Pet peeve about your teammate: She likes to take pictures of her poop and text them to us (family).
What country and place would you most like to visit and why? I would like to visit just about every country in the world because it helps you appreciate our differences culturally and makes you a more well-rounded and empathetic person.

I LOVE them. Their bios are hilarious and I can't wait to see them on the Race.





No idea if their pose is intentional or not, but I hope they become epic like Jaime & Cara <3

Amazing role models and pre-season top three, for me. Such diverse backgrounds and positive, strong energy.

Their travel experience will really put them towards the top.

Shelley & Nici... :hoot:

Definitely the best mother-daughter duo we have encountered on the race to date. A lot of traveling experience as flight attendants, physical strength from the military, and high spirits! Maybe they can pull off an unexpecting 1st place finish like Christie & Jodi against the bodybuilder teams like Brooke & Robbie, Adam & Bethany, and Michael & Scott. I will be cheering for them throughout this season.

Shelley's commentary during the Roadblock was hilarious, love them! ;D

"Who digs? Apparently I do. *rolls eyes*"

Robbie: Could you show me how to do the compass?
Shelley: *sighs* I suppose.

*when Tim/Te Jay get the clue*
Shelley: See you at the Pit Stop.

*when Brook/Robbie find it*
Shelley: Boo, seriously? I tell you how to solve it and YOU find the treasure. *grunts*

Shelley: I don't think I've ever been more displeased to be on the beach in my entire existence.
Nici: I was like she should find this damn box so we could get off this damn beach and I could go get some food.

And who could forget...

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? I’m extremely proud of raising children that 1, don’t receive therapy and 2, still actively seek out my company.

Pet peeve about your teammate: She likes to take pictures of her poop and text them to us (family).

Why didn't I read this earlier... :funny: :funny: :funny:

I don't know about you, but if my daughter likes to take pictures of her poop, therapy is the first thing that comes to my mind.  :funny:

I cannot wait for next week's episode to see what that pit stop meltdown is all about. I hope it is something stupid like an embarrassing mother/daughter story of her pooping in the tub or something and not something INSANE like "I'm not your real mother."

Being realistic, it's most likely gonna be race / task related, E.g. One of them gives the wrong directions, and the other gets upset, and it escalates.  :lol:
