The Amazing Race

I am sure I have blogged about my love for the TV show The Amazing Race, well the new season started last night. Well I am just now watching the first show (thank you DVR!) because the MYF at our church put on a dinner last night so we missed it. I always like to think if Pat and I were on the show how we would do and which one of us would do the challenges. Here is my break down of the first show.

1st Challenge: Find a paper airplane that had the airline for some country on it. Yeah...we probably would not have done well with that. I had no idea what the answer was so we would have been blindly guessing!

2nd Challenge: Swim with sharks to find a clue. PAT! I am terrified of sharks. It all stems back to my sisters (they weren't very nice to me when I was little.) For some reason Michelle loved the movie Jaws but E.T. sacred her. Well I can't remember if she told me or I thought it, but I thought Jaws could come through the drains in our house. Not only that but I thought he could get in our pool. I still get a little leary being in the deep in by myself!

3rd Challenge: Decode a message that is coded using international flags. I think I would tear it up! I love puzzles and decoding messages and all that stuff. (Remember my post about why I am a dork? This could probably be added to the list!)

4th Challenge: Sail a 16 foot Skiff to a bouy. They get to work together on this but Pat would be awesome at this. He grew up on the water and drove a boat for his summer job so this would be a piece of cake! They also had 2 other people helping them so we would have been fine.

5th Challenge: Go to the beach to the Pit Stop. We do pretty good with directions but have gotten in arguments over it. I think that would be our rough spot if we went on this show. Our TomTom GPS system I think has really saved our relationship!

I make it seem that we would just be amazing at this show and would have no problem but really I am sure we would hit some snags and be eliminated the first round or something but I can wish!
