Are we talking social media stars?
I kid, I kid!
As it turns out, were just talking teams who are, like…pretty competitive.
But Philinsiststhroughout the premiere that these 11 duos are themost competitive racers ever assembled.
TEAM EAT, Joey & Tim:Did you know that competitive eaters have stage names?
1 and 2 in the world go by Joey Jaws Chestnut and Tim Eater X Janus.
This team is wearingveryshiny green track suits, and are quite slim…both of which are equally confusing.
THE RING GIRLS, Dessie & Kayla:Weve got some self-proclaimed underdogs on our hands!
Do you remember those insane dentists?
Dont lie to me, Phil!
TEAM SKI, Kristi & Jen,on the other hand, are a little more what Id expect.
So, of course, We have to cross the finish line first and get that checkered flag.
And, would you believe it?
Lucas brought a ring.
I think that these two invented goat yoga, whichisa thing, but is perhaps the opposite of competitive.
And yet, Im glad to have them around, because,wowzers.
TEAM YALE, Henry & Evan,are a coupla datin debatin champions.
TEAM WELL-STRUNG, Trevor & Chris:I mean…this name.
How could I possibly resist?
Trevor and Chris are a pair of hot, well-muscled, well-groomed…string quartet members??
Put it on the crest, Phil.
Good, with very funny…can we call this banter?
Cody: Shockingly, these other teams arent dumb.
Jessica: Were not onBig Brotheranymore.
Cody: We…lost that.
Bad; oh so very, very bad.
It is…notzen, very uncomfortable, and also a little bit delicious.
The large letters have small numbers on them, to indicate which order the corresponding tiles should go in.
But hey, maybe under all the pressure, such an easy fix is not so obvious.
Well, some say…I am…smart?
Once at the square, they have to track down the female body builder, a.k.a.
modern Viking, and answer her two questions: What do Icelanders call The Black Death?
and What is Porskalysi?
What proves less easy…
Those damn Os!
(Tuck that in your back pocket though.)
3: TEAM YALE:They lost their lead, but theyre still ones to watch.
4: WELL-STRUNG:They rushed up to fourth place out of nowhere!
10: TEAM YOGI:Well no one saw this coming!
