Emily & Molly

Emily Bushnell and Molly Renee Sinert are a team of Long-Lost Twins on The Amazing Race 34.

Only being reunited in the year prior to the Race after being adopted by different families at a young age, Emily & Molly's prime motivation was to make up for lost time and get to know each other more during the Race. They achieved their goal of running the full Race and making it to the final three, but not without Emily injuring her left knee during the Megaleg in Italy, which hampered their physical performance for the rest of the Race. In the final leg, the twins suffered from navigation issues that left them arriving at the Final Memory Challenge in last. Though they were able to pass Luis & Michelle, they were unable to make up ground on Derek & Claire, leaving them to finish in 2nd place.

Emily Bushnell and Molly Sinert, long-lost twins from Ardmore, Pennsylvania and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, respectively.

Emily, 36, is a law firm admin. Molly, also 36, is a healthcare admin. The twins were separated at a young age when they were adopted to separate places from South Korea decades ago. They just met a year ago after a DNA test brought them back together, and they're looking to make up for lost time. And those years apart has had them lead completely different lifestyles, with Molly growing up as a dancer and Emily currently a single mom.
