Flight attendants, they started out looking like the usual dumb blonde team, as they barely escaped elimination on the first two legs. However, they managed to stick around for half the season, even winning a leg. Unfortunately, that glory was not to last, as thanks to being saved by a non-elimination leg, they went into India with a Speed Bump. When combined with their cab driver putting them in last place from the very beginning of the leg, the extra time spent on the Speed Bump allowed Mark & Michael to narrowly beat them to the Pit Stop despite taking the slower Detour option, and they ended up 7th.

Deaf contestant and his American Sign Language-translating mother. Luke was the first deaf contestant in the series[[note]]though [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAsia2 Asia Season 2]] constesant Adrian was the first in the franchise[[/note]], and as such, Phil signed their Race positions at the end of each leg. They started off as a strong team and early fan favorites, and though some fans soured on Luke's bursts of impatience, they remained favorites until Luke got into a shoving match with Jen in China, turning them into major {{Base Breaker}}s overnight. Margie's surprising physical strength combined with Luke's ruthless strategy got them into the Final 3 without ever being in danger of elimination, but Luke choked away a massive lead on the [[FinalExamFinale Final Roadblock]], leaving the task last despite having 8 of his 11 surfboards placed before the other teams showed up, ultimately giving them 3rd place. Their strong showing and Luke's InspirationallyDisadvantaged status gave them a place in Unfinished Business.

Ex-NFL cheerleaders, and the only non-family team in the top 6. They started off as middle-of-the-road racers, but were able to improve their game to the point where they gained competitive footing with the top teams. They became infamous for Jaime's HairTriggerTemper, which she frequently took out on locals, to the point that it made up her Final 3 montage. Ultimately, they finished 2nd due to the combination of a bad taxi and Jaime stumbling on one of the surfboards in the [[FinalExamFinale Final Roadblock]]. Jaime's outrageous, and often amusing, outbursts made them the only villain team to be invited back for Unfinished Business (with even Phil calling them the villains in pre-season interviews), and she was invited to become a {{Playboy}} Playmate.

Bisexual filmmaker (whose credits include ''Film/SchoolOfRock'', in which he played Ned Schneebly and ''Series/{{Enlightened}}''.) and his gay pastor father. They became fan favorites in the second leg after Mel said a humble prayer expressing gratitude for the experience just as he thought they were done for. Despite their physical limitations, they managed to do very well, including winning a leg, thanks to Mel's ability to stay calm and think even when things looked at their most dire. They were eliminated in Phuket after their cab driver drove them to the wrong location looking for a gorilla statue (he took them to Patong Beach, the statue was at the zoo), landing them in 6th. Their positive attitudes and fan favorite status got them invited back for Unfinished Business.
