Amazing Race! 9/30

[otowngirl]

So excited this is back on! Any early favorites / least favorites?

I kind of like the NY / Sri Lankan twins.

Yay! It's still on our DVR so haven't watched it yet. But so excited it's back!

DH and I were saying there are a lot more memorable teams this season. Normally the first few weeks we're trying to get teams straight, but there were only a few generic ones last night, we thought. I love the twins, they amuse me along with the goat farmers, metal rockers, and the Chippendales. For some reason the monster truckers pulling those wheelie bags annoys me lol.

That first team eliminated weirded me out, the woman seemed extremely submissive. I wonder what their relationship is like.

Yes! I hated how at the end he corrected her and said, "You didn't choose me, I chose you." WTF.

Yeah, I'm kind of glad they are gone! They were strange, and WTF was up with them thinking they needed to go to a bank when the clue specifically said the Bund and they were already there? Very weird.

No favorites yet, but they do seem to have a very eclectic cast this year.

No favorites yet, but I agree about the eliminated woman. The whole "I chose you" thing and the part where he was apparently totally taking over the wedding was odd.

Anyway, so far the twins have kind of annoyed me. I may like the team that came in second, although I couldn't believe that they gave away that info. Doh! That stinks.

Dang I didn't even know a new season was coming on but I am glad it is.

I found the twins to be SO annoying. Their voices were like nails on a chalkboard. And the bickering while doing the ping pong challenge - ugh, shut up already!

I love the goat farmers. The metal guys are great too.

Me too! I was glad they left early. I hate hate hate when they have a couple where one member is a jerk to the other. Most reality shows cast for drama but Amazing Race should be above that.

The Sri Lankan twins bugged me when they were arguing, and were brats about their fourth place finish because they wanted first. I think they're going to be annoying.

Same here. There are often multiple white straight couples with annoying girls / a-hole guys who I can't tell apart. This year I think they're all fairly different. I was getting the two older husbands mixed up until they showed the wives, but since one is now gone, that won't be a problem.

I also like the farmers and the dude from White Lion.

This!! I think the twins will have a fit if/when they get eliminated.
