ITA Nerovh. I thought they would be a more fun-loving, but they brought nothing to the table.

And when they lost the first flight last night, they were talking about how that flight could have delays and what-not. They turned off a lot of other racers toward them.

I really do like Mark and Bill a lot and hope they stay in it for awhile.

I was disappointed in the hippie team. To me they seemed kind of phony, like the hippie stuff was all for the show. I am not sure what gave me that feeling, but they just did not seem genuine. I was kind of glad to see the go, which is different for me. I am usually pulling for the older couple. I identify strongly with the oldsters.

Too bad for the Hippy Couple, they are gone before we even get a chance to know them at all.

I kinda wish the frat boys went home first-They have already made a bad first impression.

Allie, I did not get that feeling, but you are kind of right. I was under the impression they were love children and got married in the hippy days (circa 1968 or something) but they met in 1982 and have been married since 1994.

Not that anything is wrong with that.

I was sad to see them go as I always like the older or underdog teams go a few rounds before they get eliminated. I like to see their dynamic rather than the dynamic you see of so many young teams...

I usually root for the older team, but I want one that is fit, fast and hustles. Anita and Aurther didn't fit my criteria, they seemed to be strolling through the tasks.

And OMG, those blondes in pink, I was hoping they would go as well, LMAO.

Maybe they were in relationships with other people but have always been hippies...or hippy wanna-bees and finally got into it whe they were able to afford the alternative lifestyle? I was surprised we didn't see more of them though...usually you get a foretaste of who is to go from the editing.

Sorry about getting the names/geeks/cartoon guys/frat boys all messed up, but I was right about the whining! I like the older geeky guys and hope they last for a while. I'm not crazy about the two younger ones. Not funny, not attractive and so far not that good on the race.

Terrence and Sarah feel like a Zach/Flo team to me where I will like one but not the other. Sarah got upset too quickly that people weren't super friendly w/her but she made a comment at the end that makes me think she will toughen up. Terrence on the other hand is such a whinner. He whined that Sarah was paying more attention to the other teams then him. It never hurts to make some connection to other people because you may have to partner up or lean on someone else along the way. Then he whined that she was running faster than him. Um, hello??? Isn't he the guy who trains runners in NYC?

The ex-football player and his wife are uber competitive and just rubbed me wrong. She is very critical.

So far I liked Aja and Ty and the mother/son team.

Roxi, I think the foretaste were all the shots of the Anita and Arthur just walking along. While they claimed to be fit due to the chores they do on their farm, they didn't seem to have much of a sense of urgency in completing tasks or getting from one point to another.

WRT to the "frat boys," I have to say they left a bad taste in my mouth. I think they spent most of this first hour's show whining, and I get the impression that they think they are ladies' men (and they are so NOT).

Sportygirl, ITA about Terrence and Sarah. Well to some extent. I'm thinking I'm gonna end up not liking either one. He seems to be all about the "communication" thing (like he took a class in the 1-2-3 steps of communicating in a relationship). And she's all about everything else.


Ken and Tina (the separated couple) cracked me up. First of all, how many times do we have to hear that he cheated on her. And every time he opens his mouth during a confessional, I laugh at the look she gives him. I don't see these two really working together all the way thru to make it to F3.

Most of the rest I don't have an informed opinion of yet. I'm glad to see Nick and Starr come in first, and I kinda like the geek boyz from my hometown (Mark and Bill and thank gawd they were wearing hats cuz no way could I tell the frat boys from the geek boys without 'em). Toni and Dallas seem to work well together, as did Aja and Ty. The others? I can't barely remember much of 'em.

YES! Thanks for posting that b/c I couldn't put my finger on it but the way he kept saying: I love you but.....and things like that. I was really weird!

It was, wasn't it? Seemed almost like he'd been coached in how to have a successful relationship and was darned and determined to put all he learned to use.

Whoever taught Terence's self-help class apparently forgot to teach him how not to annoy the living crap out of people lol.
