Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge are a team of Best Friends/Gamers and the Official Winners on The Amazing Race 37.
The Dungeons and Dragons duo proved to be one of the most dominant teams of the season, winning four legs and often finishing in second or fourth in the others. Though they had some difficulty with navigation in the second half and were at risk of elimination in leg 7, their positivity and problem-solving skills pushed them to the finale. In the final leg, despite a few navigation issues, they quickly adapted to most of the challenges in Miami, with Jack helping them gain a wider lead thanks to completing the Roadblock first. They never let the other two teams pass them from that point onward and go on to win the 37th season of the Amazing Race.
