The "country of London"???? OK....that was one of the funniest lines I've seen on this show (and Phil's reaction was hilarious)...

I really enjoyed this first show - I like all the teams, and was really nervous throughout the show, between the car breakdown, flat tire, can't find the pit stop, can't find the flag...it was tense, yet fun! Can't wait till next week!

I think it was the volleyball girls that were calling the other teams names. That turned me off of them a little. I'm glad that doctor has an insulin pump. It makes thing so, so much easier. I don't know how somebody would do the race having to lug around the needles, bottles and some kind of refrigerator pack for insulin. Keeping your insulin regulated with shots on this race would be next to impossible.

I am very happy to see a person with Type 1 diabetes running the race. I recall us having a discussion here about it last season and when I suggested it some people said it would never happen because it would be too difficult. I'm amazed at how well people with diabetes are able to manage it and get on with living their lives and this is a great example of someone who is doing just that!

Who is "Tinkerbell"? Someone was calling a female on one of the teams that... And I missed her male counterpart's name so can't figure it out myself. I mostly enjoyed this. Can't believe Nick/Vick were that clueless (um, what country are we in? LONDON? LOL!). And what's up with the rhyming names (Nat/Cat, Nick/Vick). Oh yeah and what's up with all the good looking peeps. They don't have hardly any "regular looking" peeps this time. The couple that ran around the entire castle grounds? Really? LOL! Sorry to see Ron and Tony go. I'd have liked to have seen them make it further. Altho I suspected the two would have trouble with that "boat" considering the difference in their sizes. (I guess M/F teams would also have a diff? Dunno why it made such an impression on me with those two.)

I thought Tinkerbell was Stephanie of the Chad and Stephanie team...I think they referred to Chad as "Pan" as well...but I could be wrong, this is a fast-paced show...

I think you are right about Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, Lycanthrope. There were a few times when I sensed that Jill and Thomas would eventually have some issues with one another...if looks could kill then a few times she was ready to throttle him. But hey, they came in first so good for them!

Thanks! Now I'll just have to watch next week to see if I can figure out why they did the Peter Pan/Tinkerbell references! LOL.

After the 1st show thoughts: The volleyball. chicks will me the nasty ones...I think they slammed everyone at sometime last night. I was completely lost about who or why there is a team Tinker Bell. Nick and Vicky better hope this was there worst leg....otherwise they ain't long for the road. I want Alice and Jenna to have some time together on the show. Oh, I liked the singing guys (Connor and Jonathan)...I love a good nerd! So far so good.

I don't really know, but guessed the Tinkerbell reference came from her blonde short pixie style haircut. And so he was Peter Pan.

I'm VERY jazzed to see someone with Type 1 diabetes doing one of these crazy reality competition shows AND showing her taking care of her diabetes - keep it up editors! I'll be cheering for the Docs.

I was sorry to see Ron and Tony go. However, I think that this is a pretty nice group.

They do all seem pretty nice, but I don't think we have ever had so many directionally challenged folks on one show! What will happen when few people speak English and they can't read a map/follow directions?

That would be my guess about the Tinkerbell reference too...her short gamine blonde hairstyle is Tink-ish.

At first I thought Brooke would drive me crazy with her, "Come on, Claire!!!" screeching, but after watching those videos, they are quickly becoming one of my favorite teams. They were so funny when they were laughing about the watermelon incident. I couldn't believe Claire didn't just fall apart at that point. She didn't even cry! I teared up in sympathy for her. I'm surprised she didn't have a concussion from getting slammed in the face like that! What determination to get up and finish the challenge like she did. Poor Ron & Tony! To go from the front of the pack to the back must have been heartbreaking for them. I knew they would have trouble with those little tippy boats. I'm glad they got to have an awesome vacation in Cancun. That house is fabulous! And Nick & Vicki? What can I say? Never heard of Stonehenge? The country of London? Don't know what a "battlement" is? They're giving a bad name to people with tattoos!
