Abbie Ginsberg and Ryan Danz

Dating divorcees Abbie Ginsberg and Ryan Danz were the seventh team eliminated from the 21st season of The Amazing Race. The couple found themselves in a bit of a pickle trying to get to Amsterdam this past week where they created a tableau vivant and pole-vaulted ditches.  They also happened to be U-turned by their alliance members Jaymes and James who felt terrible doing it, and ended up costing them the race, but after all, this is a race around the world for a million dollars. MSN Canada caught up with Abbie and Ryan to discuss their highlights and their feelings towards Jaymes and James:

You guys looked devastated at the end of last week’s episode, so before we get to the Chippendale’s incident and getting your thoughts on that, let’s start with your highlights of being on The Amazing Race.
Ryan: The coolest thing for me was the way we started. I have a tremendous fear of heights so the very first thing we did was a repel off the bridge and the best part of that was we were hooked up together on the same rope and I wasn’t ready to come off the ledge yet.  I hadn’t gotten the nerve up to do it and my cute sweet little innocent girlfriend decided to fly off and yank me off with her! So I’m dangling 140 feet in the air about to pee myself, but thanks to her I overcame my fear. I wasn’t ready to overcome my fear but that was a really cool moment for me.
Abbie: For me, running to the pitstop for the very first time. You know, running up the stairs, and you hear the undercover guy with the mic going, “first team in, first team in” and you’re like, “oh my gosh, this us” and we ran and jumping on the mat and knowing that it’s your experience finally and it’s not something you’ve been watching on TV for the past eight years.
