Amazing Race Season 15 Teams announced

With this new Survivor season starting this week, I thought that a new season of Amazing Race must be around the corner. Sure enough they released information on the teams 5 days ago. Let's dig in!

First thing I notice. The pretty team is from San Diego again! Is this a coincidence? No. It's true only pretty people live in San Diego.

Meghan and Cheyne will hereby be known as Team San Diego, but I may need to come up with something different since they both spell their names really stupid. They met in elementary school, that's all you need to know.
Maria and Tiffany are both professional poker players. Maria graduated from UCSD, but still their name is Team Poker.
Marcy and Ron are old people that think they are young and hip. Thus they will be named Team Old to remind them of how old they are. They are dating... dating old people. They met online, how hip. They like to think of themselves as being active for crusty old people.
Lance and Keri, they are engaged. He sounds like a dick. He's a lawyer and black belt in karate, like I said he sounds like a dick. They also describe him as being über-aggressive which translates to... dick. Prepare for him to be yelling at Keri a ton. Team Dick for now.
Herbert and Nathaniel are Harlem Globetrotters. The Earth will play the part of the Washington Generals. Team Globetrotters.
Gary and Matt are a father-son team. They have nothing in common. Boring team so far, no team nickname.
Garrett and Jessica are dating on and off. They met while studying abroad in Spain. Besides that they seem boring, no nickname.
Brian and Ericka are an interracial married couple. Oh so that's why they call it the Amazing Race. She was Miss America 2004. Team Interracial.
Eric and Lisa are Yoga Instructors. Ugh.
Sam and Dan are brothers and they are both gay. Team Gay Brothers
Zev and Justin are friends. Zev has Asperger's Syndrome, which makes him socially awkward. Team Asperger Syndrome in the house.
Mika and Canaan are newly dating. The girl looks hot, but I can't tell which one of these names is a girl name. They are country singers. Team Country.

some notes

Meghan and Cheyne: Team Breakfast Town
Maria and Tiffany: Team Poke ’em
Marcy and Ron: Team eHarmony

Team Globetrotter has an obvious advantage because they literally trot across globes, but I have my doubts about their sense of urgency, what with all the trotting.

Zev is probably socially awkward because he was named Zev.

What we learned from last season: Asians are the Amazing Race

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I like Team eHarmony

this will be interesting to see if eHarmony can pick a good Amazing Race partner for you.

Lance looks like a dick, too. Did you look at their picture? He’s the kind of guy who walks into a bar, and everybody says “who’s the dick?” Everybody, of course except the no-self-worth girls who think he will change for them. he is definitely sleeping around on Keri.
It’s Eric, not Erica, but he is a yoga instructor, so he probably sometimes pretends to be Erica.
Marcy and Ron appear to be only slightly past my age, so i take offense to the old reference, how about team get off my lawn?
Team Globetrotters will rule on challenges that involve fooling referees and throwing things through other things.
Cheyne’s parents need to be slapped with a wrongful naming suit. He will never become a doctor with a name like Cheyne. His name just screams “Hi. my name is Cheyne, and I’ll be your server tonight. Let me write my name upside down on your paper tablecloth so you will think I’m cool.”
I also predict that Lance will scream at Keri constantly, but will, in addition, make a lot of snide, un-clever comments about every other team, and will end up eliminated far too late in the game because most people will hate him by the end of the first episode.
i predict that, when they are eliminated in no later than the fifth round, the father will tear up talking about how proud he is of his son, and how amazing it has been to have this experience with him, but inwardly he’ll be thinking “I always thought you resembled the mailman”
First to go: Poker girls or team Get off my porch
