I know the results of the first six episodes, but I've only seem the first three so far. I agree completely that it's finally brought the focus back to the competition in a meaningful way, and I am actually totally satisfied with the level of interactions we've gotten so far; whether it's totsllly opposite personalities within teams bouncing off each other, like Noah/Owen, Emma/Kitty, or Dwayne/Junior, or fantastic rivalries between teams, like the Cadets vs. Skaters, it's all just nonstop laughter for me the whole way through.

Back to Carrie/Devin: ...And? The point is that they're lifelong best friends who happen to be of the opposite gender. Again, this is even mentioned by Devin in Episode 2 - it's considered so rare/shocking for two friends of the opposite genders to just be friends for so long, and that's why this needs to be talked about more. The stereotype is that, in such a friendship, one will eventually develop feelings for the other and complicate things - and in a majority of such instances, it's the guy who gets feelings first. So that's an added bonus that in this case, the stereotype is flipped on its head with the girl falling for the guy first.
