I almost forget the season starts today. This is kind of an "All-Star" Season since all the teams have been on the show before.

I'll be rooting for Flight Time/Big Easy and Jamie/Cara.

The show is finally in HD!!!

Glad it's back!

I'm surprised they didn't bring back teams from earlier seasons. 7 of those 11 teams are from like the last 2 seasons of TAR.

The Cowboys are so far back right now, it may take a serious medical emergency from one of the teams or one of those events that doesn't open until the next morning for them to catch up. They must be hours behind.

I could do without Ben from Lost and his dad, the 2 Red Headed evil step sisters as well as the Asperger twins. I didn't mind them until they seemed all put out by the guy having a heart attack on their flight.

Probably rooting for the team thats in first right now, the Cowboys, and the Globetrotters. I'd be down with any of them winning.

Jamie and Cara both wear a lot of makeup. Jamie looks a lot better in her Playboy pictures than she does on the show. I'm still rooting for them though.

I was so surprised they finished in 3rd place. They were hours behind.

^^^Flo and Zach from one of the first seasons were a day and a half behind once, but they still found a way to rig it for them to win.

I'm a having a hard time getting into this season. I would rather have a whole new cast.

It's still enjoyable, and I have my favorites I like, but it's definitely different. I think I prefer learning new teams each season and having ones I really like and ones I really hate. Here it's tougher cause there's not really many "hated" teams, and part of my enjoyment is finding people to root against lol

lmao at the sounds the made while shooting the arrow on the fake horse ...

mel and mike, as much as i loved them, probably should not have been on the show.

malory (sp?) was as cute as a button last year, but she's taken her caricature to a whole new level this season. her dad seems like a pretty cool guy though.

i tend to forget people after a couple of seasons, so i don't remember the brothers ... but i like them ... i also can't for the life of me remember christina's new fiance ...

Enjoyed the episode but one thing bugged me and it was Phil saying that the Globetrotters would be issued a 30 minute penalty, complete garbage. Since when did Phil start handing out penalties because a team was angry at them? What they did was clearly accidental and yet we've had teams blatantly steal cab's from other teams with absolutely zero penalties invoked.

They have to do something otherwise it'd encourage people to steal the other team's bags and hide them...I know the Globetrotters did it accidentally, but they still have to show teams that messing with bags isn't allowed.

Stealing cabs is part of the game, hiding bags isn't.
