A.Give Names and Relationship with One Another.

Dave Barry & Britney Spears

They both enjoy an occasional refreshing adult beverage.

B.Submit a short response of why they should be selected.

They both look good on paper.

C.Supply some type of bio for each team member.(This can just be a website...just supply the link.)

Not really a bio, but demonstrates his obvious superior understanding of the proper way to manage employees for optimal performance.

“Hardworking office professionals are finding they can definitely improve their time-management skills using this application < http://www.flashplayer.com/games/defendyourcastle.html >. For maximum productivity, pick up the little attacking guys with your mouse pointer and hold them up as high as you can before you release them. When they hit the ground, you will get a satisfying and productive splat.”

Thank god she’s wearing a belt.

D.Tell me why you think they could win Celebrity Amazing Race.

When you combine Dave’s wit, wisdom and intelligence with her bellybutton there’s no way they can loose.

Okay, this sounds fun...

A.

Serena Williams, 21
Venus Williams, 23

Sisters/Tennis Players

B.

This team should be selected because they would prove to be a strong all-female team. So far, many of the all-female TAR teams have had a fatal flaw (usually that one or the other is whiny which leads to communication breakdown). I think these two could serve to break that mould, as they are fit, strong and have a good rapport with each other.

C.

Don't know what you want for bios, so I'll refer you to the site www.venusserenafans.com

D.

As I said before, these two would be a force to be reckoned with. Both are extremely fit, as they are professional athletes, and they would work well as a team, as they play Tennis Doubles together and also have strong family bonds.

Good luck with your game, star!

edit: Ages were wrong

(Another IceCat original )

Don't forget they're well travelled and have already been around the world. They would be strong.

However, I don't know if I could take "professional" and "athlete" together in any more editions of TAR.

Cool idea, Magic. Hope my team gets selected.

A. Names / Relationship
Jenny Jones and Jerry Springer. Not only have they hosted two of TV's most notorious and most offensive talk shows, they also recorded those shows in adjoining studios here in Chicago.

B. Why these two?
The "Real Life" TAR is a REALITY show. Although some of the guests on Jenny Jones and Jerry Springer were probably real, many of them were fake, too. So, for a "fake" celebrity TAR I think these two candidates could use a good dose of reality. Besides, with their quaint personalities and sprakling wit and repartée, I think they'd make an entertaining TAR team. Besides, Jenny's show was canceled and I'm sure she can use some publicity.

C. Bios
Do we really need to know more about these two? Well, I do know that Jerry Springer is a former mayor of Cincinnati. More info about him can be found at www.eonline.com/On/Revealed/Shows/Springer/bio.html For Jenny Jones, the link is www.jennyjones.com

D. Why they could win a Celebrity TAR
OK, as trashy and bizarre as those two talk shows are, it takes a lot of guts to go before the world and host this type of program. Even putting the money aside, you've got to be really tough to do this day after day. Even after being part of a murder trial, Jenny Jones forged ahead with the show. Hosting programs with so much angst has to take a lot of energy so I think they each have the stamina for successful participation. Besides, sometimes the "team You Love To Hate" actually does win.

Thanks

This is a fictional race, right? I was hoping that these two famous "folks" might be submitted.

A.Give Names and Relationship with One Another.
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy / Married

B.Submit a short response of why they should be selected.
Although the two seem an unworkable pair. They have been together for a long time and will ultimately work well with eachother. They also bring in the diversity of characters that this show really needs.

C.Supply some type of bio for each team member.(This can just be a website...just supply the link.)
Miss Piggy : International Superstar / Pig
Kermit the Frog : Actor / Director / Amphibian

For more info check out their Muppet bio's here.

D.Tell me why you think they could win Celebrity Amazing Race.
The two of them are well very traveled. Kermit is extremely affable and friendly. Plus, Kermit knows his way around a swamp.
Miss Piggy is fluent in French and is a blackbelt in Karate. Great dramatic possibilites.

Welcome Siegfried Fishbacher, age 64, and Roy Uwe Ludwig, age 59.

The oldest duo in the race, no doubt. But they have been co-workers since 1957, and have a few tricks up their sleeves. They have extensive travel experience, and speak both English and German. This team also has been known to fit into and get out of tight spots, and they have lots of experience working with animals.

You know them better as...
Siegfried & Roy, Masters of the Impossible

http://www.siegfriedandroy.com

Hey, if clowns can play, why not the Magicians of the Century?

This team's biggest weapons are their firm relationship, their superior intellect, their travel experience, their skills at deception, and the white tigers hidden in their backpacks.

Their motto:
We can't outrun the other teams, but we can make them vanish!

(This strategy also works for Tony Soprano and Paulie Walnuts, my second choice who are unfortunately fictional. I think.)

These reality show contestants need a reality check!
