* GrumpyBear: Gary.

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* BreakTheHaughty[=/=]BreakTheCutie: Their Race story in a nutshell. Ryan as the haughty would switch from egotistic gloating to depressed defeatism every time something happened to put them in the back of the pack. Abbie as the cutie took longer, but getting U-Turned finally did it, leading to a shot of her [[CryCute crying on a lady's shoulder (who helped them finish the organ grinding Detour) in the rain]].

* SmartGuy: Both of them. After struggling through the synchronized swimming Detour in Moscow, they breezed through the next three tasks, including Brent acing the time zone Roadblock on the first try (when all the other teams needed at least eleven tries, or used the Express Pass). Then there was Josh breaking down the Hello/Goodbye FinalExamFinale Roadblock to finish ahead of the other two teams and win the race.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Josh, during the Hasma Roadblock:
--> I never pictured you eating fallopian tubes.

* BadassGay: Jaymes.

* DarkHorseVictory: They are easily the weakest team to ever win the race (even acknowledging this in post-race interviews saying they'd rather be the worst winners than the best losers), having finished in the bottom-2 for seven straight legs, yet survived all seven legs. In comparison, only one other team had survived six bottom-2 finishes ([[Characters/TheAmazingRace5 Kami & Karli]]), and they held that record for ''eight years'' until Josh & Brent broke it[[note]]Though Terri & Henry also managed to survive six close shaves in [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAsia2 Asia Season 2]][[/note]]. They also have the worst finishing average [[note]]For the American version as Adam & Courtney beat them in Canada 6 [[/note]] and the second team to win after being 13 hours behind at one point ([[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAllStars2007 Eric & Danielle]]). In the final leg, Trey & Lexi twice said how they weren't worried about the Beekman Boys, as the Chippendales were their real competition.

* [[ReadTheFreakingManual Read the Freaking Clue]]: They had to do the Speed Bump in Istanbul twice because they didn't read to look for the marked ice cream stall, and just bought two cones from the first stall they saw.

* [[ThisIsACompetition This Is A Race]]: Josh talked about how there were the [[ThisIsACompetition "serious" teams]], and then there were the teams just trying to do their best. Then said that, more often than not, the teams who are great people end up winning, which was eventually revealed as {{Foreshadowing}}. Though they did have a change of heart towards this by the penultimate leg, where they started {{Trash Talk}}ing and playing cutthroat with the twins.

** In leg two, they were the only team to jump on the first flight out of Shanghai to Indonesia, which is because they didn't check arrival times, and therefore didn't know about the four hour layover in Hong Kong which put them in last place. Luckily, an overnight equalizer caught them up to the other teams. They also knowingly separated from the only other team whose position they knew which is also a bad idea. Most teams would rather stick with someone else and let it come down to the tasks.

Life Partners and Goat Farmers, they were the stars of the reality show ''The Fabulous Beekman Boys'', and are quite possibly the most unlikely team to ever win the race. They barely avoided elimination for seven straight legs, slipping by as other teams hit some horrible luck and made game breaking mistakes. In the end, Josh passed up Lexi on the [[JustForFun/{{Hello}} Hello]]/[[ThatsAllFolks Goodbye]] FinalExamFinale puzzle, becoming poster boys for the fact that anyone really can win the race.
