Wow, they aren't very old. It would be cool if they were the youngest team to win or make it to a certain leg.

I like them too.

I like Lexi, she seems fun! Trey still has a lot to show. They are probably one of the youngest couples the show has ever had, I predict they'll be really sweet and supportive OR they're this season's token bickering team  :(

Nobody's asking me to root for them, I just can't due to college rivalry. Thus, they're automatically the worst team here, and solely for that fact.

I think you're going to confuse non-Americans with that vague explanation. The University of Texas (Athletic teams nickname "Longhorns") and the University of Oklahoma (Athletic teams nickname "Sooners") are longtime rivals on the sports fields and not just in (American) football. Both schools place their teams in the same all-sports conference, known as The Big 12, although it no longer has 12 teams.

I can stay out of that rivalry because I went to an even better university in academics and sports (JMHO).  :tup:

And this is one team (of three or four) I do so far like on paper.

They are each other's cheerleader. Oh really. :lol:

I foresee alot of screaming/shouting from this team. As I watch them, the words MOJO kept shouting into our head.

We'll see...

I think Lexi will pull down the team. Just a guess.

This is my favorite team <3 I just love how they're so innocent(like more than Jordan Lloyd, Lexi at least :lol: ) Lexi looked like such a wide eyed kid in a candy store as they say, throughout the 2 legs. Plus it's their first time out, who can say they went to China as their first foreign country?

You're not alone Kandace! I'm loving them as well! For their first time out of the US, they are handling it VERY well! Trey doesn't really say much but Lexi seems so much fun! I really hope they don't start major bickering (if they bicker a little that's fine) and I hope they go really far!

For some reason I don't see this team as one that will bicker...  :duno:

For the couples the only one that I could see that might start to major bicker were Rob and Sheila...and I guess we don't have to worry about them anymore!  :lol:

I agree!!! I don't understand why people see them as the "bickering couple". Though, I can see Abbie and Ryan bickering, IDK why.

I guess this is meant to be the 'All American' team, affluent looking, good looking, white, blond, blue-eyed probably.  So we are all supposed to be rooting for them, but somehow I find them a bit bland at present.

The Texans [Trey and Lexi] went through the whole thing saying, "Oh, we're the great American kids and we're Christians and we're this and we're that" -- their true colors come out this season.

I like to point out that one of the Christian ten commandments is thou shall not steal.

I don't think we should blame it on them because

1/They didn't steal the money.
2/Twinnies are actually the ones who fought that money. It's not like the Sri Lankan sisters would've returned it to the rockers if the Taxes had disagreed with them.

Exclusive: Trey Wier and Alexis "Lexi" Beerman talk 'The Amazing Race' (Part 1)
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 12/11/2012

"Dating Couple" Trey Wier and Alexis "Lexi" Beerman finished The Amazing Race's 21st season in third place during Sunday night's two-hour finale broadcast of the CBS reality competition.

"Goat Farmers and Life Partners" Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Brent Ridge were crowned the champions when they were the first team to cross the finish line in New York, NY, ultimately claiming the $1 million grand prize.

"Chippendales Dancers and Best Friends" Jaymes Vaughan and James Davis finished second. "Twin Sisters" Natalie Anderson and Nadiya Anderson finished the Race in fourth place, as they had been eliminated just shy of making it to the Final 3. They had arrived at the eleventh leg's Pit Stop in Loire Valley, France, in last place.
 
In an exclusive interview on Monday, Trey and Lexi talked to Reality TV World about their The Amazing Race experience.

Below is the first half of Trey and Lexi's interview. Check back with Reality TV World soon for the concluding portion. Also, to read the first half of our interview with Josh and Brent, click here. The remaining portion of that interview, along with Natalie and Nadiya and Jaymes and James' interviews will also be published this week.

Reality TV World: What's the status of your relationship now? How are things going between you two?

Trey Wier: (Laughs) We're still doing great. We're still dating. We're not engaged yet.

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: (Laughs)

Trey Wier: I love Lexi more than anything in the world, and our plan is for the future, sooner than later, to get married. I want to be able to get her the ring that she deserves and be able to support us. So with football and all that, I haven't had time to get working. But I've got a good job now, so that's the plan for the future.

