The Amazing Race - 11/2/08 - Grading & Discussion

[Brent]

There have been some who call Nick and Starr - "Team Incest" - because of the vibe they seem to give on the show.

I believe Blake and Paige were also called this, remember the massage scene in the RV? hehe

But you know what, I just think both teams have a great relationship, brothers and sisters who are close in age and grow up together have a unique relationship, sometimes its a fighting rivalry kind, and other times its a very close loving type, but that doesn't mean incest.

I have a very close loving type of relationship with my sister, and I bet if we ran the race we'd be called team incest, but that label is really stupid cause that is not the case at all, far from it. Heh, when we go out in public often people think we're a couple lol, people just have perverted minds!

I respect both Blake/Paige and Nick/Starr's relationships, I can relate and I think it is great that family can be so close.

As I recall when I directed Nick five years ago, his family was very close and religious (not "religious NUT" religious but a strong, practical, level-headed faith).

Sorry I missed last week's thread, but was distracted working on tracking down the start of race #14. Which I can confirm did indeed start on Sunday the 2nd of November and thankfully not in LA.

And I so don't get that type of vibe with Nick & Starr. Whether or not Nick is gay, he comes across as slightly fey, and thus no real Blake and Paige vibe. Not that I thought Blake & Paige, yuck. But I do have to say Blake & Paige, Nick and Starr and Greg and Brian are easily my favorite sibling teams in the shows history.

It's funny that they are so close, because they both admit (in pre race interviews) how much they hated each other in high school.

Nick needs just a tad more bulk then he would be VERY yummy. At the moment he is a little too skinny. Basic structure is there and he has a VERY nice face but he needs about three months of solid work.

WHile I do like thin guys in general, when they had the episode in La PAz and they got into tights, you could see that he really would look so good with about 10-15 pds more mass on his frame.
