* BuxomIsBetter: Hence their nickname, the Double-D's.

* ShesGotLegs: Yolanda, which frequently got brought up throughout the race. In the ice hole drilling Detour, she wished she could use her legs rather than her weaker arms.

%% * 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.
-->'''Jeremy''': That's a big mountain. Mt. Tokyo.
-->'''Eric''': Dumbass, must be Mt. Fuji.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: They accidentally walked into a brothel in their final leg while looking for a hotel.

After the failed experiment that was the [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceFamilyEdition Family Edition]], a preview for the Race's 9th season promised a much-needed return to form. However, the season started off very slowly, partially thanks to two teams dominating the season from the very beginning (in both placements and, by extension, screen time). The overly predictable nature of the season, with those two teams winning 11 of the 13 legs, the over-reliance on [[LuckBasedMission "Needle in a Haystack" tasks]], and having two of the most popular teams going out early failed to recapture the momentum that stalled with Family Edition, and the season garnered even worse ratings. However, the season itself did earn many fans, especially since it contains one of the most popular teams to run the race, and the exciting finale started the trend of FinalExamFinale tasks appearing more regularly.

* NiceHat: B.J.'s cowboy hat, and the frog hat he wore in Greece, and the top hat he picked up in Australia.

* BaldOfAwesome: Barry.

* BadassBeard: Both of them as expected of Hippies.

* IrrationalHatred: The poor editing makes their feud with B.J. & Tyler come off like this.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Quite a bit of what they said (like the quote above) got past the radar on what is a family show.
* GlobalIgnorance: While driving in Japan:

* {{Adorkable}}: Both of them.
* {{Leitmotif}}: They got their own "Nerd" theme.

* [[BadassGrandpa Badass]] [[NeverMessWithGranny Grandparents]]: They are the oldest team to ever win a leg, and not a cupcake leg either, as the Roadblock involved searching through a bunch of holes for a bag of meat ''in the middle of the desert''. In the next episode, they complained that the race was ruining their sex life.

* BigOMG: Barry when he learned that he and Fran weren't the last team to arrive in the second leg, and after winning the 7th leg

-->'''Eric''': The airport.

* {{Jerkass}}: Both of them.

* {{Expy}}: Lake, of [[Characters/TheAmazingRace2 Wil]] and [[Characters/TheAmazingRace6 Jonathan]], though he is much less notorious than the other two.

* LovableNerd

* DrivingStick

* NoSenseOfDirection
* SiblingTeam

* NoIndoorVoice

* InSeriesNicknames: Most notably the Double-D's but also the Pinks.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Their other nickname was "The Pinks".

* {{Adorkable}}

* WeHardlyKnewYe

Friends, as the season's dumb blonde team, they constantly made bone-headed mistakes that almost got them eliminated, though they were far more memorable for all the flirting they did with Eric & Jeremy. They have the distinction of being the only direct victims of the Yield in the series (since no other team was eliminated on the same leg they got Yielded) when Lake & Michelle Yielded in near the end of the 4th leg, and Dani subsequently struggled with the statue Roadblock, allowing Ray to pass them, and finished 8th. Danielle was invited back for All-Stars under the requirement that she team with Eric.

* {{Pixellation}}: Ray flicked off Yolanda while crossing the Rio–Antirrio bridge at the beginning of leg 7.
