In the fifth episode of The Amazing Race, host Phil Koeghan points out that Lulu and Lala tend to speak in unison. And he’s not wrong. Throughout Distractify’s conversation with the twins, who are, in fact, identical, it was like they had one mind. That seems like a big advantage in a race in which the partners need to have a strong sense of harmony.
However, the twins did share that they had a major blowout that wasn’t fully aired — much to their relief.
“In the first or second leg that aired, we had a big fight,” Lala revealed. “But there was so much more to that. We were happy that they didn't air all of it because it got pretty nasty."
“The anxiety [in the race] is too overwhelming,” Lulu added.
Thankfully the pair got over their fight and keep on competing to become serious contenders in the race.
The twins are clearly in it to win it, but when they were forced to take a 19-month hiatus due to COVID-19, they realized that it’s just as important to have fun.
“The first three legs, I don't think we enjoyed ourselves and we spent so much time bickering,” Lala explained. “When we came back, we were like let’s just appreciate that we're even able to finish the race and really have fun. Let’s be kids and really pretend that we're just running a race.”
