I think for me

Partners that let me know in advance and can acknowledge that they aren't good at some comps... are WAY more enjoyable to play race with. At least then I can expect a low score and if they actually do decent then I get a nice surprise. Like kimmie for example was such an enjoyable partner. Yes she may not be the best at all comps but at least she gave me a heads up so I knew when I needed to step my badussy up. The ones who like to pretend they don't suck ass and act all "ohhh this is just a game for fun I dont care if I win or lose"... then whine when I get mad at them... those are the insufferable ones like @HamtaruNugini. Like bitch play to win
