Amber L. Craven[1] and Vincent P. "Vinny" Cagungun[2] are a team of Dating Nurses on The Amazing Race 36.
The Dating couple came into the race hoping to gauge their ability to handle high-stress situations together. They got off to a rough start, barely surviving the first leg, but their athleticism and efficiency in tasks launched them to the front of the pack for most of the race afterwards. Despite this, interpersonal conflicts and small mistakes tended to set them back, preventing them from winning any legs though they still went on the reach the final 4. Starting in the second departure group and a making a series of small mistakes at the detour proved to be costly as they found themselves narrowly trailing perennial frontrunners Ricky & Cesar and being unable to close the gap before being eliminated in 4th place.
