Nothing gives me more pleasure then telling everyone about the upcoming Amazing Race gang. It's been a few short months since the wild and crazy Hippies won season 9, but it's already time for season 10!!! It premiers at the new and improved time, Sunday at 8pm September 17th. The first episode is 90 minutes, but after that, it'll be a perfect night. Too bad Grey's moved to Thursday, oh and Desperate Housewives sucks. Here's a look at the new teams!! Eeek, I'm so excited!
Our first team is Vipul and Arti. They're best friends and the first Indian-American team to run The Race. That in itself makes me want to root for them. They both speak several languages, one of which I'm sure will come in handy, but will they make it that far? I'm not sure, she'll probably push him around way too much and he'll get all bent out of shape because of her dainty "I can't do that" attitude. I don't know what tells me that, but I feel it in my bones.
Tyler and James. Did I call this one or what? They're going to be the flirty "frat boy" types. I hate them already. Although in their little profile on the website it says they went through "rehab". Oh, bad boys, maybe I do like them. Not a fan of the long spiky hair though. I can see them making it just because of their speed, most young, guy best friend teams make it far.
Yay! A gay couple. I love it. Tom and Terry. Of course this means that one of them is queeny and will be yelling at the other one because they can't run or something stupid like that. Let's hope they break the stereotype and not be afraid of bugs and be really athletic. Yeah.
Peter and Sarah are just friends. I was going to make fun of her for how short she is, then I read that she has an artificial leg. It's not fun to make fun of people with one leg. Okay, that's not true, it is fun to make fun of them. But I won't. Out loud. These two are both Iron Man competitors which, as we know, will only take you so far. Just because they run Iron Mans, Man's, Men, whatever, doesn't mean they'll be great with foreign countries.
Bilal and Sa'eed are what I believe, the first Islamic team. Of course, their little bio doesn't say that. This is odd since it said it with the first Indian-American team. The producers are racist. Why not bring it up about this team. I have to admit though, I don't have the greatest prediction for this team. One of them is "quiet and passive" which in no way is good for The Race.
I'm concerned for Rob and Kimberly's relationship. Although it was rocky, they decided to move in together. Now they're using The Race to see if that was a good decision. Let's think about that. No. It's not. I can't trust anyone with hair like that anyway. (his)
Speaking of hair. Wow. This couple met while they were both working at McDonald's. I. Am. Not. Making. This. Up. They're married with kids and although David's traveled because of the Army, she hasn't been anywhere. At least nowhere exciting. I'm holding out hope they're not like Lake and Michelle from last season, him ordering her around and being a d*ck, but alas, I'm thinking that may be their fate.
Lyn and Karlyn are best friends since childhood. They don't have extensive traveling between them, so I'm sure they'll have some culture shock and will most likely be eliminated quickly. I have hope they may be like the NFL wives from a few seasons back, who were awesome, but I say they'll be gone by the 3rd pit stop. Wait, first.
Believe it or not, Duke and Lauren are father and daughter. She's gay. No really, she's gay. In fact, when Duke first found out about it, they were estranged for a few years. With a name like Duke, are you actually surprised at that? I bet he's not going to be complaining about her being a lesbian as she climbs the wall and wins them a million bucks.
Cheerleaders Kellie and Jamie. I hate cheerleaders. Especially when they believe that their cheerleading experience will help them win a race around the world. Sure, their peppy attitude will probably help, but most likely it'll backfire. I can see them now, wondering if Grant's buried in Grant's tomb.
I love the diversity of this season's cast. Erwin and Goodwin are brothers. Hot Asian brothers. I like them already. Erwin is Harvard-educated and both have extensive traveling. This is the team to beat people, mark my words. The only thing that could possibly happen is they could get over confident and screw something really simple up. Like getting on the right plane, or taking the right path. This is the team I'll be rooting for until they say something that makes me think they're a**holes.
My eyes hurt. Their hair is
WAY too blonde. Oh, and they're Miss America pageant contestants. I hate them too. I'm sure them and Tyler and James will have a connection. Oh, and if there's a competition that involves balancing books on their head and the swimsuit competition, I'm sure they'll do great. I hope they bring plenty of Vaseline for those super bright smiles.
