Season 16 Finale Introduction
00:00:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Hello, welcome to the Amazing Rewatch, and welcome to the finale episode of Season 16. We have finally made it through season 16. Yeah.
00:00:20
The Amazing Rewatch
It's been a long month, but it's been a good season, so we're excited to get into it. And it was good finale. And, yeah.
00:00:30
The Amazing Rewatch
It aired May... I just had it... Where'd go?
Teams Depart for San Francisco
00:00:35
The Amazing Rewatch
May 9th, 2010. Nice. two thousand And... ten please and Yeah, i We'll talk about it at the end, actually.
00:00:44
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Let's begin. we We left the end of Last Leg in China. No, we left off. Not we left. In China, in Shanghai.
00:00:57
The Amazing Rewatch
And...
00:00:58
The Amazing Rewatch
um Why can I not find the first page of mine?
00:01:03
The Amazing Rewatch
you you you are You talk. Well, Brent and Katie were the first to check in... at the last pit stop. So they are departing at 2.37 a.m. m And the clue says, fly over 6,000 miles to the city of San Francisco, California.
00:01:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Once there, make your way to Battery Godfrey, which is a military outpost overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge to find the next clue. And then Jet and Cord depart at 3.11 and Dan and Jordan at 6 o'clock.
00:01:33
The Amazing Rewatch
So it's a pretty big time difference. Yeah, it's a big What was the last thing that they did? um Well, there was that they started off so behind because they like waited for Louis and Michael to leave. Oh, that's right. The pit start and couldn't find that bridge.
00:01:52
The Amazing Rewatch
And yeah, so it was kind of a weird leg, the last leg. but um And they find out that they go to the airport, at the Shanghai airport.
00:02:03
The Amazing Rewatch
And they see there's a marked ticket counter for like those three teams specifically. And it doesn't open till 1045.
Airport Tensions and Strategies
00:02:13
The Amazing Rewatch
So that's like a long time to wait. Yeah. um When Dan and Jordan walk into the airport, they, at that point, Brent and Katie and Jet and Court have been there for a couple hours, a few hours. And they're just kind of lounging around.
00:02:30
The Amazing Rewatch
And they're, I mean, I think they're kind of like Brent and Katie are right up against the ticket counter. And then Cord was laying like a little, you know, a few feet away from Brent and Katie.
00:02:41
The Amazing Rewatch
and Clearly depicting that he was in line. Yeah. And had gotten there hours before. Yeah. But Jordan puts his backpack down like.
00:02:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Between them. Between them. And. He says, when we got to the airport, I put my backpack behind Brent and Katie's backpack. So I thought we were second in line. Which was very weird. Why would you think that?
00:03:03
The Amazing Rewatch
And so when the ticket counter finally opened up, the brothers were standing in front of the cowboys. And. Well, just Jordan.
00:03:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And was standing behind them. just It was just Jordan in front of them. And. Yeah. And they're like, what do you think you're doing? Do you think you're second in line? And he was like, well, I had my bag right behind Katie's bag.
00:03:27
The Amazing Rewatch
So that makes behind Katie. And they're like, wow. Okay, well, if that's how you want to play the game, you know, stuff like that. And they were like, talking about like beating him up kind of. yeah i mean.
00:03:44
The Amazing Rewatch
They weren't talking to Jordan, but they were talking to each other about him clearly so that he could hear. And they're like, what are you thinking, Jet?
00:03:55
The Amazing Rewatch
I think I can't grab his backpack and throw him across the airport I'd get in trouble. Yeah. And then Jordan says, you can hate the game, just don't hate the player.
00:04:06
The Amazing Rewatch
but That's not the game. It's the opposite. You can hate the player, but don't hate the game, i would say. Like, the game is not to be shady like that. Yeah.
00:04:18
The Amazing Rewatch
You're the player that chose to do that. Anyway, so this whole season, haven't really had a problem with Dan and Jordan. There was, like, that point last episode where Dan got so, like, upset with his cab driver. Oh, yeah. was not very nice to him.
00:04:34
The Amazing Rewatch
But I really did not like this. That was so shady. And also... The way that this leg starts out with them having a marked ticket counter and obviously having all the teams on the same flight.
00:04:53
The Amazing Rewatch
There's no point in doing that. Yeah, like why put a target on your back yeah for that? Well, I have actually – have so many windows open and I like looked at a bunch of Reddit stuff and like old interviews and – I guess they were all because, okay, so we see Brent and Katie, they're first in line and they say we want like the closest flights or the closest seats to the front of the plane. And the person's like, yeah, you're, you're close to the front.
00:05:19
The Amazing Rewatch
So it sounds like they were all on a flight, but then the flight, they, they all had to be changed to a different flight and they were all sitting in the very, very back, like three rows in a row in the very back.
00:05:33
The Amazing Rewatch
So really it all doesn't even matter. Yeah, and like, it was not like, get to the airport and find your own ticket. It was to find a marked counter that you're obviously going to just be given like a ticket.
