Oops I didn't see this so I started a thread in the movies and tv part of the forum.

I love Oswald and Danny. Always have.

Don't like Teri and Ian, never have.

I hope the blondes prove themselves this time, they were so picked on last time.

I am rooting for the Beauty Queens too. I just really liked them. I kinda liked Dave and Mary too. I think it's the underdog thing. I won't spoil it for anybody, but it was a good start for the season. Looks like competition is huge right out of the gates!

Yeah, much more competitive when the teams know what they're in for.

I've watched from half way through season 2, skipped most of the family edition though and for some reason only watched 9 off and on.

Yeah, the family edition wasn't the greatest they did. The last coupleo f seasons I've had a hard time picking a favorite too. But this season looks promising...

I remember Danielle from Eric and Danielle, but I don't remember him. I don't remember the winners from season 9 either.

I liked the Cho Brothers last season. They were good eye candy.

I liked them too. Let's soo, who won... umm.... ummmmm.... (doing google search now) Riiight, the male models, Tyler and James. I think it's time for an all girl team to win it.

Wikipedia said it was The Hippies that won season 9.... Tyler and James won last season, I think.... beginning to lose track. This is season 11 already. I'm trying my hardest to figure out why I didn't watch season 9, yet I remember "the pink ladies".

I really don't remember these two winning.

It's sad that we devote however many hours a season watching and can't remember who won... hehe I'm the same way. Like with Survivor. I watch avidly every season, but only a handful standout. I guess I hang in there hoping it will be one of those standout seasons...

Yup, for sure.

There are teams that stand out though, even if they didn't win, like with me Cha Cha Cha was a biggy, I was at my mom's when it started tonight and I didn't know that Oswald and Danny were back, I literally cheered when I saw them, I luff them sooooo much.

I was just looking at pics from past epsiodes, and Joyce looks so much better with the short hair. Looks like she's keeping it short after having to shave it for the Fast Forward that time.

I don't remember the hippies winning either. I liked them though. Uchenna and Joyce are some of my favs. I don't remember much about Donny and Oswald either. I'm surprised they let past winners play again though. I'm kind of disappointed by that actually.

I remember the hippies winning. It was karma all the way for them.

From tonight, the last 4 teams need to go! How sloppy and pathetic can you get? David and Mary? The two who were faking accents to get understood better? The bald guys? Come on! By the 5th leg, it should get interesting.

When I found out it was an all star thingy, I was so hoping that Bolo would be back. I don't remember what season he was on, but they rocked! (Remember, they were a pro wrestling couple?)

Oh and I agree Brandy. It would suck if a past winner won again.

Yeah, love the amazing race. Not sure who I'm gonna cheer for yet but wasn't sad about the couple who got voted out tonight (don't really even remember them ).

I remember them. They were DULL the first time around- pretty much like tonight. Very blah. Don't know why they were chosen for the all stars.

Rob (of Rob and Amber fame) is diabolical, he never shuts up about winning (and of course denigrating the others) and has no interest at all in the experience itself, he could be in Pittsburgh for all he cares, it's all about the money. I'd like to see him get a major comeuppance.
That's why I like the black couple, they manage to be competitive without being a*******s.

Damm I missed it. I so wanted to watch it. I didn't know Uchenna & Joyce are in it. I loved them. I have got to watch it next week.

It plays again on OLN some time... (Sorry I don't know when )

I like the old couple. They're smart.

And Rob and Amber actually did something nice for somebody.

I remember Bolo....I liked them too. I still think Rob and Amber play smart and I like them for that. They already got lots of money though so I'd sooner see Joyce and Uchenna win or the old couple. They did pretty good for their age last time coming in second.

Yeah, but J and U have their problems that they need the money for, in vitro is not cheap. Rob and Amber definitely don't need the money. I would love to see Cha Cha Cha win, I remember them from the first time round being so sweet and easy going.

Prin, they were worse than that couple from last season. Remember the guy that said "I'm tired of talking to foreigners" referring to the Chinese taxi driver while in China! I think his name was Rob. Teri and Ian just yelled at each other constantly and yelled at everyone else, he has no patience. Who knows, maybe they'll be better this time around, they did, after all admit that they were like that.

Yeah, but so do Romber, not from Amazing Race, but she won Survivor, they had their wedding televised and paid for, etc.

My biggest issue with Amazing Race is that I don't like teams that are rude to people in their own country, (i.e. if you visit another country, you should respect their culture). Hence I already know teams I like and teams I don't like just by that fact alone. I like Cha Cha Cha, I like Kentucky, I like Romber, I like U and J, and I like the blondes. Basically, so far there is only one team I don't like. I don't know the bald guys, and I don't know the other two guys (Team Guido) so I can't judge them yet. But, basically, that's the thing I've always based like or dislike of a team on, that and how they treat their partner.
