That's what I said. Just because a team is competitive or confident, doesn't mean they're automatically deemed arrogant, or cocky. There's plenty of teams that were competitive, that are far from over confident. But Gino & Jesse definitely were.
The reason Male teams are getting so much hate is simply because they're all the same... BORING. And they more than likely always get to the Final 2 / 3 Legs of the Race, which people sometimes consider a wasted spot for a much more entertaining team, even if they're not as competitive. I'd much rather watch a train wreck, underdog team make it to the Final then an overconfident, generic, boring team. E.g. Eric & Jeremy, James & Tyler, Gino & Jesse, Tyler & Nathan, Daniel & Ryan, Derek & Drew, Chris & Alex. Etc.
The only reason those last 2 teams were even memorable were due to having a "Romance" with an opposing team member. In this case Flo and Tara.
Tanner & Josh are also potentials to be in this category. I'm just hoping they surprise me and are great to watch.
But there are still some Male teams that have the generic, alpha male look, that were great to watch. Teams like Joey Fitness & Danny, Jet & Dave, even Sam & Dan to an extent.
At the end of the day, I'm aware this is a Race, and confidence in yourself, and team-mate is key. They just don't have to be boring, and come across arrogant, and douchy in the process.

I just don't think they came across as any of those things but each to their own

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. :tup: Now in homage to Gino & Jesse, lets hug it out. :ghug:
