Last March, a local law firm administrator was reunited with an identical sister she knew nothing about. The newly connected pair then participated in CBS’ The Amazing Race. Sarah Little, of Showbiz Cheatsheet, was just the ticket to carry their story.

Sisters Emily Bushnell of Ardmore and Molly Sinert of Florida will comprise one of the 12 teams competing in the globetrotting CBS reality-travel series.

They will, as do the other contestants on The Amazing Race, rely heavily on each other. But that may be more challenging for them than the other connected pairs.

They only met just last year.

Bushnell and Sinert, learning of their familial bond, finally connected in person in March 2021.

The South Korean-born sisters found out about each other via a 23andMe DNA match. The specifics of how they were separated on different treks to the U.S. is unknown.

The news of an unmet sibling was highly emotional for Bushnell.

“A hole was immediately filled in my heart,” she said.

On The Amazing Race Season 34, Bushnell and Sinert competed in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Iceland, and Jordan. Its first episode is Sept. 21 on CBS.
