YAAAAY! Okay, so maybe I'm not *that* scared. :) I'm so addicted, it's sad. HEE.

And the teams --

The Gaghans: Okay, the little girl is kinda cute.

The Linz family: HEE. I like them. The youngest one is nice and snarky.

The Paolos: Meh. The father's kind of sweet, but the kids ... meh.

The Blacks: Okay, so maybe I like the kids.

The Bransens: These people have no sense of humor.

The Weavers: They seem nice enough.

The Aiellos: They look like they'll be amusing.

The Schroeders: Okay, yeah, this will be the team I hate.

The Godlewskis: Oh, these women already strike me as airheads.

The Rogers family: That father can just fuck off kthxbi.

The Black family seems cute enough, but for God's sake, let's refrain from all dressing alike, 'kay?

I think what helps is that so far, the kids don't appear to be so bad. And the little girl is positively adorable. (Of course, that might not last.)

EEE! Eyebrow of Phil! We're off!

Oh, for crying out loud, if you're already tired, you're so screwed.

It's official -- they better start eliminating people soon because I can't keep anyone straight.

Oh, never follow. First rule, damn it!

Good, the Gaghans are in first place. They're cool so far.

The eldest Paolo son is pissing me off.

All right, so far the teams who haven't pissed me off yet are in the lead.

Did the Weavers just dub the sisters the Desperate Housewives? Because, BWAH!

Okay, what part of "Never follow" are you missing? *headsmack*

Mmm ... okay, the three brothers are hot. :)

"The Pink Ladies"? "Silicone"? Can some team OTHER than the sisters get a nickname, please?

Yeah, because that's exactly what I want to hear, Paolos -- you people arguing constantly. *eye roll*

HEE. I think I like watching the Linz family and the Gaghans race one another. The brothers have a good sense of humor and the Gaghans are really nice.

Oh, I really hope the Pink Ladies aren't going to stick with the pink for the rest of the season. (And yes, I'll be sticking with the Pink Ladies, because really.)

Yes, eldest Paolo, you are retarded. Now, GO AWAY.

Oh, East Mountain Sports must LOVE these people.

"Are you allowed to use spray paint?"
"I think they highly discourage it." -- *snerk*

"We'll be teaching you a little bit about how to be a boy." HEE!

Okay, the frantic music playing over the Paolos is priceless. Yay, Amazing Soundtrack People. :)

Holy crap, they're going to Pennsylvania! (Okay, nowhere near me, but still. *flails anyway*)

"Do you have a frank?" AWW. I may never take back that "Carissa is adorable" assessment.

All right, the Pink Ladies need to stop shrieking.

Oh, my God, I didn't even realize the frank guys are Kevin and Drew from TAR 1! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

"I don't know if that means, like, the state of Pennsylvania ..." Dude, how many other Pennsylvanias ARE there?

"We'll need her later, so let her rest." *snerk*

"Yankees suck, Yankees suck ..." HEE.

Oh, come ON. She doesn't know that Pennsylvania is a state and she's preaching during the Race? Dead to me.

Oh, cool, they're crossing the river!

Yay, the Aiellos are in first! As long as teams I like are in first, I'm happy.

This rowing might be a problem for the teams with kids.

Woohoo! The Pink Ladies are lost! And so are the Schroeders! *happy dance*

"Stroke it all you want." BWAH. Hellooooo, Team Blatant Subtext.

Awww. The Aiellos are really cool.

Ick. The Bransens bore me.

The same kid from the Weavers and the Rogers family keep racing one another.

Okay, if you're getting trounces by the team with the nine-year-old, I'm being amused. :)

BWAHAHAHA. Yay, Gaghans!

They keep warning about that current, so you just know somebody's going to get tripped up by that.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there they go downstream.

People are actually watching Ghost Whisperer? You mean, like, not on a dare or anything?

The little kids beat you because they're awesome. So there.

Yay, the Aiellos and Gaghans are leaving at 10:00! Two teams I like in the lead! (The Weavers ... well, the kids don't seem so bad, but the mother ... *gags*)

I will give a free pass to any team that finds a way to muzzle the Pink Ladies.

HEE! Paolos are in last place! Watching those people try to use teamwork is painful.

"Girls aren't supposed to build tents." Oh, bite me, princess.

She dropped the clue? Oh, for fuck's sake.

I think I need a Carissa icon for this season, just 'cause.

