Ariane, Roy and Grace - "Dumb Blondes (trying to act smart)"
Winners of Halloween Race
October 25, 2009
What is the story behind the Team Name?
We all have dark hair and pride ourselves on being 'unblond', so we thought 'dumb blondes trying to look smart' hit the nail on th head.
How do you know each other?
Roy and I are a couple and Grace is Roy's supercool daughter.
Why did you decide to do the Amazing New York Race?
I saw it announced on eventme.com and thought it would be a fun event to see the city, have some good laughs and to do something challenging together. I used to love doing treasure hunts as a kid, so this brings back great memories!
What was your favorite part?
The costumes definitely made the whole experience even better. Roy got several comments from guys saying "I wish I had a full head of hair like you" and Grace looked so adorable with her shimmery eye makeup and her glamor wig that we got a lot of looks from people in the street, thinking we must be insane or something. We loved seeing so many parts of the city and having to figure out where the clues had to be found with quite a few time restrictions. We also had fun watching Grace do the candy challenge. She had to taste them while blindfolded and she got almost all of them right. We were mega impressed!
Why would you recommend it?
The Amazing Race was a great way to spend a day with fun people, see the city, use your brain, and goof off all under the guise of having to complete challenges. Asking strange people to pose in weird poses in front of the camera was absolutely fun!
