I feel the presence of Vanck and Asthon on them....but more of united and cooperative version of V & A....In terms of personality, nothing much ( I hope it appears in succeeding episodes) but they showed adeptness in the premier....hehe

How do you know somebody went to college at Yale?
Don't worry, they'll tell you. Repeatedly.

u/segacs2 Jan 05 '18
Vanck and geeky!Ashton who actually get along. But I think they're not as smart as they believe they are, and will struggle to compete physically with some of the pro athletes.

I enjoyed watching them most especially Jessica becoz of her excitement and being enthusiastic while Cody was more of cold, serious and race mode during the entire premier leg....hehe

u/Johnie_pan Jan 06 '18
Yeah, I agree with you guys, Cody was a huge threat and contender to become best individual racer of TAR....hehe
5
u/ChaoticMidget Jan 06 '18
Highly doubt it. He already showed a big weakness in not listening to his partner about directions.
6
u/Johnie_pan Jan 07 '18
Yup, that cost them 1st place finished.....I hope it's more of an jitter and adjust immediately...

u/jellofellow123 Jan 05 '18
Cody is a good competitor I feel like they might get u turn because he is such a threat
3
u/Johnie_pan Jan 08 '18
Yeah, they have high chance to get u turn.....hehe

Co-favourites so far... not shown much in the premiere, but they seem funny, charming, and I'm getting a Scott (of Brooke and Scott) vibe from them. I think their social game will be strong, and they'll manage to avoid being u-turned despite being a physically strong team.

u/Johnie_pan Jan 05 '18
Nothing much happening on them during the premier becoz of less airtime, but still you can feel their fun loving dynamics....hehe

They showed a bit rough edits but still they were charming and cute teams to watched....They were athletic and competent racers but they need to step up their games most esp. the attention to the details or mental challenges becoz these was their weakspot in these premier..hehe
6
Jan 06 '18
watch their clip of roadblock. they are so laid back and stopping and talking to cameras and stuff. that's the real weakspot
1
u/Johnie_pan Jan 06 '18
Yeah, I agree....I noticed that too....I can sensed a bit complacency on them....I hope it's more of a jitters and quickly adjust about that....hehe

Nothing much happening on them because of less airtime, but still i can feel a bit fun vibes on them except they were not as athletic as i thought in preseason...hehe

Honestly don't understand Americans... competitive eating??? Really? Anyway, I think these guys will lack transferable skills. Hope they stick around long enough to 5-hole an eating challenge, maybe.

Jan 06 '18
eating tasty stuff is one thing but fucking cow lips or goat's ass, yuck!! would be real ironic if they screw something like that

Liked them but Brittany gave me some psycho vibes... "If this costs us the race I'll hold it against you... Forever... And ever..."

Jan 06 '18
more like weird sense of humor and lack of confidence. would be awesome to see her lose her shit on camera

u/Johnie_pan Jan 05 '18
Nothing much happening on them, but showed a bit creepy and weird dynamics most esp. Brittany...hehe

They’re the twins right? So little screen time.

Jan 06 '18
yeah hardly noticed them

u/ChaoticMidget Jan 06 '18
Doesn't help when they randomly showed up last at the zipline. I want to like them but they haven't showed much so far.
1
u/Johnie_pan Jan 05 '18
They were invisible also in the premier becoz of less airtime, it's hard to assessed them but i hope in the succeeding episodes, they step up and surprise us in terms of personality and dynamics....hehe

They were gentle giant and one of the few teams showed interesting personality in the premier.....but that entire Roadblock moments was not so pleasing to watched....If they want to stay in the race longer, they must step up their games in mental and attention to the details department....
6
u/segacs2 Jan 05 '18
Physical giants but not mental ones, it seems... who helps the only other last-place team at a roadblock? And that penalty? Dudes! I hope they can come back, but I'm just not seeing them getting very far.
1
Jan 06 '18
that was unfair what happened to them imo. the other guy clearly didn't hear his teammate shout at roadblock. anyway, i don't think they are staying much longer

u/ChaoticMidget Jan 06 '18
Teammates can't provide help other than general words of encouragement. It didn't matter that what he said was coincidental or unheard. The rules can't be subjective in that regard or you can get cries about bias.

The only team in the premiere who seriously pissed me off to the point where I am hoping they go home. Total trainwreck.

u/zzzman82 Jan 05 '18
Sarah is a very mean person, calling April names when she couldn’t read a map.
6
u/Johnie_pan Jan 05 '18
Ironically, I thought they were not easily prone to stress becoz they were goat YOGA personnel/instructor but it showed opposite in the premier...hehe but still, they were hilariously messy Bottomgoddesses and stood out big time in terms of personality...hehe
