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.
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??
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!
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!
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.
Everyone knows that you don't do the slow-but-easy task in the first leg, you idiots!
And just on a practical level, the stairs task looked like it could seriously fuck up your knees for any other potential running tasks later in the leg. Morons.
Can anyone explain to me what the kerfuffle was between Assholes and Siblings? Because I feel like I blinked and suddenly Jackass McSurfaceStreets was ranting about how much he hates Starr. (And not just the spelling of her name, with which I could sympathize.)

I'm pretty sure that the Siblings have no idea they are in a kefuffle either- I think Glasses Girl Dating a Total Tool tried to say something about cabs being hard to find and they didn't hear her or understand she was talking to them(I sure didn't and I have the editing on my side) and then the Tool pretty much was all, see??? they hate you!!! And she was all, "I guess you're right."
Oh, I hope my tivo got TAR. And keeps it 'til after work.
Okay, so it's not just me. I couldn't follow the cab thing at all - I thought maybe he was mad at her for "sharing information" by saying cabs were hard to find? So the siblings went to a different corner to find one?
Anyway, CONFUSING.
The thing to remember is that their logic is not our Earth logic.
