Barney (40) and Shovelie (15): The Hobos.

Barney is a homeless man who's been living on the streets of Ontario for 20 years. He wears a brown toque, a black hooded jacket over a red sweater, faded and tattered jeans, and old black boots. He has long, dark brown hair with a matching, scraggly beard. Despite life dealing him a crappy hand, Barney is still unbelievably positive, and joined the race to fulfill a lifelong dream of travelling the world. He has no sense of wrong, and will put his trust into absolutely anyone, which isn't always a good thing. Meanwhile, his best friend Shovelie is wise and sarcastic, and acts as Barney's conscience. Oh yeah, and he's just a shovel that Barney drew a smiley face on. Barney is the only one who can talk to Shovelie, with Barney sharing his best friend's advice with the other teams.

Intelligence: 2 (Shovelie is probably the smarter of the two)

Athleticism: 8 (Shovelie is made of iron, and Barney can do some heavy lifting)

Luck: 4 (Shovelie has an uncanny ability to somehow complete challenges through arbitrary circumstances)

Karma: 6 (They're nice guys)
