+ | Huge fans of the Race, all their years watching the Race did not translate to actual skills, as they struggled right off the bat. Though they would be saved from elimination on both the second and third legs by drivers getting other teams lost, their luck would run out in Bangladesh, and Gary struggling with the bus repair [[Roadblock]] would put them behind and drop them out in 8th. |

Though they would be saved from elimination on both the second and third legs by drivers getting other teams lost, their luck would run out in Bangladesh, and Gary struggling with the bus repair Roadblock would put them behind and drop them out in 8th.
