was not well done, but she wasn't wrong either.) The sisters even tried to dissuade the other two teams from u-turning Nicole and Victor by bringing up other names.

When Phil mentioned that Rachel would be the record holder if she completes what would be her 31st leg of the race, I thought it was a foreshadowing that she would not.

Victor didn't believe them, or there was more to what we saw. I much prefer AR couples that just run their own race, and don't hook up as in BB or survivor, I've yet to see this plan out well for anyone

Ugh! There is nothing I could do on these legs. And how much did I love team fun for going to a pub? If that were a leg I could do that. I'm a very good beer drinker but useless when it comes to heights and athletic pursuits.
Agree with everyone with regard to how horrible the sisters are. Even if they were trying to give Victor and Nicole a heads up, they did it in a very selfish manner hoping that they would uturn team fun.
Le sigh. I love all of these places and want to every single one of them.

The sisters even tried to dissuade the other two teams from u-turning Nicole and Victor by bringing up other names. Rachel was not kind she edited her conversation and targeted Team Fun. Rachel and her sister were trying to avoid the fact that Colin and Christie and Granimals were in the conversation. That was shady. IMHO Colin and Christie and the Granimals are stronger teams then Team Fun so if you are going to target someone target someone stronger. Rachel and her sister also managed to annoy Team Survivor. I certainly hope that Rachel and her sister get voted into the U Turn. Rachel would be the first person to backstab any of the other teams while lying about it to their faces and play the victim that they made her do it.
I do get that Rachel and her sister where trying to help Victor and Nichol BUT they should not have lied about the circumstances, that is what got them into trouble.

She's a big personality, but has always rubbed me the wrong way, and the way she was trying to be manipulative this episode was just awful and totally not what I want to see on TAR. If she gets eliminated next, the tears on the map will be so over the top, particularly if all of her "mean" castmates voted her into a U-Turn that ends her race.....

I am not a Rachel fan, but I guess I didn't understand why Victor and Nicole were so upset that they told them. They literally gave you a heads up and some how they came up looking like the bad ones. I watched that part of the episode again. Rachel and Elissa were sitting with the Granimals, and Team Fun. It was the Granimals who actually suggested that Victor and Nicole be targeted at the next U Turn and Team Fun agreed. Afterward in the airport, Rachel said it would be a good idea to tell Victor and Nicole that Team Fun was targeting them for a U Turn and if Victor and Nicole got to the U Turn first they could U Turn Team Fun and Rachel and Elissa would have clean hands. On the train when Rachel and Elissa had a private conversation with Victor and Nicole, when Victor was trying to get more details about what happened, Rachel and Elissa BOTH lied and said they overheard Team Fun said they were going after Victor and Elissa. They insisted that this was true and didn't understand why Victor and Nicole would not believe them. Victor said that didn't sound right, that Team Fun wouldn't do that (IMHO I think Victor thought there was something off about how things happen, I also don't think he quite trusts Rachel). He wanted to confirm the statement. I don't blame him. On one hand Rachel and Elissa were trying to help Victor and Nicole but they also twisted it so it would be beneficial to them. That was the crux of the problem. If they had not done that R & E would not have all the teams turn on them as it looked. They would have strong allies in Victor and Nicole but instead they don't have any allies.

I too get they wanted to TRY and help but the story they were telling got very convoluted. Nicole at her core is a good person, she isn't always out for her. Vic is more aggressive, but he too is a good person, even if he thinks they speak Swiss in Switzerland.

And if Rob Mariano were on and made the move the Reilly’s tried, he’d be called a strategic genius by some.
Rachel’s number one problem is not knowing when to zip it. She didn’t tie this TAR record or win BB because she’s stupid.

Reality TV gold. As is often said, to each their own. Rob CAN be a big baby too. He is more an ass where as Rachel is more of a whiner and witch. She isn't stupid, but as much as I do not like Rob at all, he is far smarter than she is. If Rob were to try this, he would have had 99 steps to the plan already in place and 3 people to back him up. The sisters were flying solo and didn't have a cohesive story in place. They just went about it badly, if they thought it out it would have worked, but they didn't and there was no U-Turn so it was all for nothing in the end... and given the preview for tomorrow, it will end up backfiring on them big I feel. ETA: and for who is more annoying.. I say put them both on the island and forget about them. Neither is entertaining in my book. Rachel whines far too much for me and Rob has a bully mentality, and has grown a sense of entitlement over the years, neither are things I can get behind.

I don't know them personally, I just like or dislike certain people on my screen. I love team fun on the AR, I think they make each episode fun, for me. I'm hoping they win..if not, I hope they last longer than the sisters..

I'll be heartbroken if/when team fun is in last place. I just love them. OMG, the tshirts that they made and have on? Love!
Have to join in and say that I'm glad the sisters are gone. I really like the love and friendship that the other teams have with each other and the sisters really didn't but any value to that.
Next episode will be hard because I really like the remaining teams.
