104. Akbar & Sheri (The Amazing Race 33, 6th place) [11/11]
It takes a lot to just REALLY get under my skin so most of the extremely scathing write-ups are pretty much out of the way, but the next few entries are still pretty awful. Right from episode 1 I did not like Akbar because he was just constantly berating Sheri and while I can appreciate a good bickering couple (see teams like Teri & Ian, Tim & Marie and Frank & Margarita being among my all-time favorites), when its a mostly one-sided roast of the stronger teammate constantly telling the weaker teammate how much they suck, I dislike/hate it. A couple of the challenges Sheri did worst on she was FORCED to do because Akbar literally couldnt do it for safety reasons due to his size (I mostly put this on the producers actually; its been speculated that at least one of those Roadblocks Moe was forced to do as well due to Michaels size, so its kind of irresponsible on the producers part to pick challenges that multiple racers literally cant do) and he still constantly screamed at her. There were a few lulls in this behavior which made me want to give them a chance but then it would pick back up again the next episode. And of course, after all this, they end up being eliminated because Akbar struggles on a physical challenge after all the grief he gave his wife for the same exact thing. By that point I was so sick of him that I couldnt even appreciate the irony. If anything it just pissed me off more. If this were a boring season that had, like, next to zero likable/rootable teams, I could MAYBE see myself appreciating him as a villain, but when, despite the disastrous production, most of the endgame teams were very enjoyable (kinda spoilers I guess) and there were even some likable teams that we lost due to the break, I just couldnt.

103. Was unconventionally eliminated AND officially placed last in their season (wow, we kinda actually had a lot of these...)
