The Amazing Race - Season 21

And the teams are announced! Check here or here.

No returning teams, but racers will include the Fabulous Beekman Boys, a former Megadeth rocker a double amputee, married Monster Truck racers and two Chippendale dancers. The new twist: If the team that wins the first leg also wins the last leg, they'll double their winnings to $2 million.

Premiere is Sept. 30.

Greek Alert

Brittany Fletcher on this season's Amazing Race is an Alumna of the Alpha Mu chapter of Phi Mu from Auburn University. Though I normally don't watch this show, I may have to in order to cheer on a sister!

My son is rooting for the substitute teachers, but other than that we all agreed that while there were teams who are getting on our nerves already, there really weren't any teams we felt like rooting for. Kind of disappointing, though maybe a few of the teams will grow on me.

I would root for Amy (the double amputee) and Daniel, but why in the world did they tell Ryan and Abbie where the abacus woman was? Stupid, stupid, stupid. That cost them a shot at $2 million. I don't feel like rooting for stupid.

I'm glad they blew first place because it would have been a big let down when they get eliminated.

I know prosthetics are super super expensive but why would you go on this show without ones that allow you to run? It was bugging me so much that Daniel was carrying Amy's pack while she barely jogged. If she's dragging that much in the first leg when there was not that far to run, their team is not going to last too long.

I had that same thought.

Lexi and Trey are University of Texas graduates. Lexi is my husband's cousin's daughter. She is a Tri Delta and was on the UT Pom Squad. Pom is the group of dancers that wear chaps and dance/cheer on the sidelines at football games. Trey was on the football team at UT. They are such a cute couple! Go Team Texas!

I like the rockers and think the twins seem fun (and a bit whiny). The chippendales got on my nerves FAST.

I went to high school with Abbie, so I guess I'll root for her. And I like the rockers too.

The only thing I know about the teams is about the goat farmers ... they're "The Fabulous Beekman Boys"

The rockers grew on me during the episode, but I'm reserving judgment.

Funny, I was the exact opposite. The twins were driving me CRAZY by the end of the episode, but the chippendales kind of grew on me.

Overall, I was kind of ehhh; I thought it was a really boring first episode, and I didn't really find any one team that I was super excited about. The UT kiddos and the rockers are probably my favorites so far, but I'm not super excited about anyone yet.
