Since this was the first show and we only had bios to go on, have your picks changed? I didn't have a clue myself before, but I sure do like some of these people now.

Really like the brothers that came in first.
I'm sad the moms lost, I like them.
I know I am going to get evicted for this BUT the twins did not do a thing for me. Way too toothy. Nice bods but dumb as dirt. I liked the lawyer girls, but we may be on cry alert every week.

I like the long distance couple , mike and kathy<?> the twins were good looking but they both seemed a little too feminine for my taste! I like manly men. They looked good till they started talking. I also like the brother sister team of telicia and terell<?> Not sure on the names and too lazy to go back and find out what they are...LOL

I was proud of the law students chicks who sky dived! I always love it on AR when someone does what has to be done even if they are terrified. I am still not really keeping the teams straight, but I don't like that older couple, Ian and whoever as much as I thought I would. I like Tramell and Talicia (?) too, I had to laugh at their enthusiasm. I wish the twins had lost, I think the moms had more spunk and determinations than them. It was like 2 Ken dolls running around Mexico.

I'm rooting for team Mom and Dad. I hope they go farther than the first team Mom and Dad did in AR1.

I like Flo and Zach and Aaron& Arianne, and Tramell and Talicia. Bottom of my list are the lawyer chicks, Heather and Eve. I can't stand them and can't see it changing. They gotta go.

I like John and Jill so far. Guess I'm also influenced by the 9/11 tragedy. I think this is going to be a great emotional release for both of them.

I don't know ... the twins went wayyyyy down on my list. I, too, prefer more manly men. I was impressed by the lawyer chicks. I was prepared to dislike them after their comment about using their looks and charm. Tramell and Talicia were funny, I'm glad they are still around. I didn't think I'd like Aaron and Arianne, either, but I do. I still want to get more acquainted with many of the teams.

Blah, you can have those twins. My opinion of them hasn't changed. Eeewww, that keepin' it in the family picture. I really had hoped their toothbrushes and taxi had gone bye-bye.

Aaron and Ariane are a force to be dealt with until Aaron runs out of gorgeous shower products. Are we sure Ariane was actually joking about the Brits having a grasp of the English language?

Then there's the clean freak Dennis. Andrew may have to make friends with Aaron if he runs out of beauty supplies.

And then we have the brother's Ken and Gerard. Looks like Ken needs to invest in travel size "Just for Men" as he's already off on another vacation.

What's with this spoilt and pampered bunch? Here's hoping their vanity will weigh down their backpacks.

I didn't get a good feeling about Michael and Kathy, and Jill and John Vito. Can we just *vito* them from the game now?

It didn't seem like we saw much of Andre and Damon. I did get a chuckle reading Damon's bio. He went on and on about his oh so smart brain, but when asked what language he spoke he answered, "none". Is that a hint of things to come?

Teri and Ian did themselves proud. It was hilarious to watch Ian standing driving the donkey cart AND his wife Teri.

Tramel and Talicia seem like they'll be fun to watch, but they don't run fast enough so may miss some crucial connections. Their bio was a riot.

I feel Heather and Eve will do fine and despite their bios won't have to rely on cuteness because they have guts. Way to go, girls!

Flo and Zach are my favs so far. They came in only second to the brothers who used the FF, so they're first in my book. I don't know about their tv entertainment quotient, but they have skills to advance them in this game.

My favorites so far left already! The SC mommies! THey had great attitudes!

Gina & Syvia - Liked them. I knew they would probably lose since they seemed to move slowly at the beginning of the race. But they seemed nice, and the moment with the little girl was sweet.

The twins - Eh. They're okay. I like how they admit that they're terrible at the race - at least they're willing to admit that they don't have a great strategy going for them. They also seemed to move slowly at times.

Heather & Eve - Yuck. They're my least favorite team. I didn't like how they swerved in front of other cars (driving quickly is important, but they could have caused an accident), and I don't like how they begged for money at the airport. I didn't really have a problem with Blake & Paige doing it when they HAD to, but Heather and Eve weren't at that point (or even close to it).

Aaron & Ariane - For some reason I didn't like them, although I can't really put my finger on it yet. I do think they'll do well, though.

Dennis & Andrew - I liked them. Andrew's really going to have to push Dennis, though. Dennis seems like a good sport (and it's great of him to do the race with his son), but I don't think he has the drive to win it all.

Sort of like all the couples (including the married couple), although I don't think we saw a whole lot of them, so that might change. Seems like Flo and Zach might bicker, but I'm sure it won't be as hateful as Wil & Tara. That's not possible, right?

