Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Am I really the only person who hates this season?
Nope. The gimmick is dumb, and bad, and terrible, and stupid, and dumb, and bad. Dating teams are almost always the most boring and/or terrible of all racing relationships, and this is a season where they're all dating teams, dear God. Plus, two episodes in, and the racing quality has taken an obvious nosedive (not surprising, given how much they must have been casting for mactors to "date" each other instead of interesting duos); each Roadblock has been an obvious, obvious Bad Choice/Good Choice, and in both cases the majority of the teams have not only chosen the Bad Choice, but refused to switch when it became obvious they'd chosen wrong.

I think it's very telling that the teams doing the best are established couples who don't fit the Ken/Barbie mold and "blind dates" who are hilariously snubbing the entire gimmick right to Phil's face and going "what, no, this isn't how you date, we seem to get along well and that's good enough to race on" -- in other words, turning themselves into Friend teams.

I'm ok with good choice bad choice at this point in the season since it tends to harm people who aren't familiar with the show or very smart early on.
Yeah, but more than half the teams are showing themselves to be either not familiar or not very smart. That's not promising.

This is a bad season and someone was clearly way too into the whole "BLIND DATE LET'S MAKE THEM FALL IN LOVE ON THE RACE" idea, and I think it was Phil, because he's just so into it at the mat. My only joy remains all the teams just taking every opportunity to rubbish the stupid gimmick to his face.
