Some first impressions just based on the OP.

Could they get any more generic blonde women on the show at one time?

I've never seen the Amazing Race, but just reading the little blurbs makes me want to see the twins suffer...a lot.

I really want to believe that the pet peeve of Keith, the fire chief, means that he doesn't like the loafers as in shoes. I don't know why, but it amuses me.

Of the guy brothers, Drew is going to be a dick, Alec might not be.

Wal, why would anyone want to be like Monica? Your husband might be alright though.

The cheerleading mom and daughter might be ok, but they also might be truly horrible.

The pet peeves of the gay guys just bother me and reek of a privileged persons problems. Also, their "I'm not like anyone else" bits just rub me the wrong way.

Really Jaclyn, your pet peeve is 'waiting in line'? Are you just too pretty to do it? You're bf might not be so bad though.

The only people who actually seem somewhat real are the farmer and his hot daughter and the firefighting dad and son, although the son might end up being a tool.

And finally: gently caress JOHN ROCKER.

Who missed the memo and voted for Baylor?

And who's Baylor?

I think it must be Dale who voted for Baylor, although I don't know why.

And Baylor is part of the mom/daughter cheerleader couple. Both divorced I guess.

edit - Fast Luck, I think Baylor voted for the twinnie because she said she was voting with Josh.

It still seems weird to me because people are likely to talk about what happened at tribal, especially with the single odd vote.

So John, Dale, Wes and the other guy (not Josh) are going to say 'I voted for Nadiya for <insert reason here>.' Val and the other woman are going to say 'I voted for Dale because he is old.' And then since it was Nadiya's idea they will assume that she didn't go off script and vote for Baylor. That just leaves Josh and Baylor and since Baylor can't vote for herself, it will be obvious that it was Josh.

None of the other guys have any reason to lie about their vote, so it seems like it would be hard to start a smear campaign about how one of them is a liar and out to get Baylor. Josh can't play the 'I wasn't in the loop' card with the women, so it's a clear betrayal by both Josh and Baylor.

I don't think Baylor has any reason to turn on Josh for the wonky vote, at least not in the short run. He can sell it as a way to hide the fact that they're tight - if it was clear that one woman had flipped, the other women would be mad at her and the men would be suspicious of how she knew who to vote for.

Even in the worst case scenario, "I was paranoid, I knew you weren't getting any votes, I wanted to be able to knowledgeably pick a side if I was actually the swing vote and I knew you wouldn't hold it against me" wouldn't make someone an immediate target in my eyes, especially if he's someone I've gotten close to in the first three days.

But that's just it, Josh can't sell it as a way to hide that they are tight because Baylor can't vote for herself. I feel like it actually outs Josh/Baylor as a pair despite Josh actually voting for Baylor. I don't think Baylor turns on Josh because of the vote, but I think everyone else will feel like they can't trust Josh. The other guys were all voting for Nadiya and the girls (minus Baylor) were voting for Dale, but Josh didn't do either, so he isn't part of the team and that is going to put a target on his back.

Honestly, it would have been better if he had just voted for Nadiya and said 'Hey, I didn't like her weird stereotype of me being 'one of the girls' just because I'm gay.' But I guess that would be throwing Baylor under the bus.

I don't know why they voted out Kelley instead of Dale. It seemed like Baylor and others had a problem with Dale specifically, but then they just skip voting him out and instead target his daughter who might have been willing to work with them if it weren't for Dale holding onto grudges. I know that Kelley had been getting some comments about being a smart player, but there also didn't seem to be any mention of it during this episode.

Are you required to keep the scroll with the idol? Because that's just more bulk to keep hidden. If I found a real idol, I'd probably burn the scroll before it even occurred to me that someone would want to see it as proof my idol is real.

edit: obviously I wouldn't find a fake idol. That would be embarrassing.

Now I kind of want to see someone find a HII then make a fake one and put it back in the same spot with the note from the real idol.

I can't disagree with you more. Redemption Island, as long as it kept it to pre-merge would have been a better gimmick than Exile Island for a Blood vs Water season.

There's no real emotion from sending your loved one to Exile Island and the Island only gets 15 seconds of airtime. But watching your loved one get defeated in a challenge and sent home is great television.

...and then we get one poor sap back into the game to immediately get voted out again. No damage done.

I agree with these thoughts. Exile Island is pretty terrible this season. The loser of the duel (now pretty much meaningless since it's no longer a loved one duel) gets sent to Exile Island and the winner then picks someone from their own tribe to go as well. When the two exiles get there, one of them gets a clue to the HII and decides if they want to share it, then they sit there for a day or two before going back to their tribes in time for the next challenge.

Except for the first episode, they haven't really gotten any airtime and there is no real impact on the game. It's just so boring and useless and hasn't really produced any sort of drama or excitement.
