‘The Amazing Race’: Are Javi Vintimilla & Erin Taylor Still Together?
Erin Taylor and Javi Vintimilla are off to a good start on The Amazing Race. They finished the first leg of the race in first place, which will put them in a good position as leg two begins on the October 1 episode.
However, Erin and Javi already used their Express Pass to get ahead of the pack in Episode 1, so they’ll have no crutch to fall back on as they continue making their way around the world. Already, we’ve seen some cracks in the pair’s relationship, with Erin snapping at her husband as they completed the first Detour challenge of the season.
The couple admitted that they came to the race to work on their communication skills and strengthen their relationship. It’s now been nearly a year since they filmed the show, and below, you can find out more about where they stand today.
