The Amazing Race

In The Amazing Race 22, Episode 7, teams get friendly with crocodiles in Botswana… but it’s okay because they get to play with cute baby goats as well. And dangle carrots in front of donkeys. Recap is here!

As the episode 6 title says, Joey conquers the scorpions… though after much freaking out. The seven teams go to Botswana in this leg of The Amazing Race Season 22, and they learn the ways of the Kalahari Bushmen. So cool! Check out my recap here.

The eight teams fly from Bali, Indonesia to Hanoi, Vietnam where they play some human Chinese Chess — like Wizards’ Chess!, the Harry Potter fan in me exclaims — and make some delicious-looking pho. YUM! Also, find out what happens to Dave and Connor, the former of whose physical condition has been deteriorating throughout the Race due to a torn Achilles tendon. Read my recap here!

In The Amazing Race Season 22, Episode 4, a frontrunning team shockingly ends up in the back of the pack. And depending on your point of view, another team shockingly ends up in first. Guess who? Check out my recap of the Bali, Indonesia adventures here.

The nine remaining teams in The Amazing Race Season 22 drive jet boats, speed through obstacle courses, and get covered with molasses — and feathers… and manure… — in New Zealand. Also, check out how a team member’s debilitating injury affects the team’s chances in the Race in my recap of Episode 3.

Missed the second episode of The Amazing Race 22 because you were watching the Oscars? Catch up on the adventures in Bora Bora with my recap here.

Well, the Amazing Race Season 21 is now over, and the final minutes of the finale episode actually gave me chills. (Why? I’ll explain in my recap; I don’t want to give anything away here!) The last task before the pit stop was an extremely difficult memory challenge that took teams more than two and a half hours to complete. Overall, what a phenomenal two hours of television and a phenomenal season overall. No wonder this show has won a gazillion Emmy awards; it’s the best. Love it.

This is the first half of the two-hour season finale, aka Episode 11, of The Amazing Race Season 21. This was also probably the best episode of the season. I’m going to post a recap of the second half, obviously; that’ll be up after it airs! Check out who the final three teams are here.
