!! [[Creator/JoeyGraceffa Joseph "Joey" Graceffa]] & Meghan Camarena (''Team YouTube'') ([[Characters/TheAmazingRace22 Season 22]], 5th Place) [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joeymeghan_419.jpg]]

The YouTube hosts returned for another shot at the Race. As expected of a team who only finished above 4th once in their original season, they struggled, never finishing higher than 9th place. Leaving the Pit Start last in the third leg, they got stuck on the later flight to Malaysia, a full three hours behind the lead teams. They compounded their troubles after the Roadblock, as they made the fatal mistake of not keeping their cab, and had to walk down a rural road to find a new one. This put them so far behind they were eliminated in 9th.

* GenreSavvy: When they saw Caroline & Jen show up at the Guangzhou Cultural Center without their toy car, they put the pieces together and figured out that Jet & Cord had handed over the second Express Pass.



* GenreSavvy:
** When Jen started begging Cord for the second Express Pass, instead of trying to extract some value out of it like [[Characters/TheAmazingRace23 Marie]], he waited until Jet was done with the Roadblock (so the girls didn't pass them and leave them in last), then they immediately handed it over in order to burn it and get it out of the Race.
** In Leg 8, they knew that they had a potential target on their back due to their Express Pass, they used it immediately to bypass the Detour, and went to the Detour choice they found harder just in case Brendon & Rachel had already used it on them.[[note]]This probably wound up being the wrong decision, as with as difficult and detailed the Roadblock ended up being, they probably could have done both Detours faster than Jet did the Roadblock.[[/note]]

They then started off All-Stars being portrayed as a far nicer team than in Season 20, completing their move towards being a {{Face}}. However, the {{Heel}} portion started to creep up during Leg 7 (see AlphaBitch), and got worse in the next leg with the team U-Turning Dave & Connor, who were well liked among the other teams, to win a leg, making them outcasts once again. Rachel's whining came back in leg 10, and they completed their move back to villain in the final leg, where tensions burst with the other two Final 3 (starting fights with Jen & Caroline at the airport, and with Dave & Connor by shoveling sand into their hole at the digging task), and then tried to steal Jen & Caroline's cab at the Las Vegas Neon Museum Boneyard.

It\'s the way it was presented on the show, with Caroline explicitly saying Rachel had pushed her and cut in line, this isn\'t a page for casting aspersions at the edit and Dave & Connor for making Rachel out into some horrible villain, that\'s the YMMV page, that is, unless there\'s some specific proof there was manipulative editing, but since the camera\'s couldn\'t record there, we have to write the trope example by how the \"he said, she said\" was presented, and relegate any legitimate doubts to a note

But do we see it? The camera never had time to film the fight (what we only know is that they fought). And the editing (and Dave & Connor) will want us to root against Brenchel.

** Big Easy's size and notable struggles with mental tasks in previous seasons caused them issues with several Roadblocks during the race.

Rachel pushed Jennifer in line, sounds like starting to me. 2) the Cowboys poor performance is important to note, as it shows they performed poorly previously, but were still seen as huge threats despite this, which is part of the fizzle out trope. 3) Big Easy did not do all the Roadblocks listed above, in fact, he only did the sewing of the ones listed. 4) real people don\'t get out of character moments for something like that


* TheCharmer: Given that they were able to rally up with the other contestants to go against Brenchel (who at that time were rather neutral with each other prior to the U-Turn fiasco), having a same season ally in Caroline & Jennifer helps as well.



* RejectedApology: They refused Brendon's apology for the U-Turn. And in a deleted scene where they are on a train trip to Switzerland, they and Brenchel tried to clear out the air, but it definitely doesn't work out either.

The ''Series/BigBrother'' couple were back for another honeymoon at the Race, now married. After an entire season's worth of whining in Season 20, Rachel started off All-Stars as a much nicer person, acting as a calming influence on both Brendon and other teams. However, this only lasted through half the season, as they U-Turned Dave & Connor to win the 8th leg, putting them at odds with the other teams once again, and their more negative traits slowly started reappearing. While they won three legs, they also spent a lot time scraping along at the bottom of the pack, working their way into the Final 3 on the back of several lucky breaks. This luck ran out in the finale, as the combination of a bad cab driver and missing the clue at The Mirage doomed them to 3rd.

Because it\'s padding, Season 18 is Season 18, no need to bring it up in this season just to belittle the Cowboys. And for the Big Easy it\'s already mention that he had sewing problems. Plus, we don\'t know who started the fight in the airport scene.


* TheCharmer: Given that they were able to rally up with the other contestants to go against Brenchel (who at that time were rather neutral with each other prior to the U-Turn fiasco), having a same season ally in Caroline & Jennifer helps as well.



* RejectedApology: They refused Brendon's apology for the U-Turn.

* RejectedApology: They refused Brendon's apology for the U-Turn. And in a deleted scene where they are on a train trip to Switzerland, they and Brenchel tried to clear out the air, but it definitely doesn't work out either.



The ''Series/BigBrother'' couple were back for another shot at the Race, now married. After suffering through an entire season's worth of whining in Season 20, Rachel started off All-Stars as a much nicer person, acting as a calming influence on both Brendon and other teams. However, this only lasted through half the season, as they U-Turned Dave & Connor to win the 8th leg, putting them at odds with the other teams once again, and their more negative traits slowly started reappearing. While they won three legs, they also spent a lot time scraping along at the bottom of the pack, working their way into the Final 3 on the back of several lucky breaks. This luck ran out in the finale, as the combination of a bad cab driver and missing the clue at The Mirage doomed them to 3rd place.

This got brought up more and more as they neared the final leg, with the two of them mentioning it seemingly every five minutes in the finale. Once it became clear they weren't going to win, Rachel started crying about not getting her baby, and their 3rd place finish resigned Rachel to having to wait until Brendon got his doctorate before they could make a "Brenchel Baby".

They then started off All-Stars being portrayed as a far nicer team than in Season 20, completing their move towards being a {{Face}}. However, the {{Heel}} portion started to creep up during Leg 7 (see AlphaBitch), and got worse in the next leg with the team U-Turning Dave & Connor, who were well liked among the other teams, to win a leg, making them outcasts once again. Rachel's whining came back in leg 10, and they completed their move back to villain in the final leg, where tensions burst with the other two Final 3 (starting fights with Jen & Caroline at the airport, and with Dave & Connor by shoveling sand into their hole at the digging task), and then tried to steal Jen & Caroline's cab at the Las Vegas Neon Museum Boneyard.
