Glad to see you post here.

While I wasn't happy about them casting a team that did actually race together. I was so pissed that they automatically excluded any of the "alpha male" teams that raced together, that I got over it quickly.

And yeah, you and Jeremy are my favorite racers. So that hurt (though damn, it had to really hurt Jeremy). THough, I am sure he was happy that at least one of you got the chance.

But even if they didn't want you guys no reason not to consider you or teams like the original winners Rob & Brennan, for example.

I also wanted to mention how unfair and baised the attacks agains't you were. Of course evreyone has personal preferences for who they like and who they root for. But for watchers to seemingly ignore all the other teams and the behavior by the other teams and use your teams behavior as a reason to attck you was uncalled for. By dialogue on the episodes and the internet clips. Every other season has had couples and other teams (whether they were on the outs or not) who fought more, who attacked each other much more, or who were meaner to other teams or to the locals (one thing there isn't a single time you have been mean to a local, the footage available). Hell in all Stars alone we had teams that fought internally more, we had teams that were just mean to other teams, and teams that treated locals terrible. And yet, some thought you (especially) were the worst person ever (based on the race not even close).

Then you personally get attacked for not performing certain roadblocks. Yet the filmed and aired footage has you (in all but one case) defering to Danielle's judgement, some people and internet reviewers would automaticaly take Danielle's side.

It truth, when you break down the episodes and figure out how long you took to do the days tasks (removing flight times) you as a team did far better then people give you credit.

Removing flight time you and Danielle completed the leg in Tanzania, fastest, yet thanks to flight problems all around you ended up 5th.

The leg in Warsaw, you two finished the tasks 2cd fastest, yet thanks again to flights outside your control, you ended up 5th.

In reality you had three bad legs. The first was Maputo.

The 2cd was the Auschwitz leg (but I beat that was due to trying to make sure the Guido's got eliminated).

The third was the leg in Hong Kong. In which you took as long as Charla & Mirna to finish the tasks. And I wonder if you had made the flight if you would have performed better on this one.

And there is no question in my mind that with Jeremy as a partner in most of the episodes things would have been easier (and certainly in some would have done better).

You would have won the third leg (since you most likely wouldn't have had to change tasks (not to mention lose nearly an hour with Danielle not wanting to handle the fish).

In every episode where there is significant driving and navigation you should have done much better. When you look at all the seasons, I think one of your and Jeremy's strongest traits were being able to drive and navigate from point A-B. While all teams get lost (and probably in every new locations at least briefly) you guys usualy managed it faster and without resorting to airing cabs, following locals, getting locals to ride with you, ect.

How much did it seem to hurt you with having to navigate and drive all the time? How much time do you think you would have saved with Jeremy driving and you navigating?

I do hope that you don't take our ramblins (both good and bad) to seriously. And that you ignore the personal attacks on you and your family (which was really uncalled for).
