The blonde girls had a Nathan and Jennifer when they were asking for directions at one point. My wife thought that one of the chicks had a male name.
Glad to see
gone.

Wow that was one gay idiot. I love how they all 'tell it like it is' and are the 'bigger bitch' than something else. So stereotypical. Glad I wont have to put up with that crap.
Still hate the goths and everyone else really. Just about 3 teams I can stomach.

I'm pulling for the engineers. Although the term "facilities engineer" does not exist, so it's illegal to refer to him as such.
And why does the openning sequence have a "facilities" engineer and an AE in a laboratory? Shouldn't they be playing with a windtunnel or something?

Loved that the yelling teams got their comeuppance with the donkeys. I like when teams that have no patience have to deal with stubborn animals.
A classic from the past...

Leave it to donkeys to recognize who the asses are.
This is the first time a team I hated has been eliminated in the first episode. Usually, it's a team that I would have liked to see go farther. But Ari looked liked a whiny little bitch, so
Otherwise, it was a pretty dull episode until they got to the donkeys. The high wire on bikes looks like it would be fun to do, but it's like the zip line/bungy jumping tasks that the producers of this show are in love with, in that there's no real racing involved in completing the task (There's no way to screw it up, unless you chicken out, which has never happened in the history of the show)

to the way they parked the cars at the start.I'm sad to say I think I'm going to miss bitchy and bitchier. They seemed like the kind of team that ends up having all the other teams gunning for them since they're so hated. It's a mighty waste of such good potential.

Goth Chick is kind of hot, or would be without the makeup. I'll miss Staelle, as she had some positives, glad Ari is gone.
Don't love the father/daughter, think the preachers will be gone soon, the brother sister are a little too cocky for my taste as well.

All these teams suck.
In order of suckiness from worst to least bad:
1. Who's Your Daddy and daughter
2. Goths (embarassment to mankind)
3. Butch lesbian preachers (BLP)
4. The blondes
5. Tool and hot girlfriend
6. Dumb sisters
7. Cursing grandpa and grandson who doesn't look like he gives a crap
8. Hippies
9. Boring couple
10. Black janitors

I read that Staella and Rachel graduated from Fountain Valley High as well in 2001.
