TAR7: Ray Hosteau & Deana Shane - Dating On and Off
« on: December 19, 2009, 12:10:35 AM »
Okay, since we're in the off-season, and spoilers seem slim, I thought I'd create a little diversion for us. Let's discuss the teams from a past season who don't have threads. How about TAR 7?



RAY & DEANA
Dating On and Off


Ray & Deana are a dating team from Canfield, Ohio and Youngstown, Ohio respectively. Ray is a stockbroker and Deana is a marketing and promotions executive. Their primary motivation for participating in this Race is to put their on-again/off-again relationship to the test and see how they fare.

Ray, who is 17 years older than Deana, has worked as a stockbroker for 18 years. A former college and semi-professional football player, Ray describes himself as cocky and admits that he’s never wrong about anything. He enjoys weightlifting, singing and karate.

Deana is admittedly just as determined and competitive as her teammate. She grew up camping in the backwoods of Ohio and has never traveled outside the United States. Deana’s favorite hobbies include lifting weights, karate, hunting and fishing.

Both admit they are looking for some answers to what the future holds for their relationship and are hoping the Race will provide some.

The way he treats his girlfriend, and fellow racers?

Racer mode is sometimes different from real life.

He is very well liked and respected post race, and remains a great supporter of TAR.

I kinda thought so. I realize he can be a very intense guy, but I always kinda suspected he got a bad edit.

After TAR14 and all of the "Jaime is a b***h" edit, I think that both Ray and Johnathan (TAR6) got the shortest end of the stick.
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Years ago over at Survivor Sucks, Ray posted in his thread and owned up to all of his actions on the program.  He was a stand up guy.

His and Deena's Fast Forward walk across the top of the Cooling Station in South Africa remains one of the scariest tasks I have ever seen on the show.

He is still a stand up guy!

That task sounds even scarier when you hear them tell how the helicopters were hovering just overhead, so the little bridge/path was being severely shaken and blown by the copter.

I'll second that about Ray. Has been very responsive to anyone who e-mails him or talks to him in person. I disliked him on the show. I like him a lot now.
Just here to visit.
