Air:
iconic <3 love them i hope they continue doing well and stop being screwed over by bad leg design.
TARUSAFan:
Well deserved win on the 3rd Leg. That horrible Face-Off/Head-to-Head almost screwed them in Antwerp.

Yale alumni star on reality TV

After graduation, Yalies go on to succeed in medicine, law, the financial sector and a wide range of other fields. And recently, a few Yale alumni have broken into an area with a less distinct Yale presence — reality TV.
Evan Lynyak ’17 and Henry Zhang ’17 — a couple dubbed “Team Yale” who started dating after working as partners in the Yale Debate Association — are competing on Season 30 of CBS’s “The Amazing Race.” And Seinne Fleming ’12 is one of 15 remaining contestants vying for the heart of Arie Luyendyk on this year’s rendition of “The Bachelor.”
“We never imagined that we would be able to do something like this,” Zhang said of his time on the set of the Amazing Race. “It felt almost unreal.”
The Amazing Race follows 11 teams around the world as they compete to win a $1 million dollar grand prize. This season, Lynyak and Zhang travelled to Iceland, Belgium, Morocco, France, Zimbabwe and the Czech Republic. Challenges this season included a “SkyClimb,” in which teams climbed a ladder hanging from a moving crane, and navigating the streets and rooftops of foreign cities.
The two were selected for the show after CBS reached out to the YDA seeking a Yale debate couple. They then had to navigate a series of interviews, physicals and psychological tests before earning spots on the show.

Musicon:
The geeky team, adding some needed variety.
Marionete:
They're well beyond being defined as just 'geeks'.
They are really smart, sure, but I love their personalities as well, and they have lively team dynamics.
A really fun team to watch and root for! :cheer:
