Got no problem at all with homework. Got a big problem with parents who blame the teacher because their kid is not handing in their assignments. Playtime is great, but not if your kid grows up not knowing how to read or write a complete sentence, and can't do basic math without a computer or calculator.

Anyway, back on the subject, I really started out rooting hard for Luke and Margie, but quickly started to dislike both of them. Maybe Luke has grown up a little, but I'm not going to enjoy watching them if they act the same way they did last time.

And that photo of Jeff and Phil is just too much. I can't take seeing them both at once, my head might explode lol.

Not our problem at all. He's smart and doing well in school, but can't transition between home and school. It's the way his brain works. I would never blame his teacher for him not handing in his work.

Can't wait to see the Cowboys and ESPECIALLY Zev (the Duck Whisperer) & Justin in action again! I wasn't fond of Margie & Luke by the end of their race, but like my Sis mentioned maybe Luke has had a chance to grow up a bit (we will see, holding my thoughts there).

I see several other teams that I liked too. So this looks like it will be a fantastic race. Everyone is on the same footing, they've done it all before so they know what to expect.

Uhh oh, hmm. Am I getting this correct? New team LaKisha & Jennifer were the black sisters that Luke previously felt were okay to mow down/bully on a couple of occasions during his race?

Really holding my thoughts. Hoping TAR lays out some serious ground rules this time. That was the point I stopped rooting for M&L then.

Me, too, Biscottiii! It was okay for him to mow them down, but if they said anything about it, Margie/Mom leapt to his defense. That's when things got ugly, IIRC.

I liked the sisters and one of the things I remember is that I think it was Jennifer that had to do that run in the skimpy pants in the cold and she rocked that look!!

Here's an interview with the producer.. And it gives a nice tidbit: It looks like the first ep is NEL. The article mentions that the teams are informed that the first place team at the end of the first leg gets an Express Pass- but the last place team gets a U-Turn for the next leg and has to do both Detours...

You know, this should be interesting. The contestants now have a much better understanding of what they have to do to get ahead...what to pack, how to get tickets, when to buy maps and how to use local resources the best...hopefully it will cut down on some of the stupid mistakes that the inexperienced teams do.

But probably not!!! LOL!

Herb & Nate will be fun to watch again. Remember the water slide?

Who could forget that water slide & the little kiddie water wings. I still believe much of that caterwauling was to beef up publicity for the young woman's country singing portfolio.

I believe she and her boyfriend split up later. Wonder if it brought her more gigs?

Are there no archives of previous years for Amazing Race? I could have sworn Kent spelled his name Kynt in the past and wanted to check.

I think Kent is his real name but he definitely used Kynt last season.

According to this he's started using his birth name again to honour his dad:

Just heard there was a 6.3 earthquake earlier today in Christchurch, New Zealand (tomorrow there). Phil is from Christchurch. Are his parents there? Probably some family. Hope his family and everyone there is OK.

Wasn't there a 7 point something one there last summer? I don't think the houses are made for it so I bet there's a lot of damage.

I think the one last summer was a little stronger. Segment on Nightline tonight about it. It did look bad.

The earthquake in Christchurch in September didn't cause as much damage or loss of life as the one that just happened.
