And they're off! Amazing Race in your face...

I've been saying for too many years now that my sister and I are going to try out for the Amazing Race. Maybe one day, but for now I'm content with watching it on Sundays.

Thanks to Youtube the best part of the first episode was revealed a few weeks early and could be found all over the newsfeed on Facebook. Friends Brooke and Claire go the the watermelon challenge, however, the task of launching watermelons at knight's armor literally backfires and the small watermelons goes flying into Claire's face. It is quite possibly one of the worst things I've ever seen. However, Brooke gives her a pep talk after and tells her she must continue. They don't call it the Amazing Race for nothing.





This year's cast is pretty fresh looking. You have your couples, best friends, doctors, father and son (and supposed internet sensations), beach volleyball players, Miss Kentucky and her dad and singers (aka the nerds).

The most unique pair is a biological mother and daughter who recently reunited. Andie became pregnant as a teenager and gave her daughter Jenna up for adoption. The two recently reconnected and decided to spend quality time together on the Amazing Race. This should be interesting because they admit they don't know each other well and have only met in person several times before being selected for the race. I wish them luck this is quite the task to take on with a perfect stranger.

SPOILER ALERT: Ron and Tony are the first to go. Turns our their brains and their friendship didn't cut it.
