One location that you hope to go on this adventure: Australia I've been to 80 countries, but I've never been there.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: We always felt we are our biggest challenges. We determine how we do, not the other teams.

Pet peeve about your teammate: He snores like you wouldn't believe!
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Invest some and donate some to charity.
Any strategic changes you will make heading into this Race: None! Just win!

:lol3: I guess I'm okay with them, I just didn't like what they did to Mika on the Leap of Faith. :'(
--- End quote ---
They didn't do anything to change the outcome really. She had enough issues of her own.
I'm not defending them, I don't really like them either, but that wasn't that bad IMO. I don't think anybody has to worry about them winning, they aren't very good at the Race. I'm surprised they made it as far as they did.
Prophet:
It's a sports tactic. Trash talking and intimidation is a huge part of their culture. I still don't think Mika would have ever done it though. You're going to definitely be limited on the Race if you have two huge phobias like she did.
Reilly Queens:
I'll add that that it is for a million. If I had to choose between 1,000,000 and a making a girl cry, 1 million definetly!
