Deirdre & Hillary


Mother and daughter Deidre and Hillary have done quite a bit of traveling together. When Deidre was a flight attendant, she sometimes pulled Hillary out of school and took her on trips. When they travel, Hillary's pet peeve is when Deidre combs her hair and gets it all over the bathroom floor. But "she is so much fun to be around," Hillary adds, "We laugh like crazy people when we are together."

Deidre and Hillary decided to team up for THE AMAZING RACE because, in Hillary's words, "Who wouldn't want two SENSATIONAL girls to make the world laugh?" She adds, "I think this experience will help my mom see life through my eyes and understand me more as a friend and not only as a daughter."

QUESTIONAIRE

What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team?

DEIDRE: I prefer to think things through rather than jump to conclusions. I'm also mature and have a good sense of humor. On the other hand, I tend to procrastinate and take too long making decisions.

HILLARY: I am a ham and I'm too controlling. Maybe more like a rebel, a cross between polka dots and blue paisley or Bob Marley and Gwen Stefani?

What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team?

DEIDRE: My daughter has many strengths: she's rebellious, free spirited and individualistic. She's everybody's best friend. She does, however tend to be too controlling.

HILLARY: My Mom is a cross between Jackie Brown, Ru Paul and the Crocodile Hunter. Hopefully, all personalities can come together and eat off each other's plates.

What is your favorite film?

DEIDRE: The Joy Luck Club
HILLARY: Slam

What is your favorite TV show?

Hillary and Deidre were wonderful on Rosie's show yesterday. I just happened to turn it on so I missed the first minute or two, but they were full of high spirits, so they seem to be dealing well with being the first ones off. I think Hillary said that they were chosen because she did a Cher imitation (I hope I heard that right, those were the first words when I tuned in) and her mother flashed the cameraman. Deidre was saying, well not really, but maybe kind of ... and giggling.

I would certainly say there were some spoilers.
I am a little discouraged now. I figure the first half of the race, losers hang out and the rest get droped on their own along the way.
But if you are first out, who do you think your best friends are going to be? They need to train these people better.
