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.

No lie!

Nothing like testing a relationship like lack of sleep, utter exhaustion, and stress beyond all comprehension!!

That NY couple has some SERIOUS issues!! He's like, "I love you, but slow down, you're beating me.", "She isn't supposed to be talking to other people (during the overnight break time), she's supposed to be supporting me", and the creme de la creme, "you are not allowed to talk while climbing." But, she's no prize either - HATING the other twosome because they didn't say Hi. Geez... What age are they? Junior High?

And those Frat Guys are an embarrassment to Fraternity Guys!!! Please keep your shirts on in the future!!

"you are not allowed to talk while climbing."

I would have kept right on talking, but I'm contrary.

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...

I am still watching this although it is nowhere as good as it has been in the past. So glad tonight's team has finally been eliminated. I have wanted them gone since forever!!!

Agreed - the divorcees drove me nuts.

Now, if only Tina & Ken can be the next to go - I have not liked them since the beginning, and I was not happy that last week was an NEL.

I took such a perverse pleasure in seeing Kelly get pelted with the paint. Good riddance.

Tina & Ken have grown on me. Even Starr and her brother have grown on me. The couple I can't stand now is the brunette and her whiney boyfriend who always has something to criticize his gf about.

I'll take Starr & Nick anyday - I agree about the dating couple (they can be next after Tina & Ken!). Andrew & Dan aren't that interesting, either. This season's looking to be a wash for me for any favorites that I'll be rooting at the end to win.

Me too! They were like the girls in that movie "Mean Girls" always talking mean, non-race related trash about the other teams. UGGH!!

Ditto! That guy is SUCH a whiner!!! I cringe when he speaks so disrespectfully to his partner yet berates her for not kissin his hiney!!

Oh, no question . . . the only team that I would have been even happier to see leave would have been Terrence and Sarah. He is a real piece of work.

The only teams I like at this point are Nick and Starr and Mom (forget her name) and Dallas. I want them in the final three.

Dan and Andrew are okay -- nice enough guys, I guess, but not smart racers. Ken and Tina I like okay sometimes, other times they (mainly she) grates on my nerves.

Yeah, there just haven't been any great teams this go around. Too bad they missed out on nittanyalum and me.

I'm still holding out hope for the next casted season!

AGDee · #29 11-11-2008, 12:19 AM

I like Nick and Starr and Mom and Dallas also. I think it's cute that Starr and Dallas have crushes on each other, but I keep thinking of the Dallas Starrs... I didn't see the end of the show this week (have it on DVR but haven't watched it yet) but the women who don't read the clues carefully make me CRAZY!!! Did she even look at the envelopes before she ripped them down???

MysticCat · #30 11-17-2008, 01:04 PM

Well, this being the season of teams who can't/don't read the clues continues.

So glad that Terence and Sarah are gone. They should have left FF spot the moment that they saw that Terence had to eat meat. Even if he could have downed it faster than Starr and Nick, chances are his digestive system would have rebelled, possibly making the next leg of the race even more of a challenge. Had they quickly made the decision not to try, it looked like it would have been Andrew and Dan going home instead. Not that I'm complaining.

(And what was he thinking? If he was going to be willing to eat meat, then that should have been part of his preparation prior to the race. What race hasn't had an eating challange, and the eating challenge often involves meat of some sort. He should have seen it coming and figured out how he would deal with it, and if he was going to deal with it by eating it, then he should have reacquainted his system with meat prior to the race.)
