Meanwhile, Harley said her brother taught her to be honest about how she feels.
She said: “I think Roman has taught me the art of being honest about my feelings.
“I think I’ve always been upbeat. And I think because Roman is able to convey how he feels all the time, I weirdly felt like, ‘Oh, it’s not a weakness’.

After 33 days, the pair face their fellow competitors for the final leg of the race in Thursday’s final to be the first to make it through the finish line on the remote Peninsula de la Guajira in Colombia – the gateway to South America.

“My biggest challenge is my own personality, but at the same time that’s my biggest asset. So a blessing and a curse.
“I would do the whole thing again, definitely with my dad.
“Just getting to know each other, spending quality time together. Even with all the pressure, in a way, that’s what makes it — just spending time. Timing is everything, right?”
