The Race is on! If you need to know more about the teams, check out this preview I put together: http://loriandsharonrealitybites.blogspot.com/2013/01/amazing-race-season-22-cast.html
Here are the hi-lights from the introductions:
Chuck & Wynona aka Team Alabama: hair=power, he doesn't know what a mullet is, loves taxidermy
Bates & Anthony aka Team Hockey Guys: physically fit and super good looking (their words)
Mona & Beth aka Team Roller Derby: stereotypical soccer moms who roller derby
Max & Katie Team Newlyweds: newlyweds married for 3 weeks-this is their honeymoon; watch out she's a bulldog
David & Connor aka Team Father/Son: father/son, both cancer survivors, best friends
Jessica & John: dating 4 years-she wants marriage, he doesn't want to rush things
Idries & Jamil aka Team Brotherhood: twin OB/GYNs; who's the leader and who's the follower?
Pamela & Winne: tough girls who don't look like tough girls...single and not looking for love
Joey & Meghan aka Team YouTube: YouTubers-think they are cute but also competitive; named themselves "Team Cute"
Matt & Daniel aka Team Firefighters: Best friend firefighters who've been friends since they were 5
Caroline & Jennifer aka Team Country Singers: country singers in Stealing Angels and looking for husbands
There were 2 flights to Bora Bora--only 5 teams can take flight #1. Team Alabama is first in line.
The first 5 teams form a "fight club" alliance. Whoever wins the Express Pass needs to give a 2nd Express Pass to the team who comes in 2nd. It's like Fight Club because you don't talk about it to anyone else and you don't tell anyone you're in it. Alabama, Brotherhood, Father/Son, Jessica & John and Pamela & Winnie.
Road Block #1: Skydive
Road Block #2: Searching through sandcastles
Knock over sandcastles looking for clues. Any that are destroyed must be rebuilt.The partner that didn't do the first one had to do this one.
Team Alabama misses the bucket with clues. Once there, Wynona seemed in no hurry, and complained the whole time. Idries also was in no hurry. He was quite hot, and just did a lot of complaining. The other teams from the 2nd flight started catch up. Joey had way too much fun...complete opposite of Wynona and Idries. Team after team comes and finds their clues before Idries and Wynona. They could be there all day.
The last 3 teams can't find a clue, so they all decide to take a penalty because they all think they can canoe faster and win on a foot race: Firefighters, Country Singers, and Newlyweds
Firefighters ended up being kind of embarrassed by 2 blonde girls, as they got out-canoed. When agreeing to take the penalty, they thought for sure they could beat the other 2, but unfortunately, they struggled in the canoe.
Pitstop #1
#1: Jessica & John--winners of 2 Express Passes*

*Dave & Connor came in 2nd from their "first flight club" and are expecting to receive the Express Pass, but Jessica & John don't sound too sure if they are going to stick to their agreement...this could get interesting.
