I don't know if I like the idea of splitting up the teams, but I don't hate it, either. We'll have to see how it goes. The one thing I didn't understand was why put together a team of strangers if you were just going to split them up again? That kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Also, more than one contestant said something along the lines of "Gee, I thought the first workout would be easy." And these are people who have watched the show before? I'm in decent shape, and there's no way I want to work out with those trainers, at least not the way they do on the ranch.

I wonder what Ben's brother(?) will say when he finds out Ben wanted to go home. Do you think the fact that they were split up and he wouldn't be with family made it that much lonelier for Ben so he was more willing to go home?

I also don't have a particular favorite or villain yet - too many faces.
