Amazing Race – Season 17 Snap Judgments

Brook and Claire

Brook swears she’s 27 but she looks and sounds much older. Kind of like if Hannah Montana was a home shopping hostess, which is what these best friends do together every day. Claire, incidentally, says she’s 30 and she looks older, too. I guessing hosting on HSN is more taxing than I thought. They’re out to play the damsel in distress card while secretly being the most kick-ass all girl team ever. We’ve heard this many times before, but these women seem rather determined, and since they probably sell Joan Rivers jewelry and Marie Osmond dolls and so forth all day long, it’s a safe bet they’re, like, extra pushy.
