Dade Posted September 9, 2009 Mika and Canaan Biography Mika Combs (22); Canaan Smith (26) Hometown: Nashville, Tenn. Occupation: Aspiring Singer/Professional Songwriter Relationship: Newly Dating These southern sweethearts will charm you with their fresh faces and wide-eyed enthusiasm for life. They have only been dating for a few months, but admit to spending every waking hour together since they fell in love. Mika grew up in Hazard, Ky. and moved to Nashville, Tenn. two years ago to pursue a career in country music. She claims to excel in high pressure situations, but admits to often breaking down in tears when she gets upset. Her favorite hobbies include singing, dancing and riding four-wheelers. Canaan is a professional songwriter who is looking at the Race as an opportunity to grow his relationship with Mika. Mika believes that Canaan can be way too demanding, while he believes she can be too sensitive. He lists his favorite activities to do with Mika as writing songs and making out. Neither one of them has traveled extensively outside of Canaan's mission trip to Mexico with his church, but they have no doubt that their love will take them to the finish line and the $1 million prize.

ZuZuMamou Posted September 10, 2009 My Prediction: He'll yell, she'll cry they'll fall madly in love he'll write the country songs that make her fanous and she'll divorce him after the first album comes out. Oh wait, Race-wise? She's going to be the stressed out crying girl and he'll be the guy who can't believe how little she can actually do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Posted September 10, 2009 Could be interesting. I love those Southerners and love Country music. Maybe he will sing for us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SugarB Posted September 10, 2009 I just shuddered at the thought of that awful stupid guy on the bachelorette. Please if he sings, let it be a good song, and I don't want to listen to the same song over and over and over..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mendes56 Posted September 28, 2009 I find them somewhat entertaining and think she is a very beautiful girl. Him... not so sure about. I'm always suspicious of those pronouncing their Christianity on reality shows. Don't talk about being religious, live it through your actions! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsnotbb9 Posted September 28, 2009 I kinda like them. I think she's beautiful and really sweet, she actually seems too good for him. lol He's only ok for me so far, he seems like he can be a bit mean and like Mendes56 said I don't like the fact that he made a point of pronouncing his religion in the first like 5 minutes they were on the show.

symanticc Posted September 29, 2009 She looks even better on TV than here. Do they have hair stylists? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholle Posted September 29, 2009 I like them so far. Last night after I heard him say he wrote/co-wrote a song currently on country charts. I was curious, I'm a huge country music fan. It's a song called Runaway by Love and Theft. It's one of my favorite songs right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingOfRealityTV Posted October 26, 2009 I can't believe I'm going to say this...................wait for it............................. I agree with you! It's true I think, a few times I have given a head tilt to how he treats her... He was no support whatsoever on the slide, in fact he totally worked her into a frenzy.. I thought he was going to push her... Too pushy, not a good sign... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Posted October 26, 2009 She really should not have gone on the show with such phobias. Sweet girl but I can see a lot of trouble ahead if she doesn't get a handle on her fears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevea11 Posted October 26, 2009 How in the hell do you apply for TAR, get past all the screening, make the final cut knowing full well you have a fear of heights so bad you can't even go down a stupid super slide. I know her BF is a complete jerk but I felt his frustration. Going that far only to lose because your partner can't make it down a slide! ARRRRRGH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SueZqueZ Posted October 26, 2009 I agree Steven, his frustration was justified, just wish he could of handled it better. And she should not of been on the race. Glad it happened in this leg and not on one of the final legs!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jersey721 Posted October 26, 2009 This might be the first time that a team actually was eliminated that deserved to be eliminated. I can honestly say I've never seen a grown woman wearing arm floaties. Hysterical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