00:05:46
The Amazing Rewatch
So, but I could see like, yes, you could get an advantage of sitting closer to the front or whatever, but not ah to a point where you're just like a slime ball.
00:05:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, that is not, like, don't do that. Yeah. That's so, I don't like that. Anyways, so.
Exploring San Francisco's History
00:06:04
The Amazing Rewatch
On this flight, Dan talks to a stewardess and asks them if they can move up to first class.
00:06:12
The Amazing Rewatch
And they let her. They let them. And this is what does make a difference. Yeah. And they said, so now we'll be the first out. And so when the flight lands, Dan and Jordan and get into a taxi.
00:06:23
The Amazing Rewatch
It seems like even before the other two teams get off the plane. Yeah. the way yeah The timing... is edited to look like that. So, and they they could have done that without doing the thing that they did in the airport. Yeah.
00:06:38
The Amazing Rewatch
And so yeah, I did not like that. So, and we have heard from teams that we've interviewed now that they don't do that anymore. Like, They hold everybody in the airport after until ah until after everybody gets through customs and immigration and stuff.
00:06:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And then let them go, which I think is so much better because then people aren't – can you imagine how annoying people would would have been back in the past seasons? Like, oh, can I sit in first class? Can I sit on first class? Can I get off the plane first? Yeah. Oh, let me cut you so that I can get through this faster. like Yeah. Like, they were probably so annoying.
00:07:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So it's good the way they do it now. Yeah. So let me just get to this clue first at this um battery park place um in San Francisco. so What is a battery?
00:07:23
The Amazing Rewatch
And what is Presidio? think it's like the area. like Do you have that in your information about San Francisco? um Because I feel like a lot of these clues are kind of in the same area, in the Presidio area. And I've been to San Francisco a few times and I know...
00:07:40
The Amazing Rewatch
I like know the area, but yeah I just don't know what that means. So Presidio is, it's just like a park and a former U.S. Army post at the tip of San Francisco Peninsula. Okay.
00:07:53
The Amazing Rewatch
Part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. of the It's the Presidio. So it's just like an area close to the Golden Gate Bridge, which we we've been here to this one specifically.
00:08:06
The Amazing Rewatch
this? To this like spot. Oh, we have? Yeah. Yeah. we When we went... And there's like a picture of me and you. Oh, we have been. thought you meant on the race. Oh.
00:08:18
The Amazing Rewatch
No, yeah, yeah. We've been there before. We have been to... san francisco twice on the race now we were in san francisco season two that was like the that was tara and will and the race to the yeah like the closest finish line they've ever had like the literal race with chris and alex one and then season 11 and then season 16 okay and then season sixteen okay And um so we've given some information about San Francisco before, but it's a commercial, financial, and cultural center in Northern California with a population of 827,000 residents in the city proper. It's the fourth most populous city in the United States and the 17th, fourth most populous city in the state of California.
00:09:14
The Amazing Rewatch
and 17th most populous in the United States.
00:09:19
The Amazing Rewatch
um San Francisco is ranked second by population density, first by income per capita,
00:09:29
The Amazing Rewatch
um and the metropolitan area is home to four point six 4.6 to 9.2 million residents. That's a big range. That's a big range. So i don't know.
00:09:44
The Amazing Rewatch
um In 1776, settlers from New Spain established Presidio of San Francisco at the Golden Gate, which is like the strait of that the Golden Gate Bridge spans. It's like the area, the strait of water that you can go through.
00:10:01
The Amazing Rewatch
It's called the Golden Gate. And the mission of San Francisco was established there. and um In World War two it was major port of and embarkation for naval service members, shipping out to the Pacific Theater.
00:10:16
The Amazing Rewatch
After the war and the returning of servicemen and significant immigration, um there was a rise of liberalized attitudes and hippie countercultures and sexual revolution and opposition to the involvement in the Vietnam War and there was like the summer of love and gay rights and liberal activism is what the city is known for um a few interesting facts the golden gate bridge was originally supposed to be painted black and yellow but
00:10:49
The Amazing Rewatch
um they decided not to because like the golden gate color could cut through san francisco's fog Isn't the color, it's like international orange or something. There's like a color. i don't know. I'll look it up.
00:11:04
The Amazing Rewatch
um San Francisco's cable, like, so San Francisco is known for having lots of hills. There's cable cars that will go up the hills. And they were invented to stop horses sliding to their deaths.
00:11:17
The Amazing Rewatch
um the cupb The cable car system was developed after... horses would die on wet cobblestones like they would just like slip and fall yeah those hills are so steep yeah um the fortune cookie was made there Two Jewish immigrants invented Levi's jeans in San Francisco during the gold rush.
00:11:40
The Amazing Rewatch
And, um, the town was named Yerba Buena originally by the Spanish table settlers, which means good herbs.
00:11:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, But then it was named to San Francisco after the San Francisco mission that was made there. San Francisco's fog appears so regularly it has its own name in social media accounts.
