Frances "Fran" Lazarus and Bernard "Barry" Lazarus are a Married 40 Years team on The Amazing Race 9.
Although older than most of the teams on the race and having a tendency to walk past Clue Boxes in plain sight, Fran & Barry managed to keep up with their competitors with their physical fitness for their age and their ability to navigate. This allowed them to make it to the final five, becoming the oldest team to ever win a leg in Oman. However, their luck ran out the next leg when a taxi they had ordered did not show up and, with the pack closely bunched together, dropped them to last and causing their elimination in 5th place.
