Jonatas Guedes and Rafael are a team of Friends on The Amazing Race: A Corrida Milionária.

The duo brought their large personalities and strength to the race. They were strong contenders throughout placing in the top 2 in 5 of the first 6 legs. While they would place last on Leg 3, they would prove their strength by bouncing back to first. Towards the second half, they began to gas out, falling behind and frequently being at risk for elimination. They would miraculous make final 3 when Jorge & Silvia's boat broke down allowing them to pass them up. While Jorge & Silvia would be non-eliminated, the penalty they received for placing 3rd the next leg allowed the duo to make the finale. While their biggest competition, Perri & Maristela, quit, Patrícia & Sane were able to stay ahead of the duo in what was one of the most difficult finales the franchise has ever seen. Despite remaining in striking distance, the never were able to catch up and had to settle for a second place finish.
