Redmond initially left a bad impression on the fanbase with being competitive to the point of outright hostility.

Revision as of 08:01, 4 May 2019

Matthew "Matt" Ladley and Redmond Ramos are a team on The Amazing Race 29.

Redmond initially left a bad impression on the fanbase with being competitive to the point of outright hostility. Though this was quickly dropped and fans warmed up to him when he output his competitive nature in a more healthy way and took his missing leg in good humor. Throughout the Race, Matt and Redmond had dominated the competition and were one of the favorites to win the whole thing after finishing in the top 2 from Legs 5-10. However, in Leg 11, they took a risk by traveling to downtown Seoul via subway instead of taxi and missed a transfer line. They then fell even more behind by having a bad taxi. Eventually, due to Tara's struggles on the Street Fighter V Roadblock, Matt and Redmond caught up, but Tara was eventually able to finish the Roadblock as she and Joey made it to the pit stop thus causing the Boys to fall short of the final 3.
