"Jackie N"O""
Posted by indian girl on 10-13-09 at 06:57 AM
I was so surprised that almost every team looked at the picture of Jackie Onassis and did not recognize her! When I first saw the photo, I could tell it was her immediatedly.....how are the racers that dumb that they didn't recognize who she was or even know who she was.

It could be an age thing-- most of the teams are young and they might not be familiar with Jackie O since she was well-known and popular before they were born. I'm sure Marcy and Ron would've recognized her.

I recognized her immediately too but then I'm old.

Probably safe to say that many peeps of the ages of most of the racers would also not recognize Eisenhower or even Hitler.

I'm 26 and I had to be told who she was, and I hardly consider myself an idiot. (My wife may have a differing opinion, but that's neither here nor there.)

I minored in history in college. I just don't know my first ladies very well.

Well, I know I didn't get a good look at it before they told us who it was. And one team mentioned in the cab that they hadn't really looked at it, they just showed it to a local to find out where it was.

The one who really got me was Mika, going on and on about how it was obviously some famous Cambodian, because her Cambodian features were so distict. Or something. I wonder how she felt when she realized who it actually was.