00:12:06
The Amazing Rewatch
We've talked about this one. Gary. Carl. Carl. Yes. Close. um Alcatraz is there. and There's lots of like fine arts and museums.
00:12:20
The Amazing Rewatch
And...
00:12:22
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:12:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Have you been to the Walt Disney Family Museum there? maybe We might have already talked about this too. I haven't. I loved it so much. Yeah. it was so me and Jeff went on a cruise that stopped. It was just like a California coast cruise and we stopped in San Francisco.
00:12:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And we went to that museum for the day. Hmm. so That would be really interesting. And we rode bikes. We tried to get e-bikes, but we didn't. And I wish we would have because was further than we thought it was going to be. But yeah, it was a really cool museum if you're a Disney fan.
00:13:00
The Amazing Rewatch
you so San Francisco has um a lot of like economic activity. There's a lot of universities and tech and healthcare care and finance and um real estate going on here. 2022, San Francisco had more than 1.7 million international visitors and approximately 20 million domestic ones.
00:13:22
The Amazing Rewatch
um There's... Two major league sports teams, the Giants and the Warriors, play their games within San Francisco. And the 49ers are the San Francisco 49ers, but they don't play in San Francisco.
00:13:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Their new stadium is outside of town. That is kind of a part of this leg. The old stadium.
00:13:48
The Amazing Rewatch
Not kind of. It is a huge part of this leg. Yeah. But we'll get up to that part at the end. So, yeah. um San Francisco, i haven't been there. i've been there, i mean, last time I was there i think 2017 or 18.
00:14:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And so was quite a while ago. Yeah. So, need to go back. back. there 22 or 23? And then i think the time before that was when we went as a family and that was in 2013.
00:14:18
The Amazing Rewatch
because it was right before me and jeff got engaged he wasn't invited yeah
00:14:24
The Amazing Rewatch
um yeah international orange is the color interesting that's a good like trivia yeah you know what color is the golden gate bridge yeah because you it looks red orange but it's orange yeah international orange yeah
00:14:39
The Amazing Rewatch
And people would think that it's called the Golden Gate Bridge because the color is kind of golden, but it's not. It's because it crosses the Golden Gate. Yes. That's the name of the body of water. Yeah.
00:14:51
The Amazing Rewatch
It has a like a mock-up of what it would have looked like if it was... Black and yellow? Black and yellow. Like stripes. It's ugly. It looks way better in orange. Yeah.
00:15:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Just when i when I Googled what color is the Golden Gate Bridge, that's like one of the images that shows up and the very like in the search.
00:15:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Well, so yes, the clue that Dan and Jordan get at this, what is it, Battery Godfrey? it says, solve this riddle.
00:15:21
The Amazing Rewatch
I was built in 1933. I'm 210 feet tall. My insides are lined with murals painted by 26 different artists. What am i And then there's a typo.
00:15:33
The Amazing Rewatch
I paused it and I typed what the clue, like the paper inside the clue said. And it says, When you know, go to me to and search for your next clue.
00:16:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah,
00:16:05
The Amazing Rewatch
it was built 1933. Yeah.
00:16:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, it's on the national register of historical places. It's an art deco style made out of concrete. um so soften it it's often stated that the structure was dedicated to the volunteer firemen who had died in San Francisco's five major fires but that's not accurate the tower was constructed as a result of a bequest by Lily Hitchcock Coit whose will included two bequests one to create a memorial to the city's volunteer firefighters which was done by a statue in Washington Square and the other to beautify the city
00:16:44
The Amazing Rewatch
So it's just to beautify the city.
00:16:46
The Amazing Rewatch
I mean, I guess it is kind of cool, but it's not like yeah the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. No. It is kind of cool, like up there on the hill. the The, what would be, the topography of San Francisco is very interesting with just like the hills, but it goes right into the ocean and, yeah, yeah like how the bay is and...
00:17:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, and a lot of, well, some of the land that the city is built on is like land they've built out. It's fake land, yeah. um This one fact,
00:17:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Over 60 abandoned ships are underneath downtown San Francisco. Interesting. The ships came like during the gold rush and they used them as part of like... The structure? Yeah. the To underneath, which is weird to think like these hundreds of years old pieces of wood are holding up the city. up this huge city? Yeah.
00:17:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. You know, ah people are really smart to be able to figure out how to make that work. Yeah. Well, so they head to Coit Tower.
Taxi Troubles and Team Tensions
00:18:00
The Amazing Rewatch
They asked somebody riding a bike. Yeah. And he knew exactly. They're like chasing him as he's riding the bike. Yeah. It was like a building built in 1933, 210 stories with murals. Not 10 stories. 210 feet tall. 210 feet. Yeah. be like the tallest building in the world.
00:18:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And knew exactly. he's like, quite tower Yeah. And they were like, people who ride bicycles are smart. It's the general rule. Yeah. um so then then get to. okay.
