Ep 1 East Coast SHOW updates and commentary **please read the rules**

There are also some clues in this season's opening credits. Cheetahs, anyone?
I was surprised that the outbound flight arrangement from LAX apparently had everyone on the same flight to Buenos Aires, and then separated the teams for the connecting flight to Salta. That was different and I don't recall ever seeing that done with the opening flight before. They had a very quick clip in there that showed that teams arrived in Buenos Aires at night, and no hint of the Miami connection; but it certainly is clear that the first leg took just about 48 hours to complete.
A team took almost two hours to find the one clue envelope that was left? Turned out to be the last team to check in, so a bit of karma right off.
I was surprised how little screen time Elliot and Andrew had in this episode; in fact we didn't see them from the time they got to the roadblock clue until they were at the winery for the empanadas task. I'm assuming Elliot and Andrew are not much for drama.
Very little movement between the two groups once the teams arrived in Salta; so I suspect the check in times are likely broken into two groups as well.
Loved the twist with the roadblock task; that was a sure fire way to have the gals end up skydiving and not the guys. The detail in the empanadas task shows that it has become very important to pay close attention to what goes on in instructions and examples in tasks these days. (This has been true ever since the "donate all your cash" task a couple of seasons ago.)
All in all a very good first episode. And I was surprised we got a "season" preview and not a second leg preview, even though CBS has already confirmed in its listings where the second leg takes place.

If I recall correctly, Phil had a hat on in one of the UAE legs a few seasons ago at the mat (maybe the leg Canaan and Mika were eliminated?), and possibly a couple of other times, but that's the one time I can visualize easily.

Seriously. Joey "Fitness" :lol:
YEA. RIGHT. So much so for surviving based on the sheer mistake of another team. I don't really like Misa and Maiya but dang, going out like that was heart-wrenching to watch. Especially by the team whom I hated most out of the lot. :res:
The clowns are hilarious and so much fun to watch! Kerri and Stacey <3 moment. Dave and Rachel are such a sweet team, same with Vanessa and Ralph... but Brendon and Rachel is just ewww. So glad Dave and Rachel beat them to the EP. I guess you can't have the best of both world.
I like the twins, the federal agents.. Mark and Bopper can get a tad bit annoying... and Art and JJ are just ewww. Just freaking stop WHINING.
As for the task, SKYDIVING <3 & WITH HD. DOUBLE <3.
The food making task was random and honestly, I thought the lady was biased... Joey and Danny's dumplings looks like sh*t and she gave them a PASS? I wouldn't eat ANY of those they made.
I guess Misa and Maiya were fated to go.. and to have such an exciting first leg... I am looking forward to the entire SEASON!
But... I already dislike some teams already -_-
choroneko:
Why it has to be them the first to go? :'( They are very visually appealing. I wish we saw more personality from them.
Dang it, I wish this season has elimination station. Or does it?

Of Course Brendon & Rachel are my favorites the teams.I also seem to like the teams that are closest to them like Bopper who was at premier party with Brenchel last night & said they were the best heartest ppl he has ever met which makes me like him even more. I love the clowns who are also close to them dont like the wicked witch Rachel i think she's jealous of The Red Queen aka Shamrock Rachel.Also dont like Vanessa another woman whose jealous of Rachel.Im hoping the clowns and the KY friends make it far in the game along with Team Brenchel.
