What makes you cringe/annoyed? Something about the teams? World Race Productions' decisions? Anything? I'll start:
-when teams like Chester/Ephraim (TAR23) Jon/Harley (TAR26) fall so far behind and kill all suspense, but both instances saved some likeable teams imo!
-when they decide to make the first legs as linear as possible (TAR26 and basically any other recent premieres)
-
TAR24
-
When non-eliminated teams have very slim chances to catch up :groan:

TAR24
THIS. :funny:

Making hard & intriguing legs NELs.

Making hard & intriguing legs NELs.
TAR 21 Leg 5 - a physically demanding leg.
TAR 24 Leg 9 - I remember this leg having so many random ARI's and tasks?
TAR 25 Leg 4 - hard/great challenges.
-
The fact that production has been cutting out all of the ugly American moments.
Granted, being an ugly American is not a good thing and people shouldn't do it, but people do still do it and I thought that it made for good television. At this point, it seems like we'll never get a repeat of TAR10 Rob yelling at his Vietnamese taxi driver, because everyone is now picture-perfect to foreigners.
At least we still have goofy American moments

Bringing back teams that don't deserve to be brought back and listening too much to the casual fans when it comes to recasting of teams. So basically TAR24 in a nutshell.
-
Boring all-male teams like Bates/Anthony, Chester/Ephraim, Art/JJ, Brandon/Adam, and many more.
We need more all-male teams like Leo & Jamal, Bopper & Mark, Joey & Danny, etc.

CaroJen & 2nd EP :gaah: (:;)

TAR24
THIS. :funny:
+1
The new editing. :gaah: The editors have discarded pieces of TAR tradition like Pit Starts, Phil announcing Pit Stop placements, and suspenseful music. I still can't live down "Season 18" (TAR24 ref).

Also not all teams are shown actually departing. And the new way of introducing tasks on the spot sucks.

Introducing tasks on the spot <3 Teams not actually shown departing </3

I thought TAR26 premiere is not that linear :)
-
When teams hop on the mat together with both feet. I honestly have to turn away when this happens.
Casting models, actors, semi celebrities, or any on the spot casting from SoCal. Give me some real people!
-
I have so many TAR Pet Peeves that I want to bitch and moan. :gaah: :gaah: :gaah: (:;) (:;) (:;)
Route: Lackluster route like TAR21 (First half was all basically third world countries scenic leg.) and TAR24 (First 8 leg was the 4 consecutive double leg in one country).
Task: Uninspired, unbalanced, ridiculous, boring, dull or easy task like TAR16 Chile 2, TAR16 France 1 WW1 Detour, TAR18 Austria Chimney RB, TAR20 Tanzania 1 minute Jumping, TAR21 Indonesia task, TAR21 & TAR24 Spain bull task, every Switchback task so far (except My Ox is Broken switchback IMO), and more...
Cast: I have problem with the cast especially on the M/M team and M/F team.
1) Rude, Douche, or Obnoxious: Reichen & Chip, Jonathan & Victoria, BJ & Tyler, Eric & Jeremy, Globetrotters, Cowboy Jet, Louie & Michael, Art & JJ, and more...
2) Boring: David & Jeff, Kris & Jon, TK & Rachel, Toni & Dallas, Gary & Matt, Jeremy & Sandy, ...
3) Please no/less gimmick or (semi) famous celebrity/mactor into TAR, we want more normal and real people in TAR. (Eg. Linda & Karen, Oswald & Danny, Tammy & Victor, Nat & Kat, JenKisha, Chuck & Wyona, Shelly & Nici, Amy & Maya, Hayley & Blair, CJ & Lebya, Jeff & Lyda, ...)
Editing: Editing was gone down south since TAR18 or TAR19 (Background music has been cheesy & fun and not dramatic, anticlimactic editing, Pit Stop editing, TBC editing, ...)
Twist: U-Turn (Placing RIGHT before the Pit Stop or placing in the leg that U-Turned team was 100% impossible to catch up), Speedbump (90%++ was too easy, while the other was ridiculously tricky that the Speedbump team was impossible to catch up).
I'm done. :lol:

What I meant was the Detour in Kuala Lumpur was very hard and then it was a non Elim
-
When a team falls behind and kills all of the suspense, that is the WORST case.
-
To be fair, the editing DID try to show teams extremely behind that they still had a shot no matter how small. Sure, a team really behind kills suspense, but you can't say the editors didn't even try (ignore TAR24's entirety).