00:18:31
The Amazing Rewatch
So the other teams are getting their cabs and going to this Presidio area to get the first clue. And Brett and Katie get a driver that doesn't speak very English very well. Mm-hmm.
00:18:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And they are not happy about that. But instead of like getting out and getting a different driver, they just continue to yell at him and talk to him so rude and belittle him. and I call him a dummy like 10 times. To his face. Yeah.
00:18:59
The Amazing Rewatch
And just yell. i was so annoyed with that. It's like Katie wanted to come on this race to prove that she was smart. Yeah. And maybe she's done that, but she's not proving to be very kind.
00:19:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Nope. And I don't like that. No. I'd rather be kind than smart. I'd rather be both, but I had to choose one. They um are in like the Presidio Park area, but they haven't seen like the battery...
00:19:26
The Amazing Rewatch
godfrey like specific section of the park or something like that and so they stop they pull over and there's a big map of the area they get out and they're looking at it and as they're out looking at it the the cowboys drive past them yeah and they get to the right spot and get the map and get the clue and head over to the quake tower but this is like another point where and brent and katie get back in their car and they're yelling and he's yelling or he's like just shut up shut up and just look and like he tells her shut up a lot on this leg yeah you're making it worse this yeah they're yelling at each other as much as they're yelling at the cab driver yeah we're losing because of this dumb ass why would you that to anyone ever a national tb or and they obviously don't care because they say it a lot over and over
00:20:15
The Amazing Rewatch
But I'm interested to see what happens to them at the end of the like after the end of the episode when you give us like updates of everybody. i would doubt that they have stayed together because this episode specifically showed that like if it was me like Brent cannot handle difficult situations.
00:20:36
The Amazing Rewatch
He immediately turns mean and negative and uses really mean words. Yeah. And she immediately gets, like, upset as well. Like, they just can't handle difficult situations together. Yeah.
00:20:52
The Amazing Rewatch
And it seems like throughout this season, they've had... They haven't had a lot of times where they've been, like, in the bottom. And have haven't had, like, a lot of times where they've turned on each other like this. But they've had... They have enough.
00:21:04
The Amazing Rewatch
But, like, this episode specifically, they just... Yeah. Not nice to anyone. Each other, other people. um So when ah the Cowboys get their clue and they read it and they know where to look because when they were in the Shanghai airport, they bought a book that says
Race Against the Cowboys at Coit Tower
00:21:24
The Amazing Rewatch
the smart person's guide to San Francisco.
00:21:28
The Amazing Rewatch
and they looked it up and found it right away and like like they had read it seemed like they had read it maybe on the plane just like looked through it and Cord was like I remember yeah this being in here opened the page and showed their driver and wait right there So that was a good, um i mean, it helped him get caught up a little bit. But Dan and Jordan do arrive at the Coit Tower, and it's a roadblock.
00:21:52
The Amazing Rewatch
It says, using a mechanical ascender, they must make a 120-foot completely vertical climb to the tower's archways at the top. Grab the clue and be lowered back down to the ground.
00:22:03
The Amazing Rewatch
So Dan is the one that's doing this. Okay. And he is up at the top, basically, when the cowboys arrive. And Cord is going to do the roadblock. But by the time he gets, like, all of his equipment on and, and like, hooked up and everything, Dan is back down at the bottom.
00:22:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, because it doesn't take long to come down. No. So, they dan and ah Jordan leave. Cord does the roadblock. And, like, as Dan and Jordan are driving away, they're like, I mean, he's physically fit. He'll be able to do that as faster, if not faster, than we were able to do it. So, we got to hurry.
00:22:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Also, when they're leaving, jet and Cord say bye to them and they don't say anything back. It's like, but you guys were the ones to cause the problem in the first place. Yeah. Yeah. um So, yeah, they, when they get down, that clue says, um find the statue of Yoda located outside of Lucasfilm Studios, which seems to be in the same
Lucasfilm Challenge
00:23:04
The Amazing Rewatch
neighborhood. Yeah.
00:23:05
The Amazing Rewatch
and And Jordan says bro like 100 times. I think that's so weird. Good job, bro. Good job, bro. Bro. Like I've never called you sis in my entire life.
00:23:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Hey, sis. Olivia calls me bro. Well, they say bruh. Bruh. I know. well She says bruh all the time now. I'm like, oh my gosh. She also was walking around the house the other day and she was saying, skibbity, skibbity, skibbity, toilet. Skibbity, toilet. I don't understand.
00:23:35
The Amazing Rewatch
And they've been into the six, seven. she hasn't done that one yet. Well, she's going to learn it from my kids. So just you wait. Because my kids say it all the time. There was something...
00:23:46
The Amazing Rewatch
It was on our um our skylight calendar. It was an activity that we had that was from 6 to 7. And they were they like, 6, 7. seven Oh, my gosh. I'm like, what does that mean? They're like, we don't know.
