An okay premiere. I can't believe that in Survivor and TAR 2 of myfavorites were eliminated first.

Right now:
Favorite - Kerri & Stacy
Liked - Joey & Danny, Art & JJ, Elliot & Andrew, Dave & Rachel, Vanessa & Ralph
Average - Dave & Cherie, Misa & Maiya, Nary & Jamie
Disliked - Mark & Bopper
Hated - Brendon & Rachel (Brendon's racist comments were RIDICULOUS)

Misa & Maiya may have made the second biggest blunder ever after Kisha & Jen 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I hate to say it but out of all the seasons this is definitely one of the weaker premier episodes. Only 3 tasks, two of which didn't seem that hard and a few teams were completely overlooked and were hardly in it.

I did like how they made the person who didn't choose the Roadblock skydive and the one who chose it had to go after them. just wish they made the teammates harder to find once they landed. The last minute or two were really intense. I can't believe Misa & Maiya were the first ones out! I thought they'd be top 3 or 4. I really wish this was a non-elimination

my opinion on the teams:
favourite: Rachel & Dave
ok: Nary & Jamie, Elliot & Andrew - they were two of my pre-race faves but they weren't shown much in this episode at all. hopefully I'll like them more
Art & JJ did a lot better than I thought they would. they're between like and ok
least favourite: Mark & Bopper, mainly cause of Bopper. he can be annoying
like: everyone else

I liked the first episode, it wasn't super exciting but it was still very good.

Favorites: Kerri & Stacy, Joey & Danny, Elliot & Andrew, Misa & Maiya (going to miss them, didn't want them out first)
Everybody else was ok, not a huge Brendan/Rachel fan so far..

I think the first episode is great!

The bad thing was that some teams weren't even have enough air time, like Nary & Jaime, twins, Vanessa & Ralph.

Seems like luck is not on Misa & Maiya's side the whole of Leg 1. They were the last one to finish the starting line task, Misa (or I don't know Maiya) was lost at the roadblock and they can't even find Phil when he's just a few meters away from them.

My favorite for this leg was Dave & Cherie- I think they're a sweet couple and I can sense that they really want to be in this race and I can see that they are nice people.

I actually want to re watch the episode 'cause I was in school when I was watching it, so I was not paying attention that much.

This leg is not as good as I expected. Not intense at all. No starting line task. And they didn't show the "airport moment" ? :O Not a good premiere. Tasks seems so easy comparing to some other season's premieres. The cool thing about this leg is the opening when Phil introduce teams on bike and the last minutes (Misa and Maiya & Joey and Danny's footrace.)

Misa and Maiya made THE BIGGEST blunder of the race ! How can you say Kisha and Jen made a bigger blunder ? I read in their interview, Jaime and Cara had checked when Jen decided to go to the toilet. So, the toilet thing didn't affect them. :|

I'm glad Joey and Danny still survive. Look like they are a strong team :)))

List of team from favorite to least favorite :
1. Brendon and Rachel
2. Vanessa and Ralph
3. Joey and Danny
4. Dave and Cherie
5. Art and J.J.
6. Elliot and Andrew
7. Dave and Rachel
8. Misa and Maiya
9. Kerri and Stacy
10. Nary and Jamie
11. Mark and Bopper

This season have a lot of good coed and male teams, don't think the female teams are good enough.

I think Rachel & Dave are younger version of Ken & Tina. They're definetely one of my favourite teams for now.

I lied the episode. It was pretty weird though. They did not show any airport scenes which is weird.

I don't really like Brendon & Rachel...

1st: Ralph & Vanessa
2nd: Nary & Jamie
3rd: Kerry & Stacy
4th: Rachel & Dave
5th: Joey & Danny (i am not sure do i hate to love them or love to have them, but as long they're "weak", I Like them.)
