BJ & Tyler are bohemian best buds who first met four years ago during the Semester at Sea program, where they shared the experience of sailing around the world. One of their most memorable moments was starting a dance party in the streets of downtown Guilin, China, which turned into a mass gathering of hundreds of Chinese men. They have been friends ever since, whether bouncing on trampolines at Burning Man or spontaneously swimming in the San Francisco Bay.

BJ is a graduate of Harvard University, while Tyler graduated from UC Santa Cruz after completing two semesters abroad--one in Hungary, the other in South Africa. Both have traveled the world extensively and speak several languages including Spanish and Japanese.

Both BJ and Tyler share a love of adventure, travel, and good times. After graduating from college, BJ moved to California to pursue surfing, karate and frisbee. Meanwhile, Tyler fell in love with a Japanese girl and decided to impress her by walking the 2000-mile length of Japan.

Their primary motivation for taking part in THE AMAZING RACE is to share in the adventure of racing around the world, meeting new people and, of course, winning $1 million.

I'm so hoping that these two are going to be as much fun to watch as they look!

It's going to go either way: We'll either love them, or love to hate them. They'll be incredibly entertaining to watch, or incredibly annoying.

So far, I'm on the "Love them" side. Bring it on!

I'm on the love them side too - but of course we won't really know until we see them in action.

This has to be a fun team. One of them is wearing a "puffy" shirt in the advertisement.

Saw the ad last night! I was not a Seinfeld fan, so missed the show you referred to! I caught a few but not many of them -

They look and sound like they will be a lot of fun to watch. With the extensive travel and language skill they are my pick to win.

If you squint your eyes just a little, the one on the left looks like Peter Horton.

I liked them too - when they quit trying to be cute and started concentrating on the race.

And I really believed them at the end when they talked about enjoying the journey.

I think both of these guys are VERY, VERY bright, and I just hope they don't sacrifice the advantages they are bringing into the race through buffoonery!

Wonder where they get the money to do all that traveling?

I wish they would tell me so I could also; giggle.

I just found out that Tyler was my daughter's boyfriend's RA at Santa Cruz. He said he really is one of the coolest, laid back guys. He also said that Tyler was very smart and seemed to know something about everything.

They've won me over.

I like them, and I'm rooting for them. I don't see the fake in them that I thought I did.

I like this team. I have found the teams that work best together is the team that usually wins.

I agree they are a new age Cheech & Chong!

I adore these two (although I think they need a shave LOL). I hope they win it all.

These guys are so likable, versatile, personable, intelligent, friendly, off-the-wall, excitable, that they just scream with being hosts or stars of some fabulous show. They would be so entertaining and fun to watch. Hope one of the networks can think of something really good for these two...I'd watch them again, and again.

Yep, this is the team I would invite over for barbeque and beer around the complex pool! AND I think they would accept even though I am old enough to be their grandmama because they are just that kind of guys!

TTOW was on them

here's some speculation that I found...

from www.twop.com
Oh, and when BJ and Tyler head-butt, they say, "T-Tow!" Like on their shirts. In an interview, one of them says that this is their "power word," and the other says it's "the circle of the universe." That right there is a perfect example of why I find them so tiresome. If you just had a habit of saying "T-Tow!", it might be cute. But when you say it, and you put in on your shirts, and you tell us it's your official "power word," and you say some shit about how it's "the circle of the universe," now all of a sudden, it's stupid. I will close by saying that I am fairly confident that if there is a word that is the circle of the universe, I am reasonably confident that it is not "T-Tow."


and then here's another forum discussing it..the last post sort of confirms the twop thought

Go Hippies! This is the first season I have really gotten into TAR and they are why. I think they are both cute, too.

My Mom was just visiting and saw her first ever show of TAR and was totally sold on it....because of the Hippies. ;-)

They certainly have great appeal and I hope they make it all the way to the big money!
