Ready! Set! Race!

On Tuesday night, after a dismal family-oriented edition CBS' The Amazing Race is back at it's best!

With it's eleven teams of existing reltaionship couples - the Hippies, Frat Boys, Ken & Barbie, Glamazons and love-lorn Geeks amoung them - the Race's 9th season sprinted out of the starting gate, and off to São Paulo, Brazil, with aplomb!

But I do have a question for The Race's casting director (and, for that matter, all casting people on reality shows)... Why must the gays be so f**king queer? I usually route for the homos, but not this time! John & Scott were worthless excuses for competitors. With their lisps, fear of flying and reliance on "genie" power, these "girls" so obviously couldn't cut the mustard they were eliminated by episode's end. Yes, they didn't even warrant a spoiler alert.

Let's think back: Bunky, Marcellas, Survivor: Africa's Brandon, Will, Oswald & Danny, Lynn & Alex, Apprentice 4's Clay... Why are we gays always portrayed as the sharp-tounged fashionistas with limp wrists. Even Race winners Reichen & Chip (that season's sole "married couple" - a joke in itself, since Reichen jumped ship as soon as he found some fame) weren't exactly mountains of masculinity! Aren't there any hot, humerous, jock-like gay boys out there? Oh wait... there's Eric & Jeremy... well Jeremy, who's really hot, a total jock, and as gay as they come - he just hasn't admitted it to himself yet (and he's certainly in love with Eric)!
