Blake Mycoskie and Paige Mycoskie are a Brother/Sister team The Amazing Race 2.

Their constantly positive attitudes hid their cutthroat natures, as they were a team that would do anything to win. They were badmouthed by the other teams, who saw Blake's somewhat bold and inventive, if not always successful, moves as "cheating." They would make the Final 3, where they were taken out of contention when they fell behind while running through the streets of San Francisco, reaching the Finish Line 3rd.

We are not only brother and sister, but also best friends

Bio[]

Brother and sister Blake and Paige have quite a bit of experience traveling together, mainly on family vacations. Both agree that those times were fun, because they were "always entertaining each other and making each other laugh." They disagree, though, on the downside of those vacations. Whereas Blake claims that "the worst was Paige always getting special treatment, since she is 'Daddy's Girl'"; Paige insists that "the worst was Blake doing everything possible to keep me away from any guys I met."

The pair decided to team up for THE AMAZING RACE because they both love adventure but have not traveled much outside the U.S. They were separated all through college and saw this as a great way to reunite and do what they both love to do: compete. Blake thinks that participating in THE AMAZING RACE will enhance their relationship and provide them with stories to tell their friends for years to come. His only concern is that they both like to be in control of the situation. Paige worries that they'll drive each other crazy, but also has faith that their love and friendship will get them through the toughest times.

Q & A[]

What strengths and weaknesses do you bring to the Team?

  • Paige: My weakness is that I tend to get really emotionally involved in what I'm doing. My strength is that I embrace adventure and physical challenges with passion. I am also pretty good under pressure.

  • Blake: Paige is an incredibly supportive person. She is always there to encourage me, which is very important in a Race like this. Also, she is the toughest girl I know.
