### Countries Raced:

United States, Brazil, Russia, Germany, Italy, Greece, Oman, Australia, Thailand, Japan

**Olwen and Brooke** are a team of Brothers on Sleepy's Amazing Race 8.

Olwen and Brooke started The Race strong by handily winning the first leg. Ironically, the second leg would house one of their worst performances of the season, as the brothers panicked during the Detour and bickered about switching to the other side. After working out their communication issues, however, Olwen and Brooke would emerge as one of the most dominant teams of the season, winning multiple legs and finishing almost exclusively at the front of the pack. They notably had an alliance with Janelle and Sable, which was formed in response to Ingrid and Beau's alliance teaming up against them. Though their allies would be eliminated that very leg, Olwen and Brooke continued to survive and made it to the final leg. During the final leg, Olwen and Brooke took an immediate lead that no other team caught up to at any point, allowing them to cross the Finish Line first and win the million dollar prize!

## Profile

### Olwen

**Age:** 32

**Current occupation:** Snowboarder

**Three words to describe you:** Decisive, efficient, piercing

**People would be surprised to learn:** When I was younger there was a girl I'd see at this bar every time I'd go. I tried flirting with her but she totally hated me. I'm not sure if I wooed her with my sick snowboarding tricks or if I just got more tolerable over time, but eventually we started dating and now we're married!

**What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning the million dollars):** It's been a while since I've spent a lot of time with my brother, so that'll be nice. If we work together as well as we used to, with me giving orders and him carrying them out, we'll be unstoppable for sure.

**Pet peeve about your teammate:** He's very sensitive and cries too easily. I've also seen him get surprisingly jealous a few times throughout his life!

**What would you do if you won the million dollars?** I have thought long and hard about this and have a 42-step plan of exactly how to spend, save, and/or invest my money. One of the first steps involves buying a snowboard I've had my eye on for a while.

### Brooke

**Age:** 25

**Current occupation:** Pilot

**Three words to describe you:** Gentle, passionate, optimistic

**People would be surprised to learn:** One time I had a boyfriend cheat on me so I broke into his house and robbed him! In retrospect it's really embarrassing but I was very upset and jealous and feel guilty now. I never got caught though! If this is how you're finding out about that, Jack, I'm sorry and please don't press charges.

**What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning the million dollars):** I hope to use this opportunity to spread messages of joy and positivity to all the places I go, all the people I meet, and all the people that watch the show!

**Pet peeve about your teammate:** He can be really cold and calculating, refusing to acknowledge any emotion. He also has a nasty temper.

**What would you do if you won the million dollars?** The housing market right now is so ridiculous that I'd probably use it to buy a slightly better apartment and use all the leftover money to buy a single mediocre sandwich.
