Gabe E

Gabe and Oscar came in as a pair of big personalities ready to take over the race. However, after a terrible performance on the first leg of the race, they found themselves barely surviving the first leg and starting the second leg hours behind other teams. Although they were able to move up the ranks due to winning a Star, this progress was killed when Oscar panicked on the Roadblock and took the second longest amount of time to finish it. With a late departure time on the second day, there was some hope they could stay in the race but after being Yielded by Jake B & Jojo, they fell to last place and were eliminated from the race in 11th Place; leaving the game with bitter feelings.

**What makes you a standout team?:** The fact that we are who we are. If you say Gabe I pop right into your mind. If you say Oscar you might think of a little green gremlin who lives on the street and smells like fecal matter, which is an accurate description for both my teammate and the fictional Sesame Street character. My partner and I are multitalented individuals; my strong suit is my social, strategic, and physical game while Oscar's specialty is sucking up to the Musicality judges. Together, we create a perfect duo. With our team, we promise drama. Ten minutes into the first leg I'll already be yelling at Oscar for his pure stupidity. We've each accomplished a lot on Zwooper, and The Amazing Race will be just one more win under our belts.

**What has been your proudest moment on Zwooper?:** My proudest moment is going into The Cage as someone who was pretty much hated by the public and leaving as the winner. Kind of the same with ZBB too except I didn't win :( Oscar's proudest moment on Zwooper was winning 100 chips in the prize draw.

**Why do you think your team will win the Amazing Race?:** We've got double Ds: We are DETERMINED and DESPERATE. Oscar and I will be entering as the top dogs and flopping really isn't an option. We know we have what it takes to win and we will make sure it happens. In that sense, we're also desperate because nothing is off the table to secure a win. If Oscar will strip naked for half of a turkey sandwich, just wait to see what he'll do for the victory.
