This article focuses on the interactions between Carrie and Devin.
Overview[]
Carrie and Devin enter the race as best friends…
Carrie and Devin have been friends since childhood, meeting each other during their pre-school years. As they grow older, Carrie starts to develop romantic feelings for her longtime companion, wishing for their relationship to evolve beyond friendship. The pair join the Ridonculous Race and are dubbed "The Best Friends." Devin is completely unaware of his friend's feelings for him during the Race, despite how apparent they may be. Furthermore, Devin discloses that he is currently in a relationship with a girl named Shelley, who was initially supposed to be his partner for the Race but was unavailable, causing jealousy in Carrie.
…but they leave as lovers.
Devin eventually finds out, through a phone conversation, that Shelley has dumped him for her tennis instructor. This unexpected revelation sends Devin into a phase of emotional ups and downs, which Spud refers to as "The Seven Stages of Heartbreak" for multiple episodes. Carrie helps Devin to go through these stages in the hopes that he will eventually move on from Shelley. However, Carrie grows impatient with him as he continues to be oblivious and chooses to concentrate on the Race instead. In a twist of irony, Devin finally recognizes his feelings for Carrie during this period, resulting in a reversal of their roles. The unrequited love drama lasted until near the finale, where they finally confess their feelings to each other. Unfortunately, fortune does not favor them entirely, as Devin sustains an injury in the same episode and is rendered unable to continue competing. Consequently, they are compelled to withdraw from the competition.

Devin initially succumbs to his fear of heights, until Carrie manages to motivate him.

She dreamily looks at Devin as he swallows the stew, before looking at the camera and blushing as she admits she loves Devin, and has loved him since they were four. She doesn't know how to tell him after all this time, and worries he won't feel the same way, especially since he already has a girlfriend. The Best Friends quickly take first place. After Carrie trips, Devin picks her up and holds her in his arms as they run to the Chill Zone, where they're congratulated by Don for coming in first. Devin talks about how he knew they'd be a great team, but he wasn’t expecting to make it in first place.

On flight number one, Carrie and Devin share a bag of chips. When Carrie draws Devin, she draws him based on her daydreams of him. When her caricature is rejected, Devin defends her since she got an A in art, but comes to the conclusion that it may be too realistic.

Carrie starts telling Devin that she's glad they’re here together, and he agrees. He says that he's glad he chose to do the race with her instead of Shelley since they'd probably argue just like Ryan and Stephanie.

Trivia[]
- This is the only team in Ridonculous Race to be eliminated other than coming in last place of a leg. In their case, they were removed from the Race in Last Tango in Buenos Aires due to Devin's injuries. Their elimination is also unique as they are the second-to-last team to reach the Chill Zone and the episode taking place in a non-elimination episode.
