Aaaaaand we're off!

[apocalypsos]

-- I knew that twist before the episode started and I was still like, "Ho, shit."

-- "The world is waiting for you." I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO HEAR THAT AGAIN, PHIL. \o/

-- All of the teams I've been rooting for right off the bat are getting the clue for the plates and FAST. (Right now, it's Sam and Dean, the Globetrotters, Zev and Justin, the poker champs, and the older couple who I'm liking the best.) And it's down to the two couples I liked the least! Woohoo!

-- Awww. I didn't even like them very much in their introductory stuff and that sucked. I really don't like Lance, though. Are we sure we can't get rid of him, too?

-- "I play basketball for the Harlem Globetrotters." *snickers* I like Zev bunches already.

-- I'd complain about Maria and Tiffany bluffing the other teams, but ... well, they're poker players. And that argument was just, oh, please don't argue yourselves into last place already, you're the only all-girl team this year.

-- I kinda want to smack both Mika and Canaan.

-- YAY JAPANESE GAME SHOW!

-- This is almost better than cheese rolling!

-- I'm developing an instant crush on Cheyne for finding this fantastic.

-- YAY CHEYNE AND RON! Good for them for getting it first.

-- Oh, my God, Marcy's insane.

-- HO SHIT.

-- I feel so bad for Maria for having to eat two of those.

-- Yay for Cheyne and ... oh, man, I missed her name. Which sucks, because I like them as well.

-- "I'm proud of you. Should we make out?" *dies laughing*

-- Okay, if we lose Sam and Dan in the first episode, I'm going to be so disappointed, let me tell you. :(

-- Ugh, Lance and Keri. Something about those two rubs me the wrong way.

-- Go, Dan!

-- I love that both teams are quite patently FULL OF SHIT. Maria and Tiffany don't work for a nonprofit for homeless kids and Sam and Dan aren't straight. HEE.

-- I kinda love that they gave all the teams megaphones, and yet at the same time, oh, why did they give these guys megaphones?

-- ACK. Please don't let me lose my gay brothers. *crosses fingers*

-- Meh. I'm iffy on Garrett and Jessica right now. The "dating on and off" is NEVER a good sign.

-- YAY GAY BROTHERS! "That's horrible but we'll take it!" ME TOO.

-- Canaan got on my good side a bit by carrying that poor woman to the mat.

-- Aww, damn it, I didn't want to lose the only all-female team first.

-- Aaaaaaaand we get to keep them! WOOHOO!

-- Urgh. My computer went kerflooey for a moment, just in time for me to get back with Zev being an awesome guy to a stranger and the girls calling him and Justin cold in a talking head. Yeah, you know what? I'm not rooting for the all-girl team anymore.

-- Yay, Meghan and Cheyne! I am really liking those two. They're hot, they get along well, and they're nice to the others as well.

-- Hee! Aw, Justin. Although, oh, man, if their clue fell in the water that's going to suck.

-- Woohoo! Go, Sam and Dean!

-- ZEV IS THE DUCK WHISPERER.

-- Aaaaand now they're arguing.

-- Holy crap, it's Pinky and the Brain! Go, them!

-- Yay, Sam and Dan are in second! And the Globetrotters are third!

-- I love Zev. He is my new favorite SO MUCH.

-- So, let's see:

1. Pinky and the Brain
2. Gay Brothers
3. Globetrotters
4. Lance and Keri
5. Zev and Justin
6. Meghan and Cheyne
7. Mika and Canaan
8. Maria and Tiffany
9. Marcy and Ron
10. Brian and Erika
Eliminated: Garrett and Jessica

And I'm going to completely steal something from neonhummingbird:

Love:

Zev and Justin -- Too awesome by half. Zev's wonderful and Justin's such a great friend.
Meghan and Cheyne -- Kris and Jon vibe still intact. Keep it up, you two!
Sam and Dan -- Because I'm hopeless, and even when they're arguing I still slash them.
Globetrotters -- They're GLOBETROTTERS. Hello.

Like:

Pinky and the Brain -- I'm not ridiculously excited by them, but they seem great so far, SO.
Marcy and Ron -- They're doing very well, but then again they're the token older couple so I'm tryin not to keep my hopes up.

Meh:

Brian and Erika -- I liked them at first, but that quickly eroded during the course of the episodes.
Mika and Canaan -- They're normally nice and awfully pretty, but they also don't appear to behave well to one another under pressure and the sexuality thing (or lack thereof) turned me off. (Yes, I see the irony.)

Haaaaate:

Lance and Keri -- I'm not sure about her, but I definitely don't like him.
Maria and Tiffany -- Yeah, they really shouldn't have insulted Zev on my watch.
