S32: Will and James (dating)

[Whimsy]

Read Will and James’ full bios.

Name: Will Jardell
Age: 30
Hometown: Nederland, Texas
Current occupation: Public health specialist and dance teacher

Three words to describe you: Go-getter, realistic, and fierce. 

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? 
Since meeting James in 2014, I’ve always known that his biggest dream was to run The Amazing Race, and to be a part of fulfilling that dream is incredibly humbling. I hope that through this process, I can show James how much I support him in achieving any goal he sets for himself because he has supported me in achieving every goal I have set for myself. He’s the best partner and I hope that I can be the best partner for him throughout the entire race. 

Name: James Wallington
Age: 31
Hometown: Grand Rapids, Michigan  
Current occupation: Event coordinator and social media manager

Three words to describe you: Passionate, ambitious, outgoing.

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Amazing Race with your partner (other than winning one million bucks)? 
In the words of Bill Murray, "If you think someone is the one, travel the world together and if you’re still in love, get married at the airport." I hope throughout the race Will and I are able to gain a deeper understanding of who we are as individuals and as a couple; resulting in a deeper love and appreciation for each other that will accelerate our relationship into the next chapter… marriage!

Hah, finally realized where I saw Will before - he was on ANTM.

Yes he was. 
But their international backpack traveling experience, which is substantial and brings a remarkable skill set to the Race, makes them my favorites for this season.

Have they gotten married yet?

[theschnauzers]

They had originally planned the wedding for this past October in New Orleans, but postponed it to March 2021 due to COVID-19. All of their cast are invited just as they said on the Final Mat (filmed two years ago.)
