I don't watch a lot of YouTube, so I have no familiarity with any of the teams, but I don't find any of them particularly offensive or despicable. Annoying and overtalkative, sure. I'm not actively rooting against any of the teams, which is a nice change of pace. I'm not actively rooting *for* anyone either, though I'm a wee more affectionate toward Tyler and Korey.

I just needed to post my jealousy at them all enjoying the ultimate travel-porny backdrop of the French Alps. Oh. My Glorious.

I'm horribly afraid of heights as well, so if I were a racer, I would likely be taking a penalty or two. All the more time for me to sit on the sidelines and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

Man, what a beautiful episode. I'm not a huge fan of Cole and his mom, but was really impressed they did that climb with the dynamite - I screamed a couple of times in my living room just watching that. What a view, though, it looked amazing once you got there. Same with the paragliding (?) over the Alps - just gorgeous to see. It was nice to see the racers appreciate it as well.

The finale is tonight.


It's the cute little gay guys for the win, right? Once they got rid of the frisbee guys, anyone else would be a suprise.

I'd love to see the mom and son win, just because it would be so unpredictable. That's one of the problems with the show in the past several seasons. The winners are predictable.

The dancers snipe too much, and the Tyler from the guys team has The Fakest Laugh ever and it drives me totally insane.

Well, despite the dancers winning, that was one of the most anti-climactic finales. I wasn't really a fan of them, her mainly, but honestly, I wasn't that invested in any of the final three. The two teams I liked the most went out in the last few episodes.

The dancers were the only team I didn't like in the finale, just because she was so awful so many times. Someone needs to explain to them that being viciously mean to someone you supposedly love isn't a sign of "passion".

For the most part, I really enjoyed this season. I was skeptical at the start, but I ended up liking most of the racers.

What happens when 22 strangers are picked to work together in teams to stop being polite and start getting real? They end up on The Amazing Race, which returns after 10 months off.

The new season premieres at 10 PM Eastern / Pacific on CBS.

This could get interesting, since trust is usually an important trait in the Race. But the format, very unlike Survivor just seems tired. With that said, I'm completely there. Wanderlust is strong in me these days.
