What twist? Its not even on yet?
OP

Starts at 7:30. I am currently in eastern time zone, so I saw it already.. 
That was pretty crazy. Felt bad for that team.
Also liked the team that got eliminated. It must really suck to be so pumped up for the race and then get eliminated on the first leg.
It should come as no suprise that I like the cute guy team.

You, like cute guys?

It's early but it appears the Kentucky team is the real dysfunctional couple but the one that's going to get all the air time is the boyfriend and girlfriend who they showed in preview yelling at each other. the kentucky couple is funny "shut up, just shut up I'm not your slave shut up."
Looks like a good season.

I didn't much like the big "surprise" that happened...seemed like a big build-up for kind of a meaningless shocker, except for the team eliminated.
But pretty interesting so far...
I loved the people telling the cabbies to take them to the "Great Wall of CHINA" like they had no idea

Most everyone has probalby had a chance to see but...
SPOILER ALERT
In wake of the Survivor's ethnic twist, it's Season 10 of our beloved Amazing Race that's bringing diversity. We've got cheerleaders and Miss America contestants. Seriously, it looks like they went the extra mile: We still have the dating experiment bickering couple but added to the mix, a pair brought together by an artificial leg, Muslim best friends, Appalachian parents, Asian-American weight lifting brothers, Gay daughter and disapproving dad, Indian American husband and wife, Recovering-drug-addict male models, Single moms who may/may not bowl and a Gay couple so tiny they could fit in your pocket. What? No grandparents this year? Somewhere, Don and Mary Jean are shaking their AARP cards in disgust.
Our 12 teams start atop a hilltop in rainy Seattle to be sent to Beijing! Or they will be, once they can figure out how to get to the airport and where to park once there. It's a basic scramble to the check-in counter everyone trying for the flight that gets in an hour earlier, nothing out of the ordinary until the Cho brothers, my early favs, decide that the AIRPORT terminal is the place to fool around with water pistols. They're lucky they were only reprimanded by security. In the world now they could have been wrestled to the ground with a billy club against the larynx. Let's use our heads, boys. Also interesting at the airport, Sarah apparently isn't above using her leg to her advantage, taking the opportunity to preboard. I don't see how this gets her ahead, but it aggravated other teams. Our Single Moms are so irritated they invoke the "Y" word, 25 minutes into the premiere. Is that a record?
In China its roadblock time, with a sampling of local cuisine. Yum fish eyes, just like Mom used to make. The teams get through this hurdle easily, at least no one threw up and they make their way to the Forbidden City where the last team there gets eliminated in the new big twist. Bilal and Sa'eed, we hardly knew you, but I don’t feel like we’ve seen the last of them either.
Morning brings us a motorcycle ride to the detour; choose between labor (bricklaying) and leisure (tai chi). The models crack the brick pattern code first and take the lead. While over at the park Tom and Terry put the smackdown on the cheerleaders over on the tai chi court. Somewhere, Vipul and Arti are woefully lost on their motorcycle.
Have I mentioned that the knee joint in Sarah's artificial leg is leaking hydraulic fluid? I don't know the first thing about mechanics, but it can't be good. My knee almost never does that. She does say it's not causing her pain, just making it difficult to run
The final task before the pit stop? Scaling the Great Wall of China, this Race isn't messing around! I'm really impressed that everyone made it up that wall, I kept waiting for someone to give up and take some sort of time penalty (Hi Rob), but every last team triumphed over a structure that is visible from space. The male models maintain their lead and come in first, scoring $20,000. Poor lost-in-traffic Vipul and Arti bring up the rear and are eliminated. If you're keeping score, that's the Muslim Americans and the Indian Americans, both out. Or, in other words, Race 2, diversity 0.

That was classic!
This is my favorite reality show on TV. Haven't really identifed a team that I want to root for in this one. I miss the Hippies!
Yeah, me neither. Maybe the dad and the daughter. Or the hot guys.

Yep the dad has that all on his head for making them wait for that girl who then takes them 30 minutes out of their way.
I hoping the boyfriends would go home last night because of the confrontation in the ticket line and then them breaking the rules. 30 minutes doesn't seem adequate for a penalty to me they completely avoided the chance of getting lost by taking the ride on the motorcycles.
I also side with the blondes on the argument, there were 4 tellers, the boyfriends were the 4th team in line if they simply went up to the open teller, they'd have been waited on. but instead they apparently walked past the open teller to one of the others, and the blondes being next in line simply went to the open teller. Unless we just didn't see what really happened, it was to me a case of you snooze, you lose.
The Kentucky woman just drives me bananas, she's carrying nothing her husband is carrying everything and she screams at him for forgetting the one small bag? If your ankle is really that bad you wouldn't even be walking so stop yelling at your poor cousin... err husband and help out.
She finds someone to put up with her crap, but I am single, lol?!

I am sure I could find you a Kentucky coal miner to marry - hope you won't miss running water, indoor plumbing, and teeth......
Maybe you should start working the coal mines!
I actually like the coalminer and his wife. They are so country they crack me up.
I was hoping the two gay guys would get kicked out last night. Blaming the blond chicks for taking advantage of your mistake. Get over it.

The Blonde chicks need to give Mr. Ed back his teeth.
The Kentucky hillbillies are growing on me. At least they keep me entertained. I would not have minded if the boyfriends went home last night. Like someone else said I really haven't formed an attachment to any one group although I was a little sad to see the father/lesbian daughter combo go home.
