Introduction to 'The Amazing Rewatch'
00:00:07
Speaker
Hello, hello. This is Jessica and Sadie. Um, I just said like Jessica, Jessica and Sadie. Uh, and this is the amazing rewatch. This episode is a quick introduction of the season 13 teams. Um, if you want to know a little bit more about them and listen to their bios, this is where to do it.
Meet the Teams: Part 1
00:00:30
Speaker
Yeah, so we already recorded episode one and introduced the new season, but we just do a little bit more deep dive into the teams and their bios in this episode. So we will jump right in. i The first team that we introduce is Tony and Dallas. They are a mother and son team from Northern California.
00:00:48
Speaker
It says they have always been there for each other and will not let, oh and will let nothing come between them. They're hoping the race will provide them with some quality family time they've been missing out on since Dallas hasn't been away at college. And as a single mother, Tony sacrificed quite a bit to give Dallas a great childhood. Now Dallas is in college and living on his own. Dallas can be very persuasive and enjoys getting people to do what he wants. he His pet peeve about his teammate is that she's very long-winded.
00:01:17
Speaker
has long-winded stories and he describes himself as outgoing, persistent, and passionate. Toni considers herself a leader but knows that she'll need to lean on her son a bit more by relying on Dallas's strengths rather than telling him what to do. Her biggest accomplishment has been raising her son and she currently works for herself as a corporate accounting consultant. With Dallas's constant flirting and sarcasm and Toni's laughter and personality, they are sure to be one of the most entertaining teams on the race.
00:01:43
Speaker
Nice. We did like them in episode one. Yeah. Um, the next team is Nick and star. They are a brother and sister from New York and Texas. They will stop at nothing to win the race. They're both extremely driven and competitive, especially with each other.
00:02:00
Speaker
and they admit to being overzealous when a prize is involved, even if it's only bragging rights. Nick and Star could practically be twins, and they consider each other best friends, even though they rarely see each other due to the distance. They hope to strengthen their relationship on this adventure, but they do worry since they haven't spent much time together in the several years in the past several years, that they and they can get on one each other's... ne one each other's?
00:02:29
Speaker
one another's nerves. um After all, in high school they were bitter enemies. Nick claims that the biggest difference between them is that Star can be reckless. She leaps into a situation without thinking um about the repercussions and Nick thinks everything through before acting. Star claims that she is just simply more spontaneous and figures out that everything will work out in the end.
00:02:54
Speaker
They have both accomplished their lifelong dreams. um Nick performs on the New York stage in an off-Broadway musical called The Fantasticks, and Star is a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys. They're anxious to bring a new approach to the game and motivated to strengthen their relationship, and they believe that their charisma, wit, and relentless spirit will make a dangerous combination.
00:03:17
Speaker
Okay, next are Ken and Tina.
Meet the Teams: Part 2
00:03:21
Speaker
They are a separated husband and wife team from Tampa, Florida. This married couple is looking to be reconnected on the race. They've been separated for nine months and living on different coasts and are ready to put their marriage back together. Ken is an ex- Whoa, we're starting on this NFS star who played for the Cardinals and the Chargers and was also a college football assistant coach and is currently a home builder. He's competitive, athletic, and believes in problem solving. His problem solving skills will help them win the race. He thinks Tina is too controlling and should relax a bit more, but anticipates the race will help them learn to appreciate their differences. His poor choices and infidelity tore their marriage apart and he prays that the race will help Tina trust him again.
00:04:06
Speaker
Tina is a business owner and a CEO. She enjoys meeting new people and experiencing new cultures and believes that everyone has an endearing unique quality about them. She is the brains while Ken is the brawn. She has worked as a director of strategic planning and has launched two successful companies.

Aja and Tai are a dating couple ah dating long distance. ah This long distance couple is looking for an opportunity to be together for an extended period of time. They've been dating long distance for nine months, living in two separate states, and the longest time they've spent together was last Christmas for two weeks. They feel that the race will help them to determine if they can truly handle living together on a daily basis.
00:05:05
Speaker
um They met four years ago at the time of the race at the University of Michigan and they quickly became friends although Aja was dating someone else. When things turned sour, Aja realized Ty was the one for her. The only problem was that she she was in l LA and Ty was in Detroit.
00:05:23
Speaker
Aja is an aspiring aspiring actress and works as a makeup artist. She describes herself as energetic, insightful, and compassionate. And her biggest pet peeve about Thai is that he has a poor estimation of time. Oh, I feel that.
