If it ever goes berserk, one of the answers can be “love”

You don’t remember Zev & Justin? Zev has Asperger’s Syndrome, and Justin is his buddy. They wound up winning the fourth leg in TAR15 . . . only to realize that they lost their passports. Justin found his in the bag, but it turned out that Zev lost his in a temple that they crashed before finishing the leg. By the time they glumly came back to Phil Keoghan empty-handed, they got eliminated.

For a WTF selection, go to Amanda & Kris, who lasted four legs in TAR14. I don’t remember them at all. Also, I question the inclusion of Jaime and Cara, the former Miami Dolphins cheerleaders (an occupation shared by Brenda from Survivor: Nicaragua), between they sucked as Racers, and one of them was a bitch (I couldn’t tell ’em apart). In at least one site (Television Without Pity), Margie & Luke are set to be the main villains, mostly because of their TAR14 feud with Kisha & Jen. Personally, I think she’s overprotective of him because he’s deaf, and he can be a little bitch at times . . . and that’s the extent of it. If I’m right, there won’t be a raging asshole team, and we could have a good season . . . or at least better than the last “all-star” season (TAR11), where the totally undeserving Eric & Danielle won their only leg in the finale to get $1 million.

As for Survivor: it’s sad when Mark Burnett has to look towards Real World/Road Rules Challenge for inspiration. It’s one big whose-dick-is-bigger contest between Russell (lack of social game negates the good stuff he can do) and Rob (easily the most overrated contestant in the show’s history), and I heard they’ll be “coaching” their respective tribes, which translates to them automatically making the merge. I don’t know if that’s true, but host Jeff Probst basically said that if you’re not a fan of Russell’s shenanigans, you’re not a fan of the show. And that’s why he’ll never measure up to Phil.
