Topic: Most Annoying Teams

[kevin2012]

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.

I couldn't agree more, I guess I went a bit overboard with my usage of the word "hate" (by it I meant annoying) and I am really, truly sorry for that. I am a very sarcastic person, so the end sentence was fabricated out of sarcasm and is not what I truly believe in, I may have spent too much time on Survivor Sucks and I can see now that it's clearly rubbing off on me, so once again apologies. It's shocking because I told myself that I am the kind of person that sees the good in people, but I've always known that scums exist on this planet, the people who don't deserve the world. The world's a tough place. The Amazing Race is an incredible tool to show people's true colors, even as they try so hard to hide it behind nice-ness and fake morals.

I also realized that some of my comments may be taken as discriminative and looking back on it, you're right. It's shameful because of my own background, being Eurasian and a part of both sides of the world I should know better and I know I do, it's just my dislike of stuck-up, snooty people that got to me, and it got carried away. so once again, I apologize for this, however the teams that I mentioned being my least favorites are unfortunately my real opinion, but I swear it has nothing to do with their size, race, religion, politics, or sexual orientation. It's just on their likeability, morals and values, entertainment factor, and competency. As far as the lesson of Yin and Yang go, opposites can't exist without each other, so with all the hate in our hearts also comes with just as much love and that is the lesson here. 

note: I've modified my posts to make them more appropriate, unfortunately the damage is already done

Thank you kevin, nicely said.

I am very fortunate to have been able to meet and get to know many of our racers personally.

And what surprised and fascinated me what was that some of the people "we loved to hate" while they were racing are often the most delightful and charming people in real life. The race (pressure, starvation, sleep deprivation) does strange things to the nicest of people!

Agreed. For example, on TAR7, Ray was portrayed as being this uber evil, arrogant villain, but in real life, he was pretty much the only person in that season who got along with every team and was often trying to play the peacemaker. And I've also heard from people that have met him, that Terence of season 13 is not the jerk that he was made out to be on TV. And what Peach said is true, let's not forget that this is a TV show, and that editing does play a significant part in what we believe the contestants to be like.

Although I'm surprised that Nick & Vicki haven't been mentioned as an annoying team. I still like Vicki, but Nick could give Chad a run for his money in the douchebag department

I agree -- Vicki seemed just fine but Nick could definitely give Chad a run for his money in the douchebag department!

Word. And the worst part was that Vicki was a pretty good racer herself, but she was dragging around 150 pounds of dead weight

Nathan & Jennifer - Season 12
Annoying and "funny" in a weird way. I mean I enjoy watching them fight then calm again then fight again.

Kevin & Michael - Season 17
I have no problem with Michael, Kevin's constant complain about his father's age though is so annoying.
And what's funny it's his fault who did their elimination.

Lance and Keri TAR15 hands down...mostly Lance as Keri got a bad rap.

Meh...Keri was pretty invisible for me that season, as Lance got the bulk of the camera time

[walkingpneumonia]

Lance and Keri TAR15 hands down...mostly Lance as Keri got a bad rap.

Don't be so critical of poor Lance. 
Whatever happened to him anyways? When will we see him on Survivor?

Lance and Keri had a baby so he had to put his reality endeavors on hold. The word is he is gearing a Survivor run.....stay tuned

[Prophet]

Can't wait to see you on Survivor, Lion.

pardon me, but aren't you Lance? Also why do you say Keri got a bad rap? I think editing was pretty fair, it that it showed both of your team's bad sides.

[georgiapeach]

Congrats on the baby!!  What joy!! 
 
Survivor would be awesome..the first crossover from TAR! 
 
And remember editing y'all....TV can make you seem (or say) almost any way they want by the power of editing. Lance and Keri were by no means the award winners for most annoying team for me...

I didn't say they were the most annoying team, I just said they had a pretty equal edit, showing both party's bad sights. To me personally, I felt the annoying teams were Maria & Tiffany and San & Dan, and Meghan and Ericka annoying racers.

