Blake Mycoskie and Paige Mycoskie are a Brother/Sister team The Amazing Race 2.
The youngest team of the season and prone to making small mistakes, Blake & Paige made up for their lack of travel experience with cutthroat natures that allowed them to make it to the final three. However, their self-interested gameplay also often drew the ire of several other teams, particularly Tara & Wil, whom the siblings feuded with for the entire Race. Although they were the first team out of the airport in the final leg, their lack of familiarity with San Francisco and the running portion of the leg gradually saw them drop to last in the most closely-contested final leg ever, reaching the Finish Line in 3rd place, just four minutes behind the top two teams.

- “We are not only brother and sister, but also best friends”
Brother and sister Blake and Paige have quite a bit of experience traveling together, mainly on family vacations. Both agree that those times were fun, because they were "always entertaining each other and making each other laugh." They disagree, though, on the downside of those vacations. Whereas Blake claims that "the worst was Paige always getting special treatment, since she is 'Daddy's Girl'"; Paige insists that "the worst was Blake doing everything possible to keep me away from any guys I met." The pair decided to team up for THE AMAZING RACE because they both love adventure but have not traveled much outside the U.S. They were separated all through college and saw this as a great way to reunite and do what they both love to do: compete. Blake thinks that participating in THE AMAZING RACE will enhance their relationship and provide them with stories to tell their friends for years to come. His only concern is that they both like to be in control of the situation. Paige worries that they'll drive each other crazy, but also has faith that their love and friendship will get them through the toughest times.
