Since the premiere of its latest season last February, The Amazing Race has gone to four continents, nine countries and eliminated eight teams. The show has reached its final leg, and the race is down to its last three teams.
Brent and Caite
Brent (28) and Caite (20) are models from South Carolina that are dating. They have not been well-received in the race and are known particularly for their feud with Carol and Brandy. Caite took offense at their earlier statement about “Caite’s tiara” and has been trying to always be one step ahead of them. Caite and Brent got their payback when they U-turned Carol and Brandy in the Singapore leg, forcing them to do both Detours and eventually eliminated them from the race. Caite is the last woman standing, and their team came in first in the last episode, securing their spot in the Final Three Teams competing for one million dollars.
Jet and Cord
Jet (30) and Cord (29) are brothers and cowboys from Oklahoma. They were considered the underdogs at first until they finished in first place several times. Other teams started to see them as a threat and tried to step up their games to eliminate the cowboys, but the only team who has succeeded in putting them in last place were themselves. In the Seychelles leg, they found the Pit Stop but failed to decipher the map in the bottle they had to retrieve in their Roadblock. They had to go back to their boat, assemble the map and then run to the Pit Stop. Carol and Brandy, who were supposed to be in last place, overtook them and Jet and Cord came in at last place. But good news for them because it was a non-elimination race and they were still in a race but had to complete a Speed Bump, as well as the regular Detour and Roadblocks in the next challenge.
In the next challenge, Jet and Cord became the first team to start the race from last place, complete the Speed Bump, the Detour and the Roadblock and finish in first place.
Dan and Jordan
Dan (24) and Jordan (22) are brothers from Rhode Island. They have been very low-key during the race and have succeeded in finishing in a good standing, never coming in last but never coming in first, until they got to Singapore and they were the first ones to get to the Singapore Flyer, where they had to walk to the next capsule 541 feet above the ground. At that moment, Jordan realized he was afraid of heights. Dan, however, was able to convince and motivate Jordan to finish the walk and finish the Fast Forward challenge and come in at first place.
