I find it odd that Donny has no input in this interview

Jasper...I did too until I read the other's interviews. Quite a few of them only had one team member answering. Not sure if I find that more odd or not...

Jasper....knowing Allison the way we do from BB4, why would you find it odd that she did all the talking? :-)

UGHHH!: Donny describing them as good looking - not that they aren't. I think they are good looking, but choosing to describe yourself and your girlfriend as good looking as opposed to anything else he could've said is just so off-putting to me! Also UGHHH to the both of them describing themselves as "the greatest example of new age young adults. We give 110% to everything we do and don't accept not getting our way." Giving 110% is great...the rest...UGHH!

Uh, yeah, Happymom ~ I too was put off that the only way he could describe them was to start off with good looking. So it wasn't too surprising to learn that they "don't accept not getting our way". Ah yes, can't wait.

Did anyone else notice that this is the only one of the M-F teams where the gal*s name appears first? Is our Alison already insisting on "star billing?"

I thought the same thing the moment I saw MF..

She is certainly competitive enough for this and will not give up, ever. I suspect she'll be running the show though.

Sigh.. I'd rather see Moonie and Michael.. they ROCK!!

I guess my expectations were pretty low but I thought Alison and Donny didn't come off too poorly in this episode. They didn't antagonize the other teams, they weren't rude to the locals, and they didn't make too many mistakes. Even their sniping at each other didn't seem too serious. (The next episode looks like a different story, though. )

I’m enjoying Donny and Alison. I think they add something to the show. But then again, I enjoyed watching Will and Tara on an earlier AR. The show wouldn’t be as much fun to watch if everyone was really nice all the time (IMO). Plus, like it or not, they are very good players.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the PC term for a “small person” anyway? Or is it PC not to mention it at all?

The pc term is "little person".

I enjoyed the show last night and even enjoyed Allison and Donnie. It seems there is always one team who fight a lot and this year they will be that team. It's a part of their real life relationship and they're used to doing it.

I also liked Chip & Kim, Jim and his daughter (though she needs to cool it a bit) Bob & Joyce(he seemed to really be struggling to carry the beef), Mirna & Charla (lots of spunk with both of them)etc.

I think some of the Alison/Donny issues may be due to the fact that he's 2 years younger than her. She appears to be doing "child bossing the younger child around" because I think Ali seems shockingly immature for her age, IMO.

Yes, I think Alison is physical, good at puzzles, very competitive. BUT, JMHO, I also think after Donny takes enough abuse from her (remember, he knows he's ALREADY been relentlessly shown to be a DUMB cluck on international TV, by being displayed as a cuckold on BB - with Ali wagging her derrière at every man and every camera in sight WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SIGHING ABOUT DEAR DONNY!)...

it wouldn't surprise me to see him eventually doing some passive/aggressive, subtle undermining, SABATOGE - while smiling pretty at the cameras, himself. I could be wrong, but sometimes paybacks are BAD karma in motion. And I think Donny is going to get tired, tired, tired doing this trip with a fishmonger’s wife’s tongue!

On one hand, yeah I think Alison/D has a good chance to win, grrrrrr! But I don't think it's going to be a piece of cake by any means! It’s going to make for some good TV!


P.S.-Not sure now if it was Ali or Donny who used the ‘midget’ word. I’ll be watching the VCR tapes replayed when my Sister comes into town this week. Will keep an eye out for that part.