They're spending a good chunk of the season opener in Pennsylvania. That makes me happy. :)

Oh, good Lord, they even have pink rain slickers.

But of course ... because Pennsylvania is FILLED with Amish people, so let's have an Amish challenge.

Boy, Carissa's just catching everything, isn't she?

Okay, see, this is where having little kids on your team is helpful.

HOLY SHIT! I didn't want her run over by a buggy! *covers eyes*

"But I'm not, and we're fine." Your kid's upset, Mrs. Weaver. Jesus.

Aw, damn it. My family could have done "Build It" in a cakewalk. My dad's a contractor, for crying out loud.

"Get used to it, dork." *snerk* They're like me and my brother, except shorter. :)

Okay, the brothers may be hot, but they appear to be a wee bit wimpy.

Only in front of your siblings can you puke like that. Ick. And also, HEE.

ARGH. The Pink Ladies have the most annoying voices EVER, and I sat through Jonathan and Victoria. (Okay, so maybe not as bad as those two, but close.)

Ow. My ears, they hurt.

WOOHOO! Gaghans are number two!

"In farm country"? That's pretty much all of Pennsylvania, pal.

No, damn it! I want to keep the eye candy!

YAY! My eye candy gets to stay! The Black family will have to leave, which sucks, but still.

Soooo....did you know that Jake Kane plays Geena Davis's husband on Commander in Chief? And Commander Lock from the Matrix movies plays her chief of staff?

I love the Gaghans. That little girl is the cutest thing ever.

Oh, she's awesome. I was afraid I'd dislike that team, because they seemed so white-bread and soccer-mom when they first announced the teams, but they're really tough and they work together really well.

That little boy annoys me though. I like the little girl, the parents are just kinda... there, but the boy bugs.

The only reason the boy's not bothering me too much is because the Paolo sons are so, sooooo much worse. The Gaghan kid might be competitive, but those Paolo guys are bastards.

True. I'm still referring to Son Gaghan as mini-Colin, though.

I have to jump on the Gaghan band-wagon too. I suppose I had low expectations because they had little kids and I expected them to be little shits. But, they're pretty funny. They seem self-aware and I'm sure the family's world travelling has given them a good grounding.

And seriously, how fucking hilarious was that "She'll be coming around the mountain" bit? It's even funnier when it's obvious the kids started doing it just to annoy the other team as they passed.

Speaking of little shits, how the hell did the Paolos jump from last to 6th place?

The Aiellos father reminds me of an older Anthony Hopkins for some reason.

The Schroeder dad is obnoxious but entertaining. Kind of an older Boston Rob. Plus the daughter is hawt. Even if she is jailbait right now.

The Weaver mom is annoying. I laughed at "But I'm not, and we're fine." I liked the fact that a Weaver vs Gaghan rivalry was building. I liked the fact that it'll be one sided because one half the Gaghan's are too mature to get that wrapped up in it and the other is too young to realize it's even happening.

*shrugs* Sorry, but I can't like the Gaghans, only because the son annoys the CRAP out of me.

Loving the Aiellos (and one of the sons is mad hot, though of course I don't know his name) and the Linz family ('cause all you need is hotness and snark sometimes).

The Weavers can go away any time now, and the Paolos need to really GO AWAY. And shouldn't they have gotten a time penalty for dropping the clue? I was under the impression that all clues had to be turned in at the end of the leg, unless they're changing rules again.

I think the big reason I'm giving the older Gaghan kid slack is because it's only the first episode, and aside from the Weaver mom, the Paolos, and the Pink Ladies, who all annoyed the hell out of me past the point of being allowed anything resembling slack, I'm giving everybody a little leeway to bother me.

But I'm leaving the older Gaghan kid alone for now because the rest of his family isn't bugging me, every time he has bothered me, Carissa's told him off, and really, his enthusiasm to do every challenge is such a twelve-year-old boy thing, I'm letting it go for now. I'll have to see if it progresses from normal-boy-in-competitive-family to annoying-tiny-Colin levels.

Even Phil was backing away from the Pink Ladies at the mat. Hopefully, this was just first leg excitement and they'll calm down.

I can't remember names, but I like the three brothers with the sister, who came in last. They had me during the introduction segment when the oldest brother was talking about how he'd been in the real world and was responsible and one of the others said, dude, you live at home.

If they calm down, I can see them falling into "meh" territory :P
