The siblings had a bumpy beginning in the first episode. They got lost on the way to their first clue and then had trouble maneuvering their car in a narrow alley.

Maya and Rohan remained surprisingly calm despite facing challenges.

Maya explained, "I realized that getting too upset would only make things worse. We decided to stay calm and work together to find a solution."

Maya and Rohan successfully navigated their way out of the alley after a challenging 80-point turn, taking about 20 minutes to complete the task. In the Wednesday, March 13 episode, they tackled a memory challenge with luchadores and a roadblock where Rohan had to jump through spinning lasso loops while keeping a wide-brimmed hat on his head.

Despite their strong performance in the challenges, Maya and Rohan were unable to recover from the time lost while searching for the first clue. As a result, Phil, 56, made the tough decision to eliminate them at the season's first pit stop.
