PART 6
Sanders
What is your best quality?
I understand all the rules about how to be a good cop. That, and my innate professionalism.

Describe your favorite country.
Germany is one of my favorites. I'm not sure why, except that I admire how their police force works. German police are as good as Canadian or American cops.
Best travel so far?
I had a lot of fun at Universal California a couple years before I applied at the police academy. My favorite things there were the rides, especially the Simpsons Ride.
Worst travel so far?
I was visiting the Boston Marathon, when the terrorist bombings took place there. I remember feeling scared and helpless to catch the bombers or help people, because my training as a policewoman wasn't (and still isn't) complete, and I couldn't help with any of the more dangerous work, as much as I wanted to.
What is your lifelong to-do list?
I just want to be a humble police officer, serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law. You don't get a cookie for guessing where I got that phrase from!
If you could switch places with someone?
Olivia Benson. She's fictional, yes, but she's also spirited, strong, and doesn't flinch in the face of male authority, and I've never seen one woman hold onto her job and her sanity so well in the face of so many adult crimes.
Your biggest challenge on the Race with your partner?
MacArthur's tough as nails, and she's also such a show-off, especially with her "glutes." I'm afraid sometimes that she won't make it through the academy because of her lack of professionalism and her macho attitude.
Where would you most like to visit, and why?
India. That nation has the most amazing architecture, particularly the Taj Mahal and all its temples and mosques, and I'd like to see how the Indians live their everyday lives, no matter whether they're rich or poor.
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
MacArthur's more interested in the prize money than I am, but I suppose I might use some of it to pay for some extra years and training at the academy. I might also use a little to buy a nice house and pay all the price of it at once.

Stephanie
What is your best quality?
My sharp, competitive edge and my charm as a lady.

• Baby blue
• The Blues Brothers

Describe your favorite country.
I don't usually think about having a favorite country, sorry.
Best travel so far?
I've never traveled before.
Worst travel so far?
I already said, I've never traveled before. Stop repeating the same old question over and over!
What is your lifelong to-do list?
I want to enjoy a good, long, loving life with my hubby, Ryan, with plenty of soul food and music, lots of Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles songs (Ryan loves Ray Charles' music), and a never-ending love affair of making out.
If you could switch places with someone?
How about Rosa Parks? She's a black celebrity in her time, and I've got the same audacity she did to stand up for my own rights.
Your biggest challenge on the Race with your partner?
Ryan's such a big, tough guy, and sweet, but sometimes he can be a bit clumsy, especially when trying to do certain physical stunts. It doesn't help anything that he's 75% upper body and 25% lower body!
Where would you most like to visit, and why?
I'd most like to see the Rocky Mountains in western America. Except for some of the mountains in Alaska, they're the biggest, tallest mountains in the U.S., and I've always wanted to go on a mountain hike.
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
I would go out and buy lots of classy dresses, buy a mansion in the suburbs, and repay Ryan's gifts with some gifts of my own.
Tammy
What is your best quality?
I know more magic spells than anyone else on the planet!

Describe your favorite country.
I haven't been there yet, but my favorite country is Scotland in the U.K. The ancient castles that dot the landscape are so awesome, and the history of the old Scottish people is rooted in myth and legend.
Best travel so far?
I did get to England once, and it's one of the world's classiest countries. It's where The Lord of the Kings came from, and London is the most astounding city I've seen, with its best feature being Big Ben.
Worst travel so far?
France is not as great a country as so many people give it credit for. The French aren't very fond of North Americans, and their cuisine leaves a lot to be desired. Besides, nobody would take my magic seriously there.
What is your lifelong to-do list?
Become a champion at playing the game of chess, invent my own ingenious LARP game, create a spell which can turn people into frogs for real, and convince the world that magic is real.
If you could switch places with someone?
Nerida, from Bold. She was one brave heroine in that movie, and she believed that magic was real, like her mother, and like me.
Your biggest challenge on the Race with your partner?
I'm pretty confident Leonard and I can handle any situation we get into without fighting or quarreling.
Where would you most like to visit, and why?
Scotland, of course. There's no better place to go than the location where Marty Anaconda filmed their hilarious King Arthur mock-up, Quest for the Sacred Cup!
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
I'd like to help Leonard make Dragon Coins out of the money, and build a mythical realm like in a MMORPG. Imagine how cool that would be!
Taylor
What is your best quality?
I'm cool, I'm cute, I'm pretty, and I've got this game in the bag.

Describe your favorite country.
Who needs a favorite country? I have more important things to worry about, like polishing and filing my nails, and trying on lipstick, and spending more time with daddy and less time with mom.
Best travel so far?
The only travel I enjoy is when I "travel" to the mall for a shopping spree, buying as many fancy dresses and make-up kits as I can, though I still prefer if daddy can get a lot of it for me.
Worst travel so far?
Going on this absurd race with my mother.
What is your lifelong to-do list?
I have no special plans, but I do intend to keep getting whatever I want whenever I want as life goes by. And if mom has a problem with it, what can I do about it? I'll tell you what. I can use some daddy's girl persuasion to convince dad to divorce her.
If you could switch places with someone?
Anybody who can get anything they want in life and not have a fussy, bratty mother hounding their every move.
Your biggest challenge on the Race with your partner?
With mom as my partner, things are bound to get screwed up. She needs to learn to take my advice about perfection, as well as take some well-deserved time outs.
Where would you most like to visit, and why?
If I have to travel, I'd like to see Paris. It's like, the most gorgeous city in the world, filled with romance, gowns, and sparkling fountains. The Eiffel Tower isn't too eiffel, either-I mean, awful! Do yourself a favor and ignore that slip of the tongue!
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
I'm not sure, but I wouldn't share my share with mom, that's for sure! Maybe daddy and I could use it together to make my up and coming adult life grandiose, or something.
Tom
What is your best quality?
My sharp eyes for spotting good (and bad) fashions on strangers.

• Zooflyer

Describe your favorite country.
England is purely amazing. I like the fashions that old Englishmen used to wear, like sport coats, waistcoats (as they called vests), brass or gold buttons, shiny shoes, and dashing trousers. And while that style isn't nearly as popular as it used to be, I'd like to try to bring it to modern Canada.
Best travel so far?
Oxford in Britain has the trendiest fashions I've seen in modern times. Plus, it has some excellent universities for teaching English-speaking lessons.
Worst travel so far?
The native tribes of South America don't know what they're missing out on when it comes to looking great! I'd never say it to them, I have too much tact, but their primitive clothing is an eyesore!
What is your lifelong to-do list?
Become a famous fashion designer, maintain a lasting partnership with Jen, maybe a romantic one someday, and introduce Canada and America to the status of the most fashionable people in the world.
If you could switch places with someone?
I know his character's pure evil, but I'd like to be dressed like Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (not Emperor Palpatine or Darth Sidious). His chancellor's robes are very impressive and flamboyant, and I love the colors.
Your biggest challenge on the Race with your partner?
Jen sometimes refuses to see what is so wonderful about some of my ideas for new fashion. She likes to stick to her own guns. It's like we have creative differences!
Where would you most like to visit, and why?
Mexico. I'd like to see their fashion, too, and their fiestas are supposed to be a lot of fun, too.
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
I'd invest in even more trendy fashions and make an even bigger fortune distributing them across Canada, and maybe the world.
