16 was really kind of dull. It was one guy who surrounded himself with minions, with one main minion, and just coasted to the prize. Add in an uber narcissistic gay youtube star for extra flavor.
17 was a bit better with a very crazy pill popping poker shark, an extremely socially awkward nerd, a big meat head under taker wannabe wrestler guy, and a couple fairly hot twins all racing to the end.
This is all just based on the TV broadcasts and not based on any of the live feeds if those are your thing.
Yeah, overall I think this cast has a lot of potential, with the lone really annoying guys being the beard and make up dude as was stated above. Kind of excited.
