First impression...

By Look: Fit & athletic, competitive couple!
By Video: They seem really smart and like nice people. They give me Chip & Kim vibes for some reason.
Overall Impression: I think they'll be a likable team and serious at the same time while racing. They could go far, but they seem like the kind of team who would go out after making a poor decision(s).

I agree with you! They could quickly become one of my favorites, and I could see them doing very well.

Strong, but kind of boring IMO?

Prediction: F5 and above.

Ranking: Middle tier of interestingness, could fall if nobody is obnoxious and everybody is boring.

Yes I agree airlineguys, they seem a bit monotone but it's probably because of their profession (kinda cold, got the same vibe from Hoskote)
Maybe they'll need 2-3 legs before they loosen up and we warm to them.

I like this team! It's been a long time since I liked a married couple team and I think that this team will do well. The only team that I think has the vibe in this team is Ken & Tina. The best married (or re-married) couple team ever! :cheer:

It's a combination of TK & Rachel and Chip & Kim.  Awesome, nice couple, as mentioned, but good enough to win. Not alpha-male like or Dave & Rachel like, but enough to survive and then win when it matters the most.
Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

I think they will win as long as they don't become targets for the U-turn. This is because people might U-turn them especially if they are seen as smart.

Once they don't over-analyse things. That could be there downfall, or of course, if they become a target for the Uturn.

I really like this team but they need to pay more attention...

Loosing their fanny pack? missreading the final clue? (:;)

Still rooting for them :)

They totally are! I was watching a marathon of that show earlier today and they both came on. :colors
I totally wouldn't have noticed it until I saw your post. Someone else on Reddit said the exact same thing.

if Tim and Marie ended up giving them the EP, and they were u-turned due to their possession of the 2nd EP from Tim and Marie, that'll floor me  :funny:

but seriously though, they're the ones to beat

I'm rooting for this team, they are smart and the most important thing for me, they are enjoying the experience.

But I also have this feeling that they are going to screw up a little detail or forgetting something so I just hope thy get far.

Nicole's "I want the express pass!" move on Marie is just way too good not to root for.
