The Amazing Race 15 premiered tonight and the show is really starting to piss me off.
First, they took an ill-advised page from Survivor. The race started with an extra team, then they held an instant elimination challenge and eliminated one team before they had left the starting area. It was gimmicky, unnecessary and came across as mean-spirited. These people submit their applications, get selected for the show and then are out before they get to travel anywhere. Bah!
Second, and maybe even more important, the frakking show still ISN'T IN HIGH DEFINITION!!!
This show is crying out for the high-def treatment. Survivor went HD some time ago and it's glorious. The Amazing Race travels around the world, showcasing amazing places, but in totally outdated, crappy standard definition. What the heck?!? It's almost enough to get me to bail on the show.
Get it together Amazing Race.

Another complaint is that, more than ever, this year's teams seem to be pulled right from Central Casting. Lots of young, good looking people.