I agree that Ericka was an annoying racer, but I never felt that way about Megan on Ericka's season.  I always found Megan quite nice if a tad boring.

[Prophet]

I found Meghan interesting to watch. Ericka was somewhat annoying.

[GabyM]

That would be fun if Lance went on Survivor one day. Speaking strictly from an entertainment perspective, most of the Boston contestants on that show have been pretty fun to watch

[mswood]

BJ is one of the most annoying people I have ever met. Constantly screaming look at me look at me.... has a near psychotic need to constantly be the center of attention.

IMO, not funny, not cute, not entertaining.

Didn't you love this team at one point?

Well...I love everybody...

But that was puddin.

[mswood]

My list of annoying teams or Racers (I might still like these teams, many I do, but all are annoying to me at some point)

Season one: 

Frank (loud and pushy) so not who I am but I don't think he's a bad guy.
Kevin & Drew Very grating especially early, as I am not used to people talking to each other like this.  But got used to it.
Lenny & Karyn (mainly Karyn) - Who just rode poor Lenny.  Not fun watching these two break up.
Paul & Amie - Paul for always pulling the lets quit card, and Amie for always crying, seriously stop crying.
Kim & Leslie  - For being a real bitch in one of their two episodes.

Season Two
Wil - Cruel to other racers, cruel to his partner, and cruel to locals.   Ass.
Gary & Dave - occasionally Gary's humor got annoying

Season Three

Flo - When things are good I loved Flo, but this girl just couldn't handle the pressures of the race, and her breakdowns were terrible.
Teri & Ian - Ian could be abrasive to his wife, but I also think they absolutely love each other (I know a couple who are just like them).
Aaron & Arrianne - Just annoying.  They weren't viscous or evil, just annoying.
Jill  - (Not her), but the voice over about her brother and 9/11 just got very very old.

Season four

Russell & Cindy - Cindy get a clue, Russell learn empathy
Tian & Jaree - Boy these two fought all the damn time, well except the leg they got booted
Millie - Just a little at times, I loved that she had more hustle then Chuck.
Monica & Sheree - Not them but the repeated voice over of them, yes we know your married to football players

Season 5
Mirna - God how I hate how she comes across.  Charla on rare occasions annoyed ( I don't like how she would go behind desks and get right up to people (I hate that).
Alison & Donny (seriously they fought more in one episode then most any team in race history)
Marshall & Lance - Quitters, but also bitter and mean
Linda & Karen - Wait seriously I love love this team, but their voices at times could annoy me, but I do love, love this team.
Nicole - Got annoying at the end.
Colin & Christie - Colin for his arrogance, and Christie for letting him (as well as go ahead run them over)
Kim - Seriously do something!!!

Season 6
Jonathan & Victoria - Most hated team in race history (said to be very nice in real life) but on the tube hate, hate, hate them
Lori & Bolo - Loud and Pushy and threw guilt at each other like there was no tomorrow
Adam - Seriously Do you have a penis!  Grow a pair already!  Borrow Rebecca's....
Hayden - Boy loved her when times are good, hated her under pressure when she was SHRILLLLL
Kendra - Seriously your comments didn't make you look very nice

Season 7

Rob - Cocky up to a point was fun to watch, but often went past
Kelly - Seriously stop being a bitch, she would tear apart Ron.
Ray - Lightening up (again supposed to be a really nice guy)
Lynn & Alex - Found funny up to a point then found cruel.
Patrick - Ugghhh, get the hell over it
Gretchen - Sorry love the gal, but her voice......

Season 8

Weavers - (Minus Rolly) Bitter, mean spirited would have put my tv through a window if they won.
Paulos - Loud and screaming with little respect (even if they loved each other) again young son, Brian seemed the only calm one.
Rodgers - Dad, seriously Brock should have cold cocked you.
Schroaders - Only the boy didn't annoy me.
Godlewski - SHRILLLLL, and poor Christie SHUT UP!!!! and stop crying (and sisters be nicer to her so maybe she will).

