Do you think they have an advantage of carrying a trolley bag instead of a backpack ? :groan:

Their trolley bag turns into a backpack when needed, I love it! :yess:
And I loved how brave Jodi was about the bungy, and how supportive Christy was for her, and she even cried a little for her...
And I thought they were awesome with the cheese! They made up a lot of time there!
Love these ladies, can't wait to see more! :hearts:

Before the premier, they were my least fave all-female team. Now they're in fact on-par with the other 2.. just that there's no space in my banner to include yet another team. :lol:

Oklahoman starts ‘The Amazing Race’ strong, but …
Posted by televisionon February 16, 2009 at 7:19 am
Christie Volkmer from Choctaw was this close to being eliminated on the Season 14 premiere episode of “The Amazing Race.”
She and teammate Jodi Wincheski of Houston, both flight attendants for Southwest Airlines, started off strong, reaching the race’s first destination — Locarno, Switzlerland — in first place. But they were in sixth place when they reached the first road block — a bungee jump off Verzasca Dam, which Jodi did while Christie cried nervously — and they were the last to complete the task of transporting 200 pounds of cheese down a hill at Kleine Rugen Weise.
But they knew what to do to stay in the race, and that was run as fast as they could in the final stretch to the pit stop in Stechelberg. They finished about 10 paces ahead of Preston and Jennifer from Columbia, S.C.
Christie also knows what attracts viewers to “The Amazing Race,” which has won all six Emmy Awards handed out for outstanding reality-competition program.
“I see people come on (the plane) and they are stressed to the max,” she said. “By the time they check in at the gate, go through security, then are selected to do more security, they’re frustrated, they’re running late and they’re at each other’s throats. And they’re going on vacation. They’re supposed to be happy.
“The formula for the race spans over such a long period of time and you’re exhausted, you’re hungry, you’re tied, you’re mad at yourself, you’re mad at your teammate and you’re trying to be strong for each other. It’s interesting for people to watch the relationships unfold and how people grow within it. And they might relate to one or more of the teams in their own life and the way they deal with their family and friends.”
