Charla Faddoul

Charla is the only midget to have ever run the race and is a part of one of only three female teams to reach the Top 3 of The Amazing Race.



Charla ia an Armenian American born in Syria. She can speak a lot of languages including English, Armenian, Spanish and Arabic.



Charla went on The Amazing Race 5 to prove to the world that small people can do anything. She certainly did when she and Mirna finished second three times throughout the course of the race, before finishing sixth.



In The Amazing Race All-Stars, she returned to give the race another shot. This time, she performed tasks that people of regular height would find difficult and she race her way with Mirna into third place. However, they won two consecutive legs and managed to beat out rivals Rob & Amber in the fourth leg of the race.



Charla is my favourite person to ever have run The Amazing Race.

She really made season 5 of The Amazing Race. It was easy to route for her because she was the underdog with a disadvantage and she tried harder than anyone else in the race. It was great to see her overcome so much and even take on a leadership role on her team. On both season 5 and allstars it was great to see her somehow manage to make it through each week. She also provided an element of comedy to the show, with the way her and her cousin interacted. Some people did not like her because she was annoying and hyprocritical but I thought it was great to see her overcome the near impossible.

Casting Charla is another in a long line of chances the folks at Amazing Race take which pays off. He can do attitute along with her team-mate seem to bring the show up instead of pulling it down. She is generally fun and just herself. Recently she appeared on Celebrity Poker Showdown and came in 3rd place.

For me, Charla and Mirna are the best team to ever be in The Amazing Race. Lots of people might disagree, but for me, they MADE the season. Not only that, it was the first time I actually got ADDICTED to The Amazing Race.



What's not to love about them? They had all the best moments in TAR and not even Rob can top that. Sneaking out of the airport early in the morning, all the fights with Colin, made TAR5 great! TAR5 was the season where everyone had an opinion, you either loved them or you hated them. I miss TAR5.
