Yeah it would have been MUCH better

Here is my analysis of the teams:

Alana and Mel (SA) - Reunited sisters:
The Yin and Yang couple, expect to see their relationship grow together or fall apart as the series goes. Likely to grow closer or just stay the same, but the non-nerdy sister just reminds me of this replusive girl at high school.

Tracy and Anne-Marie (WA) - Workmates:
Your token mums team that appeals to mothers/ladies of the same age. Seem polite but physically isn't as strong as the others. They might have the least confrontation of all couples I reckon.

Anastasia and Chris (NSW) - Dating:
The lovebird couple - the team whose relationship hasn't been tested yet, and I think this series will, like next week's trailer suggests push it to the edge or even breaking point. If they stay and work together, they can make a powerful team.

Dave and Kelly (WA) - Married bikers:
Elderly/True Blue Couple - Could say the team is chosen to appeal to bikers, but that's too specific - it appeals more to the older Australians that still like to live life on a fun/rough side. Dave already spat the dummy on the first episode but Kelly was relatively calm about it. Their relationship will be tested as they said at times they prefer alone time as well, but they seem to have a stronger bond than Anatasia and Chris.

Jeff and Luke (QLD) - Father and son:
Kind of another yin and yang couple, but more on the dramatic side. You have the father who's trying to get back his son's trust after abandoning him for years. They seem to be calm now, but when the sh!t hits the fan they are likely to get very tense. They could get far, but only if they can stick together.

Joey and Richard (NSW) - Married entrepreneurs:
This couple is interesting, they both seem to like taking up challenges and already have LIVE and WORK together so that's a plus too. I wouldn't be surprised if these two make it to the finals.

Matt and Tom (QLD & NT) - Farmers:
Another interesting team,unlike other teams these two haven't been gone overseas before. Though they seem to have a tight friendship going along their only worry is culture shock (which they handled really well in the first episode).

Mo and Mos (VIC) - Friends:
Your token ethnic couple. These two guys are pretty funny and even made a joke about their own backgrounds - 'I'm surprised when people walked passed they didn't call the cops because there was an Arab man climbing the MCG' LOL. Though they are funny, they're slower than the other couples which was evident with them coming in last place.

Tyler and Nathan (NSW) - Surfers:
The laid back young team of mates, meant to appeal to the younger viewers alike. They are physically fit but don't seem to handle the stress too well, as they got pissed at each other pretty quick into a challenge.

Sam and Renae (WA) - Models:
The beauty/glamour team. These girls know they have the looks, and they know how to use it to get their way. And one of them is a tomboy who knows her cars. Also, they've got physicality on their side. These girls got first place on tonight's episode. A very powerful couple but a confrontation between the two could easily destroy them as seen in the somewhat tense moment they were playing the counting game.

Ryot and Liberty (NSW) Brother and sister:
These two are interesting as well, they've grown up together knowing that they're both competitive. Ryot self-admittedly arrogant and smart whereas Liberty is the more reserved, calming force. Though they both might not have physicality on their side (Liberty got sick already), they make a deadly balance for a team.

Joey and Richard (NSW) - Married entrepreneurs:
This couple is highly annoying! Very disrespectful to the locals in indonesia when trying to sell the soup. Hoping for a mega fail or they get to the end only to finish 2nd.

Im hoping the farmers do well they seem pretty straight up. But darn one of the models without makeup is just nasty!

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I love the Amazing race, but I am not so sure about this one. All the teams seem a little annoying to me to be honest. The Big W ladies are too giggly for me to like, the surfers just annoying. Muscles will be funny to watch, the reuinted sisters I just don't care for. The muslim guys will be good to watch. I just hope they aren't dumped too soon. Will their need to stop for prayer cost them?

I guess the Farmers are my most liked team, but the guy with the black hat is so ocker I have trouble understanding what he says.

Joey and Richard (NSW) - Married entrepreneurs:
These guys will be interesting to watch, as they have a lot of that self-motivation/life coaching sort of crap feeling. Plus Richard seems to be the go-getter of the team, whereas Joey looks like she is less so. It will be interesting to see how they go through a challenge when they one of them doesn't do too well. I think they will turn on each other.

Reminds me of this married couple about 4 seasons ago, she was all lovey for him and he said he was for her, but when they did poorly he turned on her something fierce. Poor girl.

Witholding judgement for now.

My wife Loves the Amazing race, we were bummed when we realised we'd missed out on the auditions, and now, last night, we missed the first episode...

Hopefully we can catch up and see how it goes, we are worried from the adds we've seen that the whole series is going to be a little too Gratingly Aussie and a little too Bogan.

. But darn one of the models without makeup is just nasty!

Aint that the truth. Models for target catalogues to me doesn't classify them as models.
Personally I like the arabs cause they were funny.

Best by far is Grant Bowler, he is a good host.

Yeah Grant is great stuff, been a fan of him since his Outrageous Fortune days. Good ol Wolfgang West

I didn't notice that those 2 were being very disrespectful, must have not caught my attention as I was on the laptop as well. If that's the case, I hope they get what is coming to them - they did seem like the couple where it was ALL about trying to be successful but lacking the basic love.

If Mo and Mos don't make it, then I hope the farmers do too because they're not annoying, more of a modest down to earth team and they seem to share a very good friendship, much better than the surfer jerkies.
