Team Name: Pat & Brenda
Team Affiliation: Team SuperMom
Place in the Race: 9th
Place in Our Hearts: 5th
Summary: Never underestimate the SuperMoms. Pat & Brenda demonstrated that jumping off cliffs and whitewater rafting are a piece of cake. They've borne children. Nothing will ever faze them again.
Affiliation Commentary: They admitted that they had their daughters within two months of each other. Synchronized childbirth is a little creepy.
Fatal Flaw: Going to the wrong Foucault's Pendulum, an early nail in the coffin of the clever, ambiguous clue, since, how were they supposed to know that there were two Foucault's Pendulums in Paris? Their exit felt a little unfair, and set rules changes in motion that both weakened and improved the Race.
Memorable Moment: Their admission at the very first Detour that they were scared to death, but doing it anyway. The jauntily tilted sunglasses were a nice touch.
All-Star Material: They probably deserve a second shot, but future moms trumped them, sadly.
