Jerry & Frank

Jerry Lee Eaves and Frank Emmanuel Eaves are a Father/Son team on The Amazing Race 32.

After finishing near the top of the pack in the first leg, Jerry & Frank fell behind during the beginning of a tightly-contested second leg and barely escaped elimination. The father-son duo immediately found themselves in trouble at the start of the third leg when they could not find their first clue in Brazil. Jerry & Frank then made the fatal mistake of not reading their clue properly, leaving the items they had purchased, only to later realize that they had to go back and retrieve them, wasting time and dropping them firmly in last place. Any hope the father-son duo had of catching up was dashed when Kaylynn & Haley used the U-Turn on them to save their allies, Leo & Alana, ensuring the Jerry & Frank's elimination in 9th place.
