OMG Nicky lives in Troy... Michigan!

Kim getz reminds me of Amanda on big brother 15!
-
Kim getz reminds me of Amanda on big brother 15!
Well, there is a Kim, and there is a Getz....but they are not one person. :lol:
And I like this team. They both seem like strong feisty women who will be great fun to watch. They are both extraordinarily involved with their communities, and with charitable and fund raising events. Less like Amanda I can't imagine.
-
Cheering for them!! :conf:
-
I like this team. Even though they qualify as semi-celebrities, it doesn't seem like they want to run the Race just to gain the attention. I think they will be a lot like Mona & Beth, only less negative and more optimistic.
-
My eyes just got blinded by their looks (sorry I'm superficial). SUCH A GREAT TEAM TO LOOK AT. #MICHAELWOULDAGREE
They remind me of a mix between Jaime/Cara and Kelly/Christy... which I didn't really like. But also Caroline and Jennifer, which I adore!
Can't wait to see how they perform on this race! Hopefully they kick-ass! <3
-
#HOOKYWOULDAGREETOO :lol:

THIS.
Also, #MIKKOWOULDAGREETOO
-
If they turn out to be like Jaime/Cara, I may love them!

WHAT GODDESSES <3 They aren't even really that interesting, they just seem like GODDESSES <3
Placement: F6 and above, hopefully above.
Ranking: Top tier goddesses <3
-
Loving this team so far! :luvya:
-
Definitely rooting for them!
-
Love them!
-
Is it just me that is annoyed with the whining? :/
-
Off-topic, but just have to say, too bad for Kim's husband, whose team just got eliminated from the playoffs.
And it looks like they won't get the 2nd EP.
-
LOVE this team! :hrt: :luvya:
-
Wow, I haven't gotten a sense of whining from them at all!! Just a HUGE amount of love and support for each other through some VERY tough race moments!! I like them!! :hearts:
-
I like them too. Great team support for each other and they are obviously not as physically strong as the other teams but who says the race should only consist of strong alpha type teams? :res:
-
I like them too. In the end, I think they could be going on by beating one team each leg. I don't think they may win any leg, but their supportive attitude may bring them further if they are able to do enough to not be last.
-
Me watching TAR:
During the bus ride: YAY! My two faves are in an alliance!
During the preview: Oh no. Oh God no.
-
I just can't get to like this team :(
-
I just can't get to like this team :(
Same here...
-
Just 1 question though. What do they call each other? Bunny? Bonny? :kuss:
-
Bunny :res:
-
They are such goddesses! <33333
Bunnies :luvya:
-
They are playing a very intelligent game. I hope they stay in long.
-
Bunnies <3333333333
-
After this episode, they are officially one of my new favorite F/F teams :lol:
-
I just can't get to like this team :(
Same here...
I want to publicly announced I change my mind.
They just play such a smart move going to a executive instead of the waiting at the desk.
They went up on my list so fast is not even funny.

Me too, I judged too quickly
-
I think they planned this race well. You got to use your brains in the race, and even if u are not physically as strong as other teams, there are ways to beat others.
-
It's just one move and how many times in recent seasons did flights make a difference but simply bunched teams up?
Many.
I like them well enough, they are supportive, friendly and nice. But just wished they will race a little faster.

Agreed, they kind of walked through leg 3 while teams 1 & 2 were having a battle for first. They disappeared after they left the airport.
-
They need Caroline and Jennifer's luck to make the Final 4.
-
and some Brent & Josh luck
-
and some Brent & Josh luck
I don't remember Brent & Josh being epic or good.
-
They were mehh, but the luck they had -__-
-
I think they should try and move a little faster too. They could do well if they get their act together.
-
I seem to usually love F/F teams, I just can't help it :D
And it's the same with this team, I'm so happy for their 9th-3rd climb! And the move they made in the airport... :hrt:
But yup, if they wanna stay at the top, they gotta move FASTAH!! :hearts:
-
you gotta admit though they bumped themselves from last place to TOP 3! even with just a small simple move. doesn't really matter they should race faster or whatevs ...
in my book, as long as you finish in TOP 3, dang! you're in the Final! right?
they were more than 6 HOURS behind. SIX!!!!! it wasn't even an equalizer flight!
still not a a fan but credit goes where its due :)
-
They have climbed up on my favorites list, too. It was actually pretty funny to see them freak Marie out! :lol:
I think they will be around for a while, actually. They are learning and improving as time goes on, which tends to be a good indicator of longevity in the Race. Teams that only maintain one constant level of performance without improving are usually the ones that fall out earlier.
-
Kim's children are called Spidey and Baboo. Are you serious or are they nicknames....

