Topic: Most Annoying Teams

[coolio]

I cannot STAND the Cowboys! Well, in my TAR community, EVERY single freakn' person LOVED the Cowboys, and hated the Goths.(During TAR 18) I am a rooter for underdogs, so naturally, I supported the Goths. Oh, how I laughed at them when the Cowboys were eliminated. And oh, how they laughed at me when the Goths were eliminated. *sigh*

Okay, I'm just done with the unofficial count:

#1 Most Hated: BJ & Tyler with 5.31 bazillion votes

a very distant #2 Jonathan of Jonathan & Victoria infamy with 121 votes

Please don't question my vote counting skills or my methodology; you can trust me, I work for Ernst & Young!

Those numbers look skewed

Jonathan and Victoria are a million times worse than the hippies or any other team for that matter.

They are completely psychotic, dysfunctional, and physically and verbally abusive to each other. They are all of the above to the point of being disturbing to watch. Even casting them for the season was a mistake. They were beyond the entertaining kind of trainwreck.

I totally agree!  Even in the first episode, I put my finger to my head as if I wanted to shoot myself when they appeared!

1-Didn't watch
2- Chris & Alex (arrogant frat boys), Tara & Wil (Wil-arrogant, Tara-at least wait until you're not on national TV to hook up with a guy you just met, and giving up when you're so close to winning-not cool), Gary & Dave (ugly Americans)
3- Flo (enough with the constant whining, and like I said about Tara, save the flirting for a time when you're not racing to win a million dollars), Ian (another ugly American), Aaron & Arianne (enough about the stupid twin hunt already), Heather & Eve (learn to drive stick if you know you're going to be on the show, and FYI, when a clue says "walk to the pit stop", that does not mean "take a cab and then walk to the mat")
4- Pretty much everyone except the clowns
5- Brandon & Nicole (I'm sure God has more important things to worry about than handing you a million dollars), Mirna (I know this is a race, but telling the ticket agent that other teams are crazy and/or criminals is going a little too far, and your Spanglish is terrible), Lance & Marshall (if you wanted to quit, then why the hell did you sign up in the first place)
6- Jonathan (get yourself to anger management classes ASAP, and your wife is not a dog, so quit yelling at her every 5 minutes), Lori (like I said to Jonathan, learn how to shut up once in a while, and don't try to cheat your way on a plane by pretending that your husband is handicapped), Adam (grow a pair already)
7- Lynn & Alex, Patrick (Disclaimer: I have nothing against gay people, but your obsession with getting rid of Romber got seriously old after the first 5 minutes of episode 1, and FYI Lynn, no matter how much you want to be funny, there are certain subjects you just don't touch, and joking about how someone's fiancee has an eating disorder is one of those), Ron & Kelly (Ron-I think we understood you were a POW the first five times you mentioned it, Kelly-For someone who claims to be a loving person, calling your boyfriend a hick and yelling at him when he couldn't do a task isn't exactly kind)
8-Weavers and Godlewskis (Enough with the waterworks and hysterical screaming-this is TAR, not All My Children), Paolo family (if I had spoken to one of my parents the way the Paolo boys spoke to theirs, I'd be unable to sit for a week)
9-BJ & Tyler (Ok...those jokes and catchphrases are not funny), Eric & Jeremy (if you want to hook up with girls, go to Cancun instead), Monica (another one that annoyed me with all the drama and tears)
10-Lyn & Karlyn (making rude comments about how it's unfair that Sarah got to board first because of her prosthetic leg is uncalled for), Peter (for being handicapped, Sarah definitely outraced you)
11-didn't watch

Gaby hates everyone. I thought I was bad, she's worse than me 

What can I say? Season 6 did give my mute button quite the workout, between Jonathan and Lori feeling the need to yell at their partners every 5 minutes and Adam and Hayden's constant need to whine and complain about almost everything

11-didn't watch

You gotta watch Season 11!! 

[GabyM]

11-didn't watch

You gotta watch Season 11!! 

I'll definitely check that one out then...even though two of the final three teams drive me crazy 

[apskip]

GabyM,

I too would love to see the AR11 finale run again. I am certain you mean Mirna and Charla for one team that drives you crazy (me too) and I will guess Eric and Danielle for the other. Better teams were eliminated through flukes (the Africa Hajj flight fiasco caught Ian/Teri and Joe/Bill) and improper assessment of risk left Uchenna/Joyce in Frankfurt airport where they never should have been in the first place. I think the AR11 finale should have been between Eric/Danielle (you can't take that away from them because they earned the right to be there), unquestionably Dustin/Kandice and some third team (but not Mirna/Charla). Eric/Danielle might still win, but I would love to have a do-over.

[dryedmangoez]

They should definitely have a do-over of the TARAS finale... with Charla & Mirna winning it!

