It’s been four days since I watched this last Amazing Race episode, and I have not cooled off. In fact, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. Amidst a live double u-turn, maybe the softest coming in last speed bump in the history of the show and multiple challenges that were way too easy, the frontrunners to win the season went home. The remaining contestants hooped and hollered on the map like it was some great victory, but judging by the fan reaction on social media, it certainly didn’t feel like a win for viewers or fairness.
I’m going to get into hyper specifics about episode 9 “I’m Not A Big Fan Of Olives,” which, by the way, should have been called “You’re Gonna Run Over A Turtle!” If you haven’t watched yet, bail out because there will be spoilers.
