First episode

I'm a huge fan. Episode one is over. Have no big favorites yet, but have one I don't like. (Don't want to spoil it for those that haven't seen it yet.)

LOVE the show ...Too early yet for me to form an opinion..... I'll just keep watching & enjoying. Check back in in a couple weeks..........

One of my favorites shows. Early favorites so far are the brother/sister team and the mother/son team.

Yep, this and Survivor are the only reality shows I religiously watch.

The brother/sister team seem nice, but I'm waiting for the Mom and Dad team to be the bickerers, or at least her to be the one to dislike. Yes, he cheated. Yes, it takes time for the relationship to heal. But at some point will he tell her to get over it or move on? And I don't have a lot of sympathy for someone who decides that appearing on a TV show is a form of therapy. Mother and son team seem genuine, and of course, the Texas divorcees and the southern belles will be the blondes that flirt their way through.

The old hippies were doomed from the start. Very sweet couple but they just seemed to kind of bounce along.

Looks good so far.

I was hooked from the very first year. Mostly because it was exactly the vacation a girlfriend and I had taken a few years before!! AND we never fight. Just look out for each other. She teaches, so we would leave the day her classes ended in late June and come back the day before school resumed in early September. I owned my own business, and left it in my brother's capable hands while I galavanted around the planet.

Aahhh... the old days, now I am remarried and she has adopted 2 little ones from Russia. I did go to Russia with her for 5 weeks (moral support).

Our trips are now FAR different... but we still know we could kick butt in that race!!! She claims even dragging the kids along!!

Alas, I have to admit I have become very spoiled with our TS's, a luxury I did not know in those travels. So, maybe, just watching someone else go through it will have to suffice now... yeah, I think I will fire up the blender,
kick off my shoes, and get a vicarious thrill from my HDTV...
