I like the model/drug addicts. I think they have a lot of potential.
I really liked the team with the girl with the disability.
Here are the teams who turned me off:
The black women.
The father/daughter.
The guy who yells at his girlfriend.
Here are the teams who i like:
The korean guys (or whatever they were). But they need to pick it up big time.
I also thought the miss americas (or whatever pageant they were from) were quite fit. They could do well.
As for the other teams the cheerleaders did well. I think the gay couple will have trouble.
And OMG that team from kentucky (alabama?), the hicksters. So funny watching them. Why do i think this will be DR MBarnum's new favorite? 
LOL, DR Jennifer, I am not surprised, but we like completely different teams. I was cheering most for the father/daughter and the black women. I was sorry to see the Indian couple go.
The models will be ok if they quit the program stuff... ok you were addicts and you got clean, you don't need to tell me that 100 times, I get it already- move on.
The team that annoyed me the most was the woman with the disability and her whatever he is. I started out cheering for her and was impressed with the things she can do, but she turned out to really annoy me, I didn't like it when they preboarded and said " We can play the disability card a lot in this race" or whatever the exact words were. She's some sort of Iron Man athlete, but will lie (it's an emergency) and use her disability to gain an advantage. I don't like that.
I don't think they should modify the challenges or change them for just her. Others have problems doing them too due to weight or lack of training or age or whatever, if you're going to do TAR, you have to do TAR, if you can't, you'll be eliminated. That's the way it should be.
I think it's totally appropriate to have a physical challenge like the rope early in the competition. How bad to you want this? Bad enough to focus and challenge yourself beyond where you thought you could go? Everyone made it up the rope, so it wasn't impossible for anyone and I think it was great for the teams. Even the coal miner finally showed some respect for his wife saying she was going to have kids at home who would be so proud of her and that he never imagined she could do that. Maybe he'll even listen to her a little now.
