Guest 6Borders Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Like them and I like the comment "worried about offending other cultures". I think they are going to be a strong team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerberadaisy7 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 The guy reminds me of something that was sent back to the past from The Terminator. Narcissists. A tad creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gishy333tx Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hated them. I know, too early to say that. Just felt dirty watching them. Skeezy is a great word for them. Those smiles, remind me of Tom Cruise. Glad they are on the race though, maybe Jim could lay off the tanning for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 6Borders Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 He's annoying as heck but really smart and has studied the game for sure.Somehow it's hard to get mad at him even when he's being a jerk. Those smiles are hard to deal with for sure and the tan is so fake..half their backpacks must bespray tanning stuff and tooth whitener.

mayzee Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I really want to like the Dentists - but Jim is just too overconfident and I'm tired of hearing Mysti say "Jesus" all the time.It's clear that Jim has done his homework, but I just wanna see them get tripped up on something. The AR gods need to humble this guy - just a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AR gods need to humble this guy - just a little bit.so agree - just cannot take his over-confidence - would love to see them humbled - and maybe lose the tanning and whitening surplus they are probably lugging around - just makes them appear very fake....

mayzee Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I really really really wanna see them get a task that they can't do..... Or that they get U-turned and have to use that "Save". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayzee Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The Dentists finally encountered a task that they couldn't just muscle through. Jim has done so much trash talking about how great they are that he was becoming almost unbearable. They messed up on both of the Detour tasks because they didn't pay attention to the details. Any student of the game knows that the small little details are game changers.I'm so glad that they came in dead last on this leg. I just wish that they had to use their "Save". Not sure if Jim is really "humbled" (coming in last place) because they still have the "Save".Next week looks good with the double U-turn coming up. I hope one of the teams (Wrestlers or Nashville) U-turns the Dentists and forces them to use their "Save". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencersbeard Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I must say I am rooting for the cyclists over this team, the last episode's episode pretty much suggests that these two teams will be in the final 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
