Bay Ridge brothers competing on 'Amazing Race' after years of rejections, training, studying: 'Surreal'
Briefly

Brothers Nick and Mike Fiorito are competing in the 37th season of 'The Amazing Race,' fulfilling a dream they held since childhood. After nearly a decade of training and submitting multiple audition tapes, the duo was finally cast in the popular CBS show. They've faced challenges such as the 'Intersection' task in which Mike partnered with a stranger, but their Brooklyn pride drives them forward. Despite the mental and physical demands of the show, the brothers are excited for the competition and the possibility of winning the $1 million prize.
"It's surreal," Mike said. "It was a lifelong dream come true. We're still pinching ourselves about it."
The producers were probably sick of us and just saw that we were relentless and kept coming back after every 'no' that we got," Nick joked.
The show is renowned for being mentally and physically exhausting, but the pair were primed for the toll - they spent nearly a decade training and studying for their shot at the $1 million prize.
