RIT on TV News: Alum Stars on Amazing Race

13WHAM-TV previews the upcoming season of the CBS series The Amazing Race, featuring RIT/NTID alumnus Luke Adams and his mom.

There's a Rochester connection to the newest season of The Amazing Race. 2007 RIT graduate Luke Adams and his mom Margie will compete on season 14. Luke is the first deaf racer to compete on the show. Luke lives back home in Colorado now. He says he hopes this opportunity allows him to be a role model to the deaf community.

Luke: A lot of deaf people think you can't go on TV, or shouldn't apply for different things. I want to give deaf people hope, that's what I want to do.

The duo believes their ability to communicate with sign-will be an advantage in the competion.

They are the sneakiest players this season, but they act so fucking innocent. All they want is sympathy. Luke's problem isn't him being deaf, it's him being a dumb ass mother fucker.
