Ex-NFL cheerleaders Jaime & Cara remain the most difficult to figure out "Amazing Race 14" team for this blogger to figure out for a second consecutive leg. Luke may think that Jaime & Cara are nice but that doesn't help me very much to analyze them as racers.
The plane equalization lifted Jaime & Cara back up into the first tier of racers, but they made one of the later departures from Munich airport and still trailed most of the field after Cara did the Roadblock. In fact, Cara held out a long time before switching from paragliding to running down the mountain. That patience actually worked against the team as making a quick decision was better there than making a correct one.
To their credit tough, Jaime and Cara avoided the travel issues that hit them the previous leg. With a vehicle in their own control, they took advantage of others' navigational issues, completing the Segway Roadblock en route to a sixth place finish.
So far, Jaime & Cara haven't either been exceptional or exceptionally controversial. With their backgrounds and independent streaks, one imagines they can meet any challenges that await them but we simply haven't seen such challenges emerge yet.