00:23:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, does anybody know? I think the point of it is that it means that nothing. It means nothing. Yeah. I don't know. I'm like, you're in kindergarten. And she's like learning all the slang. But when she says bruh to me, it's so funny.
00:24:13
The Amazing Rewatch
have to tell you one other thing that she said to me tonight. We were going to bed and she's like, mom, will you tell me a story? And I was like going to get ready. She like puts her hands on my arm. She's like, I'm sorry to say this, but the story that you told me the other night about the princess was not good.
00:24:28
The Amazing Rewatch
ah so don't do that one again. but She was like, I'm sorry to say this. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it was terrible. Don't tell me that one again. Okay, noted.
00:24:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Okay. Yeah. So, okay. So they have to do, yeah, they have to go to Lucasfilm and they get there easily. I mean, I think it's a pretty well-known spot.
00:24:52
The Amazing Rewatch
So they get to that place and it says, enter the world of Lucasfilm and the Industrial Light and Magic. Industrial Light and Magic is like an award-winning special effects company.
00:25:05
The Amazing Rewatch
And I assume owned by a Lucasfilm. George Lucas is the creator of Star Wars. Yeah. If this is unclear to anybody. So join forces with the but the special effects company. One team member must put on a motion capture suit and enter the soundstage.
00:25:20
The Amazing Rewatch
The partner will then direct them through a series of levels inside a virtual world and lead them to the clue. Decide right now who will be the searcher and who will be the director. So Jordan is going to be the searcher and Dan is going to be the director.
00:25:34
The Amazing Rewatch
And they get started and so they're in this big yeah like studio space with ah the whole room is blank. And the searcher is wearing like a black bodysuit with these white balls on it for like motion detection.
00:25:49
The Amazing Rewatch
And the director is in a whole other room and they can just see a screen and it's like a video game. and But the searcher, they just see like ah and empty an empty room. And so the director has to say like,
00:26:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Walk forward five steps or something. Turn to the right. Turn to the left. But if you go outside the bounds of the area, you seems like you lose and have to start over at beginning of the room. It's like the computer screen like disappears and you have to start over.
00:26:17
The Amazing Rewatch
it's pretty cool. And they look like ah different like Star Wars characters, which is cool. They're like jordan themselves as a Star Wars character. Yeah.
00:26:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Jordans look normal, but when... Cord arrived and he was wearing his I was like what the heck is this person like why does it look like that he had a cowboy hat on but I mean Jet jet was the one that was out there yeah he had a cowboy hat on but his face looked yeah weird weird um so yeah they are starting and the cowboys arrive and as Jet is getting like rigged up Cord is sitting there because he's the director sitting in the next cubicle next to Jordan and he's like or Dan and he's like
00:26:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Saying things like, go forward, jump backwards. Crawl. Ballet moves. Yeah. Backflip. And just trying to like, bother him. And it gets to him.
00:27:09
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah Jordan, ah Dan lets things get to him. And it got to him. He was, like, really annoyed. So... so They're doing it. and when Jordan's progressing through the different levels and when he gets to the last um checkpoint of the game, there's like these words spinning around him like in a circle. and On the screen. On the screen. That Dan can see.
00:27:32
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, so Jordan can't see anything, but Dan can see it. And the words are spinning too fast. And Jordan kind of turns his head. And when he does that, Dan's like, oh, keep doing that. Like, turn. Keep turning. And so as you're turning...
00:27:45
The Amazing Rewatch
If turning the same direction that the words are spinning, it makes the words slow down on the screen. And so he does that. It seems like he has to spin for a while because he gets like dizzy. He's like, I'm going to throw up. and But they finally get the clue there. And it says.
00:27:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, first we have to say, because like Jordan standing in the same spot for a long time. And Jet is like going through his course and he's standing right next to Jordan, but he can't go anywhere because Jordan's still standing there for like a long time, just spinning in circles. Yeah. and like we said, like if you move off the course, then you have to start over. So he like couldn't go around him. He had to just kind of like wait there. yeah,
00:28:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Cord, you know, or yeah, Jet's like, I can't go anywhere. Like, Jordan's standing right here. So Cord, like, bangs on the wall that's dividing him and Dan and says, um direct him out of the way.
00:28:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And Dan gets, like, super mad and Cord peeks around the corner. He's like, going to have one of these Star Wars guys shoot you something like that. can't remember I said, but... Yeah, they, the, oh, the gloves have come off. They're, like, not playing nice anymore.
00:28:56
The Amazing Rewatch
I mean, the Cowboys are not mean. It's just, like, you know, it's down to the wire, and that thing at the airport happened, and they're just, like, everybody's kind of annoyed with each other, but... Yeah. um And this is like a hard situation because like if you're Dan and Jordan, like, of course, you're not going to move from that spot until you get
Strategizing with the Tonga Room Clue
00:29:14
The Amazing Rewatch
the clue. But if you're Jet and Cord, you're really annoyed that they're still standing there.
