Thanks for the list which shows that the producers of The Amazing Race do a great job of inclusion with their casts.

I just have to correct a minor point. My team-mate and brother Gerard is not gay (as far as I know:).I was the gay one-- I got a great kick out of that because of my butch factor (cough). I don't hold the sissy factor against him--just the Republican factor:). Now I am in trouble!!

I hope you are enjoying this season. I am.

Thank you so much for letting me know, sorry about the confusion! I blame Wikipedia:

I've corrected your entry (despite the url):

And yes, I am enjoying the current season, although I am much too emotionally invested in Sam & Dan winning!

All my best,
