Amazing Race All Stars starts tonight, I think! I'll need some help on backstory for some of the teams, since I've only been watching for two years!
Glory: Lesson number one, Vampires equal impure! Spike: Damn right I'm impure, I'm as impure as the driven yellow snow!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, thanks for the head's up!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
CBS seems to have finally realized that adjusting the titles each season was bringing down their Tivo numbers - my season pass picked tonight's ep right up.

Oh, good--I will still double-check, but it had been on my mind to do so and I'd forgotten until I saw your post!

There hasn't been TAR since I moved, so I've had a lot of DVR rebuilding to do.

Just getting started and seeing who the teams are on TAR--OMG I cannot WAIT for some people to get eliminated. But NOOOOOOOO, not Bopper and Mark out before it starts!!!!! I do not know who this chick is.
I hate the You Tubers and "Brenchel" or whoever. Also not excited about the country singers, or the stupid surfer and his GF.
I'm a little surprised/annoyed at how many of the teams are from super recent seasons? I guess it makes sense both practically (the farther ago it was the less likely they are to still be together/willing to both do it/etc) but also ratings-wise (less history to go back to).
People I don't know and would like some backstory on: Globetrotters, mom and Deaf son, cowboys?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Globetrotters are awesome, but prone to mistakes. Cowboys are as you see them - smart, low drama, tend to go their own way. Which can backfire. Deaf kid is or was kind of an asshole sometimes, but they're all right for the most part.

Any of these can go home at any time. And likely will, though Rachel and Brendon are pretty tough competitors, most of the time.

Yeah, sadly for all that they're horribly annoying, Rachel and Brendon do pretty well.
Thoughts during:
So wait, some took a cab and some took metro? Was that an option? I kept expecting teams to be told "you took a cab, timeout!" Also, somehow Afghanimals and the Twinnies working and failing together is so perfect and so wrong.
That bubble thing would scare the shit out of me.
I love that Phil signed "team number 4". Aww.
OK, I'm perfectly fine with Twinnies being first eliminated.

Poor Twinnies - this is exactly how they got eliminated their first time out, but I was surprised they fell apart that badly in ep 1!!
