Go Brendan and Rachel! And girl feds!

I have not read the entire thread, and perhaps this has already been discussed, but when they had that hokey thing at the end with the girls getting lost at the finish line, I splained to Bigdog that the producers ALWAYS do that up up the suspense, and it is always fake, and the girls will check in next, and then the guys came running in while the girls were still wandering around the grounds. Well, blow me down!

I like the Fed Agents too.. and unlike Brendon, I'm not anti Border Agents..

Cherie the clown bugs me, but that could change, I suppose.

The previews don't look good for Rachel Reilly but that could be misleading. But drama and tears shown..

The Fitness guy.. I'd have been fine with them going out first. Who sneers at learning to drive stick for this race???

Much narrower range of ages this time. Too bad. 25-45. 33.45 average and the youngest team is now out.

I did like how they foiled bunching at the airport with the second flights. That way the girls who took 1 hour 45 minutes to find the first clue didn't manage to get off first on the long flight and somehow be ahead.

Leg 1 NOTE: For the first Road Block, the person who did NOT choose to do the RB actually had to jump from a plane..

Empanadas? YES, please.
B&R don't bother me, there is always a couple on Amazing Race that can be bickering anyway and drive me nuts.

Not sure of a favorite yet, but I am okay with the sisters being the first one out.

Anybody who doesn't like this TAR should watch one (or all) of the Asian versions! No re-treads there and excellent roadblocks and beautiful scenery! YES, they are in English!

I thought the gal clown was dismal enough in the last episode - now we get tears?

Me, neither! Love garden gnomes, but clowns are creepy! Did nobody else see Stephen King's "It"??? {{{shudder}}}

I not only find clowns creepy - but you can throw gnomes into the mix. And whenever the teams have to carry around a Travelocity gnome to the pit stop, it gives me the heebe-jeebies.

I've read "It" over and over again...one of my favorite books...and yes, I did see the movie.

At least the clowns aren't doing the race in full makeup - but if they go any way at all I'm sure there will be a clown makeup challeenge.

Don't professional clowns have their face painting pattern "registered" or "trademarked" or something like that? I seem to have read that somewhere -

What is it about clowns that you all seem to dislike? I love clowns. My son-in-law is obsessed with clowns and does art work featuring them. When I was three years old I went to Ringling Brothers Circus and there was a fire in the main tent. Hundreds were killed and many children were trampled. The clowns did everything they could to get us all out safely. I read Emmett Kelly's autobiography and he remember that fire as the worst day of his life. They changed all the rules about circus tents afterwards, but I have no fear of clowns even though I was introduced to them under terrible circumstances.

That all said, I don't think the clowns in this race have a chance to win. The other teams seem much stronger and focused.

Clowns don't bother me but for those who don't like them, I suspect it has something to do with the heavy makeup, hidden face and exaggerated features and mannerisms.

Emmett Kelly, as I remember, played a sad clown.He was not scary.

I don't like jumping and running clowns. They are scary.

Yes, I think it has to do with the heavy makeup. Gives me the creeps. They look all happy and smiley, but you know underneath they're just waiting to drag you into the sewer and kill you. {{{shudder}}}

Stephen King's "IT" fed people's fear of clowns.

At a shopping center here a couple years ago some clowns put on a little show outside a shopping center and then pulled out guns and robbed the people who stopped to watch them.

Talk about the perfect disguise.

I re-watched the show today as I always have a hard time at the beginning trying to keep folks straight and remember info about the different teams. I am better prepared to watch tomorrow night now -

I re watched the show today too. My focus was really on Rachel and Brendon and I thought they did a great job.
The two from Kentucky could get old in a hurry.
Looks like some good comeptitve male/female teams.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night.
