Peter & Sarah
Peter Harsch & Sarah Reinertsen (an above-the-knee amputee as well as a world-class paralympic champion) were known as the Recently Dating couple. In the beginning they ran a strong race until Leg 6 in which they got lost and finished in seventh place. Peter tried to be diplomatic in saying they weren't a good romantic match, while Sarah--fed up with Peter's behavior on the Race--said he wasn't very kind or nurturing and thus wasn't the man for her.
Bilal & Sa'eed
Bilal Abdul-Mani & Sa'eed Rudolph, Best Friends from Cleveland, Ohio, were the first Muslim team to compete in the Race.[1] They were the first to leave the show, in a twist that involved team being elimininated at a midpoint in the first leg.[2]
During their brief time on the show, they continued to offer their five daily prayers regardless of the fact they were competing in a race, which included offering prayers in the middle of Los Angeles Airport prior to boarding a flight to China.[3] Both in their late thirties at the time they competed on the Race, Bilal works as a medical-supply technician and Sa'eed as a power linesman.[4]

Lyn & Karlyn
Lyn Turk & Karlyn Harris were known as the Single Moms/Friends from Alabama. Turk is from Helena and Harris is from Birmingham.[5] They came in third place which made them the highest placing all-female team across all previous seasons of the Race.[6] Though it seemed unlikely that the two would make it past the first few legs, other team's mistakes and the help of their alliance with Erwin & Godwin and David & Mary propelled them to the Final Three.
The two friends met when they were in ninth grade at Ramsay Alternative High School.[5] Harris is a program analyst at Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Turk teaches fourth grade at Garywood Christian School in Hueytown, Alabama.[5]
When single mother Lyn came back from the race, she found out that her house was tragically broken in to. It was announced on the news later on.
