Joe Baldassare and Bill Bartek aka "Team Guido," the avid adventurers from Season 1, return for another attempt at the $1 million prize. Claiming they've had their bags packed since they returned home from the first season, they are ready to go! Admittedly, one of the most conniving teams in the history of Race, "Team Guido" were the masters of the old-school strategy and successfully outplayed most of their former competitors. Although Joe Baldassare has done really well for himself professionally, his reason for returning to Race is to win so that he and Bill Bartek can retire and never have to work again. Joe Baldassare describes himself as loyal, intelligent and responsible. Joe Baldassare also claims that the biggest difference between Bill Bartek and himself is that he saves more money while Bill Bartek is a spender. Bill Bartek on the other hand describes himself as meticulous and upbeat, claiming that his biggest fear is heights and looking terrible on national television. After 20 years, Bill Bartek and Joe Baldassare remain committed and enjoy life to the fullest. One question remains though... After being away from the game for so long, do they have what it takes to compete against the best racers of all time?
