                                               SUMMARY
1.  I am sick of Nat's teeth & talking with gum.

5.  Chad keeps yelling at Steph.  Finally, he stopped.  He postpose to her in Oman.
6.  At Norway during the fast forward Nick & Vicky doesn't know what "taken" means.
7.  Thomas is very snobbish toward his partner.
8.  At the first non-elimination Vicky & Nick did not have to do a SPEED BUMP.  Why???
                                  3-15-2014 UPDATE
9.  Brooke should know what her partner can do instead of trying to push her too much.
10.  Nick & Vicky fight too much.  He yell at her too much.
                                      6-10-2014  UPDATE
11.  Kevin & his father need to learn how to READ ALL their clues.
12.  Nick  is very rude toward Vicky.
13.  Why didn't Nat & Vicky have a penalty served when them didn't get eliminated?


MY FAVORS TEAM:
1.  Nat & Kat - very good team except Nat has too much teeth.
2.  Michael & Kevin - very good people except need to read ALL their clues.



NOT MY FAVORS:
1.  Brook & Claire - too LOUD. Should worry about hugging the wrong people.
2.  Mallory & Gary   "
3.  Nick & Vicky.  Vicky need to develop some guts.
