Two guys who've been best friends since kindygahten. Oh, and they're from Boston. |
|
They look like bouncers, one had been a pro soccer player in Brazil, and they have the distinction of being the only team ever to have an inter-team hook-up with someone from a couple team. |

Mostly being young white males. Their alliance with Tara & Wil baffled us at home, since they rarely got much out of it, and most of the goodwill and information flowed towards Tara. They finally — finally! — shut the door on it when Wil threw out the clue telling them not only where to go in Anchorage, but what destination to tell the pilot when they arrived. They correctly accused him of being the sort of person who would withhold the clue if their positions were reversed. (Not that the last leg of the race is the time to be honouring an alliance anyway.) The San Francisco finale was the closest finish between all three teams we'd ever seen — third-place Blake & Paige started the final run before Chris & Alex finished it — so what really did it for them was being able to run fast. |

Changing a bus tire for the bus company. Lunacy with telling other teams that they are either going for the Fast Forward or not going for the Fast Forward, and never being believed even though they're honest every time. "Can't tackle 'em." Using an airplane intercom to tell passengers that they're not quite getting off the plane until bags are unloaded just to screw up Blake & Paige's advantage. |

Not really. They won by never being unlucky enough to get eliminated, with a loser of a strategy, and by physical strength. We're not sorry to see them win (given the options we had), but we weren't really cheering them on either. |
