Is it unfair to judge these people by a website bio and their pictures? Of course it is, but it’s too fun not to!
Terence and Sarah - She’s a Wall Street… something. He’s a “real estate agent” that sounds more like a kept man. In their favor is that he coaches runners. While the running part won’t save them I could see this team holding out quite a while.
Marisa and Brooke - "They want to prove to the world that they’re not just cute blondes and that they can be athletic, cut-throat competitors. "
Ahem.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
They’re so dead. A few “we’re not just hot” teams have held out for a while but I’ll predict they’ll be in the first three to go.
Andrew and Dan - They offer degrees in “tourism management”? I guess it’s better than an English degree for getting a job, but still…
So they’re frat boys. I predict relaxed attitudes will keep them in longer than expected but a physical task will take them out. I anticipate them to be the dark horses who don’t make it to the finals but everyone will be expecting to get eliminated each week.
Aja and Ty - They’re the long distance relationship which is only one step up from being on the race to work out their problems. I sense passive-aggressiveness ahead! These teams tend to start out strong and then fade so I’ll put them in as an early second half elimination.
Mark and Bill - Team Nerds whose plan is to “be strategic”. My money is on them wavering on “strategy” and cracking when something goes bad. Since on the Race nothing goes according to plan I’m going with a very early elimination for them.
Toni and Dallas - The mother and son team that doesn’t have a lot of information on them. If they’ve got a healthy relationship they could stick things out until near the end. If they start bickering the moment they hit the race they’re gone before the mid-point.
Nick and Starr - Despite the stupid name this brother/sister team has plenty going for it. Stage actor and professional cheerleader, plus I’d give siblings an edge on being able to deal with the personality problems that inevitably come up since they’ve already done that before. I’m putting them down for final three.
Anita and Arthur - Hippies. Not just hippies but old hippies. I’m counting on my bad vibes to eliminate them early.
Kelly and Christy - Best friends who don’t really have an interesting theme. The fact that one of them says that they can “do anything they put their mind to” is a bad sign since in the Race that usually translates to “We suck at racing but our pluckiness counts for something, right?”
Ken and Tina - Not just “wanting to spend time on their relationship” but an actually separated married couple? Keep the knives away from them. I suspect they’ll grit their teeth and hold out for the money to pay for their divorce attorneys giving them the motivation to go to the final three.
Anthony and Stephanie - There’s our more traditional dysfunctional couple.