People on RFF making up their minds on a season after only four episodes in :funny:
-
When the location they show on the outside or in aerial shots is NOT the same place as where the contestants are.
For instance, in Ep. 4 of TAR26, the contestants were praying at some minor temple in the middle of Thonburi, but the aerial shots showed Wat Saket (the Golden Mount).

Update
TAR always going to to the same countries or the same region and cities (UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Chile, Argentina, Moscow & Saint Petersburg in Russia, Java Islands in Indonesia, Istanbul in Turkey, Phuket & Bangkok in Thailand, Beijing & Shanghai in China, Tokyo & Osaka in Japan, Sydney & Auckland in Australia & NZ respectively).
TAR ignored these countries and regions that haven't visit or visited very long ago and never wanted to come back: Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, Portugal (Until TAR 23), Luxembourg, Andorra, Finland, Greece, Baltic countries, Central Europe countries (Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia), Balkan / ex-Yugoslavian countries, Caucacus countries, Sardinia Island in Meditarrien Sea, Ecuador, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ethiopia, Madagascar, South Africa, Nepal, Maldives, Laos, Philippines (Until TAR 25), Siberia / Russian Far East, Kyushu region & Hokkaido region in Japan, South Korea, Melbourne in Australia, NZ South Island (until TAR 22).

Java Indonesia / What about Bali
1) Out of 11 visits to China, 10 seasons visits are involved big metropolitan cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, HK). Where is other exotic and historical cities like Xi'an in TAR6, Lijang-Kunming in TAR18?
2) Same as China, all 7 visits to Japan are always involved big metropolitan cities (Tokyo and Osaka) with AT LEAST a task been done which I CANNOT tolerate at all unless they used as transit point to other Japanese suburb or historical cities without any task been done in Tokyo and Osaka. Where is Kyoto, Nagoya, Hokkaido Island, Kyushu Islands, and so on?
3) As for Indonesia, 3 out of 4 visits are in Java Island (Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Bandung), Bali is the only non Java Island visit which was the best Indonesia leg at that time until the double Bandung leg appears in next season. Oh come on, Indonesia was so big and diverse, and yet they keep on back to Java Island and do ****ty and awful legs there. (Of course Bandung been excluded) Not to mention they still didn't have a freakin legit Jakarta leg there.

The Japanese game shows from 20 and 23 :gaah:
I enjoyed Wasabi Roulette, but I'd be happier if the task didn't have its own spin-off.

But you can't go wrong with that Japanese host. Imo, he should have hosted TAR Asia *bricked*

This. I already frustrated with the gimmick type Japanese game shows task since 20. Apparently the game host was come back in 26 as samurai on the sa'ke Detour (which I also criticized for the task being ridiculously easy). So I think he will appeared again in TAR29 Japan visit for some other wacky/cheesy task.(The every 3 season visit to Japan trend since TAR9 which is not my favourite as well as it tend to be overused soon. Where is South Korea and Taiwan?).

I do agree with the fact that the countries being visited are the same. Let's stop seing Japan I want South Korea and Taiwan and we need India it's been two long since the drama of India in Varanasi / Cochin doesn't count

Completely agree. If he wanted to find the love of his life, he should have turned to Events & Adventures Singles Club, a gay bar, or a vacation planned by his own hands. I guarantee he would be much happier going out on his own time than entrusting a TV program that has <1% of success finding a perfect partner (Mallory & Mark trainwreck comes to mind). It's his apathy about running the race that made me dislike him.

Title Quotes. I have not enjoyed a TAR title quote since "Your Tan Is Totally Cool" from TAR22 TBH.
Where are the classics like "Oh My God, The Teletubbies Go To War" (TAR11) and "Run Babushka Run" (TAR17)?
It seems like they don't even try these days :res:
-
I liked You're Taking My Tan Off from TAR 25. Nothing from 23 and 24... but wow, I actually like a lot from TAR 22: Business in the Front, Party in the Back, Your Tan is Totally Cool, Be Safe and Don't Hit a Cow, and My Cheese is Out of Control.
I agree though, these days, they try too hard to make the quotes as simplistic and relevant to the leg as possible without any humor.
-
"Part like the Red Sea" is pretty cool IMO. :res:
-
I at least think these newer ones are better than the ones in TAR4, because those were just way too long in general
-
I'm Surrounded by Ninjas :funny:
-
Does this quote almost the same as "Taste Like a Minion Dollars" in TAR17 where Nat & Kat perform the sheep head eating FF?
-
When editors don't even bother broadcasting the teams completing and getting their next clue after said tasks.