Season Nine

TTOW - Seriously funny a bit, but I would kill them in real life
Eric & Jeremy (I Love this team and often found them funny) - But the early legs with women all the time, got old.  I think this is one of Phil's shirts cracks me up to this day.
Lake - Ugghhh
Monica - Seriously crying at the airport...The airport in Colorado...At least Flo made it to what her third leg?
John & Scott - Sorry way over the top gay, I just hate it.  And I like Dick as much as the next gay guy.
Lisa & Joni - (remind me of my mother and her friends) enough of the screaming just take it down a notch.
Duke - She's a lesbian not a serial killer, get the hell over it.
Peter - At times just seemed too laid back or swinging to coach mode, pick a happy medium.
Mary - Seriously when men talk and get physical like you do with Dave its considered an abusive relationship.  Be nicer, we know you love him.
Rob & Kimberly - Just take it down a notch (at least both dished it out).
Karlyn (I think) - Seriously bitter.
Tyler & James (love this team) but the constant voice over former Drug dealers - OK we get you cleaned up, stop it editors.

Season 11
Kevin & Drew - Never should have been cast, I keep waiting for the ambulance to show up.
Charla & Mirna - Mirna still evil as ever, and Charla even annoyed me more then usual.
Danielle - Never should have been cast

Season 12
Ari - Think god they're gone
Nathan & Jennifer - like so many fighting couples just take it down a notch. 
Kynt & Vyxsin - Way to over the top for my taste, and Kent grow a pair.
Ron - Seriously At least he improved over the season, but still what an ass.  Locals, racers, daughter, judges all are fair game.

Season 13
UGGHHH =- Really dislike many people, but didn't really care about that many teams either.
Terrence - Seriously
ANdrew & Dan - For being hopeless, utterly hopeless (and often funny, but so hopeless)

Season 14
Preston & Jennifer - One and out thank you.
Mark & Michael - Uggghhh
Kisha & Jen (About Luke who didn't start it)
Margie & Luke (For building upon it)
Jaime & Cara - For locals the world over

Season 15
Marcy - Voice and personality bothered me
Lance & Keri - Both annoyed me
Flight Time & Big Easy - Bothered me in this season (liked them in 18)
Erika - You married a saint, thats all I can say
Sam & Dan - Take the fighting down a notch, we know you love each other.

Season 16
Joe- Comments about himself he made and how he treats people
Jordon & Jeff - for being stupid (I call this the Dandrew rule), even if both teams are likeable
Carol & Brandy - Bitter, btter with no class
Brent & Caite - Yuck
Louie & Michael - Just rubbed me the wrong way
Jordan - For rarely going all out.  Its a race, run!!!! (I liked this team as well, but seriously run!!!)

Season 17 (really liked most of this cast)
Nick - for being an ass
Brook - For being a little too pushy, don't like it on guys don't like it on women.  Her voice was also a little shrill and that bothers me a little.

Season 18
Mel & Mike - Like All Stars was afraid the ambulance was going to have to save them on well almost every leg. Shouldn't have been cast.
Kent - An Ass this season and still hasn't grown a pair.

God I am getting senile.

[TheZanies]

Season 5

Kim - Seriously do something!!!

No doubt in my mind the producers changed the Roadblock rules because of her. She didn't do jack the whole season. Flo got a lot of grief for being a passenger/bystander her season but Kim did the same number of RB as Flo did - one. ONE!

As a side note, mswood loves the word seriously. Seriously 

[Prophet]

Seriously? He does?

TTOW - Seriously funny a bit, but I would kill them in real life

Maybe the best description of them.

[TheZanies]

Seriously? He does?

Let's seriously annoy him. Seriously
