Umass, thanks for calling me a punk and a moma's boy. I'm proud to have an awesome mother to run the race with me :-) Just want to remind you that the race is pretty stressful so it can bring the worst out of people. It's just easy for you to call me like that just because you get to relax on couch while watching us racing around the world and fighting from being the last place team. You'll change your perpective of racers and teams once you experience the stress on the race. Amazing Race was one of incredible things I have done but at same time, it was one of hardest thing I have done.

Luke is such a sore loser. He was saying how it is nothing speacial that Victor and Tammy won and that if him and his mom or even the cheerleaders won it would make it a more intersting win. cuz a deaf kid would have won or an all female team winning but with Victor and Tammy it was nothing speacial just a brother and sister team. Well yeah but has there ever been an Asian American team to win? I know there is an Asian version of TAR but in the American version so far none till now.

But back to the interview just his tone made me annoyed at him. While I like Margie I am no longer a luke fan. The video is posted on CBS's website for TAR. Wonder what others think about his interview. And if my view is in the minority in here

Crickettu, I'm sorry that it made your blood broil. I wish I have said it differently on that day but there is nothing that I could change about it. Just that I was being interviewed right after the race's over on that day, of course, I was pretty upset at that point since one very last surfboard piece prevented my mom and me from winning the Amazing Race. I was so disappointed at myself and I felt like I let my family and deaf community down a big time. Try imagine yourself in my shoe about coming very close from winning the whole race. So close... Also, other reason that I was upset with Tammy and Victor winning because I knew Nick and Starr won the race so it made me feel like that we didn't need another team of brother + sister wins the race so soon. Don't forget that I am a big fan of the show! I would have much prefer to see Cara and Jaime to win since we never had an all female winners before so it would be cool to have something new and different.  But, we got our first Asian winners so it's really great! Now, I'm really happy for Tammy and Victor for their win. They really deserved it. They worked their butts off for it. I'm proud of them.  :jam: Just that I had so many emotions swirled up in me and I didn't get to sleep for over 36 hours when I was being interviewed on that day. It was a hard day for me.

georgiapeach:
Very, very nicely said Luke! Thanks for explaining.

I don't think anyone who hasn't experienced what you all went through can begin to appreciate the stress you all are under during the race, and how hard it is to come so close at the end.

One of the things I love about about your season is the way you all have bonded after the race. While there of course are always some conflicts during the race, you all seem to have been able to move past those conflicts and I think you and your Mom have have been nothing but gracious in your interviews.

Season 14 will always have a special place in my heart, love you all!

:ghug:

DrRox:
Nice response, Luke. That was exactly what I thought after looking at your interview.
