...and We Begin with a Double Philimination!
ETA: My rankings, some team nicknames and to fix some spelling mistakes!
Our teams started off in Seattle and headed west this time, flying to Bejing. They had to eat fish eyes for the roadblock, while the detour saw them deciding between "labor", construct a pattern on the ground with bricks or "leisure", do a routine with a ball without dropping it.
After the roadblock, we got our first surprise of the race when the mat was seen and Phil came along to send Bilal & Sa'eed home. Later at the actual pitstop, Vipul & Arti just couldn't catch up to the other teams and were Philiminated too!
So what are we doing here, you say? Well this is where you get to rank the teams in the order that you love them. You might base this on their ability to race, your personal feelings toward them or their ablility to interact with other teams and the locals. It's entirely up to you. No matter what, it is your opinion and it's not up to debate or discussion!
Here are the teams in the order they arrived at the mat:
1 Tyler/James
2 Duke/Lauren
3 Peter/Sarah
4 Dustin/Kandace
5 Rob/Kimberly
6 Kellie/Jamie
7 Erwin/Godwin
8 Tom/Terry
9 Lyn/Karlyn
10 David/Mary
DOUBLE PHILIMINATION
11 Vipul/Arti
12 Bilal/Sa'eed
Have at it, people! I'll be back to add my comments on the teams later. I have to get to work.
My List:
I don't particularly love or hate anyone yet, but there are a few teams I like and a few I don't like.
***Like:
1. Erwin and Godwin ~ The Brainy Brothers who are Korean aka TEAM B2K ~ I think they'll be my favorites, based on their prerace video on the CBS site. However, if Godwin knows 14 languages, they really shouln't have been so lost on the first leg, right?
2. Dustin and Kandice ~ The Bicoastal Beauty Queens aka TEAM BBQ!!! ~ They hope that people will underestimate them because they're blonde, but we saw last night that they can hold their own amongst the teams. They could go far. We'll see.
3. Duke and Lauren ~ The Dad and his Lesbian daughter (insert team name here) ~ They hope the race will bring them closer because their relationship has been strained since Lauren came out. I really wanted to hate him for judging her like that. He is her father, after all and should love his child no matter what, but they surprised me last night when they worked so well together and di so well! Kudos to them. I hope this experience fills those relationship gaps for them.
4. Tyler and James ~ The Token Male Models with a twist! aka TEAM TMMT ~ Recovering drug addicts who met in rehab and are both now modeling. They could be this season's alpha males and they did come in first last night, so...
*** The next few teams are "meh" at this point:
5. Kellie and Jamie ~ The USC Cheerleaders aka TEAM TROJAN!!! TEAM GAMECOCKS! Oooh! They can do cheers on their way to the pitstop. YAY!!! *rolls eyes*
6. Lyn and Karlyn ~ The single moms who are best friends. aka TEAM BFF ~ I do have to give them kudos for being single moms. That's a tough job. They do have each other, which is great, but they really wanted to rag on Sarah a bunch, so they get stuck in the middle this week.
*** ...and finally, I can probably do without these ones:
7. Peter and Sarah ~ The triathletes who used to date, Sarah has only one leg and wears a prosthetic device, which Peter likely built (insert team name here). It's not because Sarah took advantage of her disability on the plane, it was the fact that she told someone she had to get to a hospital so she could take that cab, plus! they scream way too much for my ears.
8. David and Mary ~ The Coalminer and his wife they are nice, lovely people who work hard, and I have to give them props for that, but his accent will wear on my nerves quickly. Sorry guys!
9. Tom and Terry ~ TEAM GUIDO REDUX The team name says it all. Ugh!
10. Rob and Kimberly ~ TEAM SCREAM! 'Nuff said.
'nutz: Proud member of the inoffensive OT Triumvirate... and Shroomhater! - shroom go boom!

