Dade Posted October 24, 2007 Rachel & TK Dating for almost one year Rachel: Huntington Beach, CA 23, Florist/Store Owner TK: Huntington Beach, CA 22, Substitute Teacher Rachel & TK have only been dating for close to a year. Both of their moms were friends while they were growing up in Huntington Beach, California, yet they had never really spent anytime together until only recently. This fun-loving couple is always laughing and is eager to see if their relationship can stand up to the rigors of the Race. Rachel owns her own high-style flower shop. She describes herself as bright and ambitious and claims that the biggest difference between she and TK are the lives they've led. He was a collegiate athlete at UC Santa Barbara while she stayed home and bought a business and started working straight out of high school. TK currently makes his living as a substitute teacher. He describes himself as dedicated, witty and intelligent. TK swam in college and was voted team captain of the swim team. He also held the all-time record in the 200-meter backstroke at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). This free-spirited Team is looking to share the adventure of a lifetime together and maybe win $ 1 million prize in the process. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kayo Posted October 25, 2007 This team looks like they'll be lots of fun and their adventurous spirit and his swimming ability may be a definite asset. I'm putting my money on them to go far...(no spoiler at all- just wishful thinking!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erinjs Posted October 25, 2007 He looks awesome. Plus he teaches which is a bonus! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCS Posted November 2, 2007 They always have swimming comps......that'll be a plus for Tk! Cute couple! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crustylugholes Posted November 4, 2007 Uhm... I'm thinking he's probably a pretty big slacker. Substitute teacher = works when he feels like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scuba Posted November 5, 2007 Uhm... I'm thinking he's probably a pretty big slacker. Substitute teacher = works when he feels like it. sooooooooooooooo not true! have you ever subbed before?? i like these guys. another fav team of mine! they seem to compliment each other well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mendes56 Posted November 5, 2007 I like this team too. They got a little turned around on the way to the pit stop but there wasn't the whining or sniping we saw from other teams. I hope they do well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erinjs Posted November 6, 2007 substitute=slaker, ha, right. that's what I am right now because no fulltime jobs were open. You go try it, gotta have guts to substitute. My second fav team. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fizzle Posted November 6, 2007 i just really really want to brush his hair. especially up at the roots. and hers could use a good brushing too. maybe a pony tail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crustylugholes Posted November 7, 2007 Wow! I better clarify what I meant by "substitute = works when he feels like it." I did not mean that ALL substitute teachers are slackers. I did mean that as a substitute you do not have to take the job when the phone rings in the AM (Or whenever you're called) In this state a sub is like an on-call teacher. If a teacher gets ill and they call for a sub, the substitute can decline the job for what ever reason they have. Even, 'Nope...I think I will sleep until noon-ish and then lounge around in my boxers and watch game shows for the rest of the afternoon. ' Which is how I pictured little Mr. TKs' response to a phone call asking him to come in and sub for a day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chatterbox Posted November 8, 2007 LOL Crusty... As an ex-substitute that is how it is in NorCal. I was lucky though. After a month I got in with a school and only subbed there and knew ahead of time. No morning calls here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jersey721 Posted November 8, 2007 Uhm... I'm thinking he's probably a pretty big slacker. Substitute teacher = works when he feels like it. Funny as hell. I'm sorry I didn't see it the day you posted it. I would have dubbed it "Line Of The Day". Male slacker + female enterpreneur = short term relationship OR long term if the female with low self-esteem variable exists. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElleNaturelle Posted November 9, 2007 Substitute teachers are actually quite busy. Before I got on with the board, I was getting several calls a day..I never got to just be off! Also, ppl aren't always subs by choice, they have to pay their dues until they finally get in the door. Blah! Okay, enough ranting, I actually really like this couple. They work well together and seem pretty mellow. I'm routing for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
