Debbie & Bianca are best friends from Los Angeles, California and Woodbridge, Virginia, respectively. Bianca is a high school teacher and Debbie works as a photographer. Their primary motivation for participating in the Race is to travel the world with each other and put their combined traveling skills to the test. Bianca graduated from James Madison University with a B.A. in International Affairs and Spanish Art History. She currently works as a high school teacher and claims to be a prude in comparison to her teammate. Bianca’s favorite hobbies are traveling, reading and going out with friends. Debbie, who graduated summa cum laude from The College of William and Mary in under three years, is currently a freelance photographer in Los Angeles. A wild child at heart, she once worked as a stripper for a month. Debbie enjoys going to art museums, surfing and reading classic literature. These best friends are well traveled, and both have lived abroad throughout their lives. They feel their years of traveling has prepared them for this moment, and they are ready to race. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race7/teams/debbie/

This could be a team that could do well...this team reminds me of Lena/Kristy (they'd better pray there are no haybales this time...)

They do look pretty good... and I'm still waiting for a female/female team to win this thing!

These best friends are well traveled, and both have lived abroad throughout their lives. I hope this means this will be the team who will connect with the locals. The teams that always do are always a pleasure to watch.

I liked them until they tricked Ron and Kelly. I'm all for lying and backstabbing, (I'm as big of a Boston Rob fan as they come) ............. EXCEPT when it's against my favorite team. Oh well, at least it gives me someone to "love to hate." That's always some fun.

I don't like them. They've got the diva-type personalities that I assumed Megan and Heidi would have. I gotta quit stereotyping. But I've gotta admit, they're extremely strong racers, and should be around for awhile

I don't care for these two at all. They were good this episode, but let's see how strong they are when they're in a country where they don't speak the language. That's more telling to me.

They seemed to be playing up to the cameras a lot and that started to annoy me. I also thought it was a bad move to try to misinform other racers so early in the race - especially when they had zero to gain my doing so. They were already on the first flight and the people the misinformed were not the bigger threats in the game. It gained them nothing and lost them the chance for allies in the future. Since the are arguing (for the cameras) again in episode 2 in the promo, this just cemented my opinion of them as playing to the cameras. I'm really pretty bummed about it because the appear to be a team who could do well in the race. Why go out of your way to be unlikable?

They are strong, at least in a Spanish speaking milieu,but I didn't care for them at all last night.

Even though they argued (minimally!) I really like this team. I don't think they display diva-personalities, but they have very open spirits and are kind of zany (If you have ever been on a high school improv team like I have, you'll know what I mean!).

Debbie strikes me as a whiner - one of my least favorite types of people!

I dislike them. They were the first team to be deceitful and the first to complain when they found out they had been outsmarted by Rob & Amber about the buses. If you can't handle the heat....

And their deceit wasn't going to get them ahead in the game! They already had their ticket and gratuitously "helped" another team by mis-directing them to the cache of later tickets, when earlier ones were available. Now if that team had ASKED them for help, maybe it would be more okay with me.. And I don't enjoy watching them, thus far. Plus.. this is totally tongue in cheek.. but some would say that they already won $20,000 so they "deserve" the win less.

Clio runs in to the Debbie and Bianca thread, does a little happy victory dance, and then quickly runs back out.

How I wonder does the team with the only really strong Spanish speaker drive two and a half hours in the wrong direction? How long did they drive along the ocean before wondering where the mountains were? Why, when they got a map showing how to get out of the city, did they not think it would be a good idea to get a map that showed how to get to their destination? And GUYS are supposed to be bad about not asking directions?

Easy, they're blondes ........... (and I can say that because I am one.) Personally, I think it was karma coming back to bite them in the butt over the whole "you lied to us Rob!!!" drama.

LOL about the happy victory dance! TNT.. I agree.. although Rob was speaking more than just a couple of words of Spanish tonight.. I think he has a skill and just isn't talking about it, just using it! That will go away when they leave that continent, unless they go to Spain.
