Vipul and Arti are the first Indian-American team to run the Race. Both speak several languages and are well-traveled. Vipul admits to being a bit overzealous, while Arti takes great pride in her ability to reign in his emotions and focus his strengths - a skill she will undoubtedly be forced to call upon while racing around the world.

This team sounds like they may be fun to watch...either that, or very annoying. Either way, I can't wait to find out!

They made a mistake on the CBS website.  They have this pair as best friends and not married.

[terrytoad]

Which means ya can't be married and be best friends, right?

[gill332211]

I was just saying that you would think they would have married on there instead of best friends.

[terrytoad]

No, I'm agreeing with that.  You can't be married and be best friends.

Their ability to speak many languages may be an asset- although they may be more Indian local languages as opposed to languages derived from Latin. I'm pegging them as a team that will be strong mentally- physically though? We'll see.

Sorry to see this team go so fast. I wanted to see more of them.

[Rejuvenated]

Ditto StarBaby and rock.

[AR_Rocks]

Yeah, me too. I was interested in seeing how both of the first two eliminated teams would do. Oh well...

I'm really sorry to see these guys go.  There are so many others I would like to see gone, and these guys were early faves of mine!  Shoot!

[Methos]

They seemed nice.  She is pretty.  

[TheStilesClan]

I was sad to see them go as well they seemed really sweet. Hopefully they will do well in life.

[DeadMidgetWalking]

Not many to like this year, and I liked this team, sad they're gone.

[Depeche221]

Wish we could have gotten more time with these 2. They seemed like good people worth cheering for.
