Read Alana and Leo’s full bios.

Three words to describe you: Talkative, excitable, and smart.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? 
I hope to gain a deeper trust and better understanding of Leo, especially in high-stress situations. My trust in myself can falter and I want to see how much I can rely on him. We are great complements to each other, great partners, and, yeah, I want to test that.

Leo and Alana are now married. I saw a post on Twitter tagging them, and they have the same last name (Alana’s!), so I googled. I wish you two many happy years!

Saw an interview with Leo and Alana (it’s on the TAR Facebook page). Yes they are now married and not only that, they are very good friends with Will and James. According to Alana, Leo and James text daily.

For a second, I read that as "I wish you two happy years!" and I was like, "Kind of harsh, only two good years".  Then I re-read it.

Of course, back in the day, they would have had to already been in their "pre-existing relationship" for two years, IIRC.  Instead they've only been dating for ten months.  But it doesn't seem to have impaired them, admittedly.
