5	[[folder: Leo and Annie, Siblings]]
6	Siblings from Ohio, [[RaisedByGrandparents raised by their grandparents]]. Annie is always on the positive side while Leo is more cynical and real.
7
8	----
9	* BerserkButton: Annie doesn't take lightly to people who think she just coasts on challenges and doesn't put any real effort into racing.
10	* BigBrotherInstinct: Leo exemplifies this throughout most of the race but the premiere example has to be tackling Josee and delivering a ReasonYouSuckSpeech to her after she kicks Annie back into the snake pit in Greece.
11	* BigEater: Annie managed to polish off most of the beans in Alberta and both of them showed almost no disgust to the feast in Iceland.
12	* BornLucky: Annie. She doesn't get stung by the ants in Brazil, gets her ring on the narwhal relatively quickly and gets a Bowery fish on her first jump while her brother jumped several times.
13	* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Both of their parents wound up committing adultery and eventually local cops got involved and the young Leo and Annie bore witness to it. It's why Leo was so apprehensive about pursuing a relationship with June.]]
14	* FriendToAllLivingThings: Annie gets along almost supernaturally well with animals. Several people have even described her as a [[Franchise/DisneyPrincess Disney character come to life.]]
15	* GoodIsNotDumb: Even Annie has come recognize that the Ice Dancers aren't nice people.
16	* HairOfGold: Annie.
17	* InelegantBlubbering: [[spoiler: Befalls upon Leo when he confesses his love to June]]

19	* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: In addition to the above mentioned tongue lashing Leo gives to Josee in Greece, Annie delivers another one to her London for saying she hasn't put any effort into the competition.
20	** Leo also delivers one to [[spoiler: Chris Mclean]] in the finale, repeatedly calling out his atrocities over the series.
21	* SpiritedCompetitor: On the flight to Russia, most of the other teams bemoan the fact that they lost a time advantage when the bottom 4 teams arrive on their flight but Annie congratulates them for making it.
22	* SuddenlyBilingual: Downplayed but Annie admitted she learned how to say “please, hello, thank you, yes, no, and goodbye“ in over 27 different languages. Something she uses to her advantage in Iceland.
23	* UnaffectedBySpice: Annie doesn't notice when she eats a wasabi roll in Japan, with the chef having to point it out. And like Crimson she tolerates the ghost chile like it was nothing. (At most she rubs her cheek with mild annoyance, like one might do if they accidentally prick their finger)

45	* AwesomeByAnalysis: How Quince completes the air guitar challenge in Finland.
46	* ChekhovsSkill:
47	** Their dance training unsurprisingly allows them to breeze right through the Haka dance challenge in New Zealand. Allowing them to win 2nd place that leg and be the only other team, aside from Jacques and Josee, to accomplish the challenge in one go.
48	** It comes in handy again when they do the robot arcade dance challenge in Japan.
49	** Zigzagged in regards to the air guitar challenge in Finland. Quince is the musician of the 2 but he's not trained in rock and roll, yet after watching Dani's performance once he's able to copy it and advance himself and June to the next round.