1. Tyler/James - Kudos for arriving first. Kudos for James' hair. Kudos for not being obnoxious horndogs like Eric/Jeremy. Kudos for being ambiguously gay like Eric/Jeremy.2. Peter/Sarah - Congrats to Sarah for making it up that wall. Peter needs some new contacts or something so he isn't always squinting at the camera during confessionals. He also needs a personality. Jeez, dude, figure out that your girlfriend is an adult athlete with a physical disability, not a kiddo in the Special Olypmics and then treat her accordingly.
3. Erwin/Godwin - Some good one liners. Some muscles. Some good hair and some bad hair.
4. Duke/Sarah - Are you two dating? Is incest better or worse than being gay, Duke? You're quite the crybaby, by the way, you big masculine heterosexual man.
5. Lyn/Karlyn - Astute observation about the special privilege Sarah received because of her leg. At least it was the first time you made it. You just sounded petty when you harped on it. Peter is much more deserving of your contempt.
6. David/Mary - Watching you two bumble around the world should be a lot of fun.
7. Kellie/Jamie - We already have beauty queens. At least you two went with different hair colors.
8. Dustin/Kandice - We already have cheerleaders. It's harder to tell you two apart than Kami/Karli.
9. Tom/Terry - Whine, whine, whine. Squeal with glee. Jump up and down.
10. Rob/Kimberly - Just STFU Rob. Thank you.
Philiminated
Vipul/Arti - You had the potential to be a really interesting team. I was sad to see you go so soon.
Bilal/Sa'eed - Apparently Allah willed it.

It started with the snarkily appropriate: "She can run the Ironman but she can't stand in line to board an airplane...?!" Then they harped on it forever.

1. Lyn and Karlyn: For now. I didn't like the bickering at the Detour or Karlyn going on about Sarah. However, I like how they just kept going. They were great on the wall. And they're fat-a$$ moms, just like me. 2. David and Mary: Again, for now. I didn't like her telling him to shut up, but I find them amusing.
3. Tyler and James: I will probably like them better as the Race progresses.
4. Erwin and Godwin: I liked these guys in the pre-game interview. They're having a good time. I hope they pick up the pace.
5. Dustin and Kandice: They did a great job at the Detour.
6. Kellie and Jamie: I don't mind them.
7. Peter and Sarah: While I really like how she got up the wall and appreciate his supportiveness (good Sarah, there's a good girl, come on, you can do it, goooooood Sarah), I had to groan when they said they could "play that card a lot" when they got on the plane early. I also didn't like it when she indicated her leg and told the taxi driver that it was an emergency.
8. Duke and Lauren: They're doing well. He cries a lot, eh?
9. Tom and Terry: Meh.
10. Rob and Kimberly: Oh my heck, she's awful.
Doubly Philiminated:
11. Vipul/Arti: Sorry to see them go. They really had great potential. In fact, I thought they'd make the final four, at least.
12. Bilal/Sa'eed: I think they may have reached Weaverish proportions, had they continued on.
Yay, Love List! *waves to Nutz*

Posted by emydi on 09-18-06 at 11:29 AM
I really love this year's show!!1. Duke/Lauren--At least he is honest about his feelings and is working through them w/ his daughter..I hope they last a long time, I really like them both!
2. Tyler/James-Ok, was anyone as jaded as me and say, "I bet I know what these 2 will spend their 20Gs on"....so bad. Nice story and pretty nice to look at! They are definitely the strongest physical team in the race and barring a stupid mistake, should make it pretty far
3. Tom/Jerry-yeah I know but I'll remember it better this way . I loved how they made a mini alliance with the cheerleaders and were actually better at the exercise!! They seem to be playas. I don't know if my love will last with them, we'll see.
4. Dustin/Kandace--I actually like the beauty queens, they have some good heads on their shoulders. I was glad they could get back into it after not finding restaurant. They are beautiful
5. Peter/Sarah--He is a bit hard to take, but I just thought she was great for getting up that wall...I'd still be at the bottom. If she can sit in the front of every plane, do it, it's a million $. Are they a couple or not though, I know she wants it, he--I'm not so sure.
6. The WIn Bros.-a bit haughty at first but they were taken down a peg, I think I will like them more as the race goes on if they stick around
7 Lyn/Karlyn-they did shock me s finishing so high in the first part, but then karma stepped in on the wall... we'll see how they do in the more physical tasks
8 Kellie/Jamie-do Muslims worship Buddha HELLO?!? They are the ditzes of the race...if they stick wiht Tom and Jerry they should be ok
9 David/Mary-a bit hard to take...I don't see them going too far
10 Rob/Kimberly- can you say Colin and Christie? UGH every year!
DOUBLE PHILIMINATION
11 Vipul/Arti-I wish they had stayed around. She is beautiful
12 Bilal/Sa'eed-Bilal was quite imposing, I thought this was Wanda and Jonathan all over again...why even have 12 teams start...I don't like it!

