Donny Ketchum September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 Hi. We're best friends and former NFL cheerleaders. We're also the first Hispanic women's team since TAR12's Marianna & Julia. I'm kind of endeared to them knowing that one is in healthcare and the other works with kids. I think they could be a very nice, fun team to watch. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31259-s27-tiffany-krista/
Lantern7 September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 Unless I'm mistaken, I think Krista is the first Staten Islander to run a "regular" race since Danielle & Danni in TAR9. Since she isn't seen dancing on a table and talking about how she's going to flirt to win, I'd say she made a good first impression. Here's hoping I can tell her apart from Tiffany. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31259-s27-tiffany-krista/#findComment-1473756
Vyas September 14, 2015 Share September 14, 2015 We're also the first Hispanic women's team since TAR12's Marianna & Julia. False, Krista's heritage is Italian.

TheRabbi September 14, 2015 Share September 14, 2015 I am a lifelong Jets fan, so I have to have some pre-race affection for them. Plus, I was defending them when someone complained that the Race no longer casts "normal" people. Granted, this season does have an awful lot of good-looking folks, but cheerleaders are normal people that try to make ends meet like the rest of us. There was a lot of controversy in the last few years about how horribly paid some teams' cheerleaders are. Have we met at a prior TARCon? I'm generally terrible at matching screennames to faces. But I agree that this would be a great season to revive TARCon, however faint the dream may be. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31259-s27-tiffany-krista/#findComment-1505483

Vyas September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 Au contraire, a stunt-casted pair like Ernest and Jin would make for better allies than the other East Coast team, superfans Justin and Diana. BTW, I first learned about TARCON while S23 was airing, and as a lurker at TwoP, my piqued interest led me to Lantern7's album where your bespectacled mug would later be a cause for deja-vu once #TeamCheerleaders appeared.

Donny Ketchum September 26, 2015 Author Share September 26, 2015 Whew. These girls had a pretty heavy set of bad breaks, all from cabs. They were last to the helicopters because of one, after all, and were forced out of another cab far from where the Detour was. But I give them props for staying as calm as they could (though I'm sure it wasn't easy to remain as such) when they realized they were in the back of the pack and finishing that Sidewalk Detour. They definitely deserved to stay in it after that. I like these girls and hope they can surprise everyone. This first leg was a result of cabs, mostly, so hopefully, they can recover and stay in it for a while. I still don't know which cheerleader is which.

Lantern7 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 Looks like the "thing" is interchangeable, which will bug me to no end. On the bright side, Krista shined on the Roadblock, and she gets bonus points for doing the (lateral) tango with the greeter.

They seemed to struggle with the Detour and got snippy with each other for a moment, but Krista made up the time at the Roadblock and seemed to be one of the very few to finish it on her first try. Excellent recovery after last week, and a well-deserved sixth-place finish.

Paron Xanthis October 10, 2015 Share October 10, 2015 Okay. So these girls finished low again. But I'm wondering if the constant confessionals seen from them even when they're not near the front are a sign of good things to come? Tiffany, while frustrated, didn't lose her calm with that Roadblock. And even though they were both left crestfallen with leaving behind their whip at the Detour decision point, they just buckled down and ran back to get it. Good form, girls. Good form. That said, they need to pick it up. I imagine Ernest & Jin would've knocked them right out if they hadn't been so far behind. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31259-s27-tiffany-krista/#findComment-1587597

Lantern7 October 17, 2015 Share October 17, 2015 Not much to report.

While I'm still having trouble telling them apart, I'm happy they cashed in on the mistakes of other teams to come within sniffing distance of the front of the pack.

Bryce Smith October 24, 2015 Share October 24, 2015 @Lantern7, Tiffany is taller than Krista, who has much darker skin. That can help you tell them apart. Glad to see them get out from the back. It was stupid to blow their U-Turn on a team who had to have passed by it by that point. But despite the tears, they said they wanted out of the back of the pack, and they fought their way out of it. Krista nailed the Roadblock, they did the Detour quickly enough (Crocs was definitely better for them than Canoes), and they actually knew to look for the skulls at the lion task. They did the balancing well enough, too, and came in a well-deserved fifth place. Great comeback, ladies! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/31259-s27-tiffany-krista/#findComment-1635383
Lingo October 24, 2015 Share October 24, 2015 Out of the 4 teams in the back, they were the only ones not to make a bone-head mistake this week (if you don't count the u-turn), and that more than anything else is why they came in 5th this week.

Bryce Smith October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 Best leg yet for these two! They nailed both Roadblocks, and they were the only team to clear the Drops Mic Detour on the first try! Would've been nice to see them slide past Justin & Diana, but that might've been editing, and they were farther ahead than they made it seem. Still, second place was very much deserved.

Dale Griffin November 7, 2015 Share November 7, 2015 Another fine leg for them! Krista struggled just a tiny bit at the Roadblock, but they picked what was definitely the right Detour for them and were the only team to go with Skip. Had they just been just a few steps faster in catching the tram Justin & Diana were on to the Detour, and maybe got an earlier train to the Hague, they might've won this leg! Also, I won't blame them too much for thinking Rotterdam was in Germany.

I don't know what Krista's vision is like (if she wears contacts) but if your vision really sucks (like mine) it might have taken longer. It looked like too that Krista wasn't always looking DOWN... it was painful to see that she was right there and the fishies were either next to her or right behind her.
