Interviewing Lauren and Myself about The Amazing Race

Lauren's answers in this color. Michele's in this color.

 

 

1. Why do you want to go on the Amazing Race (TAR)?

I want to travel all over the world, test myself, and try new things.

I think it would be exciting, love the competition and would love to win the money.

 

2. What are you looking forward to most?

 Seeing new parts of the world.

Doing exciting things. (jumping out of plane, riding an elephant)

 

3. Why did you choose Michele as a partner?

 Because she was my only choice (JK).  My real answer is that we make a good team.  I respect and admire her and she is a nice calming influence on me. She knows a ton of things that I don't know so I always learn things when I am around her.

She is a great person. We  have fun together and we always seem to be on the same page. She is also very intelligent.

 

4. What do you think you will struggle with most?

 Things that require strength.  As we both know, I am super weak and as I am watching this season I am getting nervous about all the tasks that require strength.

Puzzles and very physically demanding tasks.

 

5. Where do you think you will excel?

I think we will be good at strategizing and smooth talking people into helping us.  As I am watching this season I keep thinking that teams should be doing more of that...so many missed opportunities.

Intellectual tasks and team work and communication task.

 

 6. Why are we a team to be reckoned with?

 I don't know how well we will do (don't hate me for saying that ), but we will excel because we will be kind to others, we will be persistent, and we will remain calm and work together.

I think we will be great, because people will not expect us to be good, and we are not quitters right?!

 

7. What country do you hope to go to?

 Any country in Africa

New Zealand

8. Where do you NOT want to go to?

 Antarctica

India

9. When you are on the race, what motto or philosophy or mantra will you have?

 Just do it.

No Worries.

10. What is ONE thing that you could not live without on the race? (besides necessities like passport)

 Coffee

Paper and pen.

11. What is one thing you will not do on the race? (for example, there was that one team that would not do a shot of liquor)

 Get naked, but apparently you will so that's good.  I also won't get a tattoo or piercing or something permanent like that.  I wouldn't eat poop.

Can't think of a thing.

12. What will you do with your half of the money?

 I will pay off student loans.

Go on a nice family vacation, college loans, save it.

13. What do you think your partner will do while you are on the race?

 I think he will eat red meat, watch sports, be lonely, hang out with our cats, hang out with Steph,  and ruin his dinner by eating too many sweets before it at least once a week.

Spend time with the cats, hopefully walk the dog, re-do our bathroom.

 

14. What is something or things you are doing to prepare yourself for the race?

I am practicing talking to people (strangers) I would not usually talk to.  I am exercising, I am taking notes from this season, and I need to start doing more brain teasers.

Getting in better physical shape and researching things about the Amazing Race. I need to do more brain teasers too.
