It's early but it appears the Kentucky team is the real dysfunctional couple but the one that's going to get all the air time is the boyfriend and girlfriend who they showed in preview yelling at each other. the kentucky couple is funny "shut up, just shut up I'm not your slave shut up."
Most everyone has probalby had a chance to see but...
SPOILER ALERT
In wake of the Survivor's ethnic twist, it's Season 10 of our beloved Amazing Race that's bringing diversity. We've got cheerleaders and Miss America contestants. Seriously, it looks like they went the extra mile: We still have the dating experiment bickering couple but added to the mix, a pair brought together by an artificial leg, Muslim best friends, Appalachian parents, Asian-American weight lifting brothers, Gay daughter and disapproving dad, Indian American husband and wife, Recovering-drug-addict male models, Single moms who may/may not bowl and a Gay couple so tiny they could fit in your pocket. What? No grandparents this year? Somewhere, Don and Mary Jean are shaking their AARP cards in disgust.
Our 12 teams start atop a hilltop in rainy Seattle to be sent to Beijing! Or they will be, once they can figure out how to get to the airport and where to park once there. It's a basic scramble to the check-in counter everyone trying for the flight that gets in an hour earlier, nothing out of the ordinary until the Cho brothers, my early favs, decide that the AIRPORT terminal is the place to fool around with water pistols. They're lucky they were only reprimanded by security. In the world now they could have been wrestled to the ground with a billy club against the larynx. Let's use our heads, boys. Also interesting at the airport, Sarah apparently isn't above using her leg to her advantage, taking the opportunity to preboard. I don't see how this gets her ahead, but it aggravated other teams. Our Single Moms are so irritated they invoke the "Y" word, 25 minutes into the premiere. Is that a record?
In China its roadblock time, with a sampling of local cuisine. Yum fish eyes, just like Mom used to make. The teams get through this hurdle easily, at least no one threw up and they make their way to the Forbidden City where the last team there gets eliminated in the new big twist. Bilal and Sa'eed, we hardly knew you, but I don’t feel like we’ve seen the last of them either.
Morning brings us a motorcycle ride to the detour; choose between labor (bricklaying) and leisure (tai chi). The models crack the brick pattern code first and take the lead. While over at the park Tom and Terry put the smackdown on the cheerleaders over on the tai chi court. Somewhere, Vipul and Arti are woefully lost on their motorcycle.
Have I mentioned that the knee joint in Sarah's artificial leg is leaking hydraulic fluid? I don't know the first thing about mechanics, but it can't be good. My knee almost never does that. She does say it's not causing her pain, just making it difficult to run
The final task before the pit stop? Scaling the Great Wall of China, this Race isn't messing around! I'm really impressed that everyone made it up that wall, I kept waiting for someone to give up and take some sort of time penalty (Hi Rob), but every last team triumphed over a structure that is visible from space. The male models maintain their lead and come in first, scoring $20,000. Poor lost-in-traffic Vipul and Arti bring up the rear and are eliminated. If you're keeping score, that's the Muslim Americans and the Indian Americans, both out. Or, in other words, Race 2, diversity 0.
Tetris Champion!
