Joseph & Adam

Joseph Ammar Abdin and Adam Abdin are a team of Brothers on The Amazing Race: European Adventure.

The siblings forged an alliance with Jas & Jag and Natalie & Stephanie early in the race, getting them high placements early on. While they occasionally struggled with particular physical tasks and working around Adam's Type 1 diabetes, even getting last place on a Non-Elimination Leg, their tenacity and strong brotherly bond kept them in the competition all the way to the finale. During the final leg, their slower approach to the challenges and bad luck with taxis led them to never catching up with the two teams ahead of them, and they ultimately finished in third place.

Joseph got a dose of the unexpected before Big Brother 24 even began, thrown into the season as a last-minute alternate. It took a few weeks (and a 25th birthday) before he became active in the game, helping put together the crucial “Leftovers” alliance. The group of outsiders dominated the rest of the prejury, with the rest of the house being none the wiser. But Joseph’s game was undone during a brand-new twist that split the house in half. Sent in the backyard to live out in “Dyrefest,” he was turned on by his fellow Leftovers, taken out in ninth place. Joseph also briefly dated his fellow Season 24 castmate Taylor Hale following their time in the house.
