Steve & Anna Leigh

Steve Cargile and Anna Leigh Wilson are a Father/Daughter team on The Amazing Race 35.

The father-daughter duo saw success early on, which included two first place finishes in the first five legs. However, after being U-Turned in leg 6, due to several teams pegging them as threats, they fell to the back half of the pack due to their bickering and struggles with tasks and directions. However, they survived toll the final 4, with Anna Leigh being the last female standing. In the penultimate leg, they fell to last place when they briefly got lost on their way to Dublin Bay and Steve struggled swimming in the Dublin Bay sea. Despite catching up and passing best friends Joel & Garrett, they fell back to last after getting lost on their way to Croke Park and were never able to catch up afterwards, leading to their elimination in 4th place.
