Okay, by team (and forgive me if I'm forgetting the names -- it's the first episode, man):
Bilal and Sa'eed -- Damn it, I liked the Muslims. They were cool, they were polite, they were AWESOME, and they got eliminated all of a sudden after eating fish eyes. That had to suck. And as was already said on ye olde friends list, you just know if they had tried that water gun shit, they would have gotten arrested.
Peter and Sarah -- An encouraging boyfriend? Who the hell is this guy, and why was he allowed on the trip? I do like these two a lot, although I'm totally afraid they're going to fall apart later in the season. They seem focused and determined, which I respect. And I keep wondering about her prosthetic leg in relation to the rules, like if the crew's got another leg for her (since she said she's wearing her running leg).
Vipul and Arti -- Again, damn it, I liked them. She's so freaking pretty, and he's such a sweetie.
Kentucky -- Oh, why call them by their names? Nobody else is. ;) I'm not all that thrilled with them, but I did warm to them a little when Mrs. Kentucky found out they were still in the race and was so grateful she hugged both Phil and the China model before hugging Mr. Kentucky. *snickers*
Rob and Kimberly -- HAAAAAAAATE. Oh, my God, must I suffer through another team who spends the entire season arguing? Sheesh, what tools.
Kellie and Jamie -- I was all set to hate them because they're cheerleaders and they didn't exactly display the highest intelligence in the world ("Do Muslims worship Buddha?" That was their dumbass remark, right?), but then they started hanging with Tom and Terry and the four of them turned into the Spazz Patrol.
Tom and Terry -- Heh. You just know I'm going to send the entire season mistakenly typing Tom and Jerry.
The single moms -- God, bitchy much? They've got to lay off the other teams if they want me to like them.
Duke and his daughter -- You know, they're doing the touchy-feely bonding thing, but I have this vague suspicion if anybody's going to have a massive blowout sometime during the season over something that's not actually what they're arguing about, it'll be them.
The beauty queens -- Well, I like them so far.
Tyler and James -- Oh, how fucking hot are they? HUMMINA. Good for them for getting over addiction, too. I'd call them on laughing about the Meatheads getting busted for the water pistols, but they were kind of asking for it. Hello? Water pistols? IN AN AIRPORT?!
Erwin and Godwin -- Seriously, in an airport?
EDIT: And I now have the second season of The Office up to episode 17 downloaded. Did I ever mention that there's a guy at my job with the last name Halpert, and every time he gets paged, I die laughing? No? Well, now I have.

Date: 2006-09-18 02:25 am (UTC)Kentucky doesn't irritate me too much. She's got a mouth on her, but I think it's because she doesn't want to look stupid, ya know?
The single moms also don't irritate me too much. I know women just like them. I was so glad to see they didn't give up.
Rob and Kimberly have got to go. I just can't take another Jonathan and Victoria.
You're right about Peter! Man, he's almost too sweet to be true.
Everyone else is rather blending at the moment.
Okay, Phil said there were 8 elimination pit spots. There are 12 teams. Two teams were eliminated this time. I don't think there are going to be anymore double eliminations. Although last place may be in for some nasty surprises. Whaddya think?

I think I have this awful mental image of Phil asking Peter and Sarah to turn over everything, including the leg. Which won't happen, but it doesn't stop me from picturing it. Or from picturing one of the other teams saying something along those lines. There's always one set of dumbasses too stupid not to blurt something something like that out on national television.

Date: 2006-09-18 03:23 am (UTC)In short:
Sorry to see Team Islam and Team Karma leave...
Rob and Kimberly CANNOT leave soon enough.
Tyler and James- hot AND smart. Dude!
Edwin and Godwin- buff, educated and DOH! Not a lick of common sense between them.
And Sarah is my goddess. Climbing a rope with a prosthesis. ::::hands:::: And her boyfriend, when he said "When you make it to the top, I'm going to cry." I was a puddle of LURVE.
Kentucky, cheerleaders, beauty queens, single moms and gayangst!father/daughter.... eh. We'll see...

I was so thrilled when they were the first ones to figure out they'd have to make that border of gray tiles first. Yay for hot guys with brains!
Edwin and Godwin- buff, educated and DOH! Not a lick of common sense between them.
That's the Meatheads for you. Book smart and rock stupid. *sigh*
