A tipster let us in on this little gem from Mark and Jess of New Haven, Connecticut. The couple thinks they're the best pair ever for the CBS enthusiasm fest also known as The Amazing Race. The video alternates between shots of them wearing matching green polos—green is the color of intelligence, btw—and sweet photos of them hanging out all over the world. While the general emotions at play when watching the video are difficult to articulate, the contestants-to-be sort of sum it up:

Mark: So anyway we are perfect for The Amazing Race. We are super smart, super competitive, and let's be honest, not too bad looking either.

Jess: Listen, I didn't go to Yale just to get married and pop out babies. I need some adventure and some excitement.  And I need to know that Mark can keep up with me.

The obvious preggo joke to be made can be found here. As for the beau, Mark is a Yale admissions officer so you can be sure he has his values in order. (Hint: The members of 2013 from the Deep South better be super smart, super competitive, and damn good looking.)

Handily, the video seems to have some loose ties to Mixed Company of Yale, who have been busy busy posting spoof videos. So we're left curious as to whether or not Mark and Jess are really TAR wannabes or just, well, wannabes. After all, the show has a history of hosting Ivy League questionables, like Harvard Law grads Heather and Eve who got booted in Season 3 for taking a cab after being instructed to walk.

Real or not, that Mark and Jess sure have an awesome life. And we wanna be a part of it so we've filled out some application questions. Read after the jump.
