And the token gays are included in the cast. Every stupid show has to have their token gays.

I was wondering if lsutiger and geauxlsusam would be here. Yeah, I've gotta pull for the mom and son as well. And I'm also sort of liking the stunt men too.

I was surprised by the (West) Virginians. They were the only team that got all the cheese down the hill in one trip by using the carriers as sleds. The guy is smart, but the wife is a crybaby.

okay enough with the deaf stuff already... we get it the kid is deaf... on with the race

I'm seeing that the lawyers are going to get for being assholes... anyone else notice the girl fight with the small guys for a clue envelope and then later just cut ahead of them again for a clue? They have to go...

and bye bye mr. aubie

Great first episode. The bickersons from Auburn going out first was

I read on another board that Mike, Mel and Luke are all gay. And the lawyer guy pinged my gaydar too.

None of them stuck out as "I'm the token gay" to me unlike Starr's brother last season. Perhaps my gaydar needs adjusting.

I felt bad for the dude from Auburn. His gf sucked. He carried her the whole time and then she couldn't even run by herself at the very end with people in front of them. She jumped on his back. I would tell her to hit the bricks sally.

Well I only knew about Mel & Mike being gay father and son from their pre-show bios and then Mike said so in their opening clip. Neither one would have pinged my gaydar.

And I can see how Luke would be under the radar since the editors are only focusing on his deafness.

OK, my early rankings…

The Chinese
The midgets
Team deaf
The old couple

The blacks
The flight attendants
Dating san diego
The cheer leaders
The gays
Red-necks…

(I’ve put a space between the relevant teams and the ones that won’t matter)

Also, I’m happy the “dating from s. Carolina” team got kicked off because I base all my decisions in life off of sports, and when I saw he had auburn attire on, I yelled at the tv…

The flight attendants thought they were going to be the hot chicks this season until they saw the cheer leaders. Now they're just some mildly attractive fake blondes.

Yeah the deaf angle is already completely played out. When they signed up in the 7:15 group after getting to switzerland, and he turned to his mom and signed "Nobody would have thought before this that a deaf guy could get in the top 4"....What the hell was that all about? Who here thinks deaf people have trouble reading a clue and then getting in a taxi? With help from their mom.

Their level of "Sharla and Myrnaness" is really going to piss me off this season.

If anything, they have an advantage because they are used to communicating with people who don't "speak" their language. If the dude was blind or in a wheel chair I'd think he was accomplishing something. Deaf? Not so much.
