..... I like the dad/daughter team, the granny/granddaughter team and the detectives.

I like the brother team too... one is gay, Jordan, one is straight, Daniel.

Jordan has been a fan of TAR since season 1.. that always endeers me to a team.

I'm not sure yet who I am for. I do know Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother. I'm actually still a little sick of them from seeing them all summer. I was at one point for either Jeff or Russell to win. That changed when Jeff stupidly broke his alliance with Russell. Russell was eliminated and I found Jeff/Jordan more and more irritating. Jeff got eliminated and Jordan won. By that time I really didn't like anyone left anyway, but she basically did nothing to win except attach herself to Jeff. I have a feeling they may be quite irritating on TAR. We shall see.

Big Brother is much more strategic in the US. Int he UK people vote who they want out for nomination - the two or more that have the most nomination go up for public votes, and thats it.

Joran and Jeff will probably be helped because they are well know,, this really helped Amber & Rob at times.... particulary in the first leg of their season. I predict midway because of this help but not much further.

I think you are right. I liked Rob and Amber much better though. I know a lot of people don't like Rob, but I do. I felt they kind of got the shaft on TAR because of a misspelled word and then I believe one of the other teams gave them (I can't remember what it is called now). It is where they have to go and do the other challenge too at the roadblock. Whatever happened was bad in my opinion because at that point they were already far, far behind. I hate that thing in TAR and I would love to see them get rid of it. It seems it is always directed at a team who is already losing anyway. Anyway, Rob is going to be on the upcoming Survivor.

Oh really? ANOTHER All star Survivor?

Yeah, it starts in the next couple of weeks. It's called Heroes vs. Villians and has people going all the way back to Season 1 or 2. I never saw Season 1, but I know Colby Donaldson is from Season 2 and he is on it.

So nobody is interested in the new race which started on Sunday..!?

So far the Miss Teen USA coupl did muc better than I expected.. and shes not as annoying so far as I thought... love the brother teams comments when they saw her and knew who she was straight away and were mimiking her!

The confused Chileans wondering about these random Americans with a camera crew painting badly? Hilarious.

I loved the looks on their faces when Phil said they had to take public transportation to get to the airport.

Why did the rodeo brothers get Brazillian money!?! Doh!
Why did Jordan think she was going to China!?!

Got some real thinkers there.    

So far the bimbo-y types are showing everyone up, and I can't say any of the other teams impresses me overly much.  I was amazed, though, when the cowboys managed to jump from ninth to finishing in the top five.  

[Kelda]

yes that was pretty impressive.. i guess they found and did the painting challenge pretty qick.


Interesting factoid.. the boyfriend of miss carolina.. went out with Brooke from the season 13  south carolina girls Marisa & Brooke, for about 3 years before he met his miss teen girlfriend.
