LUCY & EMILIA, Sydney sisters, strong Italian heritage

THEY live together, work together as teachers at the same school and have recently taken up training together at the gym.

Lucy, 36 and Emilia, 30, have come into the Race after a particularly tough year.

They’ve been nursing their mother through her battle with cancer but with the encouragement of their mum they entered the Race.

“She knows this has been our dream forever. It’s made us more determined. Basically, we’re still here for fun, but I also think that we’re here to do it really properly,” Emilia said.

Lucy & Emilia (NSW) Official TARAUS Website Bio

Larger-than-life Sydney sisters with a strong Italian heritage, Lucy and Emilia do everything together.

They live together at home with their mum, work together as teachers at the same school, and have recently taken up training together at the gym.

“It’s more for the perve factor than anything else. We go together as much as we can,” says older sister Lucy, 36.

It was she who gave younger sister Emilia, 30, the nickname “Wog Barbie” when they were growing up. “You know, big hair. Loves dressing up. And we’re wogs, obviously,” Lucy laughs.

Emilia adds, “I guess we do have quite a few of those classic Italian traits. We’re passionate, we talk with our hands, we talk a lot, we cry a lot, we laugh a lot!”

“And loudly!” Lucy continues. “All moments with Emilia are memorable. She is hilarious!”

Lucy and Emilia have come into the race after a particularly tough year.

They’ve been nursing their beloved mother through her battle with cancer – the same disease which claimed their father’s life when they were just children. Their mum encouraged them to go on the race.

“She knows this has been our dream forever. I think it’s made us more determined. Basically we’re still here for fun, but I also think that we’re here to do it really properly.”

Emilia says, “If our 67-year-old Mum can survive chemo then we can do just about anything. She’s our motivation. After what’s happened I’m in it to win it.”

Very nice team!! I like them
I really wish we could stay longer in the countries we visit, but I've been lucky to have visited most of them before, because I've done a tremendous amount of travel. - Phil Keoghan

Mum inspiration for Amazing Race sisters

IT WAS only right that sisters Lucy and Emilia Pelosi entered Channel 7's reality series The Amazing Race Australia together.

The bubbly pair, who both work as teachers and live together at Kogarah Bay, are used to each other's company and knew they wouldn't mind chasing the $250,000 prize around the world.

Lucy 36, and Emilia, 31, think Australia will see them as the "underdogs" when the second season airs next week.

"We didn't take things too seriously and just had fun with it," Emilia said of their time on the show filmed late last year.

"We struggled with some of the physical challenges so most teams didn't see us as a threat. But we really were trying hard."

The show sees 11 teams of two compete in challenges around the world until one duo takes the $250,000 grand prize.

Teams this season travelled more than 65,000 kilometres across four continents, performing a range of challenges testing their stamina and personal relationships.

The sisters were chosen for the first season but pulled out the day before they were due to leave when their mum was diagnosed with cancer.

Emilia said their mum, who went through chemotherapy, was their motivation to enter the second season.

"She knows this has been our dream forever. I think it's made us more determined," Emilia said.

The pair both speak Italian, thanks to their heritage, and French, which they said helped them along the way.

While Emilia hadn't previously been to any of the countries they visited during filming, the both thought they would head back to some of the places.

"The good thing about the race was that we could experience different places that we wouldn't normally choose," Lucy said.

The Amazing Race Australia airs on Channel 7 at 9pm Wednesday, May 30.

Interesting. But who would they have been replaced by? Somehow I doubt Big W (who are probably the most likely option) were a last-minute replacement team.

I recall reading somewhere that Anne-Marie & Tracy were the first teams selected to be on the first season. :)

Lucy & Emilia seem like such great people. I'll be rooting them on! :hoot:

Good sense of humor, bad sense of judgment sometimes.
Still I liked watching them and their dry comments, especially on the Indian handsome men smiling at them.  :lol:
'You had a wrong turban, you shouldn't have been smiling..'  :lol:
Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. :)

Arguably the most entertaining team, it was lucky for this season that they survived again.