:umn:
:groan:
Still love them though :P
-
Trainwreck bottomgoddesses <33333
-
They are such a mess, I love them even more! :funny:
-
Confession time: I feel so identified by Kim, I ALWAYS lost stuff that I have on my hands, usually pencils and drawing related stuff but still, I can blame her for that.
-
They are the team whom I see as taking a stroll in the park all the time.
-
I laughed so hard when Kim turned frantic looking for the clue and it was just in her mouth! :funny:
But it happens to me also :lol:
-
Kim's children are called Spidey and Baboo. Are you serious or are they nicknames....
LOL the first time I heard it I thought it was spelled Speidi, like the celeb couple name, which is even worse than that :lol:
:hrt: them by the way. Love how they are such a trainwreck :hearts:
-
A walking trainwreck :funny:
-
Really? I am not seeing trainwreck at all here.... Cute, funny, smart, a bit overwhelmed here and there maybe.
I like them!
-
They are such a bubbly team but casually making their way through each leg :)
-
between the Ice girls and these two, I without a doubt prefer them as the Female-Female team to root for ...
:cheer:
I am not quite sure what else they could possibly bring on the table, but I am definitely looking forward .. :hoot:
-
I think they should speed up a little. They are racing well though.
-
I like these girls a lot. They're just like "This is the hardest thing i've ever done" in every tasks. But i like the way they handle and get out of them with their positive attitude.
I think they will make it far. Underdogs never get kick off soon. :funny:
-
They're making up for the disappointing performance by being hilarious! So much love!
-
I dont think they have targets on their backs. They wont get uturned i think because others think they are weak, but they are smart.
-
Someone needs to edit the wiki page. The roadblock count should be 3-3 shouldn't it?

Good game so far. They still look good.
-
Damn, they could've finished 1st if they hadn't missed that U-Turn sign! :groan:
Such a trainwreck team, that's why I love 'em :hrt:
-
IKR? They always do well in Odd-numbered legs (1,3,5) but suck at even numbered legs (2,4).
-
I like them a lot more than what I expected. :funny:
-
Damn they lost another 1st place again.
IF ONLY Nicole did the singing Roadblock & sucked at it... IF ONLY.
Then they would have beaten the Afghanimals for 1st by a few seconds.. just imagine that :lol:
-
If it's not a physical tasks, they'll do good.
And when they decided not to touch Jason & Amy cab even the cab driver took their bags out, I like them a lot more. :luvya:
-
MA GOD!!!
Please don't screw up another 1st place in the upcoming legs ...!!!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
This team :hrt:
Nicky/Kim goddesses stay strong <3
-
They're doing a lot better than I expected!
Go Nicky & Kim! :hoot:

I honestly think they won't win any legs this season LOL. But please please surprise me. PLEASE.

-
Daamn, when the cab driver took Jamy's bags out, I thought FOR SURE they were gonna steal the cab :ascared
-
They got beaten by cods.
They ran passed the Uturn.
They always put ethics first more than anything.
They lost another 1st place because they couldn't sprint.
Who else but these goddesses!
:hearts: :hearts:
-
They play honest. Glad they left the taxi alone.
-
Ugh last for them </3
I really hope they power through the next leg :(
-
Agreed.
Please survive, Bunnies! <33333
-
Me too! I really want the bunnies to go all the way! :cheer: Go BUNNIES!
P.S Who else thought that the bunnies look really good in the abayas at the Grand Mosque? :<3
-

Cannot believe how much my opinion has changed on these two! :cheer:
-
That moment when they asked whether the plane was beautiful and the snacks were delicious :DDDDDDDDDDD
By the way, did anybody notice that there wasn't a word of speed bump? Maybe there will be none like in TAR17?
-
They have to do it. Check in the ep. 8 thread.

