1. Zev/Justin - I like their friendship and Zev's sense of humor makes me laugh.2. Globetrotters - They aren't good racers but they have fun and I like watching them. I still have some residual good will from their being concerned about the heart attack victim on the plane.
3. Jen/Kisha - I am pretending that I don't remember how much I disliked them last time. They are racing well and so far we haven't seen the ugliness we saw last time.
4. Mallory and Gary - Normally they are higher on my list because I love Mallory's joie de vivre but she totally panicked instead of asking for directions. She redeemed herself though by buying a map and using it later on in the race.
5. Mike/Mel - I absolutely loved them and their attitude last time around but I'm afraid neither of them is really up to the race this time.
6. Jaime/Cara - Haven't done anything to annoy me yet except pick matching horrendous shades of red hair dye.
7. Kent/Vixyn - I've seen way too much of Kent's shrill side and not enough of Vix's personality,
8. Jet/Cord - I don't understand why the puzzle was so difficult for Jet. They got really lucky with that bunching point. They should have been eliminated instead of Kris/Amanda.
9. Margie/Luke - They didn't bother me in their first season but this time I don't think they've smiled once. Luke loves the show - let's see some of the joy for being on the race again!
10. Christina/Ron - I have nothing against Christina but Ron's domineering and nagging is already getting old.
Philiminated - I really liked Kris and Amanda during their first season (and the associated eye candy ). They made a small goof in the beginning and were penalized big time for it. Too bad.
