* GenreSavvy: Did the Butter Detour on leg 8 because of Animals being hard to control.

The winners of ''Characters/SurvivorAfrica'' and ''Characters/SurvivorAmazon'' respectively, and the less well known couple from ''Characters/SurvivorAllStars'', they had been suggested by ''{{Series/Survivor}}'' fans for years as another potential immigrant for the Race. While they did decently well in the first leg, they fell behind early in the second leg, and ended up leaving their clue behind at the Detour, forcing them to go back and get it. Though they initially got to the Pit Stop ninth, they had missed the sign telling them to turn all their money in at the orphanage. As Kaylani & Lisa had turned in theirs, this dropped them to 10th place. Though they never finished in last, they became the first and only victims of the double elimination.

* GirlishPigtails: Amani often wore her hair in theirs.

* LovableJock

* HappilyMarried

* GirlishPigtails: Amain often wore her hair in theirs.

* DumbBlonde: One example that they didn't exhange their money before heading to Thailand.

* SharpDressedMan: In their introduction, they was wearing their flight attendant uniforms.

* DisappearedDad: They mention that Their father died suddenly of an heart attack.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In her introduction, Cindy is called herself a ControlFreak.

Twins. Thailand was not very kind to them, as a pair of bad legs gave them a Speed Bump and depleted them of all their money, forcing them to beg for rides from cab drivers to complete the leg, and they were eliminated in 8th.

* MsFanservice

* TheLoad: Luckily Averted in the third leg. They were in last place heading into the Buddhist Statues Roadblock, and while putting on their sarongs, they ran into Andy & Tommy, who had just completed the task. Tommy, without hesitation, gave them the answer to the very confusing task (one which he had already all but been handed by Laurence), with them explicitly stating afterwards that they were doing it because they had the ability to choose who they wanted to keep in the Race by giving them the answer. Now, as this was coming off the heels of [[Characters/TheAmazingRace18 Flight Time & Big Easy nearly winning Unfinished Business]] thanks to such unpopular answer sharing, this might not have gone over well. Fortunately, by the time they got to the top of the temple and got their Roadblock clue, they had already forgotten the answer.

Former Vegas showgirls, they made a splash in the first leg when Kaylani dropped her passport while asking for directions to the airport, and fans, talking over Twitter, got it back to her at LAX. Of course, many fans naturally assumed that the producers had arranged for this stranger to show up at the airport, despite Kaylani noticing her passport missing and them returning to the gas station where she lost it before heading to the airport, and the guy who had returned it having previously given directions to Andy & Tommy at that gas station, and it caused quite the controversy. I would not end up mattering, they did not last long anyway. Lisa struggled with the Buddhist Statues Roadblock in the third leg, and when she did complete it, they had do go back and pay their cab driver before checking into the Pit Stop. This dropped them to last and resulted in their elimination.

* FailedASpotCheck: They almost became the second team eliminated without ever leaving the U.S. due to a Keylani dropping her passport. The cameraman helpfully pointed it out lying on the ground to the audience before they drove away from the gas station.

* ShockingElimination: Not only because of how well they had been doing, but because of how fast their elimination occurred. They dropped from a comfortable first to last on the final clue of the leg.

* ShockingElimination: Not because they were racing that well (even though they did have a NoDamageRun still going when they were eliminated), but because they left the Detour long before Jeremy & Sandy, and all their navigation issues looked like the normal ManipulativeEditing the editors always use to make it look like the last two teams are close, even when they're hours apart. [[MetaTwist The shocking part was that this time the editors were telling the truth, Laurence & Zac really were that lost.]]

* [[TheSmartGuy TheSmartGirl]]: Cindy.

* [[BadassGrandpa Badass]] [[NeverMessWithGranny Grandparents]]: Despite their ages, the had no issues with most of the physical tasks. Being a farmer, Bill blew through a Roadblock involving transporting 200 lb. bales of tobacco across a warehouse via handcart, easily beating former NFL tight end Marcus in the process. Cathi was no slouch either, carrying an entire bed frame on her back to the Pit Stop on that same leg, passing several other teams. Two legs later, they were U-Turned and shrugged off the additional task without dropping a spot, with their 2nd place finish being the best ever for a U-Turned team[[note]]No other team in the U.S. version has finished above 4th after being U-Turned[[/note]]. Not to mention, they both looked pretty damn good in those speedos during the body building task(considering their ages, and all).

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In the finale, instead of using their cab driver's phone to call for help to find "The Dump" like Ernie & Cindy did, they instead stopped and asked a random guy on the street, which got them sent in the wrong direction and lost them the race.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Fans using Twitter and other social media to get their passport back to them would have been impossible in early seasons.

* OutOfFocus: They got a few confessionals about their relationship, but they were rarely seen doing any of the tasks.

* TheSmartGuy: Cindy.

* BornLucky: The barely avoided elimination no less than five times, including in the penultimate leg, when their cab driver being in contact with Jeremy & Sandy's got them to the Pit Stop without ever figuring out the location for themselves, snd both of their leg wins came after late leg bunching points that vaulted them ahead of other teams.

** When dressing up as the {{Franchise/Tintin}} characters Thomson & Thompson, Tommy thought they were CharlieChaplin. Now, there was nothing wrong with this initially, as they just did not run into anyone who recognized them. However, after doing the research and finding out who Tintin was, he continued to think they were dressed as Charlie Chaplin, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the fact that Charlie Chaplin and Tintin were not connected.

After two straight successful seasons, the Race initially seemed to be reverting to old bad habits for their nineteenth season. With four StuntCasting teams, the comparisons to [[Characters/TheAmazingRace15 Seasons 15]] and [[Characters/TheAmazingRace16 16]] were not far behind. However, within the first few episodes it became abundantly clear that these teams were not going to have it east. The producers had obviously been paying attention, and put together a course that exploited the {{Metagame}} and the tendency for teams to overlook small details, coming up with one of the most mentally challenging courses the show had ever seen. However, this added challenge also led to teams making lots of mistakes. Several times a team survived a big mistake that normally would have eliminated them, simply because someone else made a bigger mistake. The teams were entertaining for the most part, with little inter-team drama. While the season had its moments, it was never great, nor was it ever exactly bad either. It's probably the closest the show has to an "average" season, which is more than likely the reason why it is the only post-Unfinished Business season to not have a representative in the second All-Stars season.
