TAR 12

[jitterbug13]

I'm rooting for the goths as well as the brother/sister team. I hope the brother is single.

I thought it was perfect that the two most annoying teams got the donkeys that didn't want to move. I wanted both of those teams to be eleminated, but I'll take the wannabe Will and Grace for right now.

I know the blonds were disapointed that they weren't no hot guys to flirt with this season.

Rumor has it that this season will be two episodes shorter and no non-eleminaton stops.

Yeah, didn't it used to be 16 teams rather than 11? Or am I remembering that wrong?

I'm guessing then they'll do some multiple "continuation" legs, since Phil said that there were 11 legs to the race.

I was dying laughing last night with Nathan and Jennifer with the donkey - I'm still "eh" about the teams, too, but those two were the worst (oh yeah, and the "baby"s from Lorena and Jason - I think we've found the new Hayden & Aaron )

ETA: I've always remembered it as 11 teams - maybe one season with 12? No more than that

I think it's always been 11 teams of two. I too heard that they got rid of the non-elimination legs this time, so when Phil said, "...the last team to arrive at the pit stop WILL be eliminated," in the beginning when he was explaining the rules of the race, that sealed it in my mind.

I noticed right away when I read about the teams that almost all of them were from L.A. That really bugs me. Especially since all those teams seem to be actors, and most of them are dating. Basically, a bunch of the teams feel the same to me.

I'm rooting for the father-daughter because I like the teams that do the race with a family member, plus that team is from the Seattle area

Y'all indeed heard right: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/ent...rty-offer.html

I really like the fact that new countries are being visited. I always knew Ireland was beautiful...makes me want to visit there even more!
