And I promise we wouldn't call each other "Baby."

I've never referred to a person as "Baby" my entire life.

I do, however, suggest we get our spouses "in" on it and then only refer to each other as "pookie" and "sweetikins" the entire show just to see how much negative press coverage and irate blogging we can generate. It would be like two game shows in one!!

Me neither. I've only used the term when singing along with the Beatles or some other 60s/early 70s group.

(Now I have The Carpenters running through my head. My wife loves them.

"Don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby? . . . .")

No, I think I'd be even better to come up with completely made up terms for each other. Think of the buzz then -- "What are they talking about?" "Is this the new slang?" "Those crazy GRSSKS!"

Or you just keep calling me "MC" or "Cat" and I'll call you "NA" or "Nitt." But we'd never explain why.

Brilliant. I'm in. Let's go.

*bump*

There is a team of Southern Belles and a team of Frat Boys..LOL My son is rooting for the self professed Geeks.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! !!

Stupid car battery for dying. Stupid AAA for taking 2+ hours to get to me.

I missed the premier.

More evidence that MC and Nittany *must* get on this show... you two are quite entertaining, funny, and not the least bit annoying, which differentiates you from every single team on the show this year.

Despite having 11 teams, there just are not people on there that are likeable or that I want to root for at this point. I had hopes for the couple from New York, as they initially seemed somewhat normal. But even they were annoying by the end of the show.

The geeks are okay, but oh my... they are certainly geeks! Holy Moly!

The beekeepers were sweet at the end, but didn't we all see that elimination coming from the very beginning?

The divorcees seem alright, except that they dress exactly the same, which drives me crazy.

Most annoying of all? The mom/son. I initially thought this would be a sweet and interesting pairing... until we actually met them. He is a dork, and she can't cut the cord. God Bless any woman who wants to marry that guy... as she will be getting a Two-Fer on that matrimony.

The team in camo also needs to go. Very soon. How obnoxious is that girl?? Why do we need to see footage of her doing cheers all the time?

And the thing that drives me the most crazy... every season there is at least one couple who goes on this show to see if there relationship is meant to be. Huh? Really? Sure there are some real life qualities that are important- communication, compromise, etc., but really. Your husband cheats on you and the *only* way to know it will work is to go on a trip around the world? Pul-eeze.

Of course despite all this I will watch every episode and I hope to eventually find a team to cheer for. But here is hoping for Team GC next season and all the "hijinks" that would ensue. Much. Better. Television.

I gotcher back, pardner! I watched and I'm taking notes on strategies and locations, no worries. I agree with Blondie93, no real "impressive" teams that I can identify yet, we'da cleaned up on this season for sure. (and yeah, yikes at the "Frat Guys" from AZ State!)

Sorry to hear about your car --- 2 hours for AAA? Sounds like someone's not living up to what you pay those membership costs for!

Thanks for the encouragement for our GC team, Blondie, I'm gonna go get back to my lunges and hurdler stretches right now...
