I\u2019ve only watched one full episode &amp; two halves of this season\u2019s Amazing Race, and I didn\u2019t pay enough attention to avidly dislike any of them (except Jonathan, who sort of forces you to dislike him immediately).<br \/>\n<br \/>As the end of the show crept nearer, I heard a squawk: \u201cDATING MODELS?\u201d<br \/>\n<br \/>And then I did laugh out loud. \u201cHoney, they have dating models on every season.
