Jackye Clayton and Lauren McKinney are a team of Sisters on The Amazing Race 37.

The sisters were excited for the opportunity, but Jackye's difficulty descending the stairs at Tian Tan Buddha due to a past traumatic incident, resulted in them missing a ferry the rest of the teams got on. They fell too far behind the pack and never saw another team again, becoming one of the first two teams eliminated in 14th place.