I just remembered something. :umn:
Remember back in the earlier seasons when the NELs were on the latter half of the season? I just hate those! :gaah: They're annoying. :groan: They eliminate the first 5 to 6 teams in a row, and then they have a final 5 NEL, final 4 NEL, and a final 3 NEL. :wall: :hammer :crazy: A final 3 NEL. :ahat:
I like TAR18's pre-determined elimination points. It's spread out in a way that the first half of the season had 2 non-elimination points, then they reserve the last NEL on the F6. :conf: :colors :trampb: It's not like the usual season's F5 or F4 where there's a 50-50 chance of guessing where the NEL is. :whoop: #SuspenseKiller
-
^ OMG I was always so annoyed by that watching older seasons!! They would ALWAYS have a F4 or F5 NEL, if not both. Like, it was always so predictable and not interesting at all, was it done to lower budget?.. Because that's the only logical reason I can think of and it's still pretty dumb. :umn:
Those F3 NELs (IIRC they had those 2 or 3 times) were just out of this world :furious: How can they expect the racers and viewers NOT to guess that? And what's the point, to have another (fake) finale leg? Sometimes these weren't even done in the US (TAR9), so the NEL was so obvious..
It's just so :tantrum

So I'm guessing TAR15 ticked you off. :iok

-
So I'm guessing TAR15 ticked you off. :iok
In a way... there was an F11 NEL though. :umn: I was only able to watch TAR15 a few years after it first aired, so since I had spoilers, I think there was a different feeling compared to watching TAR on time.
-
I rewatched TAR 22's finale. I gotta say, it was actually really good for the first half, until Bates & Anthony took a huge lead :'(
That leads me to say...
Please don't put a luck task on the final leg like that!
Also, Beacon of Hope as the TAR 22 finale title, really? I probably already said this but they need better title quotes! Cheers to a Great Race (said by Beth) was an excellent candidate
-
The lack of Fast Forwards...
IMO it should appear as regularly as W-Turns. This means that just like how W-Turns usually appear 2x per season, Fast Forwards should also appear 2x per season.
Also, old TAR (as in Seasons 5-13) always had 2 FF's per season.
-
Okay this annoys me:
When they give the last-place team sad music and a bunch of confessionals and all that on non-elimination legs (Bopper & Mark, Caroline & Jennifer, Matt & Ashley, etc...)
and then they give the last-place team a choppy/edited 30-second final speech and they're off the screen (Dennis & Isabelle, Libby & CJ) or they just don't treat it like anything - on elimination legs.

Jesus freak teams. Thankfully, they don't seem to win.

What were some good Jesus freak teams? I always liked Andy & Tommy, except for the one comment they made in Thailand II but other than that they were enjoyable.

From another religion, Bilal & Sa'eed from TAR10 were a vivacious team. I had so much betting on them to reach the final three in 2006. :'(

idk but Joanna Ward on Survivor was amazing
I don't remember Bilal & Sa'eed mentioning religion at all :lol:
-
Bilal & Sa'eed specifically said in their introduction that they would not hesitate to take five minutes on the side of the road to pray. They also informed Kellie & Jamie that they could not shake hands because of their religion. And I could be mistaken on this, but I think they mentioned that the "creator" has control over everything when they were eliminated.
But yes, I still stand that they deserve to be in an all-stars/returning cast season.

They were eliminated before the first Leg even finished (midpoint elimination twist) so I can understand why.

