On the last leg of The Amazing Race, cousins Alex Manard and Adam Dingeman were the last to reach Phil at the mat in Buenos Aires, Argentina and were sent home. The final three teams were all hampered by taxi issues (such as finding one) and Adam and Alex went home because of bad luck.

With nine teams remaining on The Amazing Race, who will be sent home next? Let's try and pick who will be safe to race another day, and who will be packing their bags for home.

Thankfully, the nervous part is over as FX has ordered a second season, meaning we'll get to keep seeing Matthew Rhys in a variety of disguises. Additionally, Nielsen has finished counting the viewers for the premiere and it now ranks as FX's most-watched series debut.

Over seven episodes, Alex will leave his wallet and credit cards behind and attempt to travel around the world for free, relying on an internet fan community, his own ingenuity and the kindness of strangers to journey through South America, Africa, India and Asia, and ultimately, back to the U.
