Christopher "Chris" Luca and Alexander "Alex" Boylan are a team of Lifelong Friends and the Official Winners of the The Amazing Race 2.
Best remembered for a Alex's open flirting with Tara, The Friends from Massachusetts came into the race with relatively little travel experience and tended to struggle with directions and language barriers. Their troubles led to several close calls including being spared by two non-eliminations. Despite this, their physicality, camaraderie, and advice from Tara kept them in contention and allowed them to eventually reach the final leg. Though they trailed Tara and Wil for most of the final leg, they were ultimately able to overtake them in a footrace to the Finish Line, setting a record for closest finish for a winning team.

- “From our first encounter with girls to the State Championship in high school sports, we did it all together. We would trust each other with our lives. Through everything, we've always been like brothers.”
Chris and Alex met on the school bus heading for their first day of kindergarten, and have been friends ever since. They've traveled extensively together, logging "about a million miles on road trips." According to Alex, "The best thing about traveling with Chris is that he is just as crazy as I am." Chris counters with his own assessment: "The best aspects of traveling with Alex are his extensive travel experience and his uncanny ability to get us into some very interesting situations. The only weakness he has is that he's a loose cannon, but you get used to that." Going into the Race, Chris and Alex speculate about how the experience might affect their relationship. "Since day one we were like brothers," says Chris, "and even an amazing experience like THE AMAZING RACE wouldn't change us being like family." Alex agrees: "Chris and I have stayed friends through thick and thin. Nothing, not even this Race, would affect things between us. No matter if Chris makes a good or bad decision on the road, I will back him 100%."[1]
