The race right now in the US is to be able to follow and catch up with every new shows and series on television. The teams have started in Los Angeles, and not the most glamorous part of it, the lovely Los Angeles river, the only river in the world that probably never saw a single fish, alive. It's actually an
'open sewage' but I too agree that '
river' sounds better!

Of course the big talk of this season: Sam & Dan aka the
'Gay Brothers'. They both came out to eachother a year ago and I love them already, I want them to win in fact :-) I am totally on the gay team on that.

The others are calling them 'The Hot Guys' team. Because they are hot indeed.

They did not come out to the others yet and want to keep the ambiguity as long as possible, but if Dan keeps sticking his finger in his mouth like that all the time they might be outed anytime soon ;-)

Ok now the other teams, well not all just my selection! Below the cheerleader with a gay boyfriend ... oh not wait a minute that is the soccer player [her] and her boyfriend ... sorry for the confusion!

Those two below, I just love, they are the newly dating sexual-pure-country-music-couple from Tennessee. Who instead of doing it rather sing it ... ouch my ears.

And now the evil team, because you always got to have some evil in tv reality. Those girls are two successful poker players, which means good liars. Unfortunately I do not like their lie, in fact I think it is pretty lame and I am glad it took no time to the others to find out. They have told the other teams that they are working for an organization helping homeless kids in Los Angeles. So they will get the symphaty votes if needed.
Well now they will get the
salopes vote,
salope is french for not so nice girls. Hope they will get eliminated soon!

And the last team, the married yoga teachers from Los Angeles. They are so zen-cool that they can ride their bike with no hands and no helmets ... well those two will have plenty of time to go back to their irresponsible activities since they were the first to be last.
But in a very
zen way they liked to think that their destiny was to set all the others free! Yeah. The fact is that they were too stupid to tell apart a Japanese license plate from a Chinese one.

So the first stop was Tokyo with a fake Japanese game show called the Sushi Roulette.

Oh boy the Japanese were so excited to see a bunch of crazy-running-over-excited Americans ... The guy below was throwing them welcome signs with his fingers, well, I think that means welcome, not really sure!

And I was so proud of my gays on this challenge which was to eat a huge roll full of wasabi! Each team had 2 minutes to eat the entire thing and Dan was the first one to finish within 1,06 minutes left [FYI the time showing is the remaining time]. Let's the race begin!