I have somehow lost interest in TAR... I have seen it from the first episode I saw which got me hooked, but S25, I stopped watching it, and I have seen nothing from S26... IDK, I feel something there is not fitting for me anymore, they need something fresh...
I would love to see more FFs, but more powers and even the Intersection so we can see, once again, more strategy and cooperation between teams. I feel that S4 and 5 were super nice, but I am not feeling hooked recently. Hopefully I watch some episodes this season and feel like watching it as in older seasons <3

I think what is going wrong in the "interest rates" is how there are not many moments to keep us asking NEW questions. It's almost always the same general thoughts now:
•Who will get Philiminated?
•Who will win the Leg/the race?
•Who will struggle the most in this task?
•Who will use the 2x U-Turn/who are the Double U-Turned?
•Will X&Y have another quarrel or will they be butter & bread?
In the pre-HD older seasons, we raised questions about various race and promotional moments that kept us engaged to see what will happen next. For example: season 14, along with the above wonders, had unique scenarios that hooked us for the next episode including original thrills like Swiss cheese hill and Austrian Folly.
•How far will Margie & Luke go in the race? (Pre-show promo)
•Does Linda find her way back to Steve in Leg 2?
•Can Tammy & Victor get out of the Romanian forest?
•Will Mark & Michael ever learn their lesson?
•How will Kisha & Jen and Margie & Luke treat each other after the body-check?
•Will the language barrier in the second half of Beijing mix the teams drastically?

This is the truth for me as well. I'm in the exact same boat. The finale of TAR 24 was still the most recent episode I have seen, and I haven't even bothered to try and watch TARs 19-21.
One of my many big pet peeves: Why is every U-turn now a DOUBLE U-turn? Wasn't a plain old U-turn good enough? I think two teams being U-turned at once is just too much.
And yes, the Fast Forwards should come back. I don't even have to watch the show these days to know they aren't doing them as much anymore.
-
I think TAR is killing the mood on "who won the leg?" and "who got eliminated?" sometimes. We should have this drama on every single episode, but sometimes they just kill it. Like Germany Leg 5. Aly & Steve was a obvious win and Bergen & Kurt was a obvious loss.
Make that edit better and most exciting!

When people don't learn how to drive a damn stick shift. Like, that's Amazing Race 101 :groan:
-
Another pet peeve that just popped into my mind: Why did TAR not reveal the full details and mechanics of the Save? :gaah:
-
UGH... I hate the usage of taxi in the freaking final leg especially when taxi was the deciding factor to win or get mid-leg eliminated.
-
Another pet peeve that just popped into my mind: Why did TAR not reveal the full details and mechanics of the Save? :gaah:
This times infinity. I get irritated when TAR leaves very vague descriptions of its twists and locations. :gaah: :didimiss:

re: self driving in the finale - with $1,000,000 a matter of hours/minutes away plus the stress of racing in an unfamiliar city with little food or sleep would you expect.teams to do silly things like follow traffic laws? Last year we were lucky that Brobbie just got hopelessly lost and that no one got into an accident of some sort.
Easiest answer is to provide drivers and maps and tell teams to figure it out.
Random pet peeve: teams narrating Route Infos instead of Phil - some teams absolutely butcher it and yet they're usually the ones in first at the time.

Recently, I realized that I find it annoying when a team wins 5 legs in a row. (e.g. Paul & Steve, Justin & Diana) It makes the team dominate and give less chances to others. I know it's a race and it's actually good for the team that they're winning so much, but it just ruins the season in such a way.
Another one I noticed recently is when a season has 4 to 5 elimination legs straight. The worst was in TAR12 when there were 6, it was unfair to the 6th place team for just having raced 6 legs. There might even be 7, but I can't remember, and I probably wouldn't have bothered back then, knowing that NELs are just common towards the end of the race. Back to my point on 4 to 5 straight eliminations, while recently watching TAR28 and TAR Aus 1, seeing 4 to 5 teams go home straight in a row makes the game feel like it's about to finish faster. Weirdly enough, I feel exhausted when so many teams get eliminated in a row, especially when I watch TAR Aus 1 as a marathon. :lol: I don't like many straight eliminations, or at least have more NELs early in the race.
-
Tasks with fake animals or fake other stuff. And when that happens, the editors always include a quote like "I thought it would be a real horse." Which shows that even the show is acnowledging how lame that it.
I could go on and on and rant about more, it's just that is my number 1 pet-peeve. I'll find time some day to unleash it all. I wish I could take over the show and make it better than it is today.
-
I have somehow lost interest in TAR... I have seen it from the first episode I saw which got me hooked, but S25, I stopped watching it, and I have seen nothing from S26... IDK, I feel something there is not fitting for me anymore, they need something fresh...
I would love to see more FFs, but more powers and even the Intersection so we can see, once again, more strategy and cooperation between teams. I feel that S4 and 5 were super nice, but I am not feeling hooked recently. Hopefully I watch some episodes this season and feel like watching it as in older seasons <3
If you haven't watched anything from 25 on, how would you know if there has been anything fresh or not?? :gaah:
You might be surprised and find something to like. :conf:
This season's route has been awesome, for instance.

