Amazing Race 20

Yes, this is the 20th season of the Amazing Race. Crazy! Dale and I have gotten sucked back in, so here are our thoughts about last night's episode.
The New Jersey dudes: OK, seriously, how do you even get ON the Amazing Race if you can't drive manual transmission? That's an insanely foolish handicap. Oh, and the question of the race is: will he maintain his fauxhawk? The Goths maintained their elaborate looks, so it can be done.
Pilot and heartland wife: Everyone will root for him because he's a hero, but if they are trying to reconcile there's gonna be serious drama.
Dating Divorcees: I like this woman for 2 reasons: she talked about her uterus being in her throat and she wanted to smash the empanada fillings into her face. Yep, that's my kind of gal.
Rednecks: Bopper calls empanadas pinata's. Mark tries to correct him and can't say it either. Hilarious. Although if Mark is going to get motion sickness every leg, they won't last long.
Border Patrol guys: Surprisingly unfit.
FBI gals: I wonder if they find it ironic that despite their impressive "masculine" talents, the final task of this week was a kitchen one. Hoping for great things out of this pair.
No one else is memorable to me yet. I felt bad for the sisters who were eliminated because of their inability to see Phil. That's a pretty epic fail.