Amazing team. They were jost loving each other as much as possible, taking care and learned sooo much during the race. It is always great to have such teams make it far (reminds of Caroline and Jen too) <33

I really like their attitude... if only they won Leg 6 :(

I really like their attitude... if only they won Leg 6 Marie ultimately gave them EP :(

ELIMINATION INTERVIEW: NICKY AND KIM
POSTED ON NOV 18, 2013 01:50PM
Read what Baseball Wives Nicky and Kim had to say about being eliminated from the Race, and if they have any hard feelings toward the team who U-Turned them!
Evan V: If you got to the u-turn first, would you have u-turned anyone?
Kim and Nicky: Not unless we were battling for last place.
Aaron H: Do you have any resentment towards Tim and Marie for U-Turning you?
Kim: I don't think it's good to hold resentment. We got over it that day and we understand it's part of the race.
Cassie G: What team would you like to win and why?
Nicky: Probably the Ice Queens because they are the only surviving all-girl team. Also, Jason and Amy so they could use their winnings for a ring!
David J: After completing the Speed Bump, do you feel the fears you said you exhibited are lessened now that you have conquered it?
Kim: I definitely feel like the race helped me overcome a lot of my fears.
Melissa W: So sorry that you girls got eliminated. I was rooting for you both from the beginning... If you could of change something you had done in the race to help yourselves what would of it been? Or how would you of done it differently?
Kim: Thanks for the support! We probably would have tried to kiss up to Marie a little to try and get that express pass. Who knows if it would have worked though!
Kevin K: What was your favorite and least favorite part of the race?
Nicky: My favorite part of the race was all the times we laughed so hard and all the beautiful places we got to visit and the different cultures we experienced. My least favorite part was probably being sleep deprived. Overall, it was a very positive experience!
Bayron M: Looking back at your experience is there anything that you think you could've prepared differently for?
Nicky: Yes, I think we could have done some more training with our backpacks because they were so heavy! We could have probably left our hair products at home!
Maria S: What did your husbands think of you being on the race?
Nicky and Kim: Chris and Dave were both really proud of us. Before we left, they thought we were going to be the first teams eliminated so the fact that we made it to sixth place is great. They are so proud of us!
-
Maybe this was already known, but it was news to me. From the odd coincidences department via a question on Twitter:
Dave Rosenthal @daverosenthal27 17m
@KimDeJesus9 Was it weird that you were a contestant on Amazing Race with one of your husbands college teammates, Tim Sweeney? I know both
-
I think Kim told him about that in one of the early episodes, Chile maybe?
-
I think Kim told him about that in one of the early episodes, Chile maybe?
Yeah, there was a brief segment of it during the bus ride from Iquique to Santiago

Oh, that explains it. I missed most of the second episode and my attempt to record it failed. I figured I'd get around to watching it online, but haven't done so yet.
-
Cod Queens/Bunnies :torche
Such Goddesses need to return soon :(
As a fan of the bunnies, the episode was heartbreaking to watch. They were last the whole leg but they never gave up. Their determination to finish the leg was admirable even though they were basically last the whole time. With them gone, the only other teams I want to win are Jamy and Marie :lol:
-
I got false vibes when the season began because of Kim's (the shorter one?) moaning in the first episode, but they've made the biggest change a team has made for me. I loved them! Easily in my top 5 female teams ever, dare I say passing out my beloved Natalie/Nadiya? :funny: (okay not quite yet) :funny:
-
Annnnnnnddddd..... They Got A Montage at the end. This MUST mean something in the NOT-TAR24 future :lol:
-
Annnnnnnddddd..... They Got A Montage at the end. This MUST mean something in the NOT-TAR24 future :lol:
TAR 25? :funny: :funny:
-
Their boot ep was super sad to watch even though I'm not really a big fan of them. I have to admit, they grew on me :lol:
I'll miss the Bunny Energy for the rest of the Race </3
-
Pretty much sucks that they were the better of the two F/F teams, and less boring. I wasn't too upset over their boot, since they were spared, but it did suck to see them go.
-
Since UB these two girls have been my second favourite FF team! They are totally what the race is about, wealthy or not.
-
My FAV FF ever <33333
They were so robbed for not being ask back for all star. :( :( But whatever, I'm glad that they don't have to participate in that horrid route and cast. lol
Hope they're back in the next returning season. <33333 It's been around 2 years but I still can't get over their elimination. :'( MISS BOAT BY 2 SECOND! TIM & MARIE U-TURN THEM OVER 3++ MORE TEAM THAT ARE STRONGER THAN THEM!
-
Random Bunny lovebump too tbh <3
I was really disappointed they weren't cast on TAR24 (they were my faves next to Marie TBH) but even with them on it, TAR24 would have been a complete disaster so yay bunnies <3
Return for the next returnees please <3
