‘The Amazing Race’ says adios to one of its North Texas teams

One down, one to go.

One of the two Dallas teams on the latest and 28th edition of The Amazing Race was sent home Friday night at the end of the second show of the season. The team of Southwest Airlines flight attendant Marty Cobb and her daughter Hagan Parkman got the boot after coming in last in a competition in Cartagena, Colombia. They were the first team to leave the show as the season premiere was a non-elimination round.

That leaves the team of friends/Ultimate Frisbee pros Brodie Smith and Kurt Gibson to represent North Texas.

The gimmick this year for the reality show/race around the world for $1 million is that each of the 11 teams are made up of at least one Internet star whose videos have gone viral. Cobb is known for a video of her giving passengers unconventional pre-flight safety instructions.

“We have different strengths,” Cobb told our David Martindale before the season began about her daughter. “I have life experiences that hopefully would help us out. She has youth and strength and energy. We complemented each other so much.”

“I’m the take-charge type — that’s my personality,” Parkman added in the same interview. “I jump on the situation. I just want to get it done. Which sometimes is the same as acting without thinking.”

As for Smith and Gibson, the former claims he has 1.2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel showing off Frisbee tricks. They follow in the footsteps of last season’s athletic Texas twosome Tanner Kloven of Fort Worth and Josh Ahern of Dallas -- aka Team Texas or the Boys from Dallas -- who made it deep into the 27th season before getting cut in Agra, India.

We’ll have to see can do as well as Kloven and Ahern -- or maybe even better.
