Danny Jimenez ran The Amazing Race 2 with his friend Oswald. The team finished fourth on the race, but ran a very unique race, baffling the other teams.
After the race, the two were asked to return to run The Amazing Race All-Stars and they gladly accepted. Once again, after charming their way through the race, the team finished at the same fourth place.
The team did the funniest thing ever on The Amazing Race:
They went shopping at GUCCI and LOEWE in Hong Kong, while waiting for a travel agent to organise their tickets.
Oswald & Danny are and remain to be one of the fan-favourite teams on The Amazing Race.moreless

ADD QUOTES-
Danny: (in an interview regarding using the Yield on The Amazing Race 11) I agree with you. I don't think it was bad karma. I think it was a good decision and one that we needed to do; we needed the money. I think we just got caught up in the moment. I mean we are responsible for our actions and I think that we do look at our families when we are out there doing things. You know, you do represent your families when you're out there. We were very careful not to do anything that would go against what we've been taught.
-
Danny: (regarding what he'd like his fans to know): There is a foundation that was set up in memory of my late partner Nelson called The Nelson Benedico Trust and I will soon be promoting it and developing more projects to benefit organizations that have programs for people living with AIDS.
