Here are some details about Margie and Luke Adams, who will appear on the Amazing Race tonight. Margie is 53-years-old and Luke (her son) is 25. They are from Colorado Springs, Colorado. They appeared on the show during season 14 and came in third. Here is what Margie had to say about that experience:
Biggest mistake you made in your previous season: Not drinking enough water and becoming dehydrated in Thailand. I fainted.
Most memorable moment from your first Race: Finishing in first place for the first leg of the Race.
Favorite place you visited on your first season: Thailand, it was number one on my wish list for Season 14 so getting to go to both Bangkok and Phuket was fantastic.
Why do you want to run the Race again? It was one of the most exciting and best experiences of my life. I am looking forward to all the new places we will go.
How have you changed since the last time you competed? I am more confident and more willing to try new things.
What are you passionate about? People being kind and accepting of each other
People would be surprised to learn: Nothing, I'm pretty boring.
One location that you hope to go on this adventure: Ireland, my grandparents are from there and I would love to see the country.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Some of the challenges require you to be able to listen/hear/sign and when those challenges come up we have to pick the other challenge since Luke is completely deaf. He cannot hear or use oral language.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race again (other than winning one million dollars): Getting to spend time one-on-one with Luke
Pet peeve about your teammate: He is a very loud eater.
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Retire a few years earlier than planned.
Any strategic changes you will make heading into this Race: We need to be more careful about reading the clues.
Here are some of Luke's answers to the same questions:
Biggest mistake you made in your previous season: My biggest mistake was not being able to figure out what the last surfboard was during the final challenge!
Most memorable moment from your first Race: The hilarious cheese hill task and the underwear marathon.
Favorite place you visited on your first season: Thailand because the country and culture are just so beautiful. I would love to go there again someday.
Why do you want to run the Race again? To win The Amazing Race! I want to make up for my big blunder in the final leg of the last race.
How have you changed since the last time you competed? I stop more when I am traveling now to enjoy the scenery. I try not to rush things.
What are you passionate about? Travel, my family and friends.
People would be surprised to learn: I'm afraid of flying. I always have to suck it up whenever I'm on planes.
One location that you hope to go on this adventure: Ireland, because it would be awesome to see where my family came from.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Being sleep deprived!
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race again (other than winning one million dollars): It would be cool if we could visit five continents, avoid being u-turned and be the first team to make it to the final three twice!
Pet peeve about your teammate: Nothing -- she is an awesome teammate and mom!
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Invest.
Any strategic changes you will make heading into this Race: I don't think I will change anything since our strategy from last time worked well. Hopefully it will bring us to the final three again and we can win this time!