00:29:18
The Amazing Rewatch
because ah and it's taken them so long. Because it's a long clue. It's like a paragraph. Yeah. Yeah. What does it say? I didn't write down the whole thing because it was long. It says something like. It was like the. A Polynesian haven called Tonga.
00:29:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Or like. um Because. And it's in the Star Wars script. It says a long long time ago. Yeah. You know. i It's in a kingdom far away. or so Or island far away. Or something like that. the people of Tonga made a.
00:29:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Sanctuary here in the city. Something like that. But it's directing them to um Tonga. The Tonga room. Yeah. One of the country's first tiki bars.
00:29:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Called the Tonga. Yeah. So anyways. They finally get it. So Dan and Jordan leave to head to that place. And then Jet gets to the final spot.
00:30:09
The Amazing Rewatch
With that clue that's spinning. And Cord cannot figure out how to direct him to... Yeah, you would think that if Jet saw Jordan standing there spinning for long time the very end. Jet should have said something. Jet should have said, well, why was Jordan spinning?
00:30:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Jordan was spinning. Should I spin or something like that? Because he stood there for a long time and Corden was trying to just see the words as they flashed by. and they did that for quite a while. And in the meantime, Brent and Katie showed up.
00:30:39
The Amazing Rewatch
okay They went and did the roadblock and Brent did the ascension yeah and came down. Brent and Katie show up and Katie does the searching and Brent is the director and they're getting pretty much towards the end by the time Cord figures out the spinning thing.
00:30:54
The Amazing Rewatch
and And they basically leave at the same time. Yeah. Brent and Katie and Jen Cord leave at the same time. So they're heading into their cabs to leave and as they're driving away, Katie goes, where's our money and stuff?
00:31:09
The Amazing Rewatch
And Brent's like, Are you kidding me? You had it. Turn around. Turn around to his driver. And another thing is just like, if my partner spoke to me like that, like, that is not how you react in difficult situations. That's not how you support each other. That's not a supportive partner.
00:31:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, of course, you didn't mean to do that. You're not that far away from the place you were at yet, it seemed like. Yeah. um Like, I just, i it was not nice.
00:31:42
The Amazing Rewatch
And if my partner yelled at me like that, I'd be so upset. know. He made it worse. Especially if it was a boyfriend or like a romantic partner. Yeah. And he, ah she obviously didn't mean to leave it. It was an accident. She probably feels terrible too.
00:31:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, I have a a little behind the scenes for this too. So in one of these interviews I came across, Katie said that um Jet put something on top of the money bag, like on top of the fanny pack on purpose so that she wouldn't see it.
00:32:17
The Amazing Rewatch
and But we didn't show that. Like you would think that they would have put that on. But I don't know if that would even be true. Like I don't think Jet would do something like that. Yeah. Well, because in the interview it was like it was the only thing sitting on that bench so obviously he did it on purpose. But it's like if you were like throwing your clothes off in a rush and like just like tossed it. Yeah. that i I wouldn't think that that would be on purpose. Yeah.
00:32:42
The Amazing Rewatch
so It just doesn't seem like something that jet would do but yeah so um the brothers get to that tonga place first and when they get there there's three big steamer crates that are like wooden looking that just have like a sticker stamp on the top and it says san francisco great american music hall on it and they're just supposed to grab the trunk and they assume go to the great american music hall so they stop and ask for some directions and have to go there on foot and somebody says it's like a 10 or 15 minute walk yeah and carrying this like doesn't look super heavy but just kind of like annoying awkward and it's lots of hills down and up and
00:33:33
The Amazing Rewatch
um then the cowboys get there not too long after get their case but jet and cord i mean not jank dan and jordan get to that music call first and the clue there there says to get your final clue of the race teams will open their steamer trunk and find 11 psychedelic posters eight of them represent teams already eliminated and three non-elimination legs teams must hang them in the correct order to get their final clue and right when they finish reading this jordan says i have them all written down he says i've watched 15 seasons of this show because we all know he's like the he's like a super fan super fan yeah i've watched 15 seasons of the show and there's always something at the end that you have to know and i wrote it all down so they get it really quick it does not take them very long and it was and make no mistakes decently like a pretty easy memory challenge too oh yeah compared like Even if you didn't write stuff down, I don't think that people would have too hard of a time with it.
Final Task and Candlestick Park
00:34:29
The Amazing Rewatch
It doesn't seem like the Cowboys had it written down, but they figured it out pretty easily. But compared to other memory challenges that we've had or will have, this was this means super way easy.
00:34:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. um So. Yeah, theyd they get it super fast. Yeah. And that clue says, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick to find the finish line, jump over to bla So they need to figure out what it is. And jordan or Dan, being a major sports super fan, says, I know where we're going. Candlestick Park. And Jordan's like, yes, yes, you're right.
