“Big Brother” contestants Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf won “The Amazing Race” on Feb. 21. In a post-victory interview they revealed their plans for the one million dollar prize and reflected on the race. Talking to host Phil Keoghan, Graf readily admitted that they saw the “Race” as “their redemption project.” Watch the whole interview above.
The couple met last summer during “Big Brother 19.” Graf rubbed many of her rival houseguests the wrong way. She won the Halting Hex early in the game before being evicted. Nickson soon followed but this ex-Marine did pick up the consolation prize of “America’s Favorite Houseguest.”
