As Courtney said, “The race really brings a lot of emotions out of you.
As much as you’re giving, you get back as well.
So, it truly is its name.It’s an amazing experience.”

How are you feeling?
COURTNEY RAMSEY:We’re feeling great and amazing, of course.
JASMIN CAREY:Yeah!

We did that."
JASMIN: And you feel very proud.
Even with having a much earlier exit than what we anticipated.
We took a chance and just said, “Why not?
We loveThe Amazing Race.
You think we can do this?
Let’s go.”
I wore yellow in your honor.
COURTNEY and JASMINE: Awww!
COLLIDER: If you could describe your experience onThe Amazing Racein one single word, what would it be?
I would say depth.
I would say depth because I shared about the loss of my mom.
The race really brings a lot of emotions out of you.
As much as you’re giving, you get back as well.
So, it truly is its name.
It’s an amazing experience.
JASMIN: And it teaches you so much about yourself.
Prior to the show, we had both traveled before.
We never traveled together, though.
And obviously, we never traveled under pressure on international TV.
But to still believe in yourself, to still bet on yourself, to still try.
And even if it doesn’t work out, how you anticipate, you still have gained something.
And so, in that sense, your life has just changed.
COURTNEY: Just do it now.
COLLIDER: I got to know, are you willing to travel together again in the future?
COURTNEY: Oh, absolutely.
I’m just kidding.
The first place that I went to out of the country was Tanzania.
and Jazzy went to Barbados.
So The Amazing Race was like that 3.0.
COURTNEY: So much unknown.
JASMIN: I’m glad we stepped up to the challenge, and we tried our best.
COLLIDER: How did being nurses prepare you for the race?
Are there any similarities?
JASMIN: So funny that you asked that.
We felt very prepared as nurses to be on the race for the following reasons.
all the things you heard us say on the show.
Which is different from the hospital because you always know where everything is.
COURTNEY: You know what’s in your arsenal.
Even if the situation is different, there’s something about it that you’ve experienced before.
JASMIN: You know exactly what to do.
But on the show, it’s a little different.
We weren’t in the hospital, we were out in the world.
What was it like knowing you just eeked outMark Crawford and Larry Graham?
COURTNEY: Oh my goodness.
“Hey, this is a skill-based challenge.
Let’s go with dancing.”
Like dances, hands down.
I’m like a one-two stepper.
I can follow, but she’s gonna lead.
JASMIN: She was the tail.
The best tail ever.
COURTNEY: But that was our chance to get ahead.
And that part, we had a moment to think.
So, that was a game-changer for us.
We knew thatNick and Mike [Fiorito]were still there, Mark and Larry.
So let’s go for it.
Let’s choose this."
COLLIDER: Leg three, you to get to Kyoto, you took a bullet train.
How amazing was that?
JASMIN: That was awesome.
Before going to Kyoto, I didn’t even know Shinkansen existed, first of all.
So obviously, having that experience, yeah, it was amazing.
COURTNEY: You got there so fast.
JASMIN: So fast.
COURTNEY: And what would probably take, what, three hours?
We got there in, like, 15 minutes.
JASMIN: We’ve been on subways in New York.
COLLIDER: Alright, Courtney, let’s talk about the Roadblock.
What was the hardest part about it?
COURTNEY: You know what?
No, allow yourself to fail.
Let me calm down, take a moment, and just do it."
And so I did allow myself to do that, but it was like all of the things.
I think the most challenging thing was the heat.
COURTNEY: And I was really tunnel vision in that moment.
I really was trying my hardest to get it there.
COLLIDER: When Han and Holden Nguyen did arrive, did it add pressure?
It was encouraging that,Bernie [Gutierrez]andCarrigain [Scadden]was still there.
I’m like, “Okay, there’s still a chance.”
You’re going to get it.
Just keep going."
You’ve seen so many episodes where this has turned around.
Who knows?This is the season of twists and surprises.Anything can happen.
So yeah, we were still hopeful.
COLLIDER: So there were four teams left at the Fold It Detour.
There was some hope left.
What was the hardest part about that challenge?
So, one, the paper was super huge, right?
And origami is very intricate, right?
So the cute little kids were folding their hearts out, right?
Bridget and Ernest had been preparing for ‘The Amazing Race’ since their family vacations.
JASMIN: It’s brought us closer.
We both learned things about ourselves individually.
So that’s one of the main things that we’ve learned.
COURTNEY and JASMIN: And our communication.
COURTNEY: Gentle communication.
Don’t regret it at all.
COLLIDER: Would you do it again?
COURTNEY: She would be dragging me.
JASMIN: Yes, we would.
Yes, we would.
JASMIN: Watching it is so different.
COURTNEY: Watching it from the comfort of your home is very different.
Yes, we paused, and we were engaged and trying to memorize things.
JASMIN: Doing things like Riverdance.
That was season 35.
And we still believe that we can, now knowing what areas we would need to improve on.
So yeah, absolutely.
We would do it.
COLLIDER: Let’s end on a high.
What was the best part of The Amazing Race that was not game-related?
COURTNEY: Here’s what I’ll say.
The attire, the energy, the atmosphere.
COURTNEY: And I really appreciate the kindness of the people.
COLLIDER: Well, congratulations on an amazing run, and it was so much fun watching you.
JASMIN: Thank you.
COURTNEY: Thank you so much, Michael.
