When and where did you meet? Christie: We met at the University of Texas at Austin in Communications Theory class. It was the spring of 2002. Colin had long hair down to his shoulders in those days, and came to class everyday with his carve board, laptop and something to say every single day! He started overtly flirting with me, but more in an "it's never going to happen" kind of way. Eventually my best friend and I decided to ask him for notes, since he used his computer. Of course, he said yes, but not without setting up a study group and getting my phone number. After that we became friends, until one day about nine months later I woke up and realized I was completely in love with him! If you could describe your relationship in one phrase or sentence, what would it be? Christie: We were made for each other! Have you ever traveled together before? If so, what were the best and worst aspects of traveling together? Christie: The best part of traveling together is just that: We get to be together all the time. I think we start to go through withdrawal if we spent too much time apart. The worst is our need to be in control. We each want to do it our own way, and usually feel it's the best way to go. When traveling, this way of thinking can lead to a lot of conflict. Why did you decide to team up for THE AMAZING RACE? Christie: We are both super competitive, love to travel, and look forward to new and interesting challenges. There is no doubt that for this type of challenge, together our Team has everything it takes to win. As you begin the Race, how do you think this experience will affect your relationship? Christie: We are hoping it will bring us closer together and help us learn new things not only about ourselves, but about each other as well. What strengths and weaknesses do you and your partner bring to the Team? Christie: Our strengths: We are competitive, athletic, clever, good at getting the best flights and great at getting what we want out of ourselves and, more importantly, out of other people. Our weaknesses: We both think we are always right, both of us like to lead, and in a way, this creates a certain amount of competition with each other. Obviously, this could seriously slow us down if it becomes a problem on the Race. |
