After a good run, Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho were eliminated from The Amazing Race.
Their downfall ultimately came at something you’d expect a team of women to not do very well with, so it wasn’t too shocking. No, driving wasn’t involved. No, there wasn’t a “Don’t nag for a day” competition. No, there wasn’t an emotional intelligence challenge. And no, the teams weren’t tasked with just shutting the fuck up for five fucking minutes.
Ultimately, a couple of physical tasks (the mallet-ring-the-bell carnival thing and golfing with shoe in 50mph winds) that honestly didn’t seem that fair to stick in a competition with an all women team but then again who said life was fair did them in.
See for yourself in the above vid.
UPDATE: From Maria Hooooooooooooo’s twitter/BJ Nemeth’s comment: “Watch me on Anderson Cooper 360 tonight on CNN at 10 eastern/7 pacific along w/ a great panel of women about “Breaking Into the Boy’s Club!”"
Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho made a big comeback to stay alive on Episode 1 of The Amazing Race last night.
Behind the scenes, the two played up their mental toughness as poker pros and ability to manipulate games as a distinct edge they’d have over the competition. But once the grueling competition started, that kinda went by the wayside. They also tried to keep their professions under wraps, but someone recognized TM at an airport and within 24 hours, their cover was blown.
Much like Annie Duke had Joan Rivers to foil her more abrasive on-camera persona on The Celebrity Apprentice, Tiffany Michelle has a good foil in this total douchebag lawyer guy. So that’s good.
Regardless, glad to see the girls make it through. But if this week is any indication, it might be a rough go of it for Michelle and Ho. Above is their post-race interview.
What do you think of the episode? How did TM and Hooooooo! rep themselves? Comment away…