01- Duke/Lauren: Surprisingly they worked well together and seem fit.02- Tyler/James: Easily the favorites. They weren't obnoxious but could be boring which will be worse!
03- Dustin/Kandace: They did well. Which one is which?
04- Peter/Sarah: The stars of episode #1. He's condescending and her claim of emergency was tacky, but what courage!
05 Rob/Kimberly: I always like the villains when they perform! She is strong.
06- Erwin/Godwin: I though they'd be #1 on my list. Their lethargic performance forces me to put them here for now.
07- Kellie/Jamie: Are we gonna have cheers in every episodes?
08- Lyn/Karlyn: Will these two be portrayed as villains also? Their snarky comments didn't count as much as their self-pity.
09- Tom/Terry: A team of two men doing the "leisure" detour should have been eliminated. Don't add more cheers please!
10- David/Mary: I don't think they can last long. At least they are trying.

LAST EDITED ON 09-18-06 AT 11:52 AM (EST)Hello everybody! Welcome back!!
As for the list, no one made me fall in love, but there are three groups generally:
Love-Love
1. Dustin/Kandice--I know what you're thinking, this from the guy who loved the Double D's last year. But these gals seem smart, athletic, friendly, and bounced back well from the "find the Golden House" debacle. Now if only I could tell them apart.
2. Tyler/James--SO MUCH better than the Frat boys. Also, smart, athletic, and witty. Tyler is sorta weird though; he might become annoying.
3. Duke/Lauren--I didn't think I'd like them, but Lauren is adorable. Duke is funny, and obviously, they did great! Rock on, Rhode Island; Rhode Island is famous for you!
Love-Hate
4. Lyn/Karlyn--As I suspected from the pre-interview, Lyn is fantastic. But Karlyn needs to loose her attitude. She is a serious downer. Good job getting up the wall!
5. Tom/Terry--Terry, I like, more or less. Tom, on the other hand, is nuts! Still, they were fun, but Tom is going to be the Gus/Walder of this team.
6. Peter/Sarah--They are about even with Tom/Terry. Sarah is fantastic, down-to-earth, and I was truly concerned for her at the Great Wall. Peter suuuucks.
7. David/Mary--I want to like them more, but Mary is the one who needs to shut up. Still, she was adorable when she met the Miss Americas and other times.
Hate-Hate
8. Kellie/Jamie--They have infectious personalities, yes, but I will soon be sick of their cheering. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP-clap-clap, clap-clap-clap-CLAP-clap-clap "Please go!"
9. Erwin/Godwin--You know it's never a good sign when a guy kisses his guns in the introductory sequence. For all their traveling, these guys were clueless.
10. Rob/Kimberly--Why does there always have to be a bickering couple? Yuck.
DOUBLE PHILIMINATED
Vipul/Artie--One is a milquetoast, one is a princess. Good bye to the highly touted cultural diversity of TAR10! Would have been 8th on my list.
Bilal/Sa'eed--The Browns of Treasure Hunters meet John and Scott. Would have been 12th on my list.

Posted by dabo on 09-18-06 at 12:55 PM
1. David and Mary. Wow! Real people on a reality show, how'd that happen! For bumbling rednecks who don't really know what they're doing, they work well together, it's the getting from here to there that's doing them in. Love their spirit.2. Lyn and Karlyn. Wait, even more real people! And they got the whole Forrest Gump thing working for them as well! Fun to watch, too bad they got fixated on Sarah's handicap.
3. Duke and Lauren. They're really quite emotional aren't they. They're good solid racers so far, though.
4. Kellie and Jamie. They can have conversations with doorknobs and set out to prove it.
5. Peter and Sarah. Admire their spirit. Normally I might root for the underdogs, but they got the whole Iron Man thing going for them so I can't really consider them underdogs.
6. Erwin and Godwin. Started cocky, got taught a lesson pretty quickly.
7. Dustin and Kandice. There she is... they is... honestly, I can't tell them apart, where are their sashes?
8. Tom and Terry. Loved their game strategy. That's all.
9. Rob and Kimberly. Here we go again, disfunctional couple going on TAR to who knows what. That trick never works.
10. Tyler and James. Okay, your story has been told, you got the 20 grand first leg bonus, you can just go away now.
Vipul and Arti (Philiminated second). Seemed like nice people, just not really geared for the race. Darn shame, though, Arti was easily the most beautiful woman in the cast. More beautiful than the beauty queens combined.
Bilal and Sa'eed (Philiminated first). Moderately amusing guys, loved how they were representing for Black Muslims, shame they didn't keep their heads in the game.

