Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce are a team of Strangers on The Amazing Race 29 and a team of Friends on The Amazing Race 31.
In Season 29, they quickly became the big personalities of the season for their fun and happy natures leading to being the fan-favorites. This attitude didn't hinder their abilities as despite a couple of hitches, they were consistently one of the stronger teams. After getting on the first bus in Leg 10, they looked to be in a comfortable position. However, Floyd struggled tremendously on the bicycle Roadblock, as he dropped many shrimp traps along the way and had to retrieve them. To make things worse, the entire leg was run on bicycles so he was too tired to continue and collapsed due to heatstroke. Eventually, the medical team had to intervene, but by then their race was all but over and Phil had to come and eliminate them in 5th.
While they got off to a good start in season 31 by finishing in the top 5 in leg 1, leg 2 was a struggle as they were U-Turned by Rachel & Elissa, causing them to fall to the bottom two. However, after escaping elimination they went on a good run, finishing in the upper half or middle of the pack in six of the next 7 legs. In leg 10, they fell to the back of the pack after struggling on the bike and getting lost on their way to the Detour. Despite completing the detour they were U-Turned by Nicole & Victor, forcing them to complete the second Detour. Things didn't get any better, as they were forced to re-do the second Detour after one of their eggs cracked. After finally finishing the Detour, they arrived at the last part of the leg where they had a chance to survive. Unfortunately, they were unable to catch up to Victor and Nicole, resulting in their elimination in 5th place once again.
