Xander and Duke

Xander Oswald and Duke Baldric are a team of Lawyers on Sleepy's Amazing Race 5.

Xander and Duke started The Race with a bang by winning the first leg and the Express Pass. They then fell to the bottom of the pack and wasted the Express Pass before shooting back the top and winning two legs in a row. They're most memorable for being incredibly rude to the other contestants and talking down to them. Their time in The Race would end during the 7th leg after Quinn and June and Lavender and Casey worked together to U-Turn them, causing them to fall behind enough that they were eliminated in 7th place.

Profile
Xander and Duke met while working as lawyers in Maryland. They've both naturally had a tendency for arguing all their lives so it was only natural for them to become lawyers. According to them, neither of them have ever lost a case (but that's only because they refuse to admit their mistakes). Can these two very likeable and deep characters win The Race or become fan favorites? Definitely not the latter, but the former is yet to be seen!
