FORT LAUDERDALE — A local South Florida couple has officially made a massive statement on the global stage.
Fort Lauderdale newlyweds Javi Vintimilla and Erin Taylor have won the first leg of “The Amazing Race” season thirty-nine premiere. The dynamic South Florida couple showcased brilliant early-game strategy, utilizing an early Express Pass to completely bypass a roadblock. The high-stakes tactical move allowed them to dynamically vault all the way from twelfth place into first place on the one-million-dollar reality show.
While the fierce television competition is just heating up, the stakes are even higher at home. The couple next travels to Mexico City for leg two of their journey, all while eagerly awaiting the birth of their first baby, who is officially due in just two weeks.
As Vintimilla noted following the broadcast, navigating the intense race under pressure is far harder than it looks from the comfort of a living room couch.
