1. The ridiculously disrespectful comment at the thailand temple
2. The constant winning, which was infuriatingly annoying. They couldn't even give up one win to Ernie and Cindy (leg 7) who had the courtesy of not uturning them.
3. The religious preaching, it's never (and I mean never) enjoyable

I seriously don't get this one. Any given team would want to win every single leg, so when one team managed to do this, why hate on them? It's a competition. They're in it to win it. Same with the not giving up that one win to another team, why should they? If they knew they're going to win the $1 million, maybe, just maybe, they would be generous with some of the legs' 1st place, but since nobody has that hindsight, then tough. They're probably happy now they "hoarded" all those 1st places, because they didn't win the ultimate prize.

yeah, I see what you mean, you're right about that. I really liked Andy and Tommy, but I guess it's my fault if they're constant winning and religion preaching bothered me. Let's forget about it. I mean, they were a thoroughly enjoyable team. Along Ernie and Cindy

I might throw the 3rd leg though, to avoid the "third-leg curse"

Why does this bother you so much? You're disrespecting their religion by attacking it so much.

I think the reason why it bothered Kevin so much is because it might have reminded Kevin of the Weaver Family, a team that did a lot of religious preaching and came off as being disrespectful of any religion other than Christianity (or at least, that's how I see it). Let's face it, I wouldn't like it if a Buddhist came from Thailand and made some disrespectful comment on my church.
But I wasn't mad at Andy & Tommy for beating Ernie & Cindy, though I wasn't happy with it either.
