Last night we had the 2 hour premiere of The Amazing Race on CBS and it didn’t let me down! The twist of one team being eliminated right away was wonderful, although I wish it would have been a few other teams than the yoga couple Eric & Lisa. Like Lance and Keri, who are living up to my expectation. But I was very proud of the way they handled it, I know I would have been pissed!
They really threw the teams right into the race with sending them to Tokyo. Not only a language difference but leading (and not losing any) a group of 20 thru the crowded streets of Tokyo. Not an easy task at all and had many teams lost and confused. Mika & Canaan and Maria & Tiffany both lost people. When Maria & Tiffany couldn’t find their missing people they got a 2 hour penalty.
So what did you all think of the teams, did they differ from what you thought? My thoughts on them are pretty much the same, Lance & Keri fighting, Ericka yelling & crying, Megan & Cheyne kicking butt. However, Garrett & Jessica sure let me down. I knew they were going to fight but I didn’t think they would have been out so early. I am really loving Zev and Justin! Not only are they both super funny, they are also really nice guys. Justin carried one of their people in Tokyo and Zev gave away his jacket in Vietnam. Zev “duck whisper with god like powers” was one of my favorite lines all night. I am also enjoying the humor the Globetrotters are bringing to this season.
One of the best moments that happen last night was one a guy recognized the poker girls, Maria & Tiffany as professional poker players. The girls had told everyone that they worked with homeless teens in LA. After they were outed the other teams were not happy and their opinion of the girls changed. I am glad it happen so quickly and they were not able to get away with it for long. But I am ok with the brother Sam & Dan not giving up the fact they are gay. It is funny to see the girls think they can use their womanly ways to manipulate them.
If the rest of the season is going to be this good as the first one, then this going to be such a good season and I don’t think it is going to let us down! We would love to hear your thoughts about the first episode, so leave us a comment below!
