The Amazing Race 13 - 9-28-08

Introducing the teams:

Anthony and Stephanie

The on again off again couple, hoping that stress and pressure will bring them back together. Place your bets now. He's a mortgage broker, she's a financial saleswoman. Knowing what we know now, let's hope they win, they probably don't have jobs anymore.

Toni and Dallas

A Mother/Son team. She won't let go is hoping for some quality time. He thinks she talks too much.

Nick and Starr

The brother/sister team. Meaning there will be fighting and crying and they won't have to "evaluate" their relationship every episode. They were bitter enemies in high school, let's see if that doesn't make for some drama.

Anita and Arthur

(the hippies)

They, and I quote from CBS's website, "make their own honey" now that is talent. I thought only bees could make their own honey. With such powers they may be the ones to contend with.

Kelly and Christy

(the bff's)

Divorce's out to see the world. (sorry, I doubt that's punctuated correctly). Their friendship handled their divorces, let's see what non-stop travel and stress will do to it.

Ken and Tina

Married but separated and bicoastal. Their biography is quick to point out their Christianity and his unfaithfulness. Wondering if this will be the token bash Christians team. Hope not.

Terence and Sarah

Happily dating for over a year, and going to ruin it in under a month she has an MBA from Wharton, he is a running coach who pays the bills by selling real estate.

Marisa and Brooke

The blonde team. There master plan? Flirting.

Andrew and Dan

Frat boys, apparently been named "Team Superbad" by their fellow racers.

Aja and Ty

The long distance daters. This could either be really good, or really bad, depending on how much stake they place in the race making or breaking their relationship.

Mark and Bill

Comic book geeks. One has traveled on has not. They've been friends for 25 years. They'll probably come out with their relationship in tact.

So, I'm really bad at assessing the teams from the get go. I counted O'Brother out of Season 2 early on and they went on to the final three. The last set of blondes did really well, Miss New York and Miss California made it pretty far, and the winner of the All Stars was originally part of a blonde team. I'm wondering who'll be the Myrna/Schmyrna team this season. I don't know, some one has got to be annoying, I just can't pick them from their pictures.

Tune in Sunday after 60 minutes to find out.
