Oh, I'm pretty sure I want Ron and Christina to go next...well, could we have Ron and Mel (and not because I don't like Mel but I'm not sure I can agonize over those leg cramps for very much longer...I share his pain!) drop out and pair up Mike and Christina? That would work for me. He is beyond supercilious and condescending.

Am I the only one that was impressed with Kent getting an "A" in chemistry in high school? I sure didn't see that one coming. Still don't like: Margie/Luke; Jamie/Cara; and Mallory is really, really walking on my last nerve.

Everyone was so excited about the new season (including me) that I didn't want to say too much negative. Now that the shine has worn off a bit, I have to confess that I was pretty disappointed with their selection of second chance teams. Let's see what they came up with. Herb and Nate: Great guys but they basically gave up last time so I'm not sure they should get a second chance over other teams that tried right to the end. LaKisha and Jennifer: They pretty much gave up at the swimming pool last time and knowing they were going back on the race, didn't bother to try to learn how to swim. Again, I'm all for second chances but the people have to at least want to try. Jaime and Cara: I can't remember which one played the role of ugly American traveler but at least they are okay to look at (hey I am a guy). Ron and Christina: Another team who obviously learned very little from their experience last time, with Ron back being bossy and demanding. Mel and Mike: Nice guys but another team that obviously has no chance of winning (again) and meeting the physical demands of the race. Margie and Luke: I really want to like this team but I don't for most of the reasons that other people have mentioned. So finally we get to the teams I kind of like .... Amanda and Kris: Liked them a lot the last time and felt bad that they got u-turned. Of course, they are the first eliminated (sigh). Gary and Mallory: She is a little shrill at times but I still like them as a team. I enjoy her enthusiasm. At least they care and seem to want to be there Jet and Cord: A bit laid back and indifferent but fun. Kent and Vyxsin: They are a fun team. Zev and Justin: I think they are my favourites so far. So overall, it's not terrible but there are some other teams that I would rather see on the race than more than half of these and that doesn't make for a great season.

Why all the Luke/Mom hate this season? They haven't showed them much at all. (Did I see Luke kiss a guy in this episode??) I think I like most all the teams, and the ones I don't actually like, I don't dislike (Kisha & Jen, Luke & Mom, and the girls).

Luke and mom are just annoying. He is immature, and she is a ditz. Will be happy to see them go. Not crazy about the cowboys either, didnt like them last time. Dont really have favorites. I like Kent and Vyxsin but as I recall from the last time they were on, he can be pretty ugly when things arent going his way.

I think Luke kissed either Mike or Mel. To be honest so far he hasn't annoyed me nearly as much as he did last time (or she hasn't annoyed me in her overly protective treatment of him...I'm hopeful that maybe she has let him learn to stand on his own two feet since they were last on the race). I understand being protective of your child, especially one with special needs, but she was a bit extreme in the past. I fear the longer they stay in the race the more this will surface. I have always loved the Cowboys...they never get frustrated with one another and they always seem to be enjoying themselves, even when they aren't successful. I also like that they choose not to curse, despite the fact that they replace it with sometimes odd phrases (but since I'm from Texas they don't seem nearly as odd to me).

Luke appears to be extremely emotional and really puts his feelings out on display. Margie enables that and I think that turns a lot of people off.

Since Luke has fallen on both episodes so far, maybe he can't stand on his own two feet? I don't find Jaime/Cara attractive and yes I'm not a man but I can still find women attractive. Obviously Phil is on Jimmer's page since apparently he felt the other women were dogmeat and only J/C were the cutest in those outfits. There is a lot of helping out of teams probably deemed less competition this time. Christina should perhaps help less..she lead three other groups with her solution to the clue in ep 1 and her team lost ground. And this time it could have backfired badly at the end too. She is stuck with Ron as it is. I wasn't surprised about Kent's A in Chemistry.. why not? I heard one of the Globetrotters comment to the other that he'd be stoked by the table, sounded like he new that stuff, but they ended up in a group mind meld so didn't hear that in action. The cowboys are okay. Mallory is BEYOND irritating! I was feeling all that Ron was saying about her too.. I hope the Globetrotters will be more in it this time. Jen already has shown the same petulance.. so far Kisha has carried them and then Jen was pouting in the car.

All of my dislike of Margie/Luke came from the way they acted last time. That one confrontation on the mat with Keisha and Jen was just the last straw for me. I'm trying to give them a fresh start this time around, but all I've seen so far is them glomming onto other teams for help instead of actually doing the tasks themselves. But a lot of the teams are doing that this time, and it's getting annoying all around. I still love the show, but I wish these tasks didn't enable them to do so much "copying" of other teams.