Posted by Max Headroom on 09-18-06 at 12:55 PM
THUD.That comes from the PTTE thread, with Max Headroom's list having Vipul/Arti winning it all.
On to the rankings:
LIKE A LOT
1. Erwin/Godwin - Here's hoping their overall cluelessness was first-leg jitters and not foreshadowing of continued stupidity. I like this team but they need to turn it up a notch.
2. Duke/Lauren - Though I still doubt they'll last long, they handled the first leg very well. I hope they continue to rebuild their relationship despite the race stress.
3. Dustin/Kandice - I usually dislike beauty queen teams, but these two seemed surprisingly well-grounded in the first leg. Could have done without their introductions as "Miss California" and "Miss New York" to David/Mary, though.
TOLERABLE
4. Tyler/James - Stereotypical Team Alpha Male, they look to be contenders. Don't have much of an opinion otherwise.
5. Tom/Terry - Seem to be stereotypical gay guys thus far, but at least they're not bland like many of the other teams. I expect some funny one-liners from them!
6. Kellie/Jamie - Young, peppy, enthusiastic... and slightly grating.
7. Peter/Sarah - Admire her grit and toughness despite her disability and being 4' tall; don't like his superior attitude.
8. Rob/Kimberly - This season's Team Bickering Couple, they also fit the TAR stereotype as they look to be competent racers. If Rob can handle her henpecking, this could be a good team, and they don't bother me too much... yet.
CAN'T STAND
9. Lyn/Karlyn - They stay out of my cellar due to a couple of funny one-liners, but these two are snarky in a really mean, unpleasant way. Can't wait for their Philimination.
10. David/Mary - Sheesh, how did these two get cast? Just what I wanted to watch, two unintelligent, uneducated, unattractive rednecks from Kentucky. It must be too much to ask for them to have all their teeth.
PHILIMINATED
Vipul/Arti - Liked this team a lot, thought they would bring a new perspective. Instead they gave me an uninspired leg with a last-place finish so far behind that BvM didn't even bother with the usual editing tricks to make it look close.
Bilal/Sa'eed - Never thought they would last long, but being Philiminated mid-episode? They had the look of being unpleasantly Weaverish, but I would much rather watch them than Appalachia's finest.

Posted by coolflowerpowerman on 09-18-06 at 01:05 PM
1 Dustin/Kandace- They seem sweet and well-balanced. Love.2 Kellie/Jamie- Liking the cheerleaders more than I thought I would
3 Duke/Lauren- Solid leg. Love Lauren, but think Duke is pretty pathetic.
4 Peter/Sarah- Very impressed with Sarah, but think Peter is creepy and condescending
5 Tyler/James- Impressive leg; much less annoying than BJ/Tyler and Eric/Jeremy
6 David/Mary- Mary is amusing, they both seem nice. Glad they got out of Kentucky
7 Erwin/Godwin- Meh. Should have been philiminated.
8 Lyn/Karlyn- Fat and out of shape, and had pretty horrible attitudes in regard to Sarah. If they want priority boarding so bad, a medical saw and some bandages could help them get it.
9 Tom/Terry- Annoying.
10 Rob/Kimberly- The obligatory obnoxious couple. Must be philiminated.