Tramel and Talicia seem cute, even if they need to pick up the pace. Ken & Gerard are okay so far. Liked how they actually waited for the twins because of their promise. That was sweet. Andre and Damon - not much of an opinion one way or the other yet.

Those twins are really funny (that's being polite on my part). Leaving their bags in a taxi and then running to get the fast forward when the other guys took a cab - unbelievable. I can't wait to see what they do next. At least they know they're bad at the game - maybe they'll improve. I don't really like them but they're entertaining.

Okay, I'm on board this year. Only once a week to be addicted to a reality game show is managable.

Favorites? Hmm. Not looking at any one else's post so I won't be influenced either way. I like Aaron and Arianne, you know the "alternative" pair who "think outside the box." They did quite well. I like John and Jill, the one whose brother died at WTC. I like the cop and the fireman team.I like the brother and sister team who came in tent(Tramell and Talicia). Thought the law school girls were funny asking for donations, but I hope they aren't too whiny.

No dislikes yet--but give it time.

Too soon to really tell yet, but I loved when Tramel and Talicia found out they weren't elininated. I think they are going to be fun.

I don't really like Heather and Eve much, they were my vote to go tonight. It was good when she jumped, but......

I also didn't care much about the twins, and wouldn't have been bummed if they had been the first to go. They are lucky they got their stuff back.

I wonder if this means we won't have non-elimination rounds this time, or not as many.
I definitely like this show better after a few episodes, because these first ones go by so fast without much story to them.

Okay, I peeked a little to get the names of some of the teams. Glad to catch AR from the first show.

Twins - ROFLMAO...At first thought they were ok, then rolled my eyes, now love them. Anyone that can proclaim loud and clear how they SUCK at the game, rather than pi$$ and moan about 'bad luck' scores big time with me. Also love the fact that they really thought they were last, yet ran to the end anyhow. I think these two may be our comedy of errors during the show.

Teri & Ian - He rubs me wrong...somehow the visual of her running, leading the donkey with him sitting there with the stick struck me as ... wrong. It was funny until I remembered him barking at her earlier. Not interested in watching some guy push his woman around the world...hoping I'm waaay wrong.

Dennis & Andrew - Love them!!!! Dad absolutely hates son's sexual preference, but absolutely loves the son. Can't wait to watch their journey. The clip with dad sitting in chair while son does his 'cheer' had me laughing ALL NIGHT!

Lawyer girls - Hoped I'd like them...I'm all about girl power. Can't say I like them as of yet. I think the begging for money at the airport was tooooo copycat and not necessary, turned me off.

The jury's still out on the rest of the bunch.

Glad the show is FINALLY on!

Mygetaway, I felt exactly like you do about the teams!! I loved Tramel and Talicia's reaction! I do think they are going to be fun!

I felt the same way as you do about the lawyer chicks and the twins as well.

I think Ken and Gerard will be another fun team to watch.

One of the clips on the CBS web site shows Teri and Ian trying to make some money off of Ken and Gerard. Teri and Ian got a hotel room for $20 but they pretended that they paid $35 and were asking Ken and Gerard if they wanted to pay $17.50 to split the room.

Superfan, I'm with you. I thought it was very odd that Ian let his wife pull that donkey, and before when he "commanded" her to "prepare my pack"! Yuck. Not very gentlemanly. I'm a sucker for a sweet story, so I'm going with Jon-Vito and Jill.

I difinitely like Ken and Gerard the best and am glad they came in first. I especially liked the way they waited to tell the twins that they had gotten the Fast Forward.

I was sorry to see the moms go. They had great attitude and determination!

The twins...ummm...do grown men really dress alike?

Loved the brother/sister. Hilarious!

Loved the two guys who came in first!

I got a kick out of the lawyer chicks.

No absolute favorites yet, except that the husband in the wife/husband team got on my nerves.

I wanted the soccer moms to get far in the race; I'm disappointed that they were the first team eliminated last night! I don't have an overall- favorite team yet.

Superfan: You must have read my mind!!! I agree wholeheartedly with your post, and thank you for saving me the time to type it out, as you did it so eloquently!!!

Just another thought however, I really do like John Vito & Jill... sort of a mushball myself, so I just mainly liked their story...

Sad to see the soccer mom's go - they were my absolute favourite. Can we substitute them for the lawyers? Just a thought...

Sorry, I think 9-11 and any references should not be a part of the game. I bet there are other team members who may also have personal tragedies. I do not think that team (jill/johnvito) should be rooted for just based on that. It seems exploitive. (If exploitive is a word.)

It was disappointing that the soccer moms got elimated in the first round. I had my fingers crossed that they would go far in the game.
