When and where did you meet? Erika: We met at the Residence Life Lottery at NYU in early 1998. I was a Resident Assistant, and Dennis' friends were trying to convince him to live on my floor. He was refusing to live near the RA, but his roommates finally convinced him. After that, we began our very inappropriate Resident Assistant/resident romance. If you could describe your relationship in one phrase or sentence, what would it be? Opposites attract! Have you ever traveled together before? If so, what were the best and worst aspects of traveling together? We have traveled together to Italy, Greece and the French Polynesian Islands. The best part of traveling together is that we are both very adventurous and willing to try things that most of our other travel partners would never even attempt. New places allow us the opportunity to do activities and try new things that we wouldn't be able to try at home. The worst part of traveling together is our indecisiveness: we can never decide what to do next! Why did you decide to team up for THE AMAZING RACE? We teamed up for the Race to test our relationship and see if we could handle the pressure of high-stress, intense situations. As you begin the Race, how do you think this experience will affect your relationship? We're very uncertain of how the Race will affect our relationship. We feel certain it will either make us stronger or break us apart, but we're not sure if the Race will force us to be a team for life or convince us to go separate ways. What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team? Dennis: I'm physically strong and well trained in running and biking. My weakness is that I can be too nice. Erika: I'm very good at getting in people's heads and figuring out what they are thinking. I can also be manipulative and have a win-at-all-costs mentality. My weakness is that I am overly dramatic and cry easily. What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team? Dennis: Erika is very witty and is always able to think outside the box to come up with an idea that nobody else has thought about. Her weakness is that she is a complete and total drama queen who always has to get her way. Erika: Dennis' strength and weakness is one and the same. He is the most kind, genuine and honest person in the world, which makes him a bit naïve. His honest nature makes him trust people too easily, which is a detriment in this game. |
