The Amazing Race > The Racers
TAR 23: Travis Jasper & Nicole Jasper "Married - ER Physicians"
Marionete:
I'm probably not going to say anything new, but still... They were one of my favourites early on, an interesting & competitive team, but I just couldn't stand Travis for his behaviour towards Nicole in the past few legs. As somebody already said above, good Lord they came third! :cmaslol I was actually rooting for the Afghanimals to make final 3 (but not win pls!) in Tokyo, although I couldn't stand them for the first half of the race :cmas27
What I'm really hoping for, is that Travis sees his flaws after watching the season and really starts to treat Nicole better :cmas26 I usually like those so called 'bickering couples' in the race, because they really bring something into the race, maybe make it more intense or so, but I don't ever want to see a Jonathan & Victoria 2.0 or in this case, a Travis & Nicole 2.0... I just felt sad for Nicole and she didn't even say anything back to Travis... just kept crying all the time :cmas4
TexasLady:
My favorites too but good lord, the way he treated her the last few legs was terrible! I was yelling at the television.. If you could have done it better, why didn't you!
As someone pointed out to me, Nichole pulled herself up the ice with only one ice pick. That must have taken immense will power to keep going to make it to the top. I found myself wishing he would have given her encouragement, telling her she could do it to help her calm down.
I didn't mind them not helping Marie with the eggs. She certainly never helped them.
krabbe:
I don't mind them not telling Marie about the eggs, but Travis & Jason telling Jamal to lie to Marie when their beef with the afganimals was that the boys are liars was very hypocritical. Making others do their dirty work for them but still preaching about running a 'clean' race = :cmas11
couchracer:
Travis acted like a spoiled brat. He said something about how well they did until the last 4 roadblocks, putting the blame on Nicole(you are a team-remember). Nicole was apologizing and he was mean spirited. Will the children ask why did Daddy make Mommy cry?

Elimination Interview: Travis and Nicole
Posted on Dec 9, 2013 06:15pm
Nicole and Travis came in third on The Amazing Race! Read what they had to say about their time on the Race and if they would change anything about their experience!
Cindy G: What country was the nicest? What country would you go back and visit again?
Travis: I thought that Lisbon, Portugal with the castle and the view was gorgeous. Nicole and I both agreed that we were most surprised with how beautiful it was in Poland with the beach. Truthfully, I would go back to all of them if I could.
Patricia S: Why was it such a big deal that the cousins lied when it didnt affect you at all? I know you don't like liars but it had nothing to do with you, just run your race.
Travis: I think you have a good point that it did not affect our Race at all. What bothered us is that we feel the Race is also about relationships. We were not there to make friends but a part of any good relationship is being honest and sincere.
Alejandro C: Travis, Why are you so hard on your wife, I think she is trying her best.
Travis: You know, you have to know our relationship. Nicole is like a power wife at home and actually very dominant in our relationship. Part of it was that this was the first time she was in a position where she had to listen to me. It was more a teaching moment for me and the rest of it was frustration because I don't like to lose. I was utterly surprised to see her struggle. As hard as I can be I am probably more supportive and that is the part that is usually in private.
Brock P: What was the hardest roadblock for each team?
Travis: Nicole was the most frustrated with the angklung. Some of the most challenging things were the ones we did together.
Paloma P: What did you learn about yourself, and about your partner?
Travis: First, I learned that she is actually human and has some flaws. In recognizing that I realize she is much more talented than most people. For me, I learned that an exercise in humility is not enough when it comes to patience, supporting and understanding.
Kathy S: If you could go back and change one part of the Race - what part would it be?
Travis: If I could change one thing I would probably do the angklung. If I could have done that I think it would have changed Nicole's confidence. I think that was a defining moment.
