History Characters / TheAmazingRaceUnfinishedBusiness

* BadassGrandpa: Gary.

* NeverLiveItDown: After they won Unfinished Business, [[{{In-Universe}} Jen admitted in an interview]] that people were teasing her for their Season 14 elimination via bathroom break (calling her "Pee-Pee Girl"), and that winning Unfinished Business hopefully would put this to rest.

* NeverLiveItDown: [[{{In-Universe}} Flight Time]] wouldn't let Big Easy forget about not being able to unscramble "Franz."

* NeverLiveItDown: [[{{In-Universe}} Zev]] reminded Justin that he was the one who lost their passports their first time around.

* NeverLiveItDown: [[{{In-Universe}} Luke himself]] had trouble forgiving his choking at the surfboard Roadblock in the Season 14 finale.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[{{In-Universe}} They cited themselves as Base Breaking Characters in their intro,]] saying that they were a team people loved or hated, there was no middle ground with them.

-->'''Kent''': Just think, you're stuck down in a crevice, then low and behold, Kent & Vyxsin show up on the scene, comin' down in the hole to get ya.

* GenreSavvy: They were the only team to completely ditch their bags in the final leg, though they probably would have been better served leaving them in the overhead compartments instead of [[Characters/TheAmazingRace5 checking their bags before getting on the flight.]]

* GenreSavvy: When decoding the nautical flag message in the premiere, Mallory decoded the first two letters as "F-I," and immediately said that the first three words will be, "Find your way..."

* [[WrongGenreSavvy Wrong Season Savvy]]: This was the worst season possible for them to stay separate from the other teams. On any other season, it would not have hurt them quite so badly.

* {{Expy}}: Without Brook around to [[SpotlightStealingSquad hog the spotlight]], it became very apparent why Mallory got kind of shoved into the background during [[Characters/TheAmazingRace17 Season 17]]. Brook and Mallory were the exact same character type, only Brook was loonier and got farther.

* BaseBreaker: [[{{In-Universe}} They cited themselves as Base Breakers in their intro,]] saying that they were a team people loved or hated, there was no middle ground with them.

Originally unable to reach the Finish Line first due to a bad cab driver (though Jaime struggling to find the last surfboard at the Final Roadblock didn't help), the cheerleaders were back in red, this time with Jaime now a {{Playboy}} Playmate. They consistently lagged near the back of the pack, with Cara pointing out how they had never performed that badly during Season 14. They were eliminated in 9th place when Jaime struggled to complete the dinosaur assembly Roadblock.

* XtremeKoolLetterz: Vyxsin. Kent was formerly this before his father's death.

* NiceHat: Their Cowboys Hats to the point of {{IconicItem}}s.

* BigOMG: Margie in their final leg after Luke finally completing the tea tasting roadblock.

* BigOMG: Margie in their final leg after Luke final completely the tea tasting roadblock.

* TheNoseKnows: During the needle-in-a-haystack tea-tasting task, Ron simply sniffed for the correct flavor, and thus finished the task on his first guess. Both Jet and Malory eventually picked up this tactic, but it took them both a lot longer.

* NiceHat: Their Cowboys Hats to the point of IconicItems.

* BreakTheCutie: Vyxsin's story line in general. Most notably in Austria after being wrongfully accused by the Globetrotters of stealing's Flight Time's mold.

** The penultimate leg began with Jen saying this had been the leg they had been eliminated last time. Later in the leg, they compared their cab driver dropping them off in the wrong part of Brazil to them getting lost looking for the U-Turn mat in that leg.

* RealMenWearPinkL Kent.

* RealMenWearPink

* XtremeKoolLetterz

* NiceHat

* AsianAndNerdy

* CoolOldLady: Margie being an Action Mom and [[NeverMessWithGranny BadassGrandma]]

* BigYes: When they entered the final three.

* UnderdogsNeverLose: Viewed as this because of their inability to finish first at the Pit Stop.

* BadLuckCharm: In At the Fuel Patty detour in India, Mallory noticed that she was wearing the same outfit as she did the Mature Roadblock in Russia. Mallory concludes the clothing was this and was going to throw it away after the race.

* CatchPhrase: Mallory's {{BigOMG}}s and Oh my Goshes.

* UnderdogsNeverLose

* LovableJock

* BigOMG: Mallory after winning the first leg and the Express Pass.

* PrecisionFStrike: Kisha when they realized that the clue was actually under the sample lid the entire time they believed it was telling them to go to the factory.