Glad to be back on the TAR Lvoe list after RS:SN. I didn't get a strong impression of many of the teams so some of my rankings stand to change quite a bit.I do want to say that I didn't like the mid-leg elimination. I thought it was a bit unfair to do this so early in the race. Phil mentioned some changes to the game but he didn't put any emphasis on how it may be important to lead during a leg as well as at the finish. But, it's the decision of the producers, not me.
1. Erwin/Godwin - These guys are a likable duo. I thought the squirt gun thing was funny, although at an airport, in these times, probably wasn't the smartest of decisions.
2. Kellie/Jamie - I'm not going to lie. This ranking is based mostly on appearance. They are both pretty. And pretty good racers too. Impressive climbing ability at the wall.
3. Lyn/Karlyn - I liked the Mom's alright. Until they got to the "I can't do it" challenge (i.e. the wall climb). Eventually, got it together and impressed themselves by finishing in the pack.
4. Peter/Sarah - I will quickly tire of the constant references to her prosthetic leg, however I was impressed with these two. Peter could become this year's Ray if he is so intense the whole time, but Sarah was both likable and admirable.
5. Dustin/Kandace - Seem ok. Fairly attractive. Don't remember much else.
6. Tyler/James - Stronger start and slightly less annoying then I thought they would be. We'll see. For me it's pretty girls, yes; pretty boys, no.
7. David/Mary - These two seem like severe underdogs, so I may root for them. However, she can be shrill and annoying.
8. Rob/Kimberly - The Bickersons.
9. Duke/Lauren - His comments during the intro-video were telling to me. I don't like him. Seems like she is doing this race to win his love as a daughter. That is not right.
10. Tom/Terry - The token male gay couple are always my least favourite. It seems the more "gay" they are the better the chance of getting casted.
DOUBLE PHILIMINATION
11. Vipul/Arti - Unfortunate because they seemed like nice people. But navigation is a huge part of the race and they didn't seem to have that.
12. Bilal/Sa'eed - I'm not sure what these two did wrong but I am not a fan of an elimination in the middle of the first leg. It seemed underhanded. These guys seemed like good guys and didn't deserve to be kicked out so soon.
"RE: TAR Lvoe List Volume 10.1"
Posted by flipxcyd on 09-18-06 at 03:26 PM
Aaaack! Too many teams to rate! If only Vipul & Arti were still in it, they'd be on the top of my list! Anyways1-Erwin/Godwin: My favorite team thus so far. Also because I can relate to them, and they're local! Go Bay Area!
2-Duke/Lauren: Touching moment when Duke was climbing the wall, and Lauren was crying.
3-Peter/Sarah: Also touching moment for Sarah to climb that wall with an artificial leg.
4-Tyler/James: Only because they pulled out the win.
5 (3-way tie) only because it was just too much to digest and in no particular order...yet: Tom/Terry, Kellie/Jamie, & Dustin/Kandace
8 David/Mary: Remember that movie, Maximum Overdrive by Stephen King? Remember that newly married couple with the wife always screaming and nagging her husband? That's who immediately came to mind whenever Mary opened her mouth. I'm not saying she's bad or anything, but that's how she sounded. Ugh, irritating.
9 Lyn/Karlyn: Back off Sarah already. So what they got on the plane first because of her disability; doesn't mean anything if you're on the same plane; pretty much sucked at the wall climbing.
10 Rob/Kimberly: ala Lake/Michelle redux. Oooo boy.
PHILIMINATED: Vipul/Arti & Bilal/Saeed. Two of the interesting teams, but sad to see them go. I was really pulling for Vipul/Arti. Man, I hate these surprise twists.

LAST EDITED ON 09-18-06 AT 03:38 PM (EST)At long last, my favorite show is back!
1)Dustin & Kandace - Okay, I admit it, I've met Kandace when I worked at Radio City Music Hall so that affects my ranking but they were also no dumb blondes, worked well together, seem intelligent (unlike the other pretty girl team) and finished fourth overall. I really believe these two could top Linda & Karen as most successful all female AR team.
2)Tyler & James - not much to go on but they did finish first and did nothing to make me dislike them.
3)Duke & Lauren - I predicated them to be first out, I was wrong. Didn't like his ignorant "disappointment" at his daughter being a lesbian but get the feeling he may be open minded enough to realize how stupid and wrong he is. Not sure they will last long but find them interesting enough.
4)Tom & Terry - They're no Reichen & Chip. Looked goofy at the detour and was put off by some of their comments that made them seem anti-social and sneaky. The fact they wanted to avoid the labor detour and haplessness at the wall does not bode well for their longevity in this race.
5)Peter & Sarah - He strikes me as creepy. Not exactly sure why - maybe because he seems more focused on Sarah's leg than on Sarah herself. Some weird "Hero" complex or something. <<shudder>>
6)Rob & Kimberly - Another Flo, God help us. And Rob does not seem as likeable as Zach to make it almost bearable.
7)Lyn & Karlyn - wanted to like this team but didn't. nasty comments and already talking about yielding Peter & Sarah. Doubt they'll make it that far - not enough physical ability.
8)Godwin & Erwin - For guys with their education, they strike me as sort of dumb. Anything resembling a gun in an airport is idiotic and they were nearly eliminated. My opinion on them could change but they better step it up a bit.
9)Kellie and Jamie - "Do Muslim's believe in Buddha?" - 'nuff said. Lucky if they last beyond third leg.
10)David & Mary - My ears won't be able to take these two. Fortunately, I think they will disappear quickly.
Arti & Vipul - Okay, but wasn't much impressed. Both of them were very average.
Bilal & Sa'eed - I'm glad they're gone. What kind of religion doesn't allow you to shake another person's hand? Was it just because they were female? Constant praying got on my nerves.

