Now, having watched the first episode, I feel like I'm *qualified* to post my opinions....
It was really interesting to see how much was thrown at the teams on the first day. Maybe because the premiere was 90 minutes long (have they ever had one for 90 minutes previously???), they threw more stuff at the teams, and the upcoming episodes will settle down into more *normal* pace and amount of tasks.
I could not believe Chip & Kim and Kami & Karli missing the clue
across the street from the hotel (nor could I believe K&K walking
right past the clue box after getting off of the ferry. It does seem like the teams do need to be A LOT more observant this season than in prior seasons (although teams in those seasons had to search for the route markers, too).
Now, the teams I'm actually enjoying watching:
Jim & Marsha
Linda & Karen
Mirna & Charla (I know I'm in the minority here)
K&K (even though they've been really dumb!)
Dennis and Erica (I wish they were still in the race
)
The teams I tolerate:
Alison & Donny (although I laughed when Alison went down the zip and hit the water pretty hard)
Brandon & Nicole
Colin & Christie
Chip & Kim
The teams I dislike:
Marshall & Lance
Bob & Joyce
Now, on to waiting for next week's entertainment
