mswood:
I actually think they make a very nice couple.  I really liked them.  Though they were never good racers.

I am still shocked and appalled by Mika's refusal to do the task.  And the fact that they were there for so long (I hope that Canaan started easy in attempts).  And I also admit that while he shouldn't have tried to pry her hands of the bar (he,he) I probably would have.  But I also have been raised to face my fears.  Things like Snakes, Heights, ect.  My parents would force me into situations to at least encounter them, and I never thought ill of them for it.  But just as I am sure Mika fear was enhanced by the pressures of the race, I am sure Canaan's reaction was also enhanced by the pressures of the race.

The worst thing is that Canaan is probably right.  When he stated that she would regret this for the rest of her life.  I think I Would as well.

Jeesan:
That's nice to know Mika & Canaan are still together :) I was kinda sad to read the post about their seperation and then elated to learn that it's just a rumour!

And I totally agree with you mswood, I too have altophobia and the proof of that is I don't take those 'capsule lifts' in malls cause I'm afraid of seeing the outside as I go higher and neither do I feel comfortable using simple overbridges to cross the road! But hey, if I were in the Race and had to do a height-related task, I'd just do it straight away as it would be THE TIME to overcome and conquer my fears cause firstly, it's a race and secondly, they wouldn't make you do something that's too risky or unsafe! And who isn't afraid of heights, Megan & Cheynne admitted too but they just went through it like that, if not for anything else, then just the Race.

I think the pressure of the race justifies Canaan's reaction more than Mika's fear. Mika could've just done it, maybe not straight away, but a few minutes later; I was really annoyed when she was just sitting there and playing with the water! Getting eliminated because of refusing to do a task a simple as that - quite a big regret to live with :( That said, I wish them the best of luck for their lives!

Jeesan:
Oh and here's a proof that Mika and Canaan are still together, this is Mika's twitter page: http://twitter.com/mikacombs
They still hang out together and looks like they are pretty good friend with Zev & Justin.  ;D

Quite a few season 15 racers are on twitter, I've found Canaan, Maria, Tiffany, Meghan, Cheyne, Zev, Justin, Jessica, Garrett, Sam and Matt. Not all of them are regular though and Garrett has 'protected his tweets'.
