Glad I'm back early this week! Is this the first time a "dating couple" will not be in the Final Three? Trying to remember.

1)Dallas & his mom - I'm referring to them that way because this team seems all about Dallas. Toni just doesn't stand out at all - I think she could sit next to me on the subway tomorrow and I wouldn't recognize her. I hope she is not sublimating her own personality and living vicariously through Dallas. In another season, this team would be in the middle of my list. It is possible to be an interesting team without drama - see Kris & Jon.

2)Andrew & Dan - In the grand tradition of Terri & Ian and Lyn & Karlin, a team of completely incompetent racers will make the Final Three.

3)Ken & Tina - Just do not like Tina's constant nagging, Ken should move on.

4)Nick & Starr - I like them least of all. I'm hoping this will not be one of those seasons where I have to change the channel just before the winner hits the mat. I did that with BJ & Tyler and Freddy & Kendra, will be doing it again if Nick & Starr are coming in first. They seem like such spoiled brats - like they've always gotten everything they've wanted, were the popular kids in High School and come from a weathly enough family to put them into prestigious colleges. I believe overcoming hardships builds character - Don't see Nick or Starr as having any character and would hate to see them handed a million dollars.
