Is anyone else watching?
As a Big Brother fan, I am so excited to see that Derek and Claire finished 1st in the first leg of the race. They are both truly wonderful humans. I really hope they go far!
I’m already over the million “we don’t know where anyone else is because of the scramble” sound bites. I mean, I get it, that would be hard, but I don’t want to hear that allllllll season long. Or the constant reminders that every leg is a non elimination.
I liked the motivational speakers, the married couple with the tall wife and shorter husband. And oh my gosh to the identical twin sisters who just discovered each other existed a year ago… wow!! I hope they make it far too

I am all in on DX and Claire, I adore them. I am always a sucker for a father/daughter team and I really like Glenda and Lumumba, they seem like a lot of fun.

Watching! I had no idea a new season was coming until the first episode popped up on my DVR!
I don't know Big Brother, but I don't think I hate any of the teams, so that's a win. I agree that I like Glenda and Lumumba.

I've never watched before but love Derek and Claire so I am giving this season a try. I like it so far and like everyone else said, I like the father daughter pair and the long lost sisters. I also am kind of liking the brothers and the tall wife, short husband team. The wholesome seeming high school sweethearts are cute too.
The motivational speakers were kind of annoying me, but make good tv.
I think I'm now hooked.

I like everyone so far but the motivational speakers irk me a little bit. But I think it’s just because I lean more cynical. Like, I turned to my H and said, I can’t wait to see how long their inspirational talks last when they really get stressed out. But they supported each other through the challenges last we pretty well. Time will tell!

I thought she seemed kind of annoyed she had to go back and find her hat, and that annoyed me for some reason. They aren't my favorites. |

Oh man, poor Claire with that yodeling! I know she wasn’t good, but she was not alone in that! I felt like other people were getting to move on that were performing at the same level as Claire! I’m so glad that they were able to make up some time after that. Derek X is just so so amazing - I think as long as they don’t have a horrible random mistake happen, they should get pretty far
And hopefully I didn’t just jinx them lol
And I did not like motivational speakers as much in episode 2 as I did the first episode.
I guess that scramble thing was just a one time thing, or at least not something used during each leg.

Oh gosh, this got me. I can’t imagine my girls not having each other for so long. They don’t even really like not having each other for a few hours. |

I can’t even imagine. And I kept thinking about all of the other connections they now have…. A new niece, a new aunt for the girl, a new brother/sister in law. I love them so much. I finally got to watch the 2nd half of the megaleg today and I was extra happy to see them win it! |

Anyone still watching? I am so happy with the final 3! I would be happy to see any of them win. I came in as a huge big brother fan, but within the first episode, I was also rooting for the twin sisters, and then as the episodes went along, I added the newlyweds to my list! I’m still shocked that Emily and Michelle weren’t eliminated that last leg! I hope to see them win, of all 3 teams, because I feel like once this is done, their comp days are done. I can see all/all of the other 4 people in the final continuing on with a try at The Challenge someday.

I have been watching every week and I really like all 3 final pairs. I'd be happy with any of them winning. I really like how the 2 couples speak to each other, neither of them are ever mad/ yelling/ blaming the other person. Molly & Emily so wild about the feeding the dog the yolk at breakfast thing, twins really are something magical even without knowing each other.

I really loved the Iceland episode, how David did all those swimming challenges as a non-swimmer. They just kept a great attitude and it was exactly how the race should be.
I'm happy with the Top 3, though I wish that brothers Marcus & Michael were still in it. I really enjoyed their level of kind competitiveness.

While I am rooting for Claire and Derek, I love all of the teams still in it. It's one of the reasons I love the show so much in that unlike Survivor/Big Brother, I usually like pretty much everyone (with some exceptions along the way).

David broke my heart a little. Knowing he had to do all of those challenges without knowing how to swim and then Aubrey knowing without a doubt they had to stop. Oof.

Derek and Claire! I'm so happy for them.
I will have to watch again on Paramount tomorrow though because I missed their big finish.

I just watched Derek’s videos of Claire trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets on IG and I was dying laughing. So funny!

They really just had so many strengths this season with her memory recall and Derek with all his hidden talents like "oh I play piano, I can call these by key". Super happy for them. She instantly knew him well enough to know the "proposal" was a joke. Like if that were me, I would have been like yea where is my ring?! But she laughed and said I packed the bags- there's no ring! lol
I hope they stay together and do eventually get married
