Since its very first episode, The Amazing Race has been our favorite show and we were thrilled they didn’t let it go as long between seasons this time.
Early favorites: I’m not sure how they’ll do, but I love Jet and Cord (the cowboys) and Dan and Jordan (the brothers — “I’m gay.” “I’m not.” They cracked me up.)
I didn’t realize Jeff & Jordan from Big Brother would be on there. While I think she’s frighteningly dim, she’s very sweet and I liked them as a couple, so it’s nice to see they’re still together, even if it’s a long-distance relationship.
I don’t really have a team I dislike yet. Probably Brent and Caite. I didn’t really care for Brandy and Carol right off, but her perseverence on the high-wire thing won me over.
And a 71-year-old grandmother who kicks ass. How awesome is that?
Favorite scene from the first episode: Steve and Allie going into some random building and painting the walls. That was hilarious.
Most annoying habit: Louie and Michael with the constant use of “baby”.
Did you watch it? Who did you like?

I too have watched from season 1. the random wall paining was too funny. Loved the look on the workers faces.

Hubby and I watched it last night, too, and loved it. It’s definitely my favorite reality show (though this season’s Survivor comes a close second).
I howled when Steve and Allie went into that house and started doing the painters’ work (badly, by the looks of it). And like you, I really like the cowboys and the brothers. The gay brother’s impersonation of Caite was spot on, and provided the other laugh-out-loud moment of the night for me.
What’s up with Louie and Michael calling each other “baby” anyway? I didn’t get the impression that they were gay — though maybe they are, that’s not the point. I found it strange, in any event.
Comment
Yeah, the “baby” thing needs to stop. Unless it’s a cop thing.
I thought all was lost when the cowboy brothers changed their American money for Brazilian in order to go to Chile. That was an interesting choice that made my husband and I both facepalm.

I adore this show too! Jeff & Jordan are one of my favorite reality TV couples (okay…they are my ONLY favorite :P) and they are absolutely adorable together. I also think the grandma kicks a**. I hope she goes far.
Brent and Caite need to go. There are way too many models/aspiring actors on these shows. I get tired of them.
