My first impressions of the 11 teams:
Trey & Lexi-dating
They are super cute! I like that they are open about not wanting to live together before getting married.
Natalie & Nadiya-twins
I just hate when you can't tell people apart! They look like they could be tough girls.
James & Abba-friends
Those dudes are really creepy with that long hair. Yikes! Grow up and get a hair cut!
Josh & Brent-life partners/goat farmers
Such an unexpected story for these guys. Definitely not your typical gays. The goats are cute!
Amy & Daniel-dating
Amy is a double amputee who is also a snowboarder. She is amazing, what a story.
Caitlin & Brittany-best friends
They are the typical "pretty" team of friends who also look like they could be sisters or even twins. They talk tough, let's see if they race tough.
Rob & Sheila-engaged
Pretty boring and forgettable, not much to say about them.
Gary & Will-friends/substitute teachers
They look like an unlikely pair of friends. Will is a very strange little dude. Next to Gary, Will looks like he would be shorter than 5'1".
Abbie & Ryan-dating divorcees
Very competitive couple. They're also cute together.
Jaymes & James-Chippendales dancers
I don't think there's ever been a team with the same names. They are cute, snd cute accents! Go team Jaymes (James)!
Rob & Kelly-married monster truckers
Very interesting couple.
Aaaaand, they're off!
New twist, if the couple who wins the 1st leg, and also wins the final leg, they can win $2 million!
First destination: Shanghai, China
Just a note: I'm only going to use initials when referring to the teams, just because it's easier to type :)
ROADBLOCK: score a point against a child Chinese table tennis champ.
First team to succeed was AR, which was surprising because NN said they grew up playing table tennis. As Natalie continues to fail, it gets more and more embarassing as the child switches out the paddle for a clipboard, frying pan and a tambourine.
Trey rocked it and got it on the first try. Nice!
ROADBLOCK #2: eat frog fallopian tubes, a Chinese delicacy. Twist: whoever did not complete the first Roadblock, must complete this one.
Wow, it looked absolutely disgusting looking. Jaymes (of team JJ) was a beast on that task! Amy was very good as well.
Oops, RK didn't read the whole clue...you can't use your hands. Guess who has to eat a double helping of fallopian tubes? Bummer.
Abbie & Ryan reach the mat first! If they win the final leg, they will win $2 million. Amy & Daniel were a very close 2nd. Unfortunately, the kind-hearted AD, told AR where the clue was and it ended up costing them.
The standings at Pitstop #1:
1. Abbie & Ryan
2. Amy & Daniel
3. Caitlin & Brittany
4. Natalie & Nadiya
5. Rob & Kelly
6. James & Abba
7. Josh & Brent
8. Gary & Will
9. Trey & Lexi
10. Jaymes & James
11.-Eliminated: Rob & Sheila
JJ scared me when they were having trouble finding the woman using an abacus. They were close, but kept getting further and further away. GW lied to JJ about not finding the clue. Luckily TL told them where it was. JJ actually found the clue last, but out-legged RS by a nose!
I don't know that there has ever been a closer first leg. Too bad for Rob & Sheila, they seemed like a nice couple. Unlike Gary & Will, who are already on my annoying list, with Josh & Brent in a close 2nd.
