Kacper:
I like his videos on youtube and after his new video :

 
i can say that this episode will have a big ratings  :jumpy: :yess:..cuz people put comments like :
"Are you for serious? Cause I never watched Amazing Race but I will if you are on...."

or


"i don't i ever watched Amazing Race before but if Jumba team is on, i'm definitely watching! i wish you guys good luck! my suggestion is to bring a lucky charm perhaps? :)"

Vitoko:
Guys i'm kind of confuse about this team...

How did Kevin even apply to the race if he is 20 years old... I thought you have to be 21 years old to do it, because of the passport and other travel documentary :S

I know in TAR8 kids were allow to compete but it was a totally different kind of race :/