Reality TV World: How far behind Jaymes and James do you think you finally arrived at the final Pit Stop?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: It was like a good 40 minutes. (Laughs) It was awhile.

Reality TV World: So it sounds like when you left that final flag Roadblock task, you were pretty sure you were in third place, is that accurate?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Yes, it was.

Reality TV World: Was it a smooth ride to the Pit Stop at least for you guys? (Laughs)

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Oh yeah, super smooth. It wasn't that far from where we were, so that's why I knew. We had the best taxi driver. He waited all four-and-a-half hours for us. (Laughs)

Reality TV World: Oh that's how long the Roadblock took you guys?! Wow. I was just going to ask you about that.

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Yes, it took awhile!

Reality TV World: Lexi, what did you think was the most complicated part of that final flag Roadblock task for you, and looking back, do you think your emotions played a roll in how long it took you to finish it? Because obviously you had trouble remaining calm and focused, you know what I mean?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Oh yeah, I mean, my emotions completely took over. I think a big part of it was, throughout the entire Race, I had pretty much for the most part -- we had control over each of our challenges. It was like, if we couldn't move the bamboo fast enough or we couldn't figure out the time zones fast enough, it was on me.

But I felt like there was an advantage, just like travel-wise. The whole time we had raced each leg, the fact that we had never traveled before never hindered us, and it did in the very, very, very last challenge of The Amazing Race. And so, that was frustrating.

And the biggest part of why I felt my emotions took over was because Trey absolutely conquered the Houdini challenge. I mean, I have never been more proud of someone in my entire life. He has the biggest extreme fear of heights, and of course I make him go on The Amazing Race with me.

For him to conquer that fear and just dominate it -- even though it wasn't 100% percent why we didn't win The Amazing Race, I felt like it was on my shoulders and that pressure just kind of took over. And I think, yeah, it did have an effect. But I don't know, everything happens for a reason.

Reality TV World: So based upon what you're saying and how your mutual lack of travel experience definitely played a role in that final task, do both of you think that Trey, had you have done it, you might've done it faster or would it probably have taken you just as long if not longer? (Laughs)

Trey Wier: I think if I had done it, it would've taken us about six hours instead of what it took. I was so proud of Lexi. She's an all-star. She did the best she could. I couldn't be any more proud of her, honestly.

I mean, you know, she gave it her all the whole time, even when we knew that we were the last ones to leave, she still gave it her all just because she's a competitor. She doesn't give up. And I couldn't be any more happy.

Reality TV World: How much studying had you two done before that final leg or throughout the Race in general, because had you really anticipated there being a final memory challenge since there wasn't one last season of The Amazing Race?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Well, just seeing -- I've watched The Amazing Race since the very first season, so I wish you could see my journal of how many notes I took about what each of the people that checked us in -- what they wore and even just like their accents and that kind of stuff -- little things like that.

[But we] didn't pay attention to the "hello" and "goodbye," like how simple. That's just what everybody said in the world. It's so simple but it just got overlooked. I mean, when you jump on that mat, you're just so thankful to be there. (Laughs)

Reality TV World: That you're not listening, right? (Laughs)

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: Right! You are not listening to a single word. You're trying to catch your breath No. 1. When [The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan] says at the end, "And of course that means goodbye," I'm like, "Oh, that's so sweet of him to remind us" -- not even thinking that he was dropping hints the whole time. (Laughs)

Reality TV World: You guys finished in the Top 3 in the last seven legs of the Race, which is pretty impressive. Knowing how well you two had done, did it frustrate or surprise you that the winning team had never won a prior leg of the Race? Some viewers are arguing that Josh and Brent really didn't deserve to win because they just kept getting lucky, so what are your thoughts on all that? 

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: To be completely honest, it didn't really surprise me. The Amazing Race, it's anybody's game at any time. I mean, really every single leg, you're just fighting to stay in it. And there's some luck that plays into it. There's a lot of skill, but there's a lot of luck too. I mean, they kept fighting the whole time.

I mean, props to them. But really, every single leg of the Race, we had to remind ourselves -- even after winning three legs -- that it's anybody's game. I kept reminding Trey of that, because just watching previous seasons, it's not always like a race... So, we just tried to not stay complacent and I think not traveling actually helped us do that. But at the end, the traveling part did kind of bite us in the butt.

