Most Annoying Teams

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"!

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.

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*

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.

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.