I ask all to note that the Cowboys do not "glom!" I don't understand why anybody could dislike them, but different strokes for different folks!

Thanks Lexie. For the record, I don't find either Jaime or Cara exceptionally physically attractive. For example, I think that Amanda is cuter than both of them (but we are getting off-topic here). I'm not happy about all the following and copying of tasks. I just expect more from people who have already run the race and are getting a second chance. I get the feeling that some of these teams are just phoning it in and that is disappointing.

EXACTLY how I feel about them ... and I see it happening, they havent done 1 task themself. they take help, but dont give it back. and lukes tantrums when things arent going his way are beyond irritating. I know he is deaf, but he is also a GROWN UP... Last years the cowboys were ok for me, but then they started to play dirty at the end, and that turned me off along with all ther cockyness last year. hard to get over both of these teams last antics ... for me anyway.

In my opinion a lot of times others tried to follow the Cowboys, but again, that's just my opinion. We all see things differently depending upon how we view the contestants. I am liking Kent and Vyxsin a lot better this time, Mallory is annoying me a lot more, I don't think Jaime and Cara are nearly as attractive (what is with the heavy hair color...are they trying to match?), still like the Globetrotters but feel they lack a killer instinct, LaKisha and Jen haven't annoyed me yet (although I agree that you would think they would have learned how to swim...why wouldn't you?), I actually like Mel and Mike better this time (but think that they should have turned down this opportunity if they knew Mel's health was an issue and allowed another team to re-experience the race), and think that Lev and Justin are hilarious...well, Lev is hilarious. He comes out with some unexpected one-liners...don't know for sure whether he does it on purpose or it is just the way things come out of his mouth...but he cracks me up.

Not shocked at A/K's elimination, though was glad it was somewhat close- once there was that bunching point with the flights, I knew the odds weren't good for them. (though why did all of them take the mosaic Detour option except A/K, who were forced to do it? I thought the other one seemed to look a lot quicker to do)...

I still dislike the two brothers and was so hoping they'd exit last night. I'm still not fans of Margie and Luke, and their codependency. I like Gary but a little Mallory goes a LONG way. Ron and Christina just need to go. They didn't learn diddly their season and they are a waste of a space. Mel and Mike are another waste of a space. They have zero chance of winning. Jaime/Cara don't bother me as much this time around. The jury is still out on LaKisha and Jen. And while I like Zev and Justin, I don't think they can win this. So at this point, I think the Globetrotters, or Kent/Vyxsin would make me happy if either won. I kind of agree with Jimmer about the picking of teams this season. I'm really not impressed with how they picked the teams but maybe the ones they wanted they couldn't get (like the 2nd place team from last season). Dunno... BUT... all that said, I totally laughed out loud and the kangaroo costumes. And the looks the locals were giving them.

I agree about the second task too Wilson...although spitting paint looked kind of gross it sure seemed that task was easier (of course we know this in retrospect...they had no way of knowing that at the beginning).

I didn't comment on this last season as i said to myself in her heart she is a good person but i cant take it anymore. Mallory is driving me crazy! She is coming off as a borderline lunatic. i didnt blame Ron at all for not wanting to follow her. since it was brought up earlier, Cara is RED hot. pun intended I think the last season that they were on while margie and luke did very well in the race, she came across as a little over protective and enabling to luke and he came across a little bit whiny and a momma boy. But i also blame the amazing race, i think they really wanted to show as an inspiration but they kind of jammed it down our throats and as the season went on the reaction to them got a little worse each time.

Cowboys are still my fav. Those Globe Trotters are likable but they seem really dumb. Ill have to get to know the others better before I judge.

I ask all to note that the Cowboys do not "glom!" I don't understand why anybody could dislike them, but different strokes for different folks! A number of people at other sites don't like them because Jet allegedly used a gay slur during an incident involving Jordan (from the winning team) at a finale party for their first season.

It would have been hard to "glom" onto the Cowboys in episode 1 since they were so far behind and as clueless as Jet was deciphering, no one could glom anything out of him. Plus as Phil mentioned in that clip someone posted, it seems like most of the teams want them out soon so they wouldn't want to collaborate with them, I suppose. I don't mind SO much a couple of teams deciding to work together but hate it when teams really do glom on someone who has something all figured out M/L and J/C first trying to hear other teams and steal the answer and then getting the info just by following Christina, but of course then racing ahead since Christina is tied down by Ron. And Margie and Luke totally abandonned Jaime and Cara at the kangaroo task because they found someone better to glom onto.
