Okay so I don't entirely know why I hate these first boots so much--I mean they're my least favorite TAR team I've seen since starting in March, pretty much. I know why I hate them, I don't know why I hate them to this extent but I do, and they are very, very bad.

I think it might just be the fact that their intro promised something interesting, ambitious, and complex, where if I didn't love them I could at least respect them, y'know, cutthroat realtors and all...and then the only scenes I actually remember just belittled them, were full of male gaze (they used the same clip like 5 times simply to show one of them's ass repeatedly) and then they just struck a deal with the other two teams stranded to quit the challenge early and race to the finish, where they complained about another team being too competitive. Just...not cool, at all, and a massive disappointment from something I didn't expect too much of.

Also the Virgin Islands were a terrible place to go for a premiere, the entire episode just felt touristy and was full of annoying gimmicks (including ones from editing) and besides everyone spoke English there so it's not like there was any immersed culture. It was just a fancy beach vacation for the first episode, too many teams were way too negative and the first team to get out barely had any coverage.

TAR25 wasn't that great of a season in retrospect
