Doing a blog series during my rewatch of The Amazing Race 13. Basing each team off of the episode aired so previous episodes will not factor in.
9th-Kelly/Christy
They were dreadful this entire episode. Right off the bat, they were accusing Starr of messing with Christy's sports bra which led to a big debacle about it later where Nick tried to make amends for it (in a pretty poor fashion let me say). I mean, it was great not listening to them talk about their exes for once in the entire race, but I'd rather have that then listen to them bicker about something as stupid as a sport's bra where they have no proof Starr did anything to it and refusing to believe anything otherwise. Like lets get real here, there is absolutely nothing for Nick/Starr to gain for doing that other than enemies which I highly doubt they were trying to do.
8th-Terence/Sarah
They weren't horrendous this episode, but they were still far from good. Terence still treats Sarah like shit which is painful to watch (even more painful that Sarah gives into it). He just has an arrogance about him that is just a turnoff. It makes you hard to root for.
7th-Nick/Starr
Not a good episode for the brother/sister team. They get into a seemingly stupid fight about a sport's bra with Kelly/Christy where Nick tried later to end it by talking with them about it, but he did a pretty piss poor job at that let me say. Then later on Starr's evil side begins to show by trying to get other teams to U-Turn each other (telling Aja/Ty to U-Turn Kelly/Christy). They are not afraid to play dirty and I'm not against playing dirty, but they are burning too many bridges too fast right now with all the enemies they are accumulating. Not a good sign down the road.
6th-Andrew/Dan
Pretty much didn't add anything exciting this episode again. They seem to be the team that is just there so far along the race. They have big egos for being out of shape frat boys, but besides that, they are just....there. Maybe they will begin to develop into something good later on...or develop into something bad. Who knows!
5th-Mark/Bill
This was not a great episode for them personality wise which is a shame because they were gold in the previous episode. Along with that, their game play wasn't as strong especially when it came to reading clues which they said they have down because they analyze everything. Once they finally analyzed the clue, they were already on their way to the pit stop. Just a little bit too late on that, don't ya think? I mean, they weren't terrible at all by any means, but I expected more from them especially after the last episode and it sucks that they had to leave on such a disappointing note as well. I was really pulling for them, but alas it was not meant to be.
4th-Aja/Ty
They had a better episode this time around compared to recent episodes. Aja is beginning to see Ty as a supporter/motivator which is awesome and at the same time they are both keeping everything real with the other teams. Aja calling out Starr to Christy about Starr wanting Aja and Ty to U-Turn Kelly/Christy was interesting to watch and shows that Aja/Ty are not anyone's lap dogs and will do what they want when they want. So they get more airtime this episode and are slowly developing into being a strong team. Solid performance from them this episode.
3rd-Marisa/Brooke
They are just so fun to watch! They had a confessional about all of the teams being surprised that they are still around and that just motivates them to try even harder < 3 Plus them dancing with the marching band to get them to move faster which eventually does as they pass Andrew/Dan lolll. They are so fun to watch and cheer for because they have a great personality towards them and are so giddy about everything < 3
2nd-Ken/Tina
We didn't get to see Tina totally in action today, but it was nice to see them work on their relationship and get better with each other. Ken in the wrestling match was fun to watch and he really got into it which made it all the more better. I do miss the evil Tina, but for today they were solid.
1st-Toni/Dallas
They broke my heart this episode and in a good way. Dallas is so sweet to his mother that it is just heart-warming to watch! He lets her take her time to recover from the high altitude without even thinking twice about it. He also encourages while she is having problems breathing as well and throughout the race is learning more and more about how awesome she is which is making them even more enjoyable to watch! Then it gets turned around watching Toni cheer on Dallas during the Roadblock. They show so much love for each other that you can't possibly hate them!