Reality TV World: It seemed pretty clear throughout the Race that Josh and Brent weren't seen as a threat. So could you explain why you didn't want to align with them instead of two strong teams in Nadiya and Natalie and Jaymes and James? Obviously disregarding the fact Josh and Brent ended up winning the Race, it seemed like a better strategic move at the time to keep them around, no?

Trey Wier: Yeah, I mean, our alliance wasn't really strategic as it was made out [to look]. It was a friendship that kind of turned into an alliance. I mean, we related with Natalie and Nadiya and the "Chippendales" so much that we just wanted to surround ourselves -- we weren't really all thinking about the money aspect as far as alliances.

The money took a backseat to the adventure we were all going through. We wanted to keep that adventure alive, so that's when our friendship had turned into an alliance, and we all just wanted to keep going. It wasn't really an alliance like, "Who's going to win the million dollars?" It was just to get us all to [having] that chance.

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: And to be perfectly honest, I mean, the whole strategic thing about getting [Abbie Ginsberg and Ryan Danz] off the Race, we wanted to Race with really good people.

The winner gets a large sum of money, and they were racing for $2 million. I can't even imagine if they were still on the Race how dirty things could've gotten. But we just wanted to race with really good people and that's what happened. I mean, we were -- I wouldn't have changed anything.

Reality TV World: Just to clarify a little bit, are you saying Abbie and Ryan weren't good people?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: I just felt like they were very, very, very competitive people. I would consider myself a very competitive person, but they take competitiveness to a different level -- to the point where they wouldn't even say "hi" to us in the airports.

I don't know. I just felt like it was unnecessary, in my opinion. Trey and I are nice people. We like talking to people. I don't know. They just were very hostile, and I understand that they were running for $2 million, but I don't feel like you need to be rude to -- I don't know. I just felt like they were burning unnecessary bridges, in my opinion.

Reality TV World: So it sounds like you targeted Abbie and Ryan mainly because of their personalities rather than because they were a threat or had the $2 million on the line when the rest of you didn't, right?

Alexis "Lexi" Beerman: It was definitely a combination of both. I wouldn't say it was just one or the other. They were very competitive, they were very strong, we always said that they were like our -- they've always called us like "their mini-me's," because we're basically a strong couple just 10 years younger.

But I mean, they were very, very strong in everything and we respected that. But when they started being hostile and stuff, I don't know. I just felt like, yes it's a race and everything, but you could still be nice, cordial people at the end of the day. (Laughs)

The Amazing Race 21: Exclusive Interview with Trey Wier and Lexi Beerman
Posted on 12/13/2012 by Gina in The Amazing Race and Cast Interviews

by Gina Scarpa

 

Texans Trey and Lexi were a force to be reckoned with this season on The Amazing Race. Aligned with Chippendales dances Jaymes and James, as well as twin sisters Natalie and Nadiya Anderson, they raced hard every leg and always had their eye on the finish line. They arrived at the pit stop first more than any other team, but were unable to make it to the finish line before the others on this week's finale. Though they finished in third, they say they wouldn't change anything and we talked to them today to learn more about their experience running The Amazing Race.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What was your motivation for going on The Amazing Race?

A. Lexi: I have been a fan of The Amazing Race since I was 13, which is when the very first episode aired. It has always been a dream of mine. When I met Trey, even though I loved him when I met him, I also saw a potential Amazing Race partner.

 

Q. GIna, RealityWanted: It's not always a good idea for couples to go on the show - it's very stressful, and they tend to fight a lot. You guys, however, were so patient and good to each other. Were you nervous about the stress of the race on your relationship at all?

A. Trey: We knew we were a strong couple going into it. We always wanna be positive and loving, no matter what. Life is as tough as it is. To have someone you can count on every day makes things more special. We struggled a little with arguing but it was such a positive experience for both of us. We love competing and we loved competing together.

A. Lexi: Another big part of it was that Trey and I had never left the country. We're away from our friends and family for 30 days and you really have to cling to each other. I don't know how couples fight with each other! I don't know, we clung to each other with all the unknown that the Amazing Race provides.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You formed a bond with Jaymes and James during that first leg in China, but when did you decide that you wanted to work with Natalie and Nadiya too?

