Teri & Ian |

Team Senior Momentum |
|
2nd |
|
11th |

|
|
Retired police detective and long-suffering wife. (To be fair, Ian had to quit smoking in order to be able to come on the Race at all, which explains some things, but not all things.) |
|
We don't completely understand how it happened, since we certainly wouldn't have pegged this team as being especially tough, in spite of Eye-an's career, but this became the team that proved that Team Senior Momentum isn't on the race as cannon fodder. It helped that Teri was a strong enough competitor to stand up to her husband's guff and keep up with younger teams. |
|
Mundane: they were neck-and-neck with the other two teams until the ultimate winners beat them in getting a cab and then maintained their lead. |
|
Ian becoming a sympathetic character for one leg in Vietnam. Ian going behind the travel agent's counter. Teri's fall on the bike by Lake Geneva. "Schhhhhhhhhhhhhhmuck." |
|
They weren't memorable in the good way, but their run was impressive. Since There Must Be Villains, we'd let them play again. |
