Career highlights

  1. Career 1

    A longtime viewer

    Nate recalled watching The Amazing Race with his parents before returning to the series as an adult in Texas. A viewing session with Zach eventually led to the brothers applying together.[4]

  2. Career 2

    Training for the race

    Nate said running formed a large part of their preparation. Under the pressure of the start, that habit influenced their decision to run through Vancouver rather than take a taxi.[4]

  3. Career 3

    An unavailable shortcut

    Once the brothers fell behind, they considered using their Express Pass. Other teams had already used passes at the Roadblock and Detour, preventing Nate and Zach from skipping either task.[5]

  4. Career 4

    A further travel delay

    Nate told TV Insider that their water taxi left them farther away from the Detour than other teams. The unexpected drop-off meant another run before they could reach the challenge.[5]

  5. Career 5

    A close final arrival

    Nate estimated that only two or three minutes separated the brothers from Daisha Wilks and Dalton Hamby at the finish. He said the teams’ final taxis were close enough that a traffic signal could matter.[5]
