Revision as of 23:03, 4 August 2019
Art Velez and John James "JJ" Carrell are a team of Border Patrol Agents on The Amazing Race 20 and a team of Best Friends on The Amazing Race 31.
In Season 20, they were very intense racers, which translated them to being unbearable to most of the other teams, even somehow turning Bopper & Mark, a team they gave $5,000 of their own leg prize money to, against them. They managed to win three of four legs not won by Rachel & Dave and looked like the only team with a chance of unseating them in the finale. A mistake early on while trying to find "Mauka and Makai" dropped them to last. However, they would manage to recover and take the lead heading into the final Roadblock thanks to the mistakes made by the other two teams, but Art would struggle with the sledding Roadblock, getting passed by both Rachels, and they would end up 2nd.
Returning for Season 31, they came in a lot less aggressive than in that season. While this meant they were much less rude, they also didn't have the same drive that led them to be so successful in their first season. After landing in Japan they had more trouble than anyone else in finding a clue vendor. Despite that, that they still had a chance to catch up after Rupert & Laura got lost looking for the Roadblock until Art's legs cramping up led them to take a 4-hour penalty giving Rupert & Laura enough time to catch up and resulting in them being the first team eliminated this season.
