I agree Tess, Phil looks different to me. Maybe he's thinner or has darker hair???

I don't think Macs get the bolding.

Personally I am happy with the bolding, so I'm fortunate that my browsers give me bolding

Well I just got around to watching it and this was the first TAR that really bored me. The entire thing seemed like a cross between a rerun and/or deja vu.

Not only did the events seem very familiar, but did we get all the runner up teams that were previously cast? Yet again "frat boys," and "the hippies," etc. Granted there are bound to be similar types BUT this seemed too spot on to me. And most annoying was the, well, annoying partners. I can see why the football player cheated...that wife was endlessly shrill, rude and demanding IMHO. And what about that dating couple where she wanted to be friendly and he was demanding her full attention and made her feel wrong for tying to be nice? I wanted to hit him through the TV, then hit her for then going along with him, hating folks all cause they didn't love her back and make chit chat while hailing a cab. And the negativity of the frat boys...and on and on.

Guess my major point is the teams seemed less real/unique/amusing then usual and so far the race has been repeatative not fresh adventures to me. I was REALLY looking forward to TAR and hope I get over being this unhappy with it!!!

Oh forgot one more whine lol...almost every team reminded me of teams from the past, and few in a good way. So far the only 2 teams I really cared for were the brother/sister and the mom/son. Guess what is so annoying is TAR is usually the best at casting new/different/interesting which makes this all the sadder and more disappointing :-(

If this is the best they can come up with now, why in the world aren't they using Janelle and someone?? She would be a gazillion times better to see on the Race than these bland repeats IMHO!

If you live in Hollywood or in or near LA

Kynt & Vyxsin want you to contact them so they can come to your house, or anywhere you are having a TAR party for the viewing of this season. I have them on my myspace. They now live in LA, but are coming back to KY around Christmas and have said I will be invited to a party there.. Now they are my all time favorites.

They also watched the premiere with Mark and Bill and posted pics of the party etc on another site they have.. they are saying Mark and Bill are their favorites this season.. and I agree.

If you want links to them, send me an email to:
aussiedeb66@hotmail.com

I became a fan of theirs last season, we have bought clothes off ebay from Vyxsin etc.. they really love their fans.. oh and have great pics of them and Phil

Hey, I finally got around to watching my TAR episode from last Sunday (it's been a busy week and I always seem to be late to this party!). Draheid, that "insert player name here" feature is WAY cool! I love it. I'll never have to say "that guy who -----" again!

I, too, think Phil looks a little different. I think they changed his hair. It's not as spiky this year. Bring back the spikes!

My favorite team was Nick & Starr . They seem very pleasant and thrilled to be there. I don't care if they never say hi to Terrence & Sarah . I very much agree that Terrence is a big whiner. I couldn't believe he got mad at Sarah for talking to the other teams. What's wrong with getting to know some new people at the rest stop? He sounded jealous that she wasn't giving him her full attention.

And I have to agree with those of you above who thought "I know why that guy cheated" (oops! I thought I was never going to say that again. Sorry!). The guy made a terrible mistake, but do we all have to watch them thrash out their difficulties on national TV? It's just painful.

Aussiedeb, I have to agree with you. Kynt and Vyxsin were awesome.

Phils hair is longer.

Aussiedeb, I understand that Kynt and Vyxsin have done a lot of charity appearances. I just watched the marathon last week and enjoyed them very much.

Still over 7 minutes left in the Dallas game here in KC area, so the show is going to be way late tonight again

Stephanie and Anthony are on Bonnie Hunt today. Bonnie showed the clip of Terence get the "gash" on his head by the car trunk, et., etc. She was having fun with that. Ha ha ha.

Hmm, well, I might enjoy seeing Bonnie Hunt get bonked on the head with a trunk lid and see how amused she might be.. just saying.

But, Sea, don't you remember he was telling Sarah about the blood when there was none. And then asked her to blow on it!!! Bonnie was an oncology nurse in Chicago before she got into entertainment. There is much worse than Terence' basically non-existant injury.

I've had plenty of bloodless injuries..heck there was no blood when I blew out my ACL and being hit on the head couldn't have been pleasant.

I just don't write off the injury because the person is needy, and indeed, Terence is exceedingly needy! He was fortunate that he had time on the cab ride to recover. I remember losing one of my favorite TAR teams (the father and daughter) when she was hit on the head by a gate and it happend right when there was a crucial run for numbers that put their team at a disadvantage.

Anyway, Terence needs to lose his attitude and he could use a different hairstyle, too.

After he got bonked, he asked Sarah if she could see the blood. At that time, there was no blood shown on his forehead. In the cab, you could see a small spot (less than the size of a pinky nail).

I don't think Terence and Sarah will make it to the end. They can't seem to communicate well enough, and one or the other goes off on tangents (the taxi thing).

I'm surprised a new thread was not started for today's episode. Is there anyone around that is able to spoil? I know that it is appreciated by those who miss it.

Hey everyone!

Believe it or not we have been so busy we did not even know this had started.

We don't have time to download and watch the first two episodes so can you guys tell me who you all like so far, who is obnoxious, etc.? Just a bit of catch up lol. Maybe the general flavor of each team...

IMO right now the most annoying are Kelly/Christy...with Terence/Sarah following a close second and Andrew/Dan and Marisa/Brooke in a close tie for 3rd (again, they are only MY opinion!). I have a love/hate relationship with Ken/Tina...love him, hate her, liked Aja/Ty but felt she should have kept her mouth shut last night, like Nick/Starr but think she's a little too aggressive for this early in the game and making enemies, and like Toni/Dallas but don't think she will make it really far in the game (which I hate because I'm a single mom too!).

Terence and Sarah have calmed down a bit from the first of the race but they were really bad the first week. Andrew/Dan were better last night but obnoxious the first few weeks (editing?), I just think Kelly/Christy <77> need to go soon...they are looking for reasons to be nasty towards others.

Last night was intense, wasn't it? I had a hard time keeping up with who did what...so sorry to see Mark/Bill make such a huge error...they were so likeable...and if they hadn't had such a hard time with the area challenge they would have probably not been eliminated.

what was up with Aja telling Kelly/Christy that Starr said that, I thought she was the one that told them to U-turn the girls! I agree about ken and tina, he's good, she's annoying.. but I love this show and I love me some PHIL! love when his accent comes out on certain words.

Yes, like "massage." It took me a sec to figure out what he had said...LOL!

No, it was Starr who told Aja/Ty to u-turn the girls, which was unnecessary.

Kelly and Christy just seem to be looking for conflict with the other teams. Finding conflict with others seems to be a rather dysfunctional way they have for bonding with each other. It probably isn't fair of me to be overly critical though as I suspect that the show producers have a preconceived idea of each team's characteristics and probably ask them questions that point them in that direction. So with them they are focussing on conflict and the fact that they are divorced.

What we've seen of Andrew and Dan hasn't been very appealing either. They describe themselves as frat boys and that is the way they act, but not in a good way.

Ken and Tina seemed pretty trying to watch at first with her obsession (and the show's obsession) on his prior infidelity. They have been more fun lately but they have also been winning so we'll see how it goes.

Terence appears pretty self obsessed.

The rest of the teams are great fun. It's nice to see Marisa and Brooke starting to play better. I like the Mom and son team. They have a nice relationship. I found Mark and Bill the most entertaining. It's a shame that one slip-up ruined their game but that is all part of TAR.
