Kathleen's Take
Sweet Lord these two come across as boring.
The interview is all a “be all you can be” empowerment speech. They have probably delivered it at career day at the local school.
If this is who they are, they have no drive to win and will be left along the road in an early leg.
If they are playing us, they are very good at it.
Probability for fireworks, drama and screaming at the TV? 1 out of 5.