00:05:39
Speaker
Tai is no stranger to the gym and describes himself as ultra competitive and hates the thought of losing. He works as a banker out of Detroit and he has not had the opportunity to travel much out of the United States and is looking forward to the race as a chance to explore other cultures and compete against the game's best. helps the e He hopes they are as hungry to win as he is. Tai believes that Aj's biggest weakness is that she easily gets upset.
00:06:09
Speaker
That's it. Okay, Marissa and Brooke, they are Southern Bells from South Carolina. These charming Southern Bells are best friends and are up for any challenge. They want to prove to the world that they're not just cute blondes and that they can be athletic cutthroat competitors. Marissa is currently a broadcast journalism student at the University of South Carolina. She describes herself as ambitious, witty, and spontaneous. Her extensive dance training has taught her to be focused and determined, skills that should help her do well on the race.
00:06:38
Speaker
Burke is fascinated with other cultures and can't wait to try out some of the Spanish she learned while living in Spain. She works as a graphic designer and enjoys traveling, painting, and being outdoors. She believes that her take charge attitude will be enough to get them through the rigors of the race. She and her best friend are certain this adventure will make them even better friends and if they do a little flirting along the way they're not opposed to that either. Whatever it takes to cross the finish line in first place.
Meet the Teams: Part 3
00:07:05
Speaker
Next team is Andrew and Dan. They are fraternity brothers from Phoenix. And their bio says life could not be any better for these fraternity brothers. Andrew and Dan met while attending Arizona State University and the last four years have been filled with good times. And they refer to themselves as, oh, some of the other teams refer to them as super bad. I can kind of see that. Oh, yeah. um Kind of like a young Seth Rogen.
00:07:34
Speaker
Was he in that movie? I've never actually seen Superbad, so. Yeah, but he was like a very minor part, like a cop. Oh, OK. It's ah that's trying just like what you're thinking of, but kind of like. Yeah.
00:07:45
Speaker
Yeah, kind of that same vibe. Yeah. So they are ready for a life altering experience. Andrew is a senior studying urban planning. He is hoping to make the most of their last year in college before they part ways. And I looked it up. Andrew is the one with the red curly hair. um His laid back appearance can be deceiving, so count on him to be assertive, hands on, and ready to take on anything that comes his way.
00:08:12
Speaker
Dan graduated last December with a degree in Tourism Management. Oh yes.
00:08:19
Speaker
He enjoys bar hopping, sports, and all things funny. He also loves to travel and hopes to use his extensive global travel knowledge and expertise to get a leg up on the competition. These two say they can talk their way out of anything by cracking jokes and keeping the mood light. They promise to bring more to the race than any other team um and they'll be looking to keep things entertaining in their own special way.
00:08:44
Speaker
All right, Anthony and Stephanie. They have been dating for four years. They're from Los Angeles. This competitive couple is hoping to be engaged by the end of the race. Are they? I know. Stephanie is. One of them is. Back together again after a year-long breakup, Anthony says he will propose to Stephanie if they make it through the race.
00:09:01
Speaker
yeah if they make it through. Even though they've overcome many of their differences, their constant bickering would suggest otherwise. Anthony, a mortgage broker, describes himself as adventurous and entertaining. He enjoys talking sports, hunting, and poker. When asked what country he'd like to visit most, he said Italy because he's 100% Italian and has yet to visit. Stephanie is a financial saleswoman. She loves meeting new people and learning different cultures. She describes herself as outgoing, funny, and athletic and loves competition.
00:09:31
Speaker
Both of them were eager to race around the world and put their relationship to the test, ultimately, to prove to everyone, including themselves, that they do belong together. OK. Anita and Arthur are Season's ah senior couple. They can't wait to make the race their next big big adventure. They are open-hearted and free-spirited, and they make and sell sell their own honey and recently purchased an organic blueberry farm.
00:10:01
Speaker
They've known each other for over 26 years, have been married for 14 years, um and their blended family and children are the most important part of their lives. Don't be fooled by their snowy white hair though, because they are no strangers to hard work. Living on a farm, they are responsible responsible for maintaining their land, chopping wood, braving the hazardous conditions of beekeeping.
00:10:24
Speaker
Anita describes herself as optimistic, enthusiastic, and compassionate. She's running this race in hopes of gaining insight to people and places from all corners of the world while traveling side by side with her husband. Her biggest pet peeve about Arthur is that he over analyzes situations and Anita believes that simple can be better.
00:10:43
Speaker
Arthur identifies himself as a problem-fixer and hopes to gain a better understanding of himself and his partner. When asked how he and his teammate are most alike, he said that they share a basic belief in the goodness of people. This nature-loving couple is still young at heart and they're ready to experience the world.
