Totally great episode, and I CAN'T believe that that sad girl actually got on her boyfriends back for the last few yards and it lost them the race. UGH. What a complete loser. NO ONE is that tired. HELLO that crazy Hill Billy wife cried her eyes out, walked fast and still made it. Sad.
I was happy with the winners though ... great emotion and it seems this year is gonna be VERY active. The cheese rolling down the hill at 400 miles an hour like a bomb was hysterical.

Didn't think it would be delayed for golf, but there's always some sporting event on Sundays that can wreak havoc with the schedule.
I'm already a little tired of hearing the 'deaf people can do the race' lines, maybe because I didn't think that a team with a deaf person couldn't compete (the Mom might end up being the bigger handicap to the team).
Couldn't comprehend the flight attendants asking which train/plane leaves first, not which one arrives first. You'd think they'd know better.

It's too bad the Hillbillies didn't go first, I was annoyed by them at the first commercial break. Although I'm glad they beat out the ones that went home.
It'll be nice to see the flight attendants make an early exit as well. They aren't going to survive long, especially if they are relying on their looks.

That was quite possibly the best episode of TAR I have ever seen, for the cheese scene alone. We were almost falling on the floor laughing at our house! Some of the teams that appeared more fit surprised me with their lack of stamina on this task. And while I thought Steve had been a little harsh with Linda (the Virginia hillbillies) earlier, I quickly tired of her constant tears by the end of the race. Plus, he certainly showed some ingenuity in "sledding" three of the cheese wheels down the hill. Which brings to mind--if the contestants whose cheese wheels accidentally rolled down hill could just retrieve them at the bottom and put them on their stack, why couldn't they just roll all of their cheese down the hill instead of carry it? Anyway, I was happy with the mother/son team winning this leg. I still like the brother stuntmen team and the brother/sister team too. The flight attendants were kind of a mixed bag (have there ever been teams before that had rolling suitcases instead of backpacks?) And the cheerleaders--well, the only thing I noticed about them is that they appear to have dyed their hair the same identical shade of reddish-orange.
All in all, a great start to this race!

That's what I thought about the cheese as well Beth ... ROLL IT! And what the heck were those cheese carriers made of cardboard? Man I figured the Swiss would have better wooden cheese carriers.
The flight attendants with the STUPID wheeled luggage? GIVE ME A BREAK -- that had to be a production decision, how in the heck can it be less work than having the pack on your back?
BTW DisneyRox ... the flight attendants can't be counting on their looks, cause they aren't that cute.

I thought that was dumb. It can't be more efficient pulling those things behind you instead of toting the backpack on your back. I'm waiting to see them racing across a busy street only to have those things topple over and spill the contents all over the place.

Yeah, I was surprised to see them make it on the train to Locarno.

Looks like it's going to be a great race! I'm surprised everyone didn't just roll the cheese wheels down the hill.

Yeah, I thought it was kind of rude for the "natives" to laugh at them that way but they were funny. I would like to see how they carry it down the hill on those flimsy things. They must use cleats on their shoes. Why on earth would the cheese shed be at the top of that hill if it was so hard to get up and down it. You know they don't go out of their way to do that every day without inventing something easier. That had to have been designed just for the race to make it harder. I thought the same thing when the first couple to roll one was allowed to retrieve it and it counted. Why didn't they just roll the rest of them down. Apparently it didn't damage the cheese.

I don't think that the "natives" were being rude. It was clear that TAR set up that challenge with the big muddy hill on purpose. I doubt very highly that it was a "real" set up they were just using on chance. I wish we knew what the production crew made them do ... if they were told they had to try ... otherwise why wouldn't everyone just throw that cheese down the hill. I honestly couldn't believe no one but the Hillbillies though of the sled technique.

I guess you are right. If that was the way it normally was done, then I think it was rude for them to laugh at them the way they did, the contestants not knowing how to do it. But if it was set up that way for the show, then it was supposed to be that funny to all watching. I don't know but if it was a set up and they made those backpacks to fall apart like that, I'm not sure I like that. They usually have to do what the "natives" do for a task and aren't set up to fail right off the bat. I'm wondering about it now. It looked like an impossible task, no matter what but maybe they did it to see how inventive the couples would get. If that is the case, the hillbillies won.

I love this show ... I'm so happy it's back!

This was a great start and I have to say the one team that really annoyed me finished last. This was the first time that I liked all the teams when they started. None seemed really bad like in previous shows.
I was absolutely amazed that the flight attendants were that bad and making travel arrangements. I would think what time it arrives would be the first question asked.
Can't wait for next week.

I don't begrudge the Swiss bystanders that were laughing. I agree that the scene was set up the way it was to make it humorous. And if we were all laughing at home, why wouldn't they be there too?

Gosh, that bungee jump was terrifying. Just a bunch of rocks and cement below you.
My son and I were among those laughing hysterically at the cheese challenge. It was beyond funny.
I'm thinking the brother/sister team isn't going to be very well liked as the race goes on. And I'm waiting for the wheels to break or fall off the flight attendants' luggage. I think you are right Beth - no teams in the past have been stupid enough to use rolling suitcases.

I was waiting for one of the cheese wheels to bust through a wall. I'm surprised they didn't do more damage rolling down the hill.
