Fill in the blank: “She knows how to ______ me down.” #AmazingRace
The Newland sisters were born and raised in Lafayette. They are the daughters of Vietnamese immigrants and can speak Vietnamese fluently. Both attended Acadiana High School and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
But that is where their similarities end. Michelle Newland explained to The Advocate, “Some sisters grow up being close. We’re just so opposite in every way — clothing tastes, music tastes, everything.”
The sisters spoke with the newspaper about how their different skill sets came into play during The Amazing Race. Michelle explained that she is the more outgoing one and had no problem approaching strangers when needed.
Victoria was described as the more “responsible” of the two due to her ability to keep track of details. Victoria told The Advocate, “I had to carry the passports and the money, the calculator and the little notebook, and she … when we were in the cab, she was yelling at me, like, ‘Hurry up and pay him!’ And I’m, like, ‘Michelle, let me use my calculator and convert everything so we don’t get gypped.'”
Fans can expect to see the Newland sisters argue during the competition. In a preview clip ahead of the premiere, host Phil Keoghan remarked that the two were known to “bicker with each other” but that he had “high hopes” that they would perform well regardless. In the clip, Michelle admitted that she was the more dramatic sister but said that Victoria knew how to calm her down in those situations.
In a separate preview clip ahead of the premiere, the Newlands said they hoped Vietnam was on the itinerary because, as they are both fluent in Vietnamese, they’d have an advantage over the other teams.
