Don't have a lot of time today, gotta volunteer, so only a short bit about the final two teams. Some colour, finally, but there had to be a team of Mactors, didn't there? Anyway, this team of sisters seems typical from many of the other team of sisters in which the older one is the controlling one but over the course of the race will learn to respect and listen to the younger one. If they last that long. The best part of this team is that they compared themselves to Sponge Bob and Patrick, which isn't always a good thing. Still, I love Sponge Bob.
As for this Father and Son, team, they're an Amazing Race archetype; the family team (usually a parent and sibling) in which one has survived or has been diagnosed with a disease (the father has Parkinsons) and wishes to show it won't hold them back. Okay, there was a thunderstorm last night so I didn't get a lot of sleep so maybe I'm a bit cynical today. Overall these guys will probably be an tough team, unless they are the kind of father and son that butt heads.
That's it for the teams. Very, very disappointed that there isn't a single First Nations person on this race, unless there haven't mentioned it on their bios. And there's a lot of Y-Chromosomes out there with four, count-em, four teams of men.
I'll look at the teams deeper in the next week but I gotta go. And please forgive any typos today. Also, this blog, along with comments from my buddy Gordo, is copied here.
