1. I see it as a form of psych warfare on their part. You saw everybody getting distracted and taking time to complain about them. Classic sports move.


2. For me, I guess it doesn't bother me so much because at least they're not indulging in truly obnoxious behavior. That Big Brother couple just about drove me insane with their constant crying, whining, and abusing of each other. At least the twins stay positive and focus on winning. I loved the last episode, when the contestants were separated into bunches by arriving late for the train. The twins were in the second bunch and instead of fussing, simply said, "We going to focus on being first out of this group." Exactly! :up

I think the Twins are trolling the other teams on purpose too. They are hyper active and a bit shady for sure.

Same here! and Monster truck guy( who is not a favourite of mine) thanked everyone on each leg of the race , and said sir a couple of times. He was upset one time, and we saw that in the previews as if he was rude/upset all the time. No, I am still glad team mopey face are gone

I'm not sure it's smart, long term, to try and psych the other teams out, at least not at this point in the race. They may end up needing some help further down the line, and if enough of the rest of the teams find them not only competitive but irritating as well, then it means they're that much less likely to want to form even a temporary alliance with them. I'm also not so sure how much the shouted encouragement actually helps. That first week, the twin who was being shouted at didn't seem entirely happy about it, and in some situations, where concentration and focus are required, I could see it being distracting to the person it's supposedly helping too.

And just for the record, I've noticed this with other teams in the past too, and I've always found it annoying. It's not just the twins. In fact, I'm not sure it's even both the twins, since one of them seems more gung-ho about the yelling than the other.

I like the twins because even though they are loud, they are funny. I love Chip&Dale as well.

I'm already sick of the whole "twinny" thing, and I only have to listen from a distance. The rest of them are right there having to hear the constant shouting. Heck, if I were her "twinny," I'd be telling her to shut up myself, so I don't blame the rest of the racers for being irritated.

As loud as they are they are too funny. I love them:lol

I could do without the excessive volume of N/N and the monster trucker guy, but I don't think that makes them psychotic, just loud.

The twins are proably calling them that because of what they did off camera lol!
