Yeah, I forgot about the oogling at the bike shop. I like how Ray and Yolanda just stuck to their job. We didn't see any posturing or "hey, you looking at my girl?!" from Ray. I really appreciate a guy like that.

Spitfire, I was glad to hear the Nerds got on someone else's nerves as well. They were really sweet in the beginning, but by the end of the show I was tired of hearing how much they loved each other. I loved the show, it was so fast paced compared to the family one.

Maris, I have to agree with you. I will always judge other teams by them! They not only won the race, they had a blast doing it, enjoyed and appreciated everywhere they went, soaked it all in, and through it all had fun with each other. They are my all time favorite team.

Spitfire, I felt the same way. I almost felt as if they were just acting. That is so funny! Because I've had this suspicion that the nerd thing is an act to throw everyone else off! I bet they don't even need glasses! (I assume that's who you were referring to? the nerds?)

OH I feel so much better cause last night at 7:43PM I said I didn't like the Nerd Team (David & Lori). And then no one said either way so I felt bad. I to was so so put off that they have to remind themselves and all of us how much they love each other.

Okay, I'm ready to watch Monica and Lake jump in the lake..ohhh they didn't make a very good impression on me. I had to laugh when the older woman who couldn't find a huge post with giant orange and yellow stipes on it thought she could put a bike together...

No one commented on the very greedy comment from Eric and Jeremy on the mat? "What did we win, Phil, what did we win?" I hope they stop with the prizes at all pit stops, and go back to only the first pit stop. Senses of entitlement just rub me wrong. Joni/Lori remind me of the screeching sisters last season. They have their humorous moments, but I'm not sure I can stand a whole season of their screaming and their constant "glamazon" comments. Loved the hippies, the black couple. Not sure the nerds are really, but they are kinda cute. Did not love John/Scott, and thought they were pretty dysfunctional. One of them was way too controlling, especially as he kept snatching papers away from the other at the helipad. Lake does remind me of Jonathan, and I sure do hope it doesn't go that way. I also wasn't too impressed with the older couple... geez, how many times do you have to walk past the clue box? Loved the mom/daughter couple. Not too sure about the Double D's (do they intentionally try to look like twins?). And I can't remember any one else!

Did I miss something? Were Lake & Michelle penalized for calling to make the reservation? Shouldn't they have gotten time added to their arrival time? If not why have rules? Right now I'm cheering for the mother-daughter team. They worked well together and seemed to really enjoy the experience.

They weren't allowed to use the reservation and ended up having to take a later flight.

I did notice that Jonathan....I mean Lake....was the one sitting in the backseat reading the instructions and it was his idea to call ahead to make the reservations. However, when Meredith realized the blunder and told Lake that he had not completely read the instructions, Lake made a point of saying a few times "no, we didn't." I could be reading too much into it, but I'm wondering if that means he will not take responsibility for any mistakes caused by him.

I just dumped the show off my TiVo. Native, I'm pretty sure I remember Lake admitting his error and taking the blame for having Michele call ahead for plane reservations.

I thought it was hilarious when Lake said "my name's Lake like the ocean" and Ray said "my name's Ray like the sun" LMAO Loved Yolanda comment to Ray in the cab about making the driver nervous. Their my favorite team so far. It was a great start to the season! Cant wait until next week!

Color and Native, Lake conceded that "I am partially responsible for that." Maybe it was the editing, but it sure looked to the audience like he was totally responsible, since she was driving and he was holding the copy of the written rules in the clue packet.

I think instead of giving the prize to the first place team they should change it up and give it to say the last place team. That would be interesting to me.

Juju, yes, there's no doubt by what we saw on camera that Lake was at fault. Lady, It could be interesting, but I don't think any team would try for last place. Or did you mean second to last place? Don't think any team would go for that either.

What Juju said was my recollection too - Lake took partial responsibility - I don't know who was at fault for the rest - his wife for NOT being allowed to read the clue...TAR producers for writing the clue? Lake for not HAVING a clue?

LOL Roxip. Yep, Lake appeared to be totally responsible for not reading the entire clue but wanted to share responsibility for the mistake with his wife. Generous guy. I didn't mind the slackers asking what prize they had won. It's expected now that first to the mat wins a prize. You know they are all thinking "did I win anything". You know us at home are all wondering what they've won. 9 times out of 10 they do win something. I enjoyed their enthusiasm.

I am soooooo happy to have the "real" Amazing Race back! It looks like we'll have some villains, some sweeties, some people who annoy and some who are just steady. It's great when the weather is frightful outside, but TAR, Project Runway AND Survivor are all on in the same week!

We've only had one show of the new season of TAR, but I'm loving it. So far the only team that really annoyed me got booted, what more could I ask for. There are a few other teams that I know will get on my nerves as time goes on, hopefully they will also go quickly. Haven't picked any favorites yet, I'll need a week or two for that.

When Lake made his comment about being responsible, I heard "I'm partly responsible for that." But, my closed captioning wrote out, "I am harshly responsible for that." I didn't get it on tape, so I can't go back and confirm, but it's possible he did take full responsibility.

LOL...sometimes I think that they have people from other countries doing the closed captioning...I realize that they are typing quickly but their typos are sometimes funnier than what is actually said in the dialogue.

crystal, more likely it was mistyped and they meant "i am hardly responsible for that" LOL i did hear 'partly', however, so i'll have to go with that, although 'hardly' seems more like something lake would come out with.

brenda posted: We didn't see any posturing or "hey, you looking at my girl?!" at the bike shop, ray did look a little upset to me about the guys ogling yolanda. he looked at them a few times, but got back on task. i was worried there would be confrontation for a moment or two, but i am glad ray didn't do anything. i just thought he did look as if he were thinking, "hey, you looking at my girl?!" doesn't michelle work in her husband's dental practice? so she has to be with him night and day... and why do they call them 'practices' anyway? let me know when they have it down, and i'll go back.

I was wondering what Lake's dental patients will think of the way he treats his wife on this show. Would make me think about changing dentists. I'm with you, Brenda. When the Bartender/Parking Valet team (can't remember their names yet!) jumped on the mat, I was already thinking, "What did they win, Phil?" So why shouldn't they think the same thing? They've obviously seen the show and know how it works. Can't blame them for being excited. The Glamazon sisters are getting on my nerves. Did you see poor Phil cringe when they started shrieking on the mat? Yikes! Best of all: No Weavers! Yay!!!
