Mary Lenig and Maria "Peach" Krebs are a team of Sisters on The Amazing Race 2.

Sisters Mary & Peach came into the Race as complete opposites, with Mary being a gritty go-getter and Peach having doubts about her ability to run the Race due to her sheltered lifestyle, which sometimes led to them clashing. Nevertheless, they proved to be a strong team in their own right due to Mary's decisive leadership and Peach's openness to new experiences. In the seventh leg, they fell behind early when their cab driver took them to the wrong location, which prompted them to go for the Fast Forward, only to find out that they had been beaten to it by Gary & Dave. This caused their deficit to the other teams to grow even larger and, with the fatigue of the Race finally taking its toll on Peach, caused them to stop racing and accept their elimination in 6th place.

“We're the perfect Team because we're so opposite that we balance each other out.”

Bio Q & A Sisters Mary and Peach have done quite a bit of traveling together in the past, usually when Mary forces Peach to go so that she can grow as a person. As a Team, they're a study in opposites. Whereas Peach prefers 5 Star hotels and Gucci, Mary likes backpacking and dirt. Mary insists that "Peach likes to shower, but I don't." Peach is a bit concerned about the rigors ahead in THE AMAZING RACE. Before applying, she had never ever put on a backpack; the first time she did, she fell over backwards. In public, this Team tends to attract attention: "Whenever we are together, people stare at us and ask us what are we doing, because we are causing so much chaos. When we tell them we are sisters, they are in shock!" What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team? Mary: I get things done, but I tend to be impatient. Peach: My strength is my sensitivity, and my weakness would definitely be my sensitivity. What strengths and weaknesses does your teammate bring to the Team? Mary: She's an emotional basket case, but she has a big heart. Peach: The Terminator! Need I say more? Not an ounce of compassion of her teammate! What is your favorite film?
