A lot of people have asked whether Abigail Vick is really the oldest out of all the American celebrities that are now part of the cast of the hit television show “The Amazing Race.” The answer is that she is not really any older than any of the other participants. The show, like most of the reality competition shows, only lists the age of the contestants, not the actual birth dates or where they were born. Abigail is merely one of the many young people who joined the show to try their luck at winning the million dollars and becoming a world-famous star.
In her case, the nationalities of her parents are immigrating to Australia, which is younger than anywhere else in the world, by the time she was ten years old. This is actually an advantage for Abigail as her Australian citizenship has already been verified, whereas the others on the show are not. It is possible for Abigail to be classified as an Australian citizen by birth because her parents both came over on the same boat as John Howard, the current prime minister. Her naturalization as an Australian also cleared the way for her marriage in Australia when she turned sixteen.
The question whether Abigail is older than the average person is complicated by the fact that no precise formula is available to determine this. Some people say that she looks about six years younger than her chronological age, but this can be partly true because she was never really very active during her youth. Her fans and family members have said that she is a very healthy person and even exercises on a fairly regular basis. Abigail’s husband, Michael Vick, is also of nationalities, though not from Australia.
