I think you missed season one. The third-place team was stuck in Alaska, almost 24 hours behind the other two teams. The 2nd-place was an African-American couple (I think they were separated?) who were from that area of New York (I want to say Brooklyn), and they had to finish at a sculpture in front of Dodgers Stadium. They were beat by about 5-10 minutes (it appeared to be one elevated or subway train later) by a pair of white 20-30-something lawyers/best friends. That was a *really* good race.

I can't remember which season had Kevin and Drew (I think that was the names of the fraternity boys), but now I'm thinking it was season one. Fourth place in season one was "Momily"-- a mother whose name I can't remember and her 18-or-so-year-old daughter Emily. They actually came in before "Team Guido", the partner guys who ended up a day behind in Alaska, but because they didn't complete a task and just gave up and went to the final destination (in Southeast Asia), they got a 24-hour time penalty, allowing Team Guido to get into 3rd place.

I'm actually wishing that they'd do a season one DVD.

Season 3 had a fluffy-headed guy and a dark-haired whiny girl named Flo. I do *not* feel that they should have won at ALL, since she was such a royal pain in the butt. :P

I wish that eventually they'd put ALL the seasons on DVD...could you imagine the hours of entertainment from dumb racers???

I agree about Flo and Zach....they were super annoying, but as long as Ian and Teri didn't win, I was happy

For anyone interested, Chip & Reichen did an interview with The Advocate. They talked about the race, what they're doing now, and some other stuff. Here's the link:
