Here's an article on them.

Well, it's true I dislike them. But here's the thing:
I am sure they are nice, wholesome people. The articles just proves my hunch.
I always make sure to try and separate the racers on the show with who they are in real life, because it is unbelievable how editing can change someone drastically. So when I judge as annoying, cocky, egotistical, hypocritical, unfunny. I am judging the Art and JJ from the Amazing Race, not the Art and JJ in real life. It's completely different.
btw, still don't like them
Best Loser:
I can't believe I'm going to quote him, but Nick from Season 17 made a good point. He said in an interview something like "Viewers aren't judging the people Nick & Vicky, they're judging the characters Nick & Vicky."
So the people who are saying that Art & J.J. are doing good things in real life because it feeds their ego (Nobody here is saying this), those people are stupid. These two are good guys in real life, but from the scenes on TV they are smug, smug, smug (but they're also a really strong team). Even watching some of the bonus scenes online make them look better.

I will give you the best possible reason they shouldn't win. Because there are smarter, faster and equally strong teams in this competition. I will cite both Rachel and David and Brendon and Rachel in that category.
no spoilers please

I do not agree that Brendon and Rachel are faster and smarter than them. Art and JJ have consistently placed higher than them. Only once did they beat them and that was when they were second and Art/JJ were third. That was also the only leg in which Brenchel had a chance to come out on top, every other time they have been substantially behind the leader. On the other hand Art and JJ have won three legs.
