Amazing Race – Season 17 Snap Judgments

These two seem adorable. They could be the Jim & Pam of the race, since when they met, Stephanie was engaged to her boyfriend of seven years (keeping in mind she’s all of 23). They’ve now been together for about 8 months and have already bought a new house together. No pressure! She’s a hair stylist and former Miss USA contestant, and he’s in the corporate world. He’d like to trade places with Matthew McConaughey and she impressed with Kelly Ripa (so she’s likely to get along with Brook, who idolizes the pint-size talk show hostess as well). Until further notice, they’re incredibly normal. (mw)