Yes. I do mean Mirna & Charla and Eric & Danielle. And the worst part is that I might actually like Charla more than I do if she had teamed up with anyone but Mirna  Danielle I don't have too many opinions on, because she left too early on season 9 for me to form any judgments, but Eric and his frat boy attitude was really tiresome after a while. And I agree with your scenario on the redux of the AR11 finale, but of course, I'd swap Mirna & Charla for Oswald & Danny, so that would give me two teams I like and one team that I hope loses 

[kevin2012]

Season 1: Joe and Bill - (way to go, giving gays such a bad name)
Season 2: Tara and Wil - (god both are the whiniest, douchiest, people on earth)
Season 3: Derek and Drew - (annoying alpha male team who screwed up big)
Season 4: Reichen and Chip - (like Joe and Bill, they give gays a bad name)
Season 5: Marshall and Lance - (xenophobic and useless)
Season 6: Avi and Joe - (not a fan at all)
Season 7: Rob and Amber - (camera addiction anyone?)
Season 8: haven't watch it yet
Season 9: BJ and Tyler - (unfunny and immature)
Season 10: Lyn and Karlyn - (hypocritical ladies to the extreme)
Season 11: Eric and Danielle - (didn't deserve the return)
Season 12: Ari and Staella - (Their early elimination was godsent)
Season 13: Nick and Starr - (predictability is not fun)
Season 14: Amanda and Kris - (see Eric and Danielle)
Season 15: Flight Time and Big Easy - (see BJ and Tyler)
Season 16: Louie and Michael - (annoying)
Season 17: Chad and Stephanie - (Chad is the very definition of "Douchebag")
Season 18: Flight Time and Big Easy - (the only team on the list twice, I hate them)

*this is based on their race performances, NOT on their personal lives, I'm sure most of these people would be really great people*

[Prophet]

Apparently you have some strong feelings against certain teams

[Belle Book]

Odd.  A lot of the teams you hated I could stand -- or at least there were teams I liked less than them.  For example, I could stand Derek & Drew -- it was Flo from Flo & Zach and Ian from Teri & Ian that I couldn't stand.  Marshall & Lance were near the bottom for Season 5, but Colin was more annoying to me.  And how could you like Jonathan & Victoria more than Avi & Joe?  I wanted Jonathan & Victoria gone from Day 1!  I think the only teams we both really hated were Tara & Wil and Chad & Stephanie -- and yeah, Chad was the definition of "douchebag"!

Season 7: Rob and Amber - (camera addiction anyone?)

Got that one right on the money. I'm sure that Rob's a great person when he's not trying to win a million dollars. That being said, I've seen plenty of seasons of TAR, Survivor, BB, and AI, and I have yet to see anyone who enjoys playing up to the cameras as much as he does

I guess we just have different tastes, as for Jonathan and Victoria, yes they were annoying, but they were entertaining as all hell and I usually like teams for that. Avi and Joe were not really likeable, nor were they entertaining, they just don't belong on the race and that's why I don't like them. It's the same thing for Charla and Mirna, annoying at times, but provide some really great moments ("can you stick your hand in the cow's ass?"). Marshall and Lance were both extremely unlikeable and they're whininess was not entertaining, you get the point. I do care about whether teams are good people with a heart, but unfortunately I need to be entertained and I like competent teams.

[kevin2012]

here are my second least favorite team in each season:

season 1: Paul and Amie (it's Paul's constant quitting attitude and anger issues that really annoy me)
season 2: Hope and Norm (pretty bland)
season 3: Andre and Damon (for a cop and a fireman, they're pretty dependent on other people)
season 4: Steve and Josh (for a father/son team, they were as endearing as an ingrown toenail)
season 5: Alison and Donny (see Ari and Staella on the first list)
season 6: Freddy and Kendra (GASP! no Jonathan and Victoria?! Kendra's attitude in Africa was sickening)
season 7: Ray and Deana (Deana's whininess was bad, but Ray's belittlement of other teams was worse)
season 8: still haven't watched it
season 9: Eric and Jeremy (terrible examples for children)
season 10: Tom and Terry (meh)
season 11: Rob and Amber (still addicted to cameras)
season 12: Lorena and Jason (Lorena's behavior with the camel was ridiculous)
season 13: Aja and Ty (can't remember anything about them at all)
season 14: Brad and Victoria (for an old team, not at all endearing)
season 15: Lance and Keri (Lance is a close second behind Chad for the "douchebag" title)
season 16: Dana and Adrian (yeah! let the bigger one do the wire crossing! genius!)
season 17: Ron and Tony (incompetent, what a shame)
season 18: Amanda and Kris (their only highlight was causing their own elimination)
 
*this is based on their race performances, NOT on their personal lives, I'm sure most of these people would be really great people*

[kevin2012]

it's a little exaggerated

[Belle Book]

Freddy & Kendra were the team I hated most after Jonathan & Victoria in Season 6 as well.  And I hated Alison & Donny in their season as well!  In fact, I'm not sure if I hate them more or Colin & Christie -- perhaps the main reason why I found Colin more annoying was because he lasted longer.  And Christie was all right.  I guess I'd put Alison & Donny first and Marshall & Lance second among teams I hated in Season 5.

[georgiapeach]

But it's all not a big deal, as long as we all have a healthy dose of hate in our hearts.

Hate is a VERY strong word....  especially when we all know that editing is a powerful tool to sometimes portray only one side of a person during the race.
 

Y'all are welcome to share your opinions of why teams are annoying (note ANNOYING ...not hateful) based on how they were portrayed in the race itself.

But making discriminatory comments about racers because of their size, race, religion, politics, or sexual orientation will NOT be tolerated here.

Fair warning...any more of that and this thread is history.
