Alyssa & Josiah

Alyssa Borden and Josiah Borden are a team of Married Nurses on The Amazing Race 37.

The enthusiastic couple proved to be one of the more consistent top-performing teams of the season, often finishing within the top half, three, and even winning two legs, though they occasionally held themselves back for overlooking details and being indecisive on the spot. In the eleventh leg, while they kept up with the top two teams for most of the episode, they fell behind after struggling to find the parking spot at the railway station, allowing the last-place Jonathan & Ana to catch up. They then made several mistakes when assembling the azulejo tile puzzle that would lead them to the Pit Stop, making them the eleventh team eliminated from the race in 4th place.
