Biggest mistake you made in your previous season: Not drinking enough water and becoming dehydrated in Thailand. I fainted.
Most memorable moment from your first Race: Finishing in first place for the first leg of the Race.
Favorite place you visited on your first season: Thailand it was number one on my wish list for Season 14 so getting to go to both Bangkok and Phuket was fantastic.
Why do you want to run the Race again? It was one of the most exciting and best experiences of my life. I am looking forward to all the new places we will go.
How have you changed since the last time you competed? I am more confident and more willing to try new things.

People would be surprised to learn: Nothing, I'm pretty boring.
One location that you hope to go on this adventure: Ireland my grandparents are from there and I would love to see the country.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Some of the challenges require you to be able to listen/hear/sign and when those challenges come up we have to pick the other challenge since Luke is completely deaf. He cannot hear or use oral language.

Pet peeve about your teammate: He is a very loud eater.
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Retire a few years earlier than planned.
Any strategic changes you will make heading into this Race: We need to be more careful about reading the clues.

Way back in November hearing about this team coming back brought a big grin to my face. I loved these two. Watching Luke trying to complete the final roadblock still gets me as he I can tell he really wanted to do this for his bionic woman. I hope they make final 3 (too many favorites so i cant say for sure who i'd like to see win)

Me too.. I hope so, I want to rooting for them... Go Luke and Margie!! I know (too many my favorite so can't say and sure i like to see win..)
Zvarri:
I hope Luke isn't as whiny this time. And Margie should stop enabling him.
Jobby:
This two made me love TAR Episode #1 so much and inspired me so much after watching them win the leg.
Along the way.. because of the fact that TAR 14 teams are so awesome, i ended up liking Kisha and Jen, Victor and Tammy as well and lost some liking for them.
But i do have to agree with one fact that if the 2nd "allstars" did not include them, then i'll be really angry. They alone drove loads of viewership for TAR14 and garnered loads of fans!
I'm still a fan this time round, and i hope they surprise me!!
Go Margie and Luke!! :tup: :tup: :tup:
