TAR18: Zev Glassenberg & Justin Kanew (friends)
David:
I like them now way more than last time, I think. I'm really glad they and Gallory are getting good results! :D
Prophet:
Zev and Justin do seem to be more aggressive this time around than they were on TAR 15.

After reading both threads for episode 3 and this thread, I'm both surprised and disappointed that there's been no mention of what I consider to be an ostensibly racially offensive remark from, I believe, Zev.
After the scene of Kisha & Jen leaving the funeral home in episode 3, Zev & Justin had this exchange:
--- Quote ---Justin: "Look for the daiyuzan railway station, Zev. Might be some tiny little thing."
Zev (I believe): "Like their..."
Justin: "Zev."
Zev laughs
--- End quote ---
My immediate reaction was that Zev made a Japanese/Asian men have small penises remark that CBS censored, and, after re-watching it a dozen times, that's still my conclusion.
I'm extremely disappointed by Zev's remark because offensive comments like that are a deal-breaker for me.
The editing leads me to believe that Zev & Justin are the likely winners this season, and, after that comment, I really hope that's not the case. The only way I'll root for them now is if they make it to the end and there are even worse and more offensive teams left at the end.

I think all of that is speculation? Spec as to what was said, spec as to the intention, spec as to editing.
Since we did not hear the comment, I myself would hesitate to read too much into it.

I know, basing everything you think about a team on one speculated incidence is kind of silly.