When teams make any form of geographical blunder. If I was on the Race, I am not going to be nice to you.
Also, when teams are saved by multiple NELs. Each team should only be saved once.

IDK why but it feels so condescending to automatically hate a team just because they're a bit geographically challenged :res:

I don't hate the team, trust me I'm not as bad as some, many Brits have big stereotypes of Americans that they're dumb, ignorant, think America is the best place!
I know this is not true and I realise that the geography classes are terrible! :funny:

I'm sorry, but if I was on the show with a partner and I lost to a team who thought London was a country, my first thought would be, "I can't believe we lost to a bunch of idiots."

I did have a major pet peeve about a half-dozen seasons (or so) ago - the cast always had one beauty queen. Then the cast was a little more diversified. Less beauty queens made me happy.

Damn, I hate it when Phil is like "(team name here) is standing right behind me grabbing their next clue for a De-Tour", I mean just explain the De-Tour and go away, you don't need to whore yourself down out throats, we want to see the teams

Horrible leg designs. :res:

In fairness of leg design, the old seasons have really bad ones. But back then a bad leg does not equal a bad episode.
Now unfortunately, that's no longer the case. :(

But now we know it's not just that segment. The missing "You are team number ___" happened on tonight's episode with the 3rd and 4th place teams when there were five teams left, and Phil was quick tonight announcing the route and tasks. It's just scenes that show sidetrack conversations and sometimes unnecessary comments (AKA drawn out Pit Stop chatter). Editing used to be pretty fast paced and focused on the race.

They did sometimes, but never at the expense of Phil talking about the location. And when we did see it, it would be part of a storyline, like Reichert and Chip coming out to the remaining teams or Alex getting together with Tara
-
I hate it when hosts of other versions or Phil in some recent seasons say "You're the xth team to arrive" to announce placements instead of the tried and true "You're team number x!". At this point I'm Pavlovian conditioned to expect a "but..." when they do that and it just really throws me off.

This needs a bump, because when the live commentary was implemented (& placements started to rarely be called out), I started to dislike Phil as a host.
-
Phil has still been an awesome host and definitely my favorite of the big three. (Phil>>>>>>>Chenbot>>>>>>>J*ff Pr*bst).
The live commentary is forced but if that's what they make Phil do, then =/
The secret scenes still rock though, especially at the Pit Stop, it's still so much fun to see Phil throw out random quips and questions and talk with the teams!
-
Yeah, I don't care for the live commentary, either. Phil in recent seasons is becoming a lot more stiff and forced compared to how he used to be, and obviously production tells him what to say.
-

No lol? Jeff's apparent misogyny (come on, everytime a guy does well they air his comment saying X in the lead ready to win and then if a girl does well he goes "SHOCKER!!! WILL [INSERT MALE CONTESTANT FORMERLY IN LEAD] CATCH UP???") and blatant favoritism sucks.
But let's move on bc this is about TAR =P
To add something to the TAR conversation, I really dislike it when teams intentionally bicker with each other just to get airtime or try to be funny. Being natural is the way to go on the Race.

Like... Tim & Marie? I HATED them in the beginning of their Race because of their """""Bickering"""""
Phil would be like "Tim & Marie FOUGHT!"
Marie in the most forced way: "I didn't know they made people as dumb as you!"
But... who are you talking about? :lol:
My pet peeve would have to be boring/linear final legs. STOP putting that one "extreme" task in every final leg.

Seeing a landslide victory just like tonight. Compare that with Bates and Anthony in the final leg of TAR22.

