They didn’t exactly ice the competition, but young Auburn grads Caitlin King and Brittany Fletcher’s performance in last night’s episode was good enough to keep them in The Amazing Race.
The best friends kept their cool while (much to the delight of the locals) racing a cart of ice blocks through the streets of Surabaya, Indonesia, finishing 7th. Fletcher also landed the best line of the night in an earlier challenge: “Attack that stupid balloon and let’s go!”
“The Barbies,” as they’ve been dubbed by at least a few other teams, didn’t get a lot of camera time last night, but if the preview is any indication–and that’s kind of what previews are for, right?–that’s all about to change.
You can see highlights of King and Fletcher from the first episode here.
The Amazing Race airs Sundays at 7 pm CST on CBS.

You are right about them not getting much air time. I still don’t know where to rank these girls in the grand scheme because we see so little of them. I was talking to a coworker at DISH about the show, and she was really upset about how Amy and Daniel got eliminated last night. It is a shame that some random cab driver cost them their shot at the million dollar prize. I missed the first part of the show because I was watching Once Upon a Time, but thankfully my Hopper recorded it for Primetime Anytime. It is so nice not having to worry about setting timers or having space on my hard drive, and I can keep up with all of my favorite shows on the four major networks. I hope that we get to see more of these girls next week like they were hinting in the preview and that they get a better team name.
