About the only good thing I can say about this concept is, it's better than blind dates. But I still think it sounds awful. They just want to turn this show into awkward social drama instead of racing to exotic locations and doing amazing things.

A few years ago, they did an all stars season where they ended up randomly pairing two people from different original teams when one racer's partner had to drop out at the last minute due to health reasons. It was totally uncomfortable to watch and the racers did not work well together, because they were either too worried about stepping on toes or their annoyance at what a stranger did threw them off.

I'm going on my own trip to an exotic location, so won't be around to make picks, so I'm not going to sign up for a draft this time, but I will checking back for updates as it goes along.
