TAR6 first leg
Hayden and Aaron finished first in the first leg of the sixth season of The Amazing Race overtaking wrestling couple Lori and Bolo at the Detour en route to the pit stop after the latter got lost. Meanwhile, high school buddies Avi and Joe took a lot of time looking for the buoy at the Detour, thus getting eliminated in Iceland.

The Amazing Race 6 appreciation list
1. Lori/Bolo
Their job says it all: professional wrestlers. Nuff said.
2. Avi/Joe
This partnership reminds me of me and Glen. We also fantasize of joining The Amazing Race. Hopefully, Avi and Joe's performance does not reflect how other school buddies would do in the future.
3. Adam/Rebecca
Adam's hair did it for me. Otherwise, no other group stands out this season.
4. Lena/Kristy
The token girl group. Based on the first episode, they did better than the other all-female pair. Besides, these sisters rock! Students and part-time models and hails from Mormon country Utah. The "Neleh" of The Amazing Race I see in them.
5. Hayden/Aaron
This season's first leg winner. Nothing special with them except probably they are actors and models.
6. Kris/Jon
More eyecandy pair. Sorry, but wrestling couples takes precedent than overused dating pairs. Maybe in the next season I'll go back to dating couples.
7. Freddy/Kendra
I've had enough! But then again, what kinds of pairs would they include if not for girl-boy groups? The "Will and Grace" season had more dynamic couples than this year. Although Freddy might get some gay groupies, I can't say the same with Kendra though.
8. Meredith/Maria
This pair reminds me of another all-girl group that could not drive even if their lives depended on it. They are not even close to the 'bitch' level of Karla and Kami.
9. Gus/Hera
Oooh... a father-daughter partnership. You know what happened to Jim and Marsha last season. Mommy-Emily pair still rules.
10. Don/Mary Jean
Why they still put in senile couples is still an amazement for me. For symphaty votes, perhaps? It's obvious they would have a hard time coping with from the get go.
11. Jonathan/Victoria
Ah... the whiny couple of the season. I do hope that they get eliminated next episode. Then again, that would put the color out for the rest the race. Zach and Flo, anyone?
