Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm somewhat behind, but how hilarious would it be to run into all these jokers at the airport? That just occured to me for the first time, for whatever reason. And how psyched would you be in the main line when they all started running off (assuming they were in front of you in line....)?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Dude, that guy - the newly dating guy from NYC- is CRAZY. Crazy! 1) gets mad when his girlfriend speaks a language he doesn't know 2) gets mad when his girlfriend talks to other people 3) gets mad when his girlfriend runs faster than him and 4) gets mad when his girlfriend attempts to talk without his permission. OMGWTF?? She has also fallen into his lair of crazy with the "I hate the people who didn't respond to me even though it wasn't clear at all I was talking to them."

I guess it would take some major insecurity to be able to put up with THAT guy's BS.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

They are in Salvador. Yay! Also, the newly dating couple are insane. He was upset because she was talking to other teams instead of spending every moment focused on him? Ooooookay. Clingy much? But her Portugese is excellent.

I'm loving on Team Geek. Also love the DCC team. I can't help it. I love cheerleaders. I could also like the mom and son. They seem very, very sweet.

Because books.

Well, so much for the Hippies. Oh well.

Sadly, the Hippies had "First Eliminated" written all over them. They seem sweet, though. Glad they got to see Brazil.

In addition to not enjoying the Clingwrappers, I am not feeling Team Cheatin' Heart and the wannabe Frats (I refuse to call them Superbad). I don't feel like I really know enough about the other teams yet. I mean, I can't even tell the two all female teams apart!

I can't believe the two guys who climbed the stairs beat them.

The douches have found their new king. Also, they way he opened everything with, "I love you, but..." like that makes it all better.

Bye, actual hippies!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I did NOT expect the couple from New York to be this year's Zach & Flo. But I guess you just can't tell sometimes!

Team Comic-Con has my vote all the way. Go geeks!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I also loves me the Geeks.

Nora beat me to my early and total hatred of Team Newly Dating an Asshole. What a total jerk! Also don't like the frat boys (whom I identified as such as soon as they showed up on screen before I even noticed their t-shirts). Everyone knows that you don't do the slow-but-easy task in the first leg, you idiots! (Also, don't these teams watch the first legs of every other season? The check-in at the opening airport is always flagged--you never get in the general flyers line!)

I'm liking the brother-and-sister team, surprisingly enough. At first, I thought they'd just fade in with all the other young-and-beautiful teams, but his eye-rolling over the fratboy's jerkiness while in the airport line (wonderfully captured by the cameraman with the fratboy in the background and the brother in the foreground) got my attention. I also liked their teaming up with the separated team on a limited basis--they know how to play the game this early in the race.
