Oh I'm SO excited!! One of my favorite shows! Thanks Melanie!

[WDWFanatic]

Yeah! The only thing that drives me crazy is I have to remember to record the shows after it or chance missing the end.

Yep. Definitely an issue during football season.

[laprana]

Yay! I can't wait either! Definitely one of my favorite shows!

[IamBelle]

Oooh! Can't Wait!!

[MNNHFLTX]

Oh yeah--I can't wait for TAR!! After taking a look at the bios I don't know what to think. One thing's for sure, hair stylists are very well-represented this year. And the guys from Princeton sound like they will provide a lot of the comic relief.

[TheDuckRocks]

Can't wait!!!

[brownie]

Looking forward to it!

[Melanie]

I was just reading the bios and one really stuck out - bio mom and daughter who have only recently found each other. When the race took place, they'd only just met!

Oh, and has everyone seen the video of the shopping network host getting pinged by a watermelon? OMG!!! Ouch.

I'm not sure "pinged" is the right word ... more like clobbered! Double ouch!!!

[c&d]

I love this show.

[Melanie]

Wow. Vicki is probably the most unintelligent person ever on this show, at least that I can remember.

The beauty pageant girl, although I like her dad, is going to grate my nerves I think. The same with the TV hosts.

I like the father/son (anyone ever heard of them) and the lady docs. And the birth mother and daughter seem so sweet, but I don't think they'll last very long.

Glad TAR is back!

[TheDuckRocks]

The volleyball girls seem to be mean girls also. Their comments about the girl with the short hair and others weren't very nice.
Liked the lady docs and the father son so far, time will tell.
Has there ever been a team go from first place to last, with this many teams still playing? Wow, that was being really, really lost.

I thought that was just so ironic it was hysterical. "Right in the kisser!" Maybe next time you should clarify which kisser you want it to hit! LOL
"They don't call it the Amazing Race for nothing"

And whenever Ron & Tony were talking about how smart Tony was and how he hid it and would surprise everyone, I knew immediately they would be the first team eliminated.

[NotaGeek]

Ok, please, take note: WHEN you go on The Amazing Race learn how to drive a stick shift. You will need this skill.

EVERY season. Ugh.

The watermelon to the face seemed downplayed. I think that would have hurt and caused some damage.

And, the country of London has closed off future travel to stupid Americans.

Great first episode.

[Melanie]

Yeah, we saw everything prior. I can't believe it didn't break her nose.

The country of London. Oy. And she'd never heard of Stonehenge? If she's this "lost" in England, think about some of the other countries they'll go to.

Oh, but I will say that they were the only ones to figure out that sitting in the middle of the boat (after they found it, that is) worked best.

[Ian]

Yikes ... some real dummies in this crew so far, huh? Vicki ... oy ... please. Ouch.

A couple of the women last night were really annoying. What was with all the shrill shrieking all the time?? They sounded like a group of my daughters friends at a sleepover. Too bad my daughter's 8 years old!

I think it was the daughter in the dad/daughter combo and the T.V. hosts. Man ... shut up already!

Liking the Asian dad and son team so far, the docs, and I was actually liking the guys that got eliminated. I kinda felt bad for them ... they just seemed totally lost and not really ready to compete at a TAR level, ya know? They were really nice, though.

Overall I'm just glad this show is back!
