At one point, she is sobbing in the back seat, wailing about why can't he ever help her with anything, ever, ever -- while he is growling in the front seat about how he is really going to take it out on her if things do not go well. At the end, he was so pissed that he smacked her so hard on the arm that it knocked the clue or whatever it is right out of her hand. Predictions: 1) She is going to show up for one of these episodes with a black eye after "walking into a door." 2) There is going to be some sort of domestic violence prevention intervention for these two.

I am rarely disturbed while watching t.v. (I have work for that) but it greatly disturbs me that the casting people at CBS chose them to participate in TAR. Maybe this is just sour grapes (Less and I would have been so much more entertaining and if he pushed me, he'd be finishing the race in a wheelchair) but there's no way that the casting people didn't know that this was an abusive relationship given the extensive amounts of psychological testing and interviews that they put these people through. They just thought it would be good t.v. to put these assjacks on the show and now they're going to act like they are trying to "help" the couple (with Phil telling Jonathan to go talk to his wife) when it's their fault that the couple was put into such a stressful situation (which cleary is exacerbating Jonathan's violent tendencies) in the first place.
And they should have picked me and Less, dammit.
