Sheena Vera Cruz and Gazelle "Gee" Canlas are a team of Reunited Friends on The Amazing Race Philippines 1.
Displaying gritty determination and can-do attitudes, Sheena & Gee tended to run the Race by themselves, which allowed them to get to the final four, but also left them on the outs socially with the other teams. The reunited friends were alerted to this reality during the ninth leg, when they were targeted with an Anonymously Yield by LJ & CJ. After managing to survive the Yield, Sheena & Gee attempted to form an alliance with Fausto & Dayal against LJ & CJ and Saida & Jervi at the Pit Stop by slipping a note into their room, unaware that the brothers-in-law were loosely working with the other teams as well. This came to a head in a heated confrontation during the eleventh leg, where the reunited friends were firmly made aware of their social standing before narrowly losing a race to the Pit Stop to Fausto & Dayal by a minute, only to be spared by a Non-Elimination Leg and subsequently be Marked for Elimination. Despite Sheena & Gee's best efforts in a closely-contested penultimate leg between all four teams, Sheena made the critical mistake of misreading a question during the final task of the leg, costing them valuable time. Though they arrived at the Pit Stop ahead of LJ & CJ, their 30-minute penalty allowed their rivals to survive at their expense, eliminating them in 4th place.
