The Amazing Race 5

www.cbs.com has finally posted the teams participating in the Amazing Race 5 which begins on July 6th.

There are 11 teams total:
- 4 dating couples, 3 of whom are younger and the older couple met on the internet. (all boy/girl couples)
- 5 Family couples - A father/daughter team, 2 cousins (both girls) 2 twins (both girls), 2 brothers (both boys), and one married couple.
- 1 set of best friends, girls
- 1 male/female couple who were previously engaged.

You can read their bio's online if you are interested.

I think the most interesting couples are the ones who are dating, but not yet married, becasue you really see how they handle each other, how they handle their stress, how they handle each others stress, how they work together, solve problems, and support eachother. I bet it is a real eye opener for their future. Married couples tend to know that stuff, although maybe not to this degree, but the extreme behavior is more shrugged of as a part of the other person...I don't recall it ever coming up with married couples that, "Oh Iwonder if our marriage will survive this" while the datng couples are always like, 'I've learned a lot about him/her, I don't know if we'll stay together", or, "this has made us so much stronger." kind of talk.

Ok. I am tired. I don't think I am goign to spell check this one. Sorry y'all.

sweet dreams
