This Season's Amazing Race

<p>TAR is one of my favorite shows and I’m so happy that it’s back! The first episode was a good one and gave a good introduction to each team. It’s so hard when there are so many at first to remember all of them.</p>

<p>I like a lot of the teams so far: Meghan and Shayne (the cute young blonde couple), Herb and Nate (the G-Trotters), Sam and Dan (the gay brothers), Gary and Matt (the dad and son).</p>

<p>I didn’t like : Maria and Tiffany (the poker players) - lying about working for a non-profit that helps homeless children? That’s not only got to be an all-time low on TAR, but it’s really stupid. The other teams will no doubt discover their lie and they’ll lose any advantage to having a close ally. Mika and Canaan (the singing duo) who spent much of their intro touting the fact that they’re Christians and will pray for themselves to win, then wasted no time before starting to swear at each other and him shouting that he’d like to tear her head off during the roadblock with the ducks.</p>

<p>Tony, I agree with you. It really is amazing how poorly some people ‘run the race’. They are clearly fans of the show and should know how important it is to pay close attention to the clues. Many teams seem to ignore all that they could have learned simply by watching previous seasons.</p>

<p>I love it when they lose the clue, misread the clue or get on the worst flight…if every team did it right the show would be boring.<br>
My pet peeve is the every season Christian team who are praying to win. I’d like to see a Buddhist team…</p>

<p>Love TAR. It’s one of the few shows that DH and I both really like to watch together.
I liked the father/son farmer team.</p>

<p>It seems like all the teams are really different this season. So many times the teams are pretty much indistinguishable from each other. I think it will make for a very cool season. I, too, liked Asperger Guy and his partner (Zev and Justin?) a lot. I just laughed and laughed at how surreal it must have been to hop right off a plane after quite a few hours, and then have to perform in a Japanese game show! What a hoot!</p>
