The Amazing Race > The Amazing Race Discussion
Any teams who have become more famous post-Race?
RachelLeVega:
I've noticed that some reality competitions have produced successful celebrity figures such as American Idol, introducing Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert and Carrie Underwood to the world; Survivor, turning contestant Elisabeth Hasselback into a talk show hostess; and American Ninja Warrior, providing Jessie Graff the spotlight to become the "new Jackie Chan" with an incredible fan-base. Outside of CBS-Amazing Race territory, I've only immediately recognized Canaan Smith from season 15 who has grown his fame substantially by releasing a hit country single and discovered Blake from season 2 becoming the founder of TOMS shoes.
Are there any other media newcomers who went onto do and become bigger public figures? Those already well-known in their fields and media moments (Adam & Bethany, Josh & Brent, Caite Upton, Survivor/BB crossovers, etc.) don't count.
Xoruz:
Stassi Schroeder was on the Bravo show Vanderpump Rules post TAR:FE.
Jamie was part of Playboy after her appearance on TAR 14.
Not sure if this completely counts but Amy Purdy went on to become a paralympian and was on Dancing with the Stars after TAR 21 (she did appear in a movie in 2005, but it was only shown in film festivals not in the cinema).
To add on with TAR Australia:
Nathan competed on Celebrity Apprentice Australia after TARAu 1.
Mel became a famous radio host after TARAu 1, which unfortunately led to the infamous prank call that led to the suicide of Kate Middleton's nurse.
Maanca:
Only ones I can think of off-hand are Canadian racers.
-Alain Chanoine from Season 2 landed his first Hollywood role last year playing Incubus in Suicide Squad.
-Lesbian couple Steph LeClair and Kristen McKenzie from Season 4 started a YouTube channel that in just over a year has accumulated 54,000 subscribers.

TAR4 Reichen for various reasons. :D
For TARPH (and only in the Philippines, obviously)...
Season 1's Jervi (who had become a producer for TARPH2) is enjoying some fame now after a couple of funny viral videos. Also, Gee has gotten steady acting work on TV. Angel is a journalist for ABS-CBN.
Season 2's Phoebe is getting solid movie roles and attention.
