Even in the selection process at the beginning-- How many "models" "athletes" "cute blonde couples" etc., doe one show need?
Hope you're well!

bleeding heart liberal - started rooting for the underdogs. But, man, that husband is a dick. Poor wife. I wished I had an imaginary shaver to cut his ugly-ass hair off.

She tried her best and all he could do was insult her. Have been waiting since the first episode to see them eliminated from the race.

"I work for Walmart so this should be easy."
But I didn't buy his "I was just trying to motivate her" schtick in explaining why he treated his wife so cruelly. "At least you're alive. The kids need a mother."
And I wish there had been a challenge that required shaving that mullet off!
The foremost thought in my mind, though, throughout this episode was how beautiful the scenery was. Every shot was breathtaking.
