Amazing Race 6 - Meet The Racers
The Amazing Race 5 has just ended yesterday, but there’s no waiting for the next batch (well, maybe just a couple more weeks.. it will start showing in the US at the end of October, and AXN Asia has started showing the previews).. but here they are. It’s time to pick your favourites again.
(Thanks to Colby for the pics and team descriptions - will host the pics on my server later tonight)
Team 1: Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller
This married couples calls themselves Team Hollywood. Baker, 42, is “an entrepreneur� who dyed his hair blue for the race; Fuller, 31, is an ex-Playmate. Baker says he�ll be the race�s best schemer: �I can do the Jedi mind trick.�
Team 2: Lori Chestnut Harvey and Bolo Dar�tainian
Pro wrestlers from Molino, Florida, they expect to be known as �the tough freaky people,� says Harvey, 32. Adds Dar�Tainian, 38, �Being pro wrestlers, our job is to piss people off.�
Team 3: Rebecca Cardon and Adam Malis
�The Weird Ex-Dating Couple�, as they call themselves, are spinning teachers from Los Angeles. �We argue well,� says Cardon, 29. �We have argument calluses.� And their weakness: �I�m not the bravest,� says Malis, 27.
Team 4: Kris Perkins & Jon Buehler
Long-distance daters, she�s a UCLA student and he�s a bar owner in Scottsdale, Arizona. �We don�t like negativity,� says
Buehler, 20. Adds Perkins, 30, �We�re willing to help others, but not if it�s a detriment to our winning.�
Team 5: Freddy Holliday and Kendra Bentley
If Holliday has to eat �something funky�, says Bentley, 25, these soon-to-marry Miami models could be in trouble. �Than can ruin me for a day,� says Holliday, 35.
Team 6: Lena and Kristy Jensen
�We are like fire and ice,� says Kristy, 26, a devout Mormon mother-model-student, of her team. However, Lena, 23, her carefree sister and a former striptease aerobics instructor, adds that �we�ve come to accept each other.�
Team 7: Aaron Crumbaugh and Hayden Kristiandon
Dating LA models, these two love drama. �Boy, do we butt heads!� says Crumbaugh, 25. �I come from a family of lawyers, so I�m argumentative, � admits Kristianson, 25.
Team 8: Hera and Gustavus Mcleod
She�s a special education teacher; he�s an ex-CIA operative and �adventure pilot� � and her dad. �The Silent Assassins,� as Gustavus, 29, calls his team, may not win friends, but, says Hera, 23, �I plan on manipulating people.�
Team 9: Maria Sampogna and Meredith Tufaro
Both 26 and best friends from Queens, Tufaro says, �We�re naturally laughing people. It�ll be like �Who gave them the gas?�� Adds Samgona, �Our strategy is to kill �em with kindness.�
Team 10: Donald and Mary Jean St. Claire
Married for 23 years, the oldest couple in the race have dubbed themselves �Team Medicare.� Says Donald, 69, �Mar Jean [65] and I have some creaky joints.�
Team 11: Avi Schneier and Joe Rashbaum
Both 32, hight school techer Schneier studies Eastern philosophy while ad exec Rashbaum keeps kosher (even in the race). High scholl buddies from Brooklyn, they�ll be �the Every Jew,� Schneier jokes.
