Amazing Race 14′: Chats with winners and others at season’s end

Though they were behind most of last night’s episode, the brother-sister team of Tammy and Victor Jih ended up winning the 14th season of “The Amazing Race.”
Both are Harvard-educated attorneys — Victor, 35, works in Century City and Tammy, 26, in San Francisco — who started Season 14 with Victor taking on the role of big brother, bossing his little sister around. But when he led them on the wrong path in Romania, Victor finally realized his sister was a grown-up and the two became strong collaborators.
Here’s a conversation we had with them Monday.
Q: Congratulations!
Tammy and Victor: Thank you.

Q: What was so interesting about you two is that your relationship changed so much during the course of the race.

Victor: Originally, my mom, when she heard that we wanted to go on the show, she said, “Why would you ever want to do that?” And the first thing she told us when we went was “just don’t fight with each other.” After the show, we came on home and we got along fine. It has been great for her and my dad to watch it and she thinks it’s been great for us, even though it’s embarrassing at times; they said, “How often do you get to put a mirror or yourself and see yourself as other people see you?” They have actually enjoyed it as a growing experience for us.:
Q: Why did you decide to do the race?
Tammy: I think we both did the race because it is an incredible adventure and an opportunity to step outside of our normal lives. We both work incredibly hard and have routine lives. This is an opportunity to travel the world and meet people, challenge ourselves and do things we are not good at and the chance to do it together.
Victor: One of my main objectives was to mix up my life a little bit. I think I have always done what I was supposed to do and having gone from school to the work world, you sort of fall into the routine. What is go great about “The Amazing Race” is it allows people to actually think about: “Wouldn’t it be crazy if I did this?” I just loved the idea of putting myself out of my comfort zone.
Q: Were you athletic before the race?
Victor: We were labeled as “reasonably athletic.” I was real young when I was in high school. I think I was 16 when I graduated from high school. I couldn’t run; I was always the last picked. I think my dad always told my sister and me that we were not blessed with athletic genes and I think we both realized we are more fit and capable of physical things than we thought we were.
Tammy: For me growing up, P.E. was my hardest class, as embarrassing as that is. As I’ve gotten older, I love yoga and that has really increased my strength. but compared to people like Margie and Luke and Jennifer and Kisha who are in incredible shape, I don’t think we were as strong as them, but we were in good enough shape to keep up with them.”
Q: Are you back at work?
Victor: It’s back to the grind probably starting tomorrow.
