I was really annoyed with Nicole and Victor looking shocked she HAD to do the second Roadblock. Her victim attitude, needing a man to always save her makes me crazy!
And really makes me wish we had a Jen and Kristi back on this season. Strong women who don’t bitch and moan to get people to feel sorry for them.

This probably isn't the right place to put this, but regarding the second part, Jen said on Justin Scheman's Racers Recap thing that nobody from S30 got contacted for S31, so there's that. They could also be holding teams for a full all-stars season.
Musicon:
The Survivor cast in this really is meh, was really hoping Rupert and wife would get eliminated. Art and JJ were villains but they brought the drama in the first Amazing Race I watched live and the last really classic one for me. Would have been interesting seeing them v Rachel again. And penalty eliminations aren't really the best. The 'mountain' just needed some patience and figuring out anyway. Otherwise Japan is a great first location, the girl doing the does task really found it funny.
This show has been off TV for so long I wonder if that will affect the ratings.

There are much more interesting people on Survivor than what they picked here.
I think there was another youtube team I liked more (maybe even a couple, one way back who had a memorable NEL and another in more recent years). But the Amazing Race team I'm really disappointed to see back are Becca and Floyd, just too over the top and annoying (mainly her really).
NMC:
Note - The following is coming from someone who knows NOTHING about the Survivor & Big Brother teams. :funny:
I'll start of with what I didn't miss:
- The scattering of the team introductions. I've never liked this from the first time they did, and I dislike it more with every season they do it.
- Phil STILL not announcing all teams placements. I know we haven't had it for some time but it still really bugs me. And for some reason it really erked me that editing left out Phil saying "You're the last team to arrive" to Art & JJ.
As for the episode, I'm in the same boat as most here, the tasks were awful and the leg design was shocking bad.
I'm definitely in the minority too because I was a huge Art & JJ fan first time around. I was sold on them the second they gave Bopper & Mark their prize for winning Leg 4. So was sad to see them go, although Rupert & Laura were my pre race newbie faves so can't be too upset about it.
I'll give this episode the benefit of the doubt though as it is the premiere and most premieres will never reach the pinnacle of Season 18's first Leg - The Leg 1 which set the bar for what a 45 minute Leg 1 should be.

Well, it's my first time seeing these people from Survivor and am enjoying them. I really liked Rupert, Corinne, and Eliza. Do you think I should watch their seasons, so I know where they came from?
