Mom and Dad are going to slow this team down... I don't think the kids will be too happy with their parents performance on the race.

I have to say that those pants were an unfortunate choice for Mom!

Tntitanfan, what a strange comment! Do you think 36 is too old to have a child?

If I were Mom I would have ditched them and gone back home. I sure would love a break from those kids.

I could be confused because there were so many people to get acquainted with on this first show, but my question is, Does one Paolo son have manners and the other son is totally rude? Or are they both hopeless?

The younger son seems more mannered than the older one. But both of them are still disrespectful to their mom. And pop says nuthin'!

There was one redeeming point about this family -- the son recognized the Frat Boys (Kevin and Drew) at the Frank Stand! They appeared to be the only ones who did! (Shock, gasp -- do these people NOT watch past seasons????) Other than that, I wish they'd go away! LOL

Right, Kevin posted on TWoP that the Paolo boy was the only one who recognized them: link

I have to admit that I was hoping they would be gone first. I know that they're probably very loving in everyday life but they're not great traveler's together and that makes it hard to watch them.

i would doubt they are loving in everyday life. they were probably on their best behavior due to the cameras. my guess is they might be worse in everyday life! and that's scary, but i know people like them...

p.s. when the mom elbowed her son in the car it reminded me exactly of jonathan doing that to victoria. no one would do that in public/on camera if it wasn't second nature to them. IMHO, of course!

this was very painful watching this family! I hope they leave soon so the mother will be relieved from them.

I have a difficult time at the beginning of every TAR season knowing who is who; too many teams and I don't know their names. It isn't till a few weeks have passed that I start identifying the teams. So all I can say is thank god for the Paolos. I know them already. And I'm so happy they weren't eliminated. They are such a contrast to all those "white-bread" teams, so I want them to stick around for several more weeks to give us some drama. Families show their love for one another in many different ways -- and when they are hot-blooded, emotional, demonstrative people like the Paolos, they show their frustrations with each other also. I'm sure they go through life in high drama; they fight and make up and it's all quickly forgotten. And I think they are just as loving as most of the other families -- they just demonstrate it differently.

The Paolo family was difficult to watch in the beginning, but there was something about them that made me want to root for them. I'm so glad I didn't prejudge them because I'm rooting for them to go all the way. I like how the oldest son has readjusted his attitude when he realized his family can and will progress in the race when they work together as a team. And like the previous commenter stated, it's obvious how much they love and support one another, they just demonstrate it differently. Anyhow, I wish they didn’t yield the Weaver family because that may come back to haunt them. Go Paolo family!

I didn't like this family at the beginning. But I've done a total 180. They may be the closest family on the race. They're learning to trust each other, and the kids are finding out how tough their mom really is. All other women who've came into this race in the shape that she is, have failed within the first few legs. This woman has shown true grit and stamina. And the dad is awesome. I really like this team, now.

Karen, I guess I did forget about the bowling moms. They musn't have been that memorable to me. I'm sorry for that.
