Hey everyone! I will be doing my predicitons on how well I think each team will do. I'll see how much I can do right now (It's 10 PM) and I'll try to finish it on Saturday. So here's the first team.

The Gaghans
This team looks like it will be solid. There doesn't seem to be any family tensions and they seem to be capable enough. There are other things that will make them do well. Tammy used to teach in Korea, so she should know a thing or two about international travel and other cultures. Both Tammy and Bill seem very physically fit as they run a lot of marathons. Marathons are very hard! But the parents seem to have a fault, and that is that Bill says he is impatient. That could hurt their closeness as a team if one person isn't content witht the current situation, but I really don't think that this will be a drastic fault. It could be good because it could motivate them to try to do things faster.

Now to look at the kids. Both are active. They enjoy running, like their parents. These are not sit home and play video games kids. These are play with the dog, run around, toss the football kids. They will do well. I'm sure they can hold up with the others. Carissa will be a great joy to the team. Billy seems to be going through typical teenage mood swings, but I'm sure that he will be fine. Both want to prove to their parents of how good they are, meaning they will always be trying their best. Having kids could hurt you, because they may not be as physically able as the others, but they bring other talents. Fresh eyes and more alert senses for one, and also they can help allievaite stress.

Overall, the Gaghan family is a front-runner team. Don't let the fact they have ittle adorable Carissa fool you. I predict at the very least a Top 5 finish for them, possibly Top 3.

Schroeders are next.

The Schroeders
There are three teams who stick out in my mind as teams that will do really poorly. The Schroeders are one of them. This family doesn't seem very happy. Let's look into this family in more detail.

Mark seems like he will be sort of like Jonathan of TAR6. Of course minus the physical contact. I don't know, I'm getting a negative vibe from him. Usually people who claim they are arrogant and confident (not confident in a good way.) usually are. This is one person I'm not sure about.

Char is not the original mother of the family, which could cause some problems depending on how recently she married Mark. It is not stated. She seems nice enough and her part seems to be to hold the family together. That is admirable, but that shows me that your family has enough problems to have someone need to be the go to person to fix something. And during the stress of the race, family conflicts will be magnified. That's one of the main reasons I think this team won't work.

Next we have Stassi. Stassi looks like she will be interesting. She is the kind of girl at your school who has a lot of friends and is at the top of the social ladder. I wonder how she will do in less that stellar envrionments. She says she is adventurous, but I'm not convinced.

Hunter bugs me. He seems rebellious and looks to me like he has some sort of attitude. He doesn't seem like a person that will always try to do the best he can do and that will hurt his team.

This team says they are ultra-competitve. They seem physically fit enough but after reading their bio, I don't think this team will be functional enough to be ultra-competitve. I'm prediciting a bottom three finish.

Next are the Aiellos.

Oh and remember, these are just my opinions from reading the bios. They may change during the actual race.

Just want to say that when the profile board is up, I'll probably move what you posted to their individual profiles. Or maybe you can move them yourselves later (copying and pasting).
