a5c7b9f00b Eleven new teams of 2 travel from Los Angeles, California to Bora Bora, French Polynesia. The game changes when it is revealed that the first team to check in at the Pit Stop will receive two Express Passes, one that they can use themselves and the other that they must give to another team of their choice before the fourth leg.
With most reality competition shows that return for a new season the first episode is an introduction to all these new contestants that fans will both have to hate and love throughout the long process. I was glad watching this season knowing the it was an hour premiere and that I would not have to watch such a long episode about most of the same. 11 teams that travel from USA to the beautiful French Polynesia, Bora Bora in France. The challenges were great to show the beauty of the landscapes especially with the contestants skydiving. Most of the teams that made an impression on me were the pairs that I feel I'm going to hate all season long. The Newlywed couple of Max and Katie were just cruel especially her when talking about the rest of the contestants. Once again we get a twin couple and after the horror that was Natalie and Nadiya, Idries and Jamil are those twins. The only couple I actually liked were youtube stars Joey and Meghan only for how fun they seemed to be about everything. Once again I like the show but it takes a few episodes in for me to start to care about twists and contestants backstabbing fellow team mates. The task of giving a second express pass could be either a bad move or good one.<br/><br/>EPISODE GRADE: B- (MVP: Joey and Meghan)