1 Erwin/Godwin - very likable
2 Duke/Lauren - getting closer together in their relationship
3 Peter/Sarah - hope they do well
4 Kellie/Jamie - very atheletic and easy going
5 Tyler/James - the team to beat
6 Dustin/Kandace - they remind everyone they were Miss New York and Miss California
7 David/Mary - a little aggrivating
8 Tom/Terry - a little sneaky for me
9 Lyn/Karlyn - chronic complainers
10 Rob/Kimberly - Ron/Kelly remake

Love, Love:1. Duke/Lauren: after a teary pre-race intro, they really came together and did their thang. The start of a beautiful father-daughter relationship? Let's hope so. The respect for each other is definitely there.
So far so good:
2. David/Mary: she's a bit mouthy but you've got to love the underdogs. I thought it was so, well, 'sweet' how Mary described David as 'goodlooking' in the pre-race intro. Of course, Mary also told the beauty queens they were 'beautiful' without a trace of bitterness or jealousy, so she scores major points for that, too. They're doing well for never having travelled out of Kentucky/Alabama (and Seattle) before. Jeez, they could give the ultra-educated Erwin/Godwin a few tips.
3. Kandace/Dunstin: if they can just get over the fact that they won their respective state-wide beauty contests, they'll be very watchable. Good effort so far, despite the Golden House goof. Pretty interchangeable pair, who is who, but whichever girl ate the eyeballs did extremely well.
4. Tyler/James: really like their positivity and that they've got their eye on the finish line for every leg.
5. Tom/Terry: like their sense of fun, but hope they start getting more serious about the race. Should be fun to watch if they last a few legs.
6. Peter/Sarah: don't know what everyone's talking about regarding his 'creepiness'; I thought he was incredibly supportive of Sarah. (Of course, I was on the phone for the last 20 minutes of the show, so I might have missed something.) If Sarah hadn't grabbed the taxi, referring to her aritificial limb, that it was an emergency, she'd be my clear favourite. Still, she really impressed me with her climb up the wall, so she ends up in this category following the first episode.
Didn't like so much:
7. Lyn/Karlyn: I was all set to be rooting for these two . . . right up until they started bad mouthing Sarah. They really blew it with that. But good effort so far.
8. Erwin/Godwin: Jeez, you'd figure these guys for a better result on the first leg. What happened? Were all those $$$ on education wasted? Get with it! I want to like you two, help me out!
9. Kellie/Jamie: too much clapping/cheering. Get on with the race!
Hated:
10. Kimberly/Rob: As a couple, they're not gonna make it! As a TAR team, they might get close, but loose, snarky lips will sink their ship. Might as well stop now so the rest of us don't have to listen to you for most of the season.

A lot of good impressions about the racers, looks like a good group for the most part. I reserve the right to change my opinion as the show progresses.Very Good Impressions
1)Dustin & Kandace – Seemed like two attractive healthy women ready to go the distance. No negative vibes from them at all.
2)Tyler & James – Seemed like two attractive healthy men ready to go the distance. No negative vibes from then either.
Good Impressions
3)Duke & Lauren – Nice Dad and Daughter team, their issues may have been a bump in the road but its easy to tell they love each other. Reminds me a lot of me and my daughter and dealing some of our issues.
4)Peter & Sarah – I met Sarah during the summer at a Triathlon in our area and she left me with a favorable impression so it carries over here. They’d be ranked at the top if Peter wasn’t such a tool.
5)David & Mary – They may be hix from the stix but they seem to be genuine good natured people, yes there are good people who live in flyover territory. I don’t know how long they’ll last, they don’t seem to be in very good shape for a race, but that won’t stop me from rooting or them.
6)Kellie and Jamie – Yeah!!! Cheerleaders!!! Seemed nice enough, their Budha comment didn’t really impress me though.
7)Godwin & Erwin – Not the brightest bulbs in the socket for the squirt guns in the airport, but they just seem to be looking to have some fun along the way. Appear to be likeable in an A.D.D. sort of way.
Below Average Impressions
8)Tom & Terry – Don’t know why they came off as negative to me, they just did. Maybe that will change in the future.
9)Lyn & Karlyn – Too many negative comments about another team. Being in poor shape and having bad attitudes will land them near the bottom of my list.
10)Rob & Kimberly - Another bickering couple, oh joy. Hope they are out soon.
Philiminated:
Arti & Vipul – Seemed like a nice enough couple although a bit bland.
Bilal & Sa'eed – I’m not a fan of in your face religious people, of any religion. Thought it was rude not to shake hands with other teams, I never heard of a religion that doesn’t allow you to extend a hand to another person.

