Well, gag me now. I'll give them a chance, but I'm so tired of models and wannabe actors on reality shows. Sorry, but the real life is not composed strictly of pretty. That said, I like to watch male eye-candy.
A first for the show — an Indian-American team! Vipul, age 29, is in sales and his wife Arti, age 26, is a nutritional educator. They're from Windermere, Florida. They both speak several languages and are well-traveled. Vipul admits to being a bit over-zealous, but Arti thinks she reins him in nicely. Will this be a Hindi Jonathan and Victoria Baker? Oh my gosh, I hope not!
I think this couple has the potential for a really strong showing in the race and might be contenders for the win. A lot will depend on tempermant. I'm always leery when a contestant says he or she is over-zealous. I guess we'll see.
So, there are the teams we'll see this season. Have you picked a favorite? Or a least favorite?

Having seen tonights episode, I really like the make up of the teams this time around. They're more diverse and seem to have more personality than any in recent memory. It should make for a race and good season to watch.

I'm in the middle of watching the show right now. I like it better this year than last so far.
I like the guy models, the indian married couples, the Muslims (which, of course, are gone), and the team with the woman with the fake leg.
I can live with out the gay guys, beauty queens, single moms, and cheerleaders. I get enough cheerleaders in school. The beauty queens are annoying. I'm tired of the gay guys EVERY SEASON. Ugh, team Guido.
The single moms are the worst. "I'm hate that Sarah girl. One minute she has a disablity, the next she can do stuff." WTF?

"The single moms are the worst. "I'm hate that Sarah girl. One minute she has a disablity, the next she can do stuff." WTF?"
Those single moms are annoying...but have a point.
Re-watch the episode. At times Sarah is superwoman, other times she pre-boards flights and once during this extended episode the couple tells someone about her leg to get something (I don't remember what it was, but it was quite obvious they were playing up her disability).
There is something to be said for "on one hand, she's disabled, on the other, she's a marathon(!) runner"
If that Sarah couple had class they would never play up the disability to their advantage (After all, if Sarah can run marathons, she needs no advantage).

Anyone else SICK TO DEATH of the homosexuality on this show? It USED to be one that we could watch with the kids, but we're TIVOing it no longer. Just who IS their target audience? It certainly isn't families; or if it is, someone hasn't a clue. Great concept for a show (though, truthfully, even though Treasure Hunters ripped it off, they did a better job), but I'm tired of it being in my face.
If the two teams whose sexuality is paraded lose and are off the show, we may watch from then on. Wake up, CBS. We're middle America.

its a shame the cheerleaders and the married couple were eliminated.im rooting for the father and daughter team and the beauty queen. go girls. go dad! and of course the gorgeous male models..id like to see them hook up the models and the beaty queens

Race? it seemed to be STAGED than reality. For all we know, they already know what will happen and who will be eliminated.
I've seen the episode where they have to fly to Madagascar, what the heck is the point of leaving on a different time frame based on your progress if you all have to be on the same plane anyway? Not fair eh?
Dang, I'd rather watch Fear Factor!
