YES at the M/M slaughter #yesallfemales

Also, I'm not gonna put it in spoiler tags since it's not about the cast or boot order or anything, but the route is FANTASTIC except for the Asia endgame. And apparently finishing in California.

Fortunately, the former involves a completely new country as well as a region last seen in the single digit seasons, and the latter just might be outside the Southern part...

Can't wait for Jody to be on my tv again tomorrow night!

Let's go, NBA ~

[Macie Lightfoot]

lmfao Goat Yoga meltdown

[Macie Lightfoot]

the NBA stars are DISASTERS and I'm loving it

[Macie Lightfoot]

omg what on earth

[Macie Lightfoot]

okay so that had all the makings to be a GREAT premiere... but then the editing of the back half of the pack was a complete mess and we didn't even get to see some of the teams at all? Probably should've been a 90 minute premiere because for the closest finish EVER... I feel almost nothing alol. Like who are Dessie and Kayla? The editing just completely fell apart after the first three teams checked into the Pit Stop and that just ruined the whole flow of everything.

True. The first half of the episode was so promising, but the second half was really rushed. That finish though...
I'm excited for the twists this season, especially the team swap and head-to-head comps.

[AarynGriesfan]

I enjoyed the first episode. Would have been nice if it was a little longer but oh well. I feel bad for the ring girls that's a rough way to go home. They seemed like nice girls plus they were really hot.

Agree with this. Felt very rushed towards the end.

Still enjoyed it though, Glad the Goat Girls survived as they seem like they could be potentially messy. And same for the NBA guys too

[AarynGriesfan]

7.31 million people tuned into the Amazing Race last night. They usually get like 4.5 to 5 million people. So clearly the Jody army is saving the franchise.

[Valmafra]

I've clearly jinxed #TeamSlamDunk.
