In fact really none of the teams are terrible people.  BQ are just driven to the point of not caring about anything else, and its not the first time we ahve seen that type of team.

Rob & Kim are amoung a long line of argueing couples ont he race, and really they are so much nicer then many of the other argueing couples on the race.

Really Lyn & Karlyn as team are one of the most neegative overall (at least with the footage seen they might be great ladies, and we do see them at times being nice and having a good time, but it is so infrequent.  But I would certainly take this team over the abusive, annoying and seemingly intitled Jonathan & Victoria.

Teams that don't fight amoung themselves, teams that don'y fight or insult locals, teams that respect countries and customs, teams that play fair, and teams that aren't confrontational with other teams.

I have to agree that when a team becomes too good, it is bound to lose. The Chos and David and Mary were not smart enough to realize that they were in a competition. However, I do think that teams need to have a balance between competitiveness and friendliness. Why not be a competitive racer and be friendly at the same time? There is no need to be cruel and scheming. But then again, what will this race be without the Jonathans and the Victorias, the Colins and the Christies, and the Robs and the Ambers. They make the show more fun. Without them, the show may end up a big bore.

But then again, we don't root for them. We root for those who display tenacity without the fangs and the will to win without the horns, and the unwavering spirit. That is perhaps the reason why I am rooting for James and Tyler. They are not the perfect racers, but they are not obnoxious. This is also what I liked about Chip and Kim, Reichen and Chip, Rob and Brennan, and Joyce and Uchenna. They are all winners!

While I have liked some of the all female teams, I often haven't becasue of either behavior or ability.

But a better racing team, but one that was vocally more angry and viscious (though mainly with each other) Tian & Jaree.  And Mirna I think was meaner then Bama.

I hated how they treated each otehr, in fact I think teams wise they are one of the worst offenders for rude behavior within a team.

But I would of course rather have Emily & Nancy, Mary & Peach, Monica & Sharee, Linda & Karin, Lena & Christy, ect,ect, ect.

And at least Mirna and Charla were very competitive in their season.

Well in fairness to Colin, most of his negativity was directed at 3 things a cab, an ox and a bitch.

When you rewatch season 5 he isn't shown being the one to fly off the handle first, thats Mirna miss entitlement herself.  And thats really the only team for the bulk of the race that Colin doesn't like.  And as far as Colin's anger to Chip an Kim, I have no problem with it.  IT wasn't underhanded, he wasn't scheming.  He was just mad and hurt.

I actually think Chip & Kim had as many bad moments with the other teams as Colin & Christie had.

Both Reichen & Chip and Chip & Kim have had far more moments of poor behavior towards other teams then what Tyler & James ahve had, or even Rob & Kimberly.
