We’re back and your host, much like the teams, is a hot mess. Rossi, Jarrod, and Kristan sit down to chat about the exhilarating episode 3 of The Amazing Race 36. We chat about how let down we are by the production of the season, praise the early tower challenge and how it affected the rest of the leg, and dive into the emergent backpack strategy. We celebrate how great the cast is despite the season flaws, admire the editing of Anthony and Bailey during the detour, and question why Juan and Shane are risking their lives for 4th place.
