Thank you Jimmer!!! Good memory! I liked them a lot! I think they were the first "happy" team!

I am amazed at how likeable these teams are; with the exception of one or two that I wouldn't mind being gone. It make the show fun to watch! My favorites are the hippy boys - their joy and exhuberance are catching - and the "nerd" couple are really making this a full experience. The Mom and daughter surprise me. The daughter is coming across as the "mom" in a lot of ways. Interesting. Mo-Jo are also a nice couple as are Ray and Yolanda. I could do without the blond bombshells and the frat boys.

Roxip, I think you are right about them being from season two.

Season two was one of my favorite seasons. Maybe I'm warped but I still LOL at the thought of Will trying to get that clue out of that block of ice using various tools (among them a flame thrower!), while Tara screams at him, "You're an idiot Will!!!". Meanwhile, you see Blake calmly and successfully chipping away with a chisel while Paige says positive things like, "You're doing great Blake. I'm so proud of you!"

My favorite part of Tara and Will was watching them on Rosie's show -- she gave Will an etiquette book and sent him to sit in the audience while she took a seat w/ Tara and chatted! These teams have been fun to watch, and even annoying Lake is not nearly as annoying as Jonathon from a couple seasons ago!

I guess one reason Lake does not bother me as much as some of the other bullying types is that his wife can be so annoying also and gives as much as she takes usually.

The best part of Tara and Will was when they lost their clue. "Follow that plane!" Who ever gets to speak a sentence like that?? Blake and Paige -- sure, they were nice enough. But there was something in their closeness to each other that just creeped me right out.

I am thinking that one or both of the Paige/Blake team was from this area -

I'm totally psyched. Being as I didn't start watching TAR until the season with Chip and Reichen, I couldn't appreciate what everyone was talking about, so I joined Netflix a couple of weeks ago and just ordered Season One.

You'll enjoy Season One. You'll notice some differences in that they didn't have the formula totally worked out yet. The teams were great, but it was new so no one knew what to expect or what they were doing. Also, the teams were surprisingly aggressive with each other. It was a great season.

jimmer, it was a great first season, wasn't it!? it was when they could still borrow people's cell phones and call ahead for reservations, or stop in a hotel they weren't even staying in to have their courtesy staff make a plane reservation for you, etc. one person could do every challenge and there were no yields. there were more fast forwards, too. one of my favorite scenes ever was in the season where the legal eagles couldn't drive a stick. they were delivering the wine in narrow streets and holding up everyone else. when the girl actually hit a pole, i fell off the couch laughing. the camera and sound persons either loved or hated these gals! i still think lake has the potential to end up more like jonathan. we are early in the show yet. i hope not, though. i hope this is the worst he gets. it seems he treats his wife everywhere as if he is the boss and she is HIS assistant. i have never liked working in a dental office where both husband and wife are there and started asking before i would even interview!! just because he is her boss at work doesn't mean he is the boss at home and on every trip or when they make any major purchases, etc....but i'll bet he is the 'boss' in everything...

Even T.V. Guide had a good slam on Lake. Are they the "Christian" couple?

TV Guide's highlight for this upcoming show says: quote:Another leg, another chance to drop a couple cluttering the pack. The Race is back in top form, and this incarnation has the casting just right. Early favorites have to be the hippies and the nerds, while the player to hate... well, let's just say we'd like to throw him in a Lake!"

I've never heard anything about Lake and his wife presenting themself as a "Christian" couple. Their actions surely do not speak of it. Why do you ask?

Read in an online paper that Lake is a Promise Keeper and his wife said she follows the bible's tenants of letting Lake be the leader of the family as Christ is the head of the church. Will scour around for the article. I do know the link was on TWOP.

Jeff Gordon was a Promise Keeper too - right up until he got divorced! (Sorry if you don't know who Jeff Gordon is...wish I didn't!)

In defense of the Promise Keepers (and I knew one who was an absolute a$$****), the Bible says you're supposed to treat your wife with respect and put her comfort before your own--not to be a big, bossy bully! She is supposed to be treasured!

Maybe she thinks the payoff (being married to an apparently successful dentist) is worth the stuff she has to put up with Lake.

Although I cringe when Lake says anything on camera... I've gotten to where I just imagine Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors (the dentist) .. and that song he sings and then I imagine Lake going to the florist!

i wonder how successful lake's practice will be when people see him on TAR?! ah, the frat boys were terrific! and team cha cha cha. what a refreshing duo they were, stopping to shop and enjoy the scenery. we have seen some really wonderful and entertaining teams and some we are just glad we don't have to know in everyday, real life. i mean, over-all, who likes dentists anyway? (they don't bother me at all, as i worked with them for 15 years and i love to have my teeth cleaned) but i know a lot of people have an incredible fear of going to the dentist. so, for sure, if you don't want to go in the first place, you certainly are not looking for an unfeeling guy like the dentist on the current TAR. i can hear him now with his staff, family and friends, though, doing that damage control!

I have the most wonderful Dentist and hygienists imaginable. They are great people. I am always amazed at how little consideration contestants give to how they will be viewed on these reality shows. It is particularly surprising with people who have careers dealing with the public.
