### CountriesRaced:

**Michael E** is a student who raced on *The Amazing Race 1* and later returned for *The Amazing Race 2*.

After a strong first leg, The Doctor determined that Michael was an early favorite to make it to the Final 3. However, this was proved wrong in Leg 2 after a series of bad decisions and unluckiness. Although he arrived at the airport in 4th, which means he could have secured a ticket on the first flight to Thailand: Michael hastily booked a ticket on the second flight out. Followed by the error at the airport, Michael left the Roadblock at the waterpark in last after being the only racer to ride every single ride before finding both halves of the clue. After this point, he never saw another racer for the remainder of the leg and his last hopes of checking in 12th after Ethan H incurred a penalty were dashed when his score did not save at the Detour relegating him to a 13th place finish.

**What makes you a standout team?:** We are two of the most competitive people and for better or for worse will leave it all out on the table. Mepole is king of physical game and I can rock the social one, so together, we're ready to make this game our bitch. We both have a tendency to either flop entirely or win the whole thing so... fingers crossed to which one this will be :)

**What has been your proudest moment on Zwooper?:** Sara: coming into Zwooper at the start of quarantine completely unknown, finaling in my first 4 games, and then completely flopping the next few (eyes Champions). After convincing myself it was all beginner's luck, I came back and won Interstellar and proved to myself I've still got it :' ) Mepole: he's a 2-time Champions winner need we say more?

**Why do you think your team will win the Amazing Race?:** Have you ever watched Mepole solve a puzzle? Yeah, me neither, because by the time you've blinked he's finished. Between our efficient problem solving skills, proven team work, dashingly good looks, lack of hobbies outside of the internet, and aggressive drives to win, losing is not an option here. **Age:** 22

**What makes you a standout player?:** I feel like I have proven myself in these sort of comp based games in the past, with the Wild, and my performances in the Chase. Also, I just really like these types of games that really make you think under pressure when you have to complete a comp like this.

**What has been your proudest moment on Zwooper?:** I would have to say my proudest moment on Zwooper is winning Champions: Heroes versus villains. I came in as the winner of the last all star season, and was able to win the second one as well, something I thought I had very little chance at coming into the game.

**Why do you think you will win the Amazing Race?:** I think I will win the Amazing Race because I work very well under pressure, and am good at getting to the heart of the strategy for various competitions. It might not seem like much, but even taking a minute to really examine the task can sometimes give you a huge advantage versus people who jump right in without thinking. Plus, I always love these type of formats, and that excitement to play will help propel me to a win, I am sure.
