I guess thats understandable when you have eighteen strangers traipsing the globe together.
Some are great, some are neutral, and most are stoked to be in the competition at all.
Liz and Michael are dominating.

London and Logan arent going to get caught up in all the BS.
And Sara is ticked that Shamir is still talking bout his junk.
Its a new dawn, people.
That means a new route.
Adjust that backpack and break out the sunscreen, because we are going to Africa.
All teams are on the exact same flight traveling to Tanzania in search of the Askari Monument.
That means the playing field has officially been leveled.
They have to find a clue buried in the newspaper.
Beware: Theres a double U-Turn ahead.
Cue the butt clenches!
They have to take a ferry to Zanzibar.
The entire cast makes it onto the same ferry.
Watch out #TeamBoys.
To quote T-Swift, Now weve got bad blood.
All teams rush off the boat and crawl into taxis.
Its fate, now.
Joey and Tara U-Turn Seth and Olive.
It is a smart choice, considering they are one of the stronger teams.
Vanck and Ashton arrive second and U-Turn Redmond and Matt.
TAKE THAT, MEAN BOYS.
They all have to hop in another boat to get to the DETOUR.
As teams launch into various canoe-looking vessels, many begin to talk smack to one another.
And by many, I mean Redmond.
This is coming from the man who did not honor his gentlemanly agreement by countering, Its a race.
Most of the teams choose to Build It.
There were zero instructions and no guide.
Joey and Tara truck along.
Shamir complains, admitting that his sister builds all of his IKEA furniture.
Liz, Michael, Vance, and Ashton make it work.
Shamir gets a splinter and whimpers.
An African man shakes his head.
Team Fun whistles while they work.
The two teams who choose Weave It are having a hard time.
A sweet man by the name of Butterfly shimmies up a tree and hands Matt and London a branch.
Shes all about the crochet, for crying out loud.
This should be a piece of cake!
Meanwhile, Liz and Mike are the first team to have their desk inspected.
They are right behind Joey and Tara.
Seth and Olive arrive at the basket-weaving place.
Matt and Redmond are still there.
Redmond begins to make fun of Policeman Seth, claiming that he probably wants to shoot his basket.
What is this guys deal?
Why is Redmond being so tacky all the time?
Is he a poor loser?
All of the desk people are floored to see #TeamBoys stroll up.
Tensions rise with the remaining teams.
Liz and Mike are the first to deliver their desk.
Liz sends the butcher in to do his thing.
Hes followed by Joey and Vanck.
Other teams arrive shortly after, and Brooke, Floyd, and London team up to cover more ground.
It is the worst decision ever.
ROLL CALL!Seth tries to remain calm while basket weaving.
Olive is wicked stressed.
Shamir yells at Sara for not helping.
Heres hoping leg four has something to do with anger management.
Redmond and Matt are building desks in their sleep, while Shamir and Sara look on in horror.
Michael is geeking out at the food market.
Joey is bargaining over melon prices.
Vanck has enlisted the help of fellow marketers.
And the three who teamed up are being gouged by the food merchants.
Cash is flowing freely, and not in a good way.
Shamir and Sara leave the desk area for the market a little bit before Matt and Redmond.
They dive into the food extravaganza just as Joey walks out.
Newsflash: A halal chicken means that its head has been chopped off.
Do you know how I know that?
He meanders out with all of the ingredients and receives his clue.
Butcher for the win!
ThePIT STOPis the Emerson on Hurumzi, which is a rooftop hotel.
Mike and Liz race off with Joey and Tara not far behind.
Vanck chops his chickens head and runs off to find Ashton.
Astonishingly, Matt and Redmond follow close behind.
The three teams who shop together are mortified.
Matt and Redmond finished two detours to their one.
They finally get their wits about them, find their food, and receive envelopes.
Its down to Olive and Sara.
Who can shop faster?
Olive definitely has the edge, since Sara and Shamir spent all their money on a cab.
The suspense is killing me!
Tara and Joey: Looks like the U-Turn worked out for them.
Ashton and Vanck: The U-Turn worked out for them, too.
Unfortunately, they have to share the mat with the fourth-place team.
Floyd and Becca: Fifth place rules!
Unless you lose your passport.
Beccas fun meter doesnt have an irritated section, does it?
They have to go back and find the missing documentation.
Way to go, Floyd.
London and Logan: So they are officially in fifth place now.
Brooke and Scott: Scott is so keesh.
That means hes young and hot, but totally cool about it.
He really wants this phrase to catch on duringThe Amazing Race.
I say we help him make that dream a reality.
Sara and Shamir: Somehow, Shamir powers through his junk injury and his splinter.
Becca and Floyd ramble up behind Sara and Shamir as the second-to-last couple of leg three.
I guess it does pay to forge relationships with your transportation provider.
Seth and Olive are the last team to arrive and are therefore eliminated from the race.
The U-Turn was their downfall.
They ran as hard as they could and made a lot of friends along the way.
Episode 3 was full of drama.
Do you think Redmond is being a jerk?
Do you love Vanck and his compass as much as I do?
Will you help me make keesh happen?