The, me likey section:1. Erwin/Godwin- What can I say, I really have the hots for Asian guys. I think these guys will go far and did I mention they are hot! Especially Erwin with his long hair. The only thing I didn’t like was the juvenile water pistol event. What were they thinking anyway? In an airport????
2. Lyn/Karlyn- I like these two so far. They have some spunk and they actually did better than I thought they would. We’ll see how they do as time goes on, but at this moment they are on my like list.
3. David/Mary- Ok, I don’t think these two will go far, but I did find them pretty entertaining. Even though Mary is a whiner with David, she is rather sweet with everyone else and seems very appreciative of the experience.
The, I can take them or leave them section:
4. Duke/Lauren- There is something a bit creepy here, but they are supportive of each other at this point and she’s rather nice.
5. Tom/Terry- These two are way over the top, but for the moment they are kind of funny. They could wear on me though.
6. Kellie/Jamie- Were they the ones clapping all the time? Rah Rah!
7. Dustin/Kandice- Rah Rah! Or were these two the ones clapping all the time? Same difference.
Already annoying section:
8. Peter/Sarah- What can I say? These two totally got on my nerves with the constant self empowerment talk. *barf*
9. Tyler/James- I have to admire that they went through what they did and kicked their addictions, but still I find them to be rather annoying. They probably will go far though.
Already hate section:
10. Rob/Kimberly- Ewww…Yuk…I want to slap both of them. They deserve each other.
Philimated:
Bilal/Sa'eed- I think I would have gotten really annoyed with them and maybe their constant bringing religion into it. But on the first show, I found them to be rather interesting.
Vipul/Arti- These two would have been #1 on my list. I really liked these two and thought they would go pretty far. I think they just had some bad luck.

For me, at least, there isn't a team that I really despise. Well, not yet anyway. I'm sure one of these teams will "come through" before the end of the race though.1 Erwin/Godwin - a little smug but they did make up ground at the wall. In past races, teams that finished in the final three escaped elimination early in the race. I think the bros Cho will be a final three team too.
2 Tyler/James - good heads up on I-5 to avoid the backup due to the accident. That put them on the first plane and they never were far from the front thereafter. Kudos too for taking a moment to examine the pattern of the bricks instead of just delving in.
3 Duke/Lauren - Father/Daughter show some potential
4 Peter/Sarah - caught flak for using the disability to get on the plane with those that need "extra assistance". But if the teams that complained were really honest with themselves, they would admit that they would have played the same "trump card". Unless PS are flying Southwest (no assigned seats) what advantage does it really give them to go to their assigned seats a little early?
5 Dustin/Kandace - didn't fit the beauty queen/air head stereotype. Finished well
6 Kellie/Jamie - also didn't fit the "air head" stereotype
In no particular order these teams didn't impress me one way or the other
7 Rob/Kimberly
8 Tom/Terry
9 Lyn/Karlyn
10 David/Mary
DOUBLE PHILIMINATION
11 Vipul/Arti - sorry to see them go
12 Bilal/Sa'eed - caught by the surprise. Could have gone a few legs farther - but may not have gotten over the wall.

Great fun! Thanks for all the great descriptions guys!!! It was a great night and I laughed my ##### off. What a bunch of characters we have this time!!!! (and I don't see any Weavers amongst them What shocked ME most in the intro was Duke's ignorant reaction to his daughter being gay, and the fact the boys were so out there about their past drug addiction - including photos of themselves stoned on meth (?), nitreous (?) on tv!!! That blew my mind! I wouldn't have made that choice but it's one way to get famous!We are off to a wild start. Too bad about the Black Muslims - that was so fast and seemed so undeserved. I felt really bad for them. They might have been a lot of fun to watch too. The Indian couple were lovely and I had high hopes for them. That was a real shame. (But they did seem to have some navigation problems too along with bad luck.) I agree with the rest of you on all other counts!
Tom/Terry - whiny whiny whiny! And one of them sure had a hard time on the wall! (Can't tell them apart just like the all girl teams.) Peter IS really patronizing - but all the teams (on all of the shows) cheering "come on Baby!" during climbs, etc. drive me nuts I really thought very little of David and Mary at first - but they showed great grit and determination. She has a lot of fire - and grace as mentioned by others, being so nice to the beauty queens. I cannot IMAGINE introducing myself the way they did! How off putting! Anyhoo - I can't type fast enough to comment on everyone but what a great start!!!! So happy the Race is BACK ON!!!!