00:11:01
Speaker
Yeah, they're a cute couple. um Kelly and Christy, they're from Texas and they're both recently divorced. They are best friends that will not settle for second best. These two go-getters have been through a lot in the last year and want to prove that they can overcome anything. Kelly, having been a collegiate dancer and Christy, a colligiate collegiate cheerleader, are physically fit and are up for the challenges the race will bring. They have supported one another through their own marriages and the dissolution of both.
00:11:28
Speaker
have worked together at the same company and have both remodeled homes and have tackled life together for the last 10 years. Kelly works as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. She describes her team as quick, resourceful, and resilient.

Chrissy, a business development representative for a title insurance company is determined to be the first amazing race all female team to take the $1 million prize. She believes that she and Kelly can accomplish anything they set their minds to. Chrissy also believes that their sweet Texas charm will prove to be a very resourceful asset through the race.
00:12:13
Speaker
And Christy describes their team as magnetic, energetic, and kind-hearted. Neither has traveled extensively outside of the US, s but both are eager to change that. This team's drive, experience, and competitiveness may provide them with the opportunity to see all the world has to offer. OK. I looked these ones up, too, because I didn't know Kelly is the one with the darker hair, and Christy has the lighter hair. OK.
00:12:38
Speaker
so Okay. Uh, we missed a couple of teams.
Jessica and Sadie Wrap Up
00:12:43
Speaker
If you listen to episode two, you will hear our realization that we did not introduce Terrence and Sarah and Mark and bill. So here they are. Terrence and Sarah. Hold on. Now I need to find it. Do you have it up? Yeah. Okay. Go for it. Terrence and Sarah are a newly dating couple from New York City. Terrence and Sarah have been dating for almost a year, but they couldn't be more different, which I agree so far. Sarah has an MPA from Morton and is often the only woman in meetings during her long days working on Wall Street, while Terrence sells sells real estate to pay the bills.
00:13:18
Speaker
and satisfies his true passion by coaching runners. Sarah claims that the biggest difference between the two is that she is lower maintenance and Terrence is more emotional. However, she believes that they are they share a competitive spirit and they're smart, energetic, adventurous, and fearless. Terrence describes himself as witty, sensitive, and driven. One of his proudest accomplishments is finishing the last two New York City marathons in under three hours.
00:13:43
Speaker
that is insane yeah that's really it takes me 45 minutes to run a 5k yeah so that's way faster than you it would take me three days to finish a marathon way faster than me too i'm not even close to That's crazy. Anyways, this team is determined to prove themselves well whether, wait, this team is determined to prove to themselves whether they belong together while on the race. They hope that being well traveled, physically fit, and highly competitive will help them win the million dollars. They think their biggest weaknesses could be the tendency to become too intense, fighting amongst themselves, or their dietary restrictions. Regardless of what they win or not, this adventure will definitely be a journey that could make or break them.
00:14:28
Speaker
Okay, and then Mark and Bill are best friends from San Diego. These comic book aficionados are determined to be the most strategic team to ever compete in the race. Mark and Bill have been friends for over 23 years. They first met at a science fiction club and have been bonding over their love of comics and games ever since.
00:14:50
Speaker
Mark says that he wears geek like a badge of honor. He actually, I don't know if he still is, but he is the CFO of the San Diego Comic Con. Oh, wow. Yeah. So Mark just describes himself as outgoing, funny, and smart. He's willing to go anywhere and isn't afraid of adventure. His last vacation was to Vanuatu in the South Pacific where he climbed a volcano.
00:15:14
Speaker
oh Bill is the opposite of Mark. He is more cautious, easygoing, goofy, but competitive. And when he asked, when he was asked how the race could change their friendship, Bill says that the race might present them with some bad situations, but in the end they'll finish with a deeper respect for each other. These masterminds are ready to see what they are made of and are convinced that they can be one step ahead of the competition if they play their cards right.
00:15:39
Speaker
I like teams like that, that are like obviously not the most physically fit, but they don't seem like super out of shape. They're just like, their brain is what they're banking on to help them win. Yeah. So I'm interested to see how that works. Yeah. So far it's done them well. We've only watched, I said, so far it's done them well. Oh, sounds like you said, far so so far Samoa. No, sorry. I guess I mumbled blue a little bit. um We've only watched two episodes, but so far.

Speaker
they're doing pretty well. um And now we have done all the bios officially. Okay, now goodbye. That is our teams for season 13 and we um have like the whole season to go, but the teams, you know, they just kind of slowly show us who they are.