A. Lexi: Honestly, when we were in the airport in the very first leg headed to Shanghai was when we met them. They're 25, and we're 23, so we were the youngest on the race. Being young and the fact that they were so well traveled and well cultured, and we were the complete opposite, was an immediate attraction. They took us under their wing. There was a bunch of unknowns and honestly, Natalie and Nadiya made the experience a lot less stressful or worrisome when it came to that part.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: The twins have taken a lot of heat this season for some of their actions, one of them being the money that they took from James and Abba. Do you regret being a part of that or do you feel like it was portrayed worse than it actually was?

A. Trey: The money situation was definitely portrayed in such a wrong light. We're such good people. We would never take anything. The money was left on the ground where everyone had passed through. When the girls picked up the money, we didn't know whose it was. People may think, "Oh of course it has to be James and Abba's". Amazing Race fans know you can't touch other people's things so we weren't penalized. We didn't know.

A. Lexi: I called Abba the next day after the episode aired and explained what happened because it probably caught him off guard. Even though it's The Amazing Race, for the most part, everything you see is exactly how it happened. Unfortunately in that episode, it was shown in a way that wasn't a hundred percent factual. After our conversation, he understood.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Other than China, the only other leg you had trouble with was in Bangladesh, and that was because of cab trouble. It must be incredibly frustrating when you fall to the bottom of the pack for reasons outside of your control.

A. Trey: That was definitely a tough day for us in Bangladesh. Our cab kept breaking down. I had the bus challenge I couldn't complete and everyone was killing it around me. That was a tough day. When our cab had trouble, we had nothing to do but try to stay positive. That's what we pride ourselves on. It's not going to help our situation to yell at our cab driver.

A. Lexi: He was doing the best he could. He was such a good person. You could tell in his eyes that he felt so bad. I think we read into his character and he really did help us the best he could.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Lexi, I can only imagine what was going through your mind in that language challenge, right before the finish line. How much pressure were you under?

A. Lexi: An extreme amount of pressure! After Trey absolutely dominated the Houdini challenge, I had never been so proud of someone. There were no words to describe that moment. He's terrified of heights, I can't even get him to go skydiving with me. For him to do it, and he did it in less than 3 minutes, it was insane! Knowing that he conquered his fear, I felt like I was the reason why we didn't win the race, even though I shouldn't have. It was hard. I was trying to think back and the reason I got China was because when I jumped on the mat, she said "Ni hao" and I thought she said, "Yeehaw" and I said, "Yeehaw" back! Those little things obviously didn't help enough. But we're so proud of how we performed as a couple and as a team. It made us ten thousand times stronger.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Trey, Lexi was talking about how she felt towards the very end but can you speak to how you felt about her as a partner throughout the race?

A. Trey: Lexi was a freakin' all star the whole race. She's a cheerleader and was able to cheer me on and I was honored to be able to cheer her on. Before I met her, The Amazing Race wasn't even on my radar. For her to share that with me and have me fall in love with it, I'm so blessed. She was a champ the whole time. She was so good at the challenges. I didn't ever wanna be scared, she gave me confidence. In the final challenge, it was so tough. I love her more than anything and to see her struggle, it made me wanna cry. I wouldn't change it for the world.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: I love the way, Lexi, you always not so subtly hinted that you were ready to take your relationship to the next level. What is the status right now?

A. Trey: I mean, we're still dating. We're not engaged yet! I told Lexi that I want to marry her. She's the woman of my dreams but I've been playing football the past four years in school and didn't have a job. I need to have a good job and want to buy her the ring she deserves. I don't wanna rush it, I want to be able to support her.

A. Lexi: I love it, I love it!

It seems to me that they still didn't have good explanation on what has happened and how the truth is different from what we have seen, in any way, I think they can't have any excuse for talking others money.

Pet peeve about your teammate: She talks too loud on the phone and she never puts things back where they belong.


We have heard her loud mouth! :cmaslol

I thought Lexi had a slightly annoying voice, but other than that, and the fact that they formed an alliance, I liked them.
