Avi & Joe were born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. They met 17 years ago in a high school Spanish class. Joe moved to Los Angeles six years ago to expand his advertising business, while Avi is still in Brooklyn, living with his girlfriend and five-year-old daughter and teaching at the same high school where they met. They are both proud of their similar Jewish upbringings. Joe describes himself as the stereotypical "New York Jew." Their similar characteristics are their knowledge and appreciation of the same Yiddish expressions and their love of the Mets. Joe describes himself as Jerry Seinfeld meets Yoda (with Donald Trump's business flair) and says Avi is George Costanza meets Napoleon. However, Avi sees himself more as Woody Allen and sees Joe as Shaggy from "Scooby-Doo." They both agree that one of their most memorable times together was meeting Avi's childhood idol, Tom Wopat, after a Broadway play. Although the distance between New York and Los Angeles prevents their weekly kibbitz sessions at the local kosher deli, they make up for it by spending many hours talking on the phone. Their motivation for going on THE AMAZING RACE is to spend quality time together, to challenge themselves and to win the $1 million.

Though not likely to be a popular opinion, I'm sure, but these two would have driven me bananas. I am not sorry to see them go.

I was glad to see them go. I think if they had stuck around they would have been whiners.

I thought they would have been entertaining and a lot better to watch than Jonathon and Victoria or Lori harping at Bolo.

I've always thought the reason the first team gets elimiated has always been due to stupidity... ...choosing to search over the climb was pure stupidity for these guys. Even the elderly couple made it up the ice cliff.
