Brian Thomas Smith and Greg Smith are a team of Brothers on The Amazing Race 7.

Barring a close call in the second leg, the brothers mostly found themselves racing at the front of the pack due their physicality while also playing a strong social game that included a short-lived alliance with Megan and Heidi. After their car accident in the sixth leg, Brian & Greg seemed destined for elimination, but miraculously managed to catch up and defeat Ray & Deana in a footrace to the Pit Stop to survive. However, the next leg had no equalizer; the deficit to the rest of the cast and struggling to find the first route marker were enough to ensure they were unable to recover in the following leg, placing 6th.
