I am really proud of myself that I did really well on the race as being a first deaf person to appear on the Amazing Race. It was kind of funny that my team was never been in danger of being eliminated till the finale episode, we fell down to the last place.

It was on another message board. People think they know, but they don't know and I'm glad you wrote this. They assume things and they feel they have the answer for everything.

I have no questions and just wanna thank Luke for being so kind to all of us TAR fans who have so many questions for him and he never fails to answer any single one of them! Thanks for keeping us with something to do even when there's no TAR! It has been fun watching you and your mom racing!

About the special treatment, we saw that at the paragliding roadblock, hte racer had to be able to hear in order to take part in it, so my question is: where there any other Roadblocks you were (indirectly) told you could not do?

I'm back!!!
That's a good question. Originally, my Mom and I agreed that I would do paragliding roadblock since she isn't a fan of heights. Soon as we read more information, it mentioned that it required that person who perform the roadblock to be able to hear his/her instructor for the instruction of how to landing - just for the safety reason. We were left with no option so Mom had to do that roadblock. Probably a good thing that she did it since she's an excellent runner and she rocked the run down the mountain! That was only one time happened on the whole race that concerned the safety of being able to hear.
Since we're on that topic, if we were given a special treatment then there wouldn't be any musical/dancing tasks on the race and I would be able to sit front in car to communicate with my Mom while driving instead of me sitting behind her. But, it didn't happened. We were treated like as other racers. I thought it's kind of funny that my Mom and I had to drive ourselves in Siberia's Leg 5 and we still managed to win that leg. The driving part wasn't easy for both of us but we overcame it. At the start line where we had to drive ourselves to LAX, I told my Mom that we should follow Tammy and Victor to the airport since I thought Victor might be from LA and it paid off for us since we had no idea how to get to LAX! I wish they showed the driving part from the start line to LAX - it would be fun for viewers. A lot of funny stuff happened.
Now, I have a question for y'all. I think I read someone's post that there was a direct flight from Novosibirsk to Jaiuper or New Delhi once a week? That would have been much easier than going through Moscow!

Heh, short answer? No. :lol: Wikipedia (and we all know how reliable it is) said there was a plane to Delhi, but checking the schedules the flight certainly didn't apply to the week of racing.
If it was TAR1-style no-rules get-there-as-fast-as-you-can racing though, you could have probably made:
Depart Pit Stop at 12.18am
S7863 to Beijing: 0150-0750
CZ3162 to Guangzhou: 1015-1310
CZ359 to Delhi: 1730-2055
Judging by the timings, it'd probably have put the top three teams the previous leg way ahead of the others. And who were they?
...
You guys, Tammy/Victor, and Jaime/Cara.
We know the producers forced you guys through Moscow though!

Hello, Luke.
On the twop Tarcon 14 recap, it says that your Mom said that the show was "the worst thing ever" the first time that she watched it.
Which episode was her first? What changed her mind about the show?
Thanks.
