Joe Baldassare and Bill Bartek, Lifestyle Partners from Laguna Niguel, California were nicknamed "Team Guido" in honour of Baldassar's fox terrier. The pair finished in third place, for which they received $10,000. Team Guido were portrayed as the villians of the episode, and were unpopular with fans of the series and fellow racers.Baldassare is the owner of a minerals trading company and Bartek works as a realtor. Baldassare graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1967.
They were later brought back for Allstars edition, and will be the oldest team on that series.

Following their elimination from the Race they participated in interviews on CBS Early Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Pure Oxygen, and have done over 20 radio and newspaper interviews. They are represented by the William Morris talent agency. They later created their own travel adventure show on the Discovery Channel called Kevin And Drew Unleashed which they describe as being similar to a male version of The Simple Life. The three-part show involves the pair competing over the completion of various "tough jobs".
The pair made a cameo appearance on The Amazing Race: Family Edition in 2006, handing race clues to the teams on the first episode of the show. In 2007 they became the first team to appear on three series of the Amazing Race, when they competed on the Allstars edition of the show.

After the win, the two took a year off and made personal appearances around the United States, which added to their winnings.Frisbee, a 1995 graduate of University of Arizona and Business College Graduate of the Year worked as a model to pay for his law degree from Harvard University..
