Oh Christopher Robin, I'm so dissapointed in you. You should be in this race, look what you're missing out on.

There are only a few reality TV shows that I enjoy. I didn't watch The Amazing Race the first few seasons it was on, but got hooked on it last summer. It's actually the only show I've seriously considered applying for (with my sister Lily - Jill thinks we would be spectacular contestants.) Unfortunately I missed the window to apply, since it's typically very short and not publicized much.

Anyway, the new season began last night. And low and behold, one of the teams is from my hometown: Eugene, Oregon. Kami and Karli are twins, my age, and live in Eugene. I was trying to figure out why I didn't know them (Eugene is a small enough town that I would have known of two cute twins my age) but then found out they're actually from Beaverton and just live in Eugene now. Anyway, the real insanity started when in their intro it showed them playing soccer. My affection for soccer players is well known, and the odd facination that men have with twins is clear, so I was happy to see two cute twin soccer players from my hometown run around for a while. Unfortunately they ended up being not too observant. They couldn't find the check point coming off of a ferry after their rest night, and then were one of two team that had trouble with instructions (how hard is "across the street from the blue and white hotel? You know, the big 18 story one you're standing by.) That's ok though, they made it and avoided elimination so they can get better next week.

To be eliminated next week: As cool as Charla is, her cousin Mirna is fingernails on the chalkboard obnoxious. They have my vote to go next week, if nothing else just so I can stop having to watch her.

I have to keep my eyes open for the next casting call, this race would be fun.

Still want more?