00:35:05
The Amazing Rewatch
oh my gosh. And like this is the point where they like are i know getting the... know. it's... Yeah. Yeah. They're getting you know like that excitement where you like can hardly even breathe because you know you're the first team and you just have to get there. Yeah. and Candlestick Park is where the 49ers did play football. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:23
The Amazing Rewatch
So Candlestick Park was an outdoor stadium and it was home to the Giants and 49ers. So they played baseball and football in the stadium at the same time. so Well...
00:35:35
The Amazing Rewatch
Not always. Like when we went to San Francisco, you and mom went to a Giants game. I mean, a 49ers game. And me and dad Georgie went to a Giants game. Yeah. At the same time. And they were in different places.
00:35:46
The Amazing Rewatch
So the Giants have a new stadium. I know. But there was a ah time in this stadium's life that they were playing golf at the same time. So it's kind of shaped weird. And like the stands are like shaped weird. Okay. Because they can move around and they can do baseball or football. Okay. Gotcha.
00:36:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Is what I was trying to say. So... um The Giants played there from 1960. And then in they moved to Oracle park That's where they play now.
00:36:15
The Amazing Rewatch
And the 49ers played there from the 71 until 2013. And now they're in Levi's Stadium in San Clara. The last event held at Candlestick Park was a concert by Paul McCartney on august in August 2014.
00:36:31
The Amazing Rewatch
And the demolition of the stadium was completed in September 2015. of 2019, the site is planned to be redeveloped into office spaces. So yeah, when we did our little trip to San Francisco, me and my mom went to 49ers and Green Bay. Wasn't it in a little kind of, isn't it like a sketchy area?
00:36:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh yeah. It was it was definitely ah run down part of town. It was interesting. So i when we were there, we were like, I'm not surprised that they're not going to keep playing here anymore.
00:37:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, because did you know that it was probably one of the final seasons that they played there, It was the final season. Did you say that already? Yeah. Oh, okay. Sorry. Yeah, so, um yeah.
00:37:20
The Amazing Rewatch
And it was pretty far out there, even though it's still, like, within the city. But it was fun to just say that we've been to Candlestick Park.
00:37:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I'm So they head there and their taxi driver seems to know. okay. okay. Well, they have a hard time finding a taxi. The Cowboys get to the music hall. And like we said, they didn't have it written down, but this is not a hard clue. And they had to figure, they could figure it out pretty quickly.
00:37:46
The Amazing Rewatch
And Cord actually also knew that it was Candlestick Park. Yeah. Like he was like, Candlestick. yeah And they I was like, oh, that kind of surprises me. You guys don't look like football watchers, but yeah maybe.
00:37:57
The Amazing Rewatch
And Cowboys and football watchers are kind of. They cross over in the Venn diagram. Yeah. sure yeah um But the way they edit this, it seems like Dan and Jordan have a hard time finding a taxi and Jet and Cord find a taxi right right away.
00:38:15
The Amazing Rewatch
So it looks like they're both traveling to the fine the final pit stop at the same time and their taxi drivers know where they're going. the one The taxi driver of the Cowboys, he's like,
00:38:28
The Amazing Rewatch
is there a rodeo at the park today? Yeah. They're like, there's about to we end up seeing he ah Dan and Jordan run in first and they are team number one.
Dan and Jordan's Victory
00:38:43
The Amazing Rewatch
And they're very, very happy and freaking out. And they're like, we won, we won, we won as they're running in. And it's really cute. And they're,
00:38:54
The Amazing Rewatch
happy and hugging and like Jordan is such a super fan and that's all he wanted to do was be on this race and Dan was doing it for his brother but he was competitive because he wanted to win a million dollars but yeah they win they run up there and Phil says 23 days five continents 40,000 miles you're the winners of the amazing race and a million dollars It's interesting that he didn't say this number of countries.
00:39:21
The Amazing Rewatch
He just said days, continents, and miles. Yeah, he usually does say that. But we've been to eight countries this season. Do you remember them? It's been a long month. I know. I feel like we've been watching this forever. Okay. So we started in LA, and then we went to Chile, who Argentina,
00:39:39
The Amazing Rewatch
who
00:39:41
The Amazing Rewatch
and then...
00:39:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Probably up to Europe, right? So France? Not yet? No. we went one where We went one place before France. Remember, we drove to France on the bus. Oh, Germany? Yeah. Germany, France.
00:39:56
The Amazing Rewatch
um That's four. Seychelles? Yeah. Malaysia, China. there's Oh, Singapore, China.
00:40:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Yeah. So we barely touched Africa, but. Yeah. And Seychelles, I mean, it is Africa, but it's very much off of. Yeah. Not the main like continent of Africa. Yeah.
00:40:21
The Amazing Rewatch
So we did every continent. Except for. Except for Antarctica and Australia. Yep. Four. Yeah. Five. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:33
The Amazing Rewatch
And then that means team number two are Jet and Cord. And they obviously are very gracious losers and just say that they had a great experience and stuff like that. And then so team number three are Brent and Katie. Didn't even show them doing the final task. So we don't know how they did with that.
