After a reasonable placement in the first leg, they revealed themselves to have a terrible team dynamic with Shamir being very accident prone and freaking out whenever he got hurt and Sara being very catty and controlling. Their race dissolved in Leg 4 in Zanzibar when they struggled on the "Royal Doors" [[Detour]], searching for the doors with bad directions for over an hour. They switched, but this still cost them the ferry with the other teams. Despite getting through their other Detour just fine, by the time they reached the [[Roadblock]], everyone had left. Shamir struggled with the difficult metal working Roadblock and [[Phil Keoghan|Phil]] came to the location to eliminate them in 8th place.

Revision as of 07:05, 4 May 2019

Shamir Arenzo and Sara Fowler are a team on The Amazing Race 29.

After a reasonable placement in the first leg, they revealed themselves to have a terrible team dynamic with Shamir being very accident prone and freaking out whenever he got hurt and Sara being very catty and controlling. Their race dissolved in Leg 4 in Zanzibar when they struggled on the "Royal Doors" Detour, searching for the doors with bad directions for over an hour. They switched, but this still cost them the ferry with the other teams. Despite getting through their other Detour just fine, by the time they reached the Roadblock, everyone had left. Shamir struggled with the difficult metal working Roadblock and Phil came to the location to eliminate them in 8th place.
