I love fries! And diamonds!

I got to catch the second episode, but I'm glad that they seem to add 3 challenges to a race. I didn't like that they cut down to 2 last season.

These teams look like they were all recruited to me. I hate that. I want to see some regular people in the mix.

There are some regular people. Big Brother are a real couple. Yes, they were recruited for BB, but they are definitely a couple. Cameras in the bedroom don't lie. LOL . Wait, I was going to write down the list to prove MY point, but I think you're right.

I think the only true regular people were the boring Goat Yoga chicks.

So far, I'm only into the NBA, Yale, and BB.

Even the Goat Yoga chicks probably have an online following of some kind. I gave up on BB years ago so I had no preconceived notions of them. I am pulling for team Yale. I love that a nerdy guy hooked up with a hot girl.

A HOT girl? Realy, I think she's just as nerdy as he is. She's average, imo.

How did they sweep this under the rug? I didn't know these guys were a couple. Heck, they don't even feature them that much.

Jonnie, after I look at the ET list there are more non-recruited couples.

I'm sure some may have a following, but I don't think it is that much. Well, not as much, as the other season with the social media teams and fans asking for autographs.

The only bios that don't scream recruited to me are 10 and 11. As for Henry and Evan, I think she is geek chic cute and he actually isn't bad either. I'd date him if I were young enough.

Well, there are 5 and 8 that don't scream recruit.

Have to disagree, Poetist. Competitive Eating champs and a successful string quartet, I would guess recruited.

No. That's not 5 and 8.

5 oops I see chart topping

8 oops World Champ eaters

Dangit! I'm off my game. I guess I can't multi-task today.

So, did BB sabotage the EMT's? Didn't seem that way to me.

No, I think the producers did that to add a bit of drama, especially when they showed the gnome-less chick calling Jessica's name as if she saw. Obviously, she didn't. Disregarding all of that, it was gnome-less responsibility to hold on to the gnome.

By the way, I'm glad this was a non-elimination round. I enjoy watching NBA. I even like Yale and BB.

The third or fourth leg is usually nonelimination. I was glad to see NBA stick around. Usually I don't like casting pro athletes but dude has has THREE heart attacks? He has my vote. Yale is still my fave.

I was surprised he was allowed on the show, since he had three RECENT heart attacks.
