Jason Case and Amy Diaz are a Dating team and the Official Winners of The Amazing Race 23.
Jason & Amy became models of consistency in the race, regularly finishing near the top of the pack, though never quite pulling out a win until the tenth leg. They formed a race-long alliance with Nicole & Travis early on, with the two teams physically helping each other out on multiple occasions, allowing both teams to eventually make it to the final three. In the final leg, Amy was the first to complete the final Roadblock, giving them enough of a lead to win the race.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)? I love Jay and I believe he's the one I am meant to spend the rest of my life with. Unfortunately, it seems like our "great times" mostly occur when we are on vacation and away from our everyday lives. I hope TAR will open his eyes and he will realize that we, as a couple, can endure and make it through anything.
