Carmen & Lindsey - Heiresses/Twins ; 28 and 28
Describing Carmen & Lindsey as "rich" would be an understatement. The pair have a combined inheritance from their business conglomerate parents totaling a breathtaking 50 million US dollars. Evidently, the pair aren't running the race for the money but will instead donate whatever they win from the race to charitable causes. Carmen expresses that they're in the race because they want to be pushed and are curious how capable they really are on their own. Lindsey quickly jumps on this comment and says, "Well duh. It's not like we can't afford to travel around the world... But this is gonna be the ultimate test for us. And maybe it'll be a good wake up call, if there's a need for one." She also states that many people instantly label them as bimbotic and spoilt wastrels who are nothing without their parents' money. Both feel that they honestly believe that they are going to surprise many people as despite having been pampered all their lives, they know that they are tough women. Carmen, the older twin, however, admits that both of them, especially Lindsey, are high-maintenance girls and that while they are definitely not snobs, they sometimes rub people off the wrong way. Lindsey is quick to comment that she is more than able to throw a massive bitchfit at anyone who dares tread on their toes.

Veronica & Francine - Retirees/Life Partners ; 54 and 57
Veronica & Francine have an unique relationship, to say the least. Both have been living together for nearly 25 years now but yet, they both describe their sexuality as "straight". Veronica jokes that they tried the whole Lesbian thing many times but it was just "not their cup of tea". Francine complements her joke and says that perhaps they are asexual instead. Both have been each other's best friends since childhood and continue to be each other's sole companion as both are still unmarried. Veronica describes 90% of men as jerks, 9% of the other 10% are gay and that's why they have remained unattached. With such a strong and solid relationship, it is no wonder that both feel that despite their age, they will be strong contenders for the million dollars. With age comes experience says Francine and as far as travelling experience is concerned, they feel that they are unmatched as throughout their lives, they have visited more than 30 different countries across all six inhabited continents. When it comes to the strategic aspect of the race, they joke that they hope to be underestimated and then use their walking sticks to stab the "ignorant young fools'" back who will never know what hit them. But on a serious note, they state that their sheer willpower and determination will probably propel them out of the "cannon fodders group" at the very least.
