My guess is the obnoxious lawyer, Lance. He needs to tone it down, oh I don't know, about 539 notches! Also, how many times could he tell us that he was a lawyer? Geez. I got total douche-bag feelings from him.

I have said it in TAR threads before, but I just don't get those "we are trying to decide if we are right for each other" couples that need to go around the world to find the answer. That couple has been dating on and off for SEVEN years. Methinks that you should know good and well by now.

Well, I forgot to set the DVR, so I missed the first part of the show. I didn't start watching until the poker girls were looking for their lost tourists, and I had the TAR website up to help me keep the contestants straight. I was so confused why I was never seeing that yoga couple! Once I figured out that there must have been a super early elimination I was feeling really bad for them. How awful to get so excited about this opportunity, get all ready for it, and not even make it to the airport.
It wasn't until the next day that I watched the first part of the show online, and yeah, my thoughts were the same as yours. Both of those teams are completely obnoxious. It was also really funny to watch the contestants be interviewed prior to the show. YogaGuy was uber-confident about making it until the end. Made me giggle knowing that he was about to have the shortest stay in TAR history!

I sort of understand. There have been teams in the past that have been willing to throw others a bone and work together. There have also been instances where contestants have been resentful of a team that is perceived to already be "rich," as if that makes them less deserving of winning. They just wanted to start on a level playing field. I do agree with you, though, that the lie should have been a little more thought out. They should also know that people in airports will have a tendency to recognize them.

(Meanwhile, I loved that Zev said he just wasn't getting a "help homeless people vibe" from poker girls. Heh.)

Interesting thought. I do like Zev... I find him very funny.
All in all, it should shape up to be a decent season. They are villians, there are likeables, and there are entertaining contestants. My early favorites are the globetrotters, Zev and Justin, and Sam and Dan. I actually like the poker players too... I find them to be very funny.
