Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on The Race together: I know this might come as a shocker to people, but it's quite possible we might have issues with physical tasks.

Well, there is a Kim, and there is a Getz....but they are not one person. :lol:

And I like this team. They both seem like strong feisty women who will be great fun to watch. They are both extraordinarily involved with their communities, and with charitable and fund raising events. Less like Amanda I can't imagine.

I like this team. Even though they qualify as semi-celebrities, it doesn't seem like they want to run the Race just to gain the attention. I think they will be a lot like Mona & Beth, only less negative and more optimistic.

My eyes just got blinded by their looks (sorry I'm superficial). SUCH A GREAT TEAM TO LOOK AT. #MICHAELWOULDAGREE

They remind me of a mix between Jaime/Cara and Kelly/Christy... which I didn't really like. But also Caroline and Jennifer, which I adore!

Can't wait to see how they perform on this race! Hopefully they kick-ass! <3

Off-topic, but just have to say, too bad for Kim's husband, whose team just got eliminated from the playoffs.

And it looks like they won't get the 2nd EP.

I like them too. Great team support for each other and they are obviously not as physically strong as the other teams but who says the race should only consist of strong alpha type teams? :res:

I like them too. In the end, I think they could be going on by beating one team each leg. I don't think they may win any leg, but their supportive attitude may bring them further if they are able to do enough to not be last.
