Amazing Race 7 first impressions

I love that we're back to "normal" this season! And am I being too specific, or did the Philiminator's introduction mean what I think it means? He clearly said that the last team to arrive at each leg "will" be eliminated. Does that mean no non-elimination legs?! That would be awesome!

Now for the teams...

Favorite team by FAR - the dorks. They are fantastic and did far better than I'm sure even they thought they would. Go dorks!

LOVE the hippies. Didn't think I would, but they're great.

On paper, the old couple are unstoppable. Just goes to show how important those detour decisions can be. Hopefully they perform better in the next leg.

Wanda and Desiree (mom & daughter) are obnoxious, the pink girls and frat boys are just dumb, but the frosties are annoying as hell (and I'm amazed they aren't gone).

Lake & Michelle - I see shades of Johnathan and Victoria here. Keep your eye on him.

The other few teams didn't stick out much to me. The young white couple started out a little bratty, but sucked it up as things went along. The black couple - I see sparks flying here later on. He was about to go after those guys catcalling her during the motorcycle building.

The gay guys were a little trying but I like that the big guy was in it to challenge himself. I'm not surprised in the least that they are the first team out.

SO glad to have the Race back! Woohoo!