Yeah I know! Sometimes they work like in S26 I thought the tasks were really cool! But look at Season 27's finale it was amazing! Was there an extreme task... No! (Unless you count the fireman roadblock)
-
Biggest pet peeve?
The lack of various kinds of teams. The show always has young and good looking teams on it now. There are no out of shape teams , older couple , funny teams anymore. It's mainly a show that now casts only young and good looking persons. Gone are the days where there would be all sorts of teams from different walks of life.
-
I HATE seeing the Head-Shaving FF!!!
Overused!
-
When contestants complain about where they're going or that they don't want to do the show anymore because of one hard challenge - a lot of people dream to be on the show (me included) and it just annoys me when some contestants (namely mactors) don't realize how lucky they are to be a part of it.
-
Case to case basis but I just dislike it when teams help other teams who are experiencing difficulties at challenges. This is a race for crying out loud. Wouldn't it be nice if there's a team that gets slowed down and eliminate them because of them having a hard time. You don't just help a team for the sake of helping not unless it is for your advantage.
-
Hmmm. If you are able to help a weaker team get ahead of a stronger team that could well be to your advantage. Who and when to help is a strategy...a valuable TAR tool.

U-Turn before a Detour :groan:
Truly the worst contribution of TAR27.

All these new twists(U-turn , Speed bump , salvage pass). I liked it better when there was just fast forward , roadblocks , and Detours.
The fast pace of the show in recent years is out of hand. Very little time to know the teams and are often left without knowing these people.
Having the starting line always in Southern California. California is a beautiful place , but couldn't you have a starting line elsewhere for a change?
The lack of interesting teams. Who ever casts these teams needs to be fired immediately. Every season , it's the same old schtick. Every team is around 30 years of age and is good looking. This is tiring after how many seasons of it. Time to bring back teams like a mother daughter team or old grandparent team. Enough with the younger good looking teams already.

1. I think it's better they have the start line in Southern California. Since they've made it clear that it will always start or finish in LA, I'd rather have it start in LA, because then we can use the entire final leg to see a new city.
2. Yes that they need more grandparent teams, but I wouldn't say there's been a lack of interesting teams. While there were no "grandparent teams", the casting for 29 was extremely diverse in personalities and characters, and so was 25. 28, while it was a gimmick season also did pretty well in diversifying the cast given the theme of the season. 27 and 26, I will agree mostly that they were very uninteresting. 24 was an All-Stars, but even though the choices for who to bring back were terrible, most of them were interesting and diverse. 23 only seemed to have a bad and uninteresting cast because all the interesting cast members, with the exception of one team (won't say who in case you or someone else hasn't seen it), got out early. 22 and 21 had great diverse casts. 20 was terrible. 19 was okay, but much better than 20. I would also say that this isn't a new thing, they've had terrible casted seasons since the beginning of the show. We can all agree that the casts for 4 and 6 were awful, and I'd even say that 1 had some of the most unmemorable teams. 13 was unmemorable, 14 was mean spirited, 15 had only like 2.5 teams worth rooting for, and 16 was meh. If anything, I'd say their casting is getting much better these days than it has been, they just need to throw in older teams again.

23 and 27 were a little less diverse just for the fact there were a bit more teams than usual from sporting organizations (Chester & Ephraim from NFL, Nicky & Kim representing MLB, Ally & Ashley from NHL, Tim & Marie from LFL) and media (Kelsey & Joey, Kelly & Shevonne, Justin, Logan & Chris). I'd say the best casts are the ones whose true personalities shine on the race like in season 10 when we knew nearly every nuance of almost all twelve teams despite how long they were in the running. It isn't necessarily that older teams aren't in the race, it's that teams now don't really give a lot of amusing substance to work with during editing like teams then used to. Not to mention airport and ticket agency drama was a common tradition in past seasons to build up these characters which the final product barely shows nowadays.
-
Not that I dislike that team, but the main problem really with Season 27 is that it was at a lot of times "The Justin & Diana Show". Way too much airtime on them.
So it's actually kind of appropriate that the new cover for the DVD/Blu Ray release of this season has Justin's legs hanging over the logo :P

I'm not so sure about grandparent teams as I always seem to think that they will be eliminated first. They also don't add much drama as they always nice people.
I'm curious to know who you think is the 2.5 teams worth rooting for in S15? I can think of at least 3 (poker players, Zev and Justin, Gary and Matt) - I'm assuming here that you not a fan of the GlobeTrotters.

I meant 3.5 lol. Globetrotters, Zev and Justin, Gary and Matt, and then Brian for having to put up with Erika screaming at him all the time. Didn't really like poker players honestly, the fact that they hid their profession and tried to say they worked for a charity rubbed me the wrong way.
