Re: The Amazing Race season 13
Great season so far. Kelly and Christy are good for a laugh but I'm glad they're gone.I have a feeling about the mom and son team.
Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it meant to roast in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.

| Also like the Nick/Starr and Toni/Dallas teams. Hope they are the final two. They are enjoying the game and not ruthless backstabbing whiners. |

Of course there are a handful who have slipped through the cracks and stood the test of time (I still love you, Kathryn from The Mole, Kelly from Survivor: Africa, and Courtney from Survivor: China) but I don't think Christy has what it takes to make that elite group.

THAT'S a killer! (not to mention the lady behind the counter at the bakery!
) Honestly...I don't know what teams without a big guy would have done. For example, an older couple...or the divorcees. However, I wouldn't have minded seeing Terence or Sarah have to do THAT!
