My criteria: teams I personally like, but also teams I think should be competitive as well (I won't pick Arthur & Anita just because I like them, they have no shot of going far). Oh and I'm not gonna lie, I love me some eye candy so bite me
1. Dustin & Kandice (10). Yeah, I know, it would be their 3rd go around but see above, bite me.
2. Colin & Christie (5). I have no love for Colin, he's way too intense for my taste but no one can deny he's a very good racer. Christie had a kid, curious to see whether she can keep up with Colin like she did in season 5 for the most part.
3. Nat & Kat (17). Because we need awesomeness, plain and simple.
4. Danny & Oswald (2). Fun guys, without the "wrong" kinda drama like Mirna & Charla.
5. Ken & Gerard (3). See above.
6. The Clowns (4). See above.
7. Jon & Kelly (4). Not everyone's cuppa, but I really enjoyed watching them race. They can be mean to other teams but hey we have to have some entertainment and they don't cross the line, as far as I am concerned.
8. Lena & Kristy (6). They were so unlucky their first time, I think they deserve another go.
9. Megan & Cheyne (15). I don't particularly like them but Megan could be one of the strongest female racers ever on the show. The competition was largely weak sauce their season so they dominated, I want to see how they'll fare against better teams.
10. Linda & Karen (5). I have a feeling they'll go the way of the dodo early on, I picked them because I don't want to be accused of picking only FF eye candy
11. Joseph & Monica (9). Monica is hot, her crying can be annoying but she's hot. I also like the dynamics between the 2.
12. If we have to have one parent/son or daughter team, Gary & Mallory (17), I guess. I'm completely neutral about this team, I like Gary but Mallory's over-perkiness can be annoying as hell.
No villains to speak of. I'm probably in the minority, I don't need some cooked up drama or loud fools to keep watching. There should be plenty of entertainment with KG, the Clowns and the Cha Cha Boys.
