We could see Dave walking to the mat in the end of the Promo , while Bates and Battaglia were already checked-in. So we know those teams were neck an neck

Max and Katie seem like losers. I can handle her, but he looks like a guy who was bullied as a kid and that has turned him into a douchey smartass who takes his revenge on anyone, I hope they don't last long.

I'm just going to express again that I hate luck tasks, especially with Bates and Anthony checking in 2nd after like searching 2 sandcastles. I don't blame the task for Matt and Daniel's elimination, since they were too arrogant with the boat task.

I'm shocked they all took the penalty. If I was racing, I would have not agreed to take the penalty hoping that I have kept good track at which sandcastles I knocked down, but then again, I wasn't out there for 3 hours either.

IKR oval! they're just being entertaining! and i dont get the hate on the asians as well, they seem like lota of fun as well <3

the only team that should be hated is the doctors, they're so negative and used the other teams as an excuse for their ignorance ew

I don't hate Pam and Winnie, I don't know why anyone would. I also don't YET see how exciting they are.

@RachelLaVega That's exactly what I would have done too! I would have also laughed so hard if Max and Katie were eliminated after it was their idea for making the pact.

I am 99.99999% sure even if the Gutsy Grannies (Peggy & Claire) were in this season and didn't quit the sand Roadblock, they would have gotten 9th.

And that other 0.00001%... Kisha will kick me. :lol:

Random notes from episode one:

In getting ready to send the teams off, Phil reprises a phrasology from the first season I haven't heard him use since. ("Most of the teams will be eliminated...but the team that reaches the finish line first will win The Amazing Race and $1 million") (Check Phil's narration over the opening credits of that season)

Clearly some new places are in the opening credits, as well as images of places and people we've seen since the show switched to HD.

Two extreme roadblocks in the first leg. I crewed on a hot air balloon flight where skydivers jumped out, but I've not heard of the use of helicopters for civilian use in skydiving. Note that the team member were in tandem with a trained jumper, so we can assume that team members had safety instruction prior to going up. But still.....the fifth team to arrive at that roadblock got the short end of the stick....as they had to wait for teams from the second flight out of LAX to get to Bora Bora.

The decision of the last three teams to quit and take their chances on who would get to the pit stop first was risky but understandable. That was one hell of a roadblock. Requiring the teams to replace the sandcastles as they checked them certainly made the task much more difficult for the trailing teams. I have to question why teams started right at the closest end and not scatter themselves at different points along the lines of sand castles. I can see why it was taking teams 4 hours and still not finish with the replacement requirement. Could it be any more random?

Chuck was able to go on the helicopter by himself and not wait for the second flight. If you look at the sign up sheet, there was only one slot for the 3rd helicopter.
