I'm replying to something you wrote a while back. Alas, I cannot deliver on the list you requested. I don't record episodes, nor do I take notes. I pretty much just take in the show as a whole and do not dwell on details.

However, the wildest colts make the best horses. I find women like Jen very challenging, and my tongue is more than sharp enough to give at least as as good as I get in the repartee department. When they see that they don't win by throwing insults, they soon try something else.

With that said, if you watch her performance as a whole, her little overreactive hot flashes are pretty much short term and situational. Usually she's all smiles soon thereafter when the crisis is over. I am an expert tournament bridge player, and personalities like Jen's are very common, even typical, in that arena. Bridge players under competitive pressure tend to act just like Jen when they feel their partner has let them down or things just are generally not going the way they should, although they may be humble little marshmallow people away from the bridge table. BTW, it's pretty clear that we see each team for a very small part of the time it takes to complete a leg, and the editors will pounce on every show of temper that a player like Jen presents.

They did a lot of good things during the game, but were very unlucky at all the wrong times. Time after time, they would build up nice advantages based on skill, but then would get screwed by circumstances over which they had no control, especially toward the end of a leg when they had no opportunity to recover or restitute.

Indeed, my main problem with this show is that there are so many bunching points that only a really serious mistake toward the beginning of a leg is usually costly, while it takes only a bit of bad luck toward the end of a leg to swing the result, and in some cases, produce an essentially random result.
