Teams: Freddy & Kendra


Freddy & Kendra
Engaged Models
This is definitely the type of team that I would like to see less of in the Amazing Race. The whole idea behind the race is ordinarly people doing extraordinary things while traveling around the world in the quest for a million dollar prize. These are not ordinary people. These are actors/models that are often in the spotlight. It really destroys the foundation of reality tv and this competition. We want to see ordinary people. If we wanted to see models and actors travel the world, we would just watch ordinary tv. I hope the producers of the show avoid this mistake for next season. They filled the race with models and actors (probably to lure ratings), but this is not what the race is about. Freddy and Kendra do have a good chance of winning. This team has been decent throughout the race but has not been the best. They have arrived first at the pit stops only once and have an average placing of fourth place. I really don't think this is the material that will create winners. This team really hasn't argued amongst themselves that much, but they have been distracted by their surroundings. (For example, Freddy's anger after being hit by the gate entrance in Budapest and Kendra's "ghetto Africa." I think that this team is a litty too prissy too win this race. If they do end up winning, I will be both surprised and disappointed.
