One Chicago teams who should be on The Amazing Race

3. Hank Voight and Alvin Olinsky, Chicago PD

Let’s get one thing straight: Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) and Alvin Olinsky (Elias Koteas) would never be on reality TV voluntarily. These are two guys who aren’t fond of the media, or their higher ups, or a lot of people. You could say they don’t play well with others. But if they could somehow be convinced to go along with the idea, you could also say they’d be the best part of The Amazing Race.

In several Amazing Race seasons, there’s the older team that’s on the show either to prove that they’re not that old, or because they want to see the world. Voight and Olinsky would be that team except they’ve got nothing to prove. They may be two of the older One Chicago characters but can run circles around people half their age. Just look at how Voight is always one step ahead of all his detectives. This season he and Olinsky figured out that Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) was Denny Woods’ mole before Ruzek had half a clue what was going on.

Voight and Olinsky would be fun as heck to watch as they’d bring their same “not really playing by the rules” approach we see every week on Chicago PD to The Amazing Race. We don’t think they’d win, though, because either Olinsky would just stop caring about what was happening or Voight would get them disqualified when he decided to put another team (or a terrible cab driver, or even just some random citizen who ticked him off) in their place.
