Pat loves this program although I have always assumed it was fixed. Regardless I thought that a great team would be Janine and I. I could take on the challenges where you eat disgusting animal entrails and work on the geography. Janine could handle the physical challenges and the puzzles. I can easily see myself doing the water ballet given my sense of rythym,
Now there is no question Meagan, Andra, James or even Robbie could also have been my partner. Robbie probably would not have been a starter as we would not be able to settle on who eats the fish entrails challenges.
The reason for selecting Janine is the arguing that would have ensued. The program loves the in-fighting and Janine and I would have made the weekly highlights which the producers love. I still think we could have won.
Unfortunately we are now just past the physical prime.
But there is a Canadian Amazing Race coming on and I am voting for Meagan and Jorg to apply. As it takes place in Canada one would have to learn French but as Jorg is already bilingual what is the difficulty in learning a third language. Ou est le Chateau Frontenac?

“We” are past our physical prime? I think you are referring to the Royal “we”, Kemo Sabe … Janine works out several days a week, as I recall … there must be a way she and Vedran could also apply, given that they are just ex-pats. Go for it, Janine and Meagan! (And Andra, and James … perhaps a decent brother/sister team?)

I did suggest that Vedran and Jorg could apply… in-laws as the angle. Vedran would be the runner/eater and Jorg would be the swimmer/biker. How could they lose?! Now, Dad and I would likely be more entertaining… at least to the voyeurs.
