The Amazing Race Wiki

Scott Thompson and Lori Thompson are a team of Married Parents of Eight on The Amazing Race 37.

With excellent teamwork and attention-to-detail, Scott and Lori started the race as front-runners, even winning a leg. Although they attempted to keep their racing prowess quiet, their high placements led several other teams to view them as a threat, and along with Jonathan & Ana, they received the most Double U-Turn votes at the beginning of the fifth leg. After facing trouble at the sea coral Detour, they were not able to catch back up and became the sixth team eliminated in 9th place.
