PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Meet the characters behind ''Amazing Race'' "
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,6115,173929~3~0~meetcharactersbehindamazing,00.html

And then there were...20? Tie-dyed hippie Matt and his ball-busting wife Ana were the first of the 11 two-person teams to be eliminated on CBS' realitypalooza ''The Amazing Race'' (Wednesdays, 9 p.m.) But the most amazing thing about ''Race'' was how quickly it delineated so many individuals. (Of course, CBS' incessant promos spotlighting several teams didn't hurt.) Only one pair got lost in the shuffle -- the couple pondering marriage, Lenny and Karyn (and judging from the teaser, they'll be prominently featured next week). Here are the duos whose dynamic personalities broke out of the pack in the first episode:

DREW AND KEVIN The cueball ex-frat brothers and self-described ''village idiots'' are a veritable fountain of catchphrases. Beyond the ones featured in the TV spots (''We are the ugly Americans -- there's definitely the potential for an international incident'' and ''You've got to approach people in an affable, friendly way. You don't do it like you're in Noo Yawk!''), the pilot featured these unforgettable bon mots: ''That's Namibia, jackass!'' ''These flies are like lobsters!'' and ''Swing, you fat bastard, swing!'' Soon to be seen on t-shirts and bumper stickers nationwide.

FRANK AND MARGARITA If the separated couple with the baby daughter initially seemed like a rerun of Ytossie and Taheed from ''Temptation Island,'' their immediate likability soon set them apart. Although Frank's win-at-all-costs attitude (''anything but first is a loss'') could grate over time, it certainly seemed to spur Margarita to make the big leap off that bungee platform.

DAVE AND MARGARETTA He's a crusty yet cuddly military vet; she's his eternally youthful, game-for-anything wife (''That was way cool!'' she said after sliding above an African canyon on a wire). Together, they're like a ''Survivor'' all-star team -- Rudy married to Mad Dog Maralyn.

JOE AND BILL Proof that the couple that dresses together stays together, the 14-years-and-counting life partners with the matching outfits showed off an impressive knowledge of the travel industry that could come in handy down the road. But what we want to know is: Who's at home feeding Guido, the pet dog that provided their team's name?

NANCY AND EMILY Move over, Elisabeth and Colleen. There's a new ''America's Sweetheart'' in reality-show town: The button-cute Emily, who's travelling with her God-fearing mama, Nancy. But hands off, boys. On CBS' ''Amazing Race'' website, Emily mentions THREE times that she has a boyfriend named Trey (she even lists him along with her down comforter as the items from home she'll miss the most).

ROBERT AND BRENNAN The resident hunks -- roomies and attorneys at the same firm -- high-fived their way into first place in the race and won over the local kids in Zambia by handing out American flags and money. Yet they still didn't tip their cabbie on the way to the airport in New York. Typical lawyers.

1. "RE: Meet the characters behind ''Amazing Race'' "
Thanks, Roni! This really helped out, I was totally lost about the "missing couple" that I was sure that I initially saw on there and didn't see again until the very end.

Emily has a boyfriend name "Trey"??? You name huntin' dawgs Trey, you don't name humans Trey. Oh yeah, that's right, they live in Texas, don't they? Go, Emily, go! Bounce, Emily, bounce!