* SiblingTeam: The First Team of Sisters to win

* BigOMG: Margie when Luke finall

The results were surprising, with the mostly even skill-sets of the teams causing them to consistently be bunched together and shoot up and down the standings from leg to leg. The former Final 3 finishers faltered, coming in at 6th through 9th places and only winning 2 legs, while the teams who won the most legs originally finished 6th and 9th (combining for zero wins in their previous seasons), with the eventual winners being a team who few would have bet on even while the season was running. Though the season had its flaws, most glaringly the domination of answer-sharing alliances that rendered many of the puzzle tasks almost moot, the experiment was generally considered a success, as the positives (such as the increased level of difficulty that was missing from All-Stars, and one of the best finales in the series) far outnumbered the negatives. It left fans anticipating a similar season in the future.

* SiblingTeam

* BigOMG: Mallory after winning the first leg and the express pass.

* GirlishPigtails: Mallory often wore her hair in Braids.

* LuckySeven: Said this about leaving on seventh on leg 4.

* {{Meganekko}}: Vyxsin had a tendency to wear glasses on

* HistoryRepeats: A team once again won an [[Characters/TheAmazingRace11 All-Star season]] after previously having won zero individual legs.

* CoolOldGuy

* NoSenseOfDirection: They drove for hours in the wrong direction in Japan. Unlike their previous season, they didn't even have the excuse of it being a particularly difficult drive, as it was to a ''production-arranged'' flight they were given all night to get to.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: They were a very popular team in Season 12, due to their wardrobe, their relationship, and their general quirk of being a pair of {{Perky Goth}}s, but during the second half of the season they turned from "quirky and loveable pair of goths" to "just another fighting couple" (which was exacerbated Kent's injury in leg 5), and grated on the nerves of many viewers, who were happy to see them fall short of making the Final 4.

* HideYourGays: They still didn't talk about Kisha's sexuality.

Originally eliminated after Big Easy was unable to unscramble the word "Franz," [[IncrediblyLamePun they returned to trot the globe again]]. Already notorious information leeches during Season 15, they took it [[UpToEleven up to eleven]] this time, as they, out off all the teams, benefited the most from the alliance-dominated season. They used their charisma to get answers from other teams (mostly Zev & Justin), and stay with the pack, despite rarely completing a mental task on their own. They reached the Final 3, creating much apprehension among some fans who were worried that, despite their two leg wins, they were about to see another All-Star season end with a controversial winner. They took a brief lead in the final leg following the first Roadblock, but Kisha & Jen passed them by when their cab went to get more gas, and they were unable to catch up during any of the remaining tasks. So, much like the Washington Generals, they finished 2nd, but would get another shot at the million on the second [[Characters/TheAmazingRace24 All-Stars.]]

Originally eliminated for getting lost for 8 hours in Oman, the Kentucky father/daughter duo returned to spread sunshine once again. They came into the season as one of the more questionable casting choices, as they had previously been overshadowed, both character-wise and gameplay-wise, by the duos of Brook & Claire and Nat & Kat. However, without the massive presence of Brook to overshadow her, Mallory was able to shine, and they quickly became fan favorites. Gary continued to rock the Race, as they won three legs on their way to the Final 3. After Zev & Justin were gone, they were the favorites to win until a bad cab driver completely put them out of contention in the final leg, and they finished 3rd. Mallory would return as [[Characters/TheAmazingRace20 Mark Jackson's]] replacement partner on the second [[Characters/TheAmazingRace24 All-Stars.]]

They were ultimately done in by a combination of their poor navigation skills and the answer-sharing alliances they were not part of. Jet got lost during the Lichtenstein measuring Roadblock, and even though Flight Time also got lost, only Jet had to re-run the task, as Flight Time was able to get the answer from Justin. This put them so far behind that they could not catch up, even with the Globetrotters making several mistakes during the Detour. A U-Turn at the end of the leg sealed their fate in 6th place, as they were the last remaining previous Final 3 team to go out. They would get another chance to rectify this on the second [[Characters/TheAmazingRace24 All-Stars.]]

Previously losing due to Luke choking away a huge lead at his season's Final Roadblock, the Bionic Woman and Sinister Deaf Kid returned with Luke vowing to not make the same mistake twice. They started out slowly, but had seemingly found their groove with a a pair of strong legs, including a leg win, in China. However, Luke broke down at a Roadblock once again, as he was the last to identify the correct tea at the tea-tasting Roadblock, and they finished in 8th. they would be given a third chance on the second [[Characters/TheAmazingRace24 All-Stars.]]

* ActionMom

* NeverMessWithGranny[=/=]CoolOldLady: Margie dedicated the dinosaur building Roadblock to her 4-year-old grandson.
