What must citizens of foreign countries think of us? Last night as I was sitting here at home alone, I was totally embarrassed by the Frosties -- oh yeah, and there's GWB too. Hope they're both gone soon

FWIW: The eliminated team (John & Scott) liked Frosties, Pink, Nerds and Ray & Yolanda. They are on TES right now.

One of my favorite moments was when Ray and Yolanda were in the cab and he kept asking questions on the cab driver and she said something about the cab driver being scared of the big black man in the back seat. Cracked me up!!!

Lake and Michelle and Lisa and Joni have got to go. I loved the nerd couple. I am rooting for the nerdies

Ditto here, Maris. I was stunned speechless by Lake last night.

Yep people like that make me shudder when I think that they are responsible for raising children, bleech.

I would also like to add, thank goodness no kids in this race.

I haven't read all the posts yet, so this may have been mentioned, but the blond hippie guy reminds me of the brother of the woman Robert married on Everyone Loves Raymond.

The daughter of the mother/daughter team is very pretty - she reminds me of an actress....can't think of which one.

The older couple remind me of the older couple two shows ago - the "Oh my GAWWWWDDDD" one.

The "nerds" are adorable - I think the girl is very pretty - she has a nice smile.

I recorded it and will have to re-watch - I try to take it all in, and end up missing a bunch of stuff!

The daughter in the mother daughter team reminds me of Ana Lucia in Lost.

I thought the Daughter- Desiree (here by known as Team Salsa) looked like Norah Jones, the singer. I loved them.

Team Nerds kick butt!! GO NERDS!

Ray and Yolanda were awesome, I loved their calmness during the motorbike challenge and the joke in the cab. And they have two of the most beautiful bodies I have ever seen.

The hippies are awesome.

I don't like the beach bums...asking what they get for coming in first is beyond tacky. And I don't like MoJo, he is the one that made the Scott Peterson comment.

Am I the only one who found the nerds a weeee bit over the top?

So far I like them but if they continue to be in my face about the fact that they are "nerds" I will not like them for long.

I have to say... I know the glamazons were annoying to most, but they cracked me up. I am from Texas and lived in Houston for 5 years. My best friend from high school's mom could have been one of those two. I rewound and watched some of their hijinks over and over. I am sure the loudness will wear on me, but for now I loved them and am glad they weren't eliminated!

I agree Spitfire. Is there something odd about people who think its cool to be nerdy? And we know you love each other. Stop pounding it in!

And so far the frosties are amusing me. I doubt they'll last long, so I will enjoy them losing their panties while they last.

I am so glad this show is back to its regular format, I think this is going to be a great season!

I was really hoping the glamazons would be eliminated, not the friends. I thought the friends relationship was great, I would have liked to have seen them more. The glamazons just annoyed me.

I couldn't believe the older couple couldn't find that clue box! How many times did they walk right by it and I cracked up when the lady said that she didn't think it was there all along. LOL!

The nerds were cute and I thought they did a great job. The two losers who don't want to work are not going to be my favorite just because of their outlook. That one girl that almost started crying in the airport when they didn't get on the first flight....oh my, she is in for it if she thinks that was bad. I liked the hippies, I thought they were funny and enjoyed their enthusiasm, loved how they gave everyone nicknames right off the bat.

like the "nerds", like the mother daughter and ray and yolanda, and the others are ok - i do not like the hippies - they already label every team and they just come across as spotlight wannabes - not simply being themselves but going out of the way to provoke and make a quick laugh

Spitfire, I felt the same way. I almost felt as if they were just acting.

I am so happy ... this season is back to normal people .. no former "reality tv superstars." If I had to see Allison or Boston Rob one more time I would have hurled!

I think I like any team who takes even 30 seconds out to appreciate and feel lucky with their surroundings and who are just happy competing. Chip and Kim will always be the competitors that I will compare people against.

I always get a thrill when a new TAR begins. Not only because it's a fresh season of one of my all-time favorite shows but...it's the start of a race around the world! It's just too exciting! Where are they going to go? What are they going to see and hear and do? Who will they meet? And then there's Phil - can't forget him, lol. This edition had a particularly gorgeous starting point, Red Rocks. I hoped that was a good omen for a terrific season.

I think I like it that they weren't allowed to reserve seats by plane. Hmm, will this be a rule throughout the Race? I also wondered about the not holding taxis.

I liked both of the Detours this epi. Too bad Danielle & Dani and Fran & Barry had to switch tasks. That cost them so much time. And for some reason having to find a BP Station in Mississippi was oh-so-boring but looking for a warehouse in São Paolo, Brazil was an absolute rush. Go figure, lol!

My "oh yea" teams:
David & Lori
BJ & Tyler - seemed a little rehearsed, at times
Ray & Yolanda
Wanda & Desiree - like the daughter more than the mom

My "okay" teams:
Danielle & Dani
Fran & Barry - please pay better attention!
Joseph & Monica - hope she doesn't whine too much when things get tough

My "oh no" teams:
Lake & Michelle - nice that Lake kinda helped F&B but not reading the instructions wasn't just "partially" his fault
Eric & Jeremy - they lost me when they called the one team b*tches
Lisa & Joni - please stop screeching!

Até a vista, John & Scott. (Was that right?) See you at the finish line.

So thrilled to see them start at Red Rocks and then park at the Pikes Peak shuttle lot where I always park at DIA.

So far I am liking the hippies and nerds best. The bartender boys are good eye candy. The mom/dauther team is cool so far, but I can see them growing old if they just continue with the mom panicking and the daughter trying to calm her. I also liked Ray and Yolanda.

The Glamazons were amusing to me and I was glad to see them stay over the friends. The friends just seemed too whiney to me and not funny or entertaining.

The southern dentist is looking like the "team we love to hate" so far. I also caught the Scott Peterson comment aimed at him and wasn't sure if I heard correctly.

I'm so glad my favorite show is back!

I disliked Lake's attitude last night as well. Here I thought was a couple who had been married for some time as well as working together, I thought they'd be a well oiled machine, dh was taken aback at his manner as well so I knew it wasn't just me overreacting. I loved that BJ and Tyler took the time on the plane to learn some well needed phrases, "you're the best" and "could you pass that car"lol. I hope Ray and Yolanda stick around (thought those guys at the bike shop were just rude to her)and David and Lori. Yippee for the race, so glad it is back.
