Jumping in late as I just got around to watching it today on DVR (and I'm now reading this thread because I didn't want to read any spoilers earlier)
Phil said at the beginning there are 7 elimination pitstops, that means 6 non-elimination pitstops if they go the normal 13 pitstops.
So far I'm rooting for team Pink, the guy and 3 daughters, and the guy and his 3 son in laws. (we need team names stat!) Sorry to see the Black family leave so soon as I really wanted the Paolos to get whacked. Their kids have no respect for their mother and I think they learned it fromdad...what a crappy family.
Can't wait till next week.
BTW: Does this seem like a USA Race to anybody? Usually the team are out of the country by now. Next week Gettysburgh.
I definitely noticed that Phil did NOT say "a race around the world".
My favorite part of this episode was when the Black's son fell in the water. Dad just picked him up and made a comment about "these things happen". Nice family.
I was rooting against the Linz's. The puking/vomiting brother kept making comments about the women in the race. I think he's a pig.
You have the advantage on me with DVR--I missed some of the things that Phil said while I was typing Tuesday night. Someone else pointed out that instead of saying that this is "a race around the world" Phil said that this is "a race for $1 million dollars", meaning that this TAR might never leave the US. I'm okay with that. Just as long as they don't make a habit of it.

Team Pink? Ack, that sounds too close to "Code Pink". I like "The Blondes" for the Godlewski sisters, myself :)
The Aiellos are one of my favorites too, but the Bransens ... I don't know. So far they seem kind of bland to me.
