TAR 12

[nittanyalum]

I don't have a team I'm definitely rooting for yet either, although the dad-daughter team tugged at my heart strings last night (he was so sweet about not wanting to disappoint her). I don't think they're strong enough to make it all the way through, though. I don't think the grandson/grandfather will make it far either. The clergy ladies might be surprise dark horses, they seem to be the smart 'n steady kind of team. We'll be like that too, MC, although we'll be smart, steady and SPEEDY too, I'm sure...

ETA: The blond bombshell team irritated me by insisting on being filmed in their bikinis and being blatant that they planned to tramp their way through the race -- they barely made it through last night so we'll see how well that plan works. And so far no "outrageous" characters like in seasons past that I could detect -- maybe some will emerge in the coming weeks...?

And we'll keep a good sense of humor the whole time.

Did we REALLY need another blond bombshell team? I seriously think it's too soon after Dustin and Kandice. At least the Beauty Queens had some likeability to them. BB Part Two? I really hoped that they would have been eliminated last night. However, I'm happy Ari and Staela did. Cha Cha Cha, YOU ARE NOT!

Aside from the whole plethora of dating couples...did anyone notice that a lot of them were from LA/Southern California? Did no one from the rest of the country apply?

I'm rooting for the goths for now. "Two fairies on a ferry!" ...classic!