1) Duke and Lauren = Emotional yes, but I'm just glad they could get along to do this race. 2) Tom and Terry = So far I am actually liking this team. Even though in the past, the gays on this show, were annoying me, Such as Riechen and Chip, Lynn and Alex and John from John and scott. But I actually like them. They are having funny brings back memories of danny and oswald. Oh the memories. What fun to spend a free time than shopping.
3) Tyler and James = Well at least there not Frat Boys.
4) Peter and Sarah = We all know that if they say they can't do it, they end up doing before commercial break. Focus on the race.
5) Dustin and Kandice = I can't figure out who is who yet. And I can't figure out whats going on with them. Some how managed to get back in 4th after falling to 8th. Wow.
6) Kellie and Jamie = Cheerleaders. EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW Sorry I was a thespain in high school, and cheerleaders were mean. I only knew two nice cheeerleaders.
7) Erwin and Goodwin = Give me time, and I will probably move them up on my list. They seem fun.
8) Rob and Kimberly = Why do I have this feeling that this is going to be another Ron and Kelly storyline?
9) Lynn and Karyln = Get your minds off of Peter and Sarah, and focus on the race, Ask Alex and Lyn what happend to them by focusing more on Rob.
10) Dave and Mary = I like their bickering. Its kind of funny.
11) Eliminated = Vipul and Arti = I would of liked them too. she was a cutie. To bad shes gone.
12) Mid-Eliminated = Bilal and Saeed = I would of liked them, but i think the constant praying would of got on my nerves, no offense to muslims, i know its their religion. I just don't want any reminders of the wicked witch and her three miniions.

LAST EDITED ON 09-19-06 AT 00:26 AM (EST)I was only able to tune into the part where the first team got eliminated, so I don't have too much to say about each team at this time...
1. Duke & Lauren - I've always like the parent-child teams.
2. Peter & Sarah
3. Erwin & Godwin
4. Lyn & Karlyn
5. Tom & Terry
6. Kellie & Jamie
7. Ron & Kellie - oops I mean Rob & Kimberly - Bickering couple... yawn
8. Tyler & James - Strong guy team... yawn... models... ugh!
9. Dustin & Kandace - Dustin?! Kandace with a "K"?! Bimbo girl team... yawn... beauty queens... ugh! Can't tell them apart... yawn!
10. David & Mary - Okay, I'm sorry but when I first saw this team (I tuned in late in the show), I thought she was his mother!
Double Philiminated:
Vipal & Arti - Seemed like a cute couple. I actually like the name Arti
Bilal & Sa'eed - Seemed like good guys. Too bad about Phil's shrewdie.

LAST EDITED ON 09-19-06 AT 00:22 AM (EST)I'm so glad that TAR is back! I'm one of the ones who didn't mind the mid-leg elimination. The teams got to do a Roadblock and we had to suspect that starting with 12 teams would mean one would be leaving fairly quickly. On with the list . . .
Best
1. Erwin & Godwin - Sure they brought waterguns to the airport, but don't forget that they got the guns through SeaTac's crack security system. They seem pretty funny and being eye candy doesn't hurt.
2. Duke & Lauren - They love each other, they just don't understand each other. They will be good racers and last long.
Better
3. Peter & Sarah - Okay, mostly just Sarah. And the disability is offset by being a triathlete. She could kick my hiney in any athletic event any day.
4. Dustin & Kandice - I have to give them credit for overcoming the Gold Palace fiasco. They are lucky that they didn't end up at a bordello.
Good
5. Kellie & Jamie - So are they representing the USC Trojans or the USC Gamecocks? Either way, I'm glad I root for the ASU Sun Devils. They're fairly dim and won't last too many more weeks.
6. Lyn & Karlyn - These ladies aren't just racing, they're on vacation! Single moms are being given a b**ch pass this week and I hope they improve quickly!
Bad
7. Tyler & James - Yeah, so they seem to be decent guys, but I'm so tired of model teams. New Rule: Models must race entirely in bathing suits.
8. Tom & Terry - So is Tom the very effeminate balding guy or is that Terry?
Worse
9. David & Mary - I want to like them, but their grating accents are preventing me from wanting to see them regularly over the next 13 weeks or so. BUT, if anyone needs the $1 million, this couple does. I sure wouldn't want my DH working underground.
Worst
10. Rob & Kim - We've seen this couple in every race and I'm sick of 'em. Go away soon!
Ciao
Vipul & Arti - I really wanted them to catch David & Mary at the wall. I'm disappointed that they're out so soon.
Bilal & Sa'eed - So if B&S were racing for the finish line at an appointed prayer time, would they have stopped, bowed to Mecca and lost? Would Allah have forgiven them for being a tiny bit late? Does Allah forgive? Guess we'll never know.