00:40:50
The Amazing Rewatch
um But Phil is saying like congratulations. And they're like we did such a great job. We worked really hard. We're ah We did this together. And Katie's like, I'm so proud of myself. I worked really hard. I wanted to show people that I was like smart and could do this. And I did it. And the whole time she's talking, Carolyn and Brandy are shaking their head.
00:41:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Mostly Brandy. Yeah. there she wouldn't even She didn't even clap for them as they were running up. Yeah. So they are the closest to the stage thing. And the whole time she's talking, just like standing there shaking their head.
00:41:25
The Amazing Rewatch
And Phil says something like, yes, you are the last team, the last girl in the final... But he doesn't like finish his sentence because he says like, but there's a couple of girls over here that want to and like doesn't like so finish a sentence. I'm like, i don't even know where you were going with that. I'm not sure. What happened here? Because were you, were the producers like, okay, Carolyn Brandy, when Katie gets here, let loose and give your- Yeah, this is like the first time we've ever seen something like this where there's like an interaction- Like ruin the finale. Yeah. ruin the final moments. Because what happens is like Katie turns to say like sorry for you turning. But before she even gets her sentence out, Brandy says, i don't want to hear sorry for from you.
00:42:09
The Amazing Rewatch
You purposefully whacked us so that you could be the last girl standing. You should have you turned the cowboys. Yada yada. Yeah. yeah And Carol is visibly uncomfortable. Oh, yeah. And she's like laughing and she like, like, you know, you can tell that she does not want this interaction. she's even kind of like turning her body away. away Yeah.
00:42:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Like, I am not part of this, but Brandy is being just like, so mean. And he's like, well, maybe you should have treated people a little bit nicer. And Brandy was like, so doesn something, something, something. No, she said, sorry, you can't handle it. Sorry, you can't handle it.
00:42:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And Katie's like, I am handling it. I'm standing here and you're not. Yeah. And Brandy didn't say anything after that, at least not that we saw. So it's very weird. It's like, I wonder, again, did the producer say, like, we're going to, Phil is going to turn it over to you and you can say whatever you want to say?
00:43:02
The Amazing Rewatch
or did Phil see her shaking her head like that and, like, acknowledge it? And he shouldn't have or was he told to or what? Because I did not like it. No, I didn't either. It was unnecessary and kind of, yeah, like brought down the whole thing.
00:43:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And I wonder, I mean, because we obviously don't see the whole finish line on every leg. And I wonder if like each team takes a turn, like saying something like congratulations. And when we got to them, that was what they said or, and, and, yeah you know, they're like, well, that's interesting. We're going to put it in there.
00:43:32
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. It was weird. But yeah, you could because when Carol and Brandy were eliminated, we did talk about where they are now and they're not together anymore. But you could tell that Carol was like embarrassed. Yeah.
00:43:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And yeah, they it was a very weird dynamic between those two teams because Katie got mad at them on the very first late before they even got to South America that they said something
Finish Line Drama
00:43:56
The Amazing Rewatch
about her. Yeah, where's her tiara?
00:43:58
The Amazing Rewatch
Which is like If you're going to get mad about people talking about like that. like Yeah. Like that was a pretty minimal comment. Just like a joke. Yeah. I mean, it wasn't super nice, but it wasn't like the worst thing somebody could say. Yeah. And so then ever since then, they just had like this chip on her shoulder. And then that made Brandy and Carol not like her because she didn't like them. And it was just like this fight the whole time. there And it was just weird.
00:44:24
The Amazing Rewatch
And then when they U-turned them, it was definitely a personal thing, not a strategical thing. Mm-hmm. But yeah, it did not end well with them.
00:44:34
The Amazing Rewatch
so It did not. and But yeah, it was kind of just like, and it was really like the last thing of the episode. Yeah. It ended on like a low note. i'm like Yeah, and then it just kind like did like drone shot of all of them away and I was like, oh, yeah.
00:44:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. And, but even before that all happened, I was like thinking to myself, like, this is one of the only times that I didn't get like choked up at a finale. Oh, yeah. Like, I usually like, yeah it doesn't matter how many times I've seen it. And if I liked the team or not, like, I usually am like, oh, my gosh, it's just like so triumphant. And they worked really hard and they won. But I like, yeah, I don't know. It was something I don't know if it was the team specifically that won.
00:45:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Because I didn't really hate them. and wonder if the whole thing that didn't happen at the beginning of the episode at the airport didn't happen, would I have felt more Right, yeah, I thought the same thing. them fighting at the film studio and stuff like that, would I have felt more...
00:45:34
The Amazing Rewatch
you know, emotional about it or like, I don't know. But yeah, I agree. So i do think Dan and Jordan worked really hard the whole season. There were a few times where they weren't my favorite people, but they're not like the worst people we've ever had on the show.
00:45:55
The Amazing Rewatch
um But there were some really good moments of them too. And then there were some really entertaining moments. And they worked pretty well together. They didn't fight between each other too think there was like leg that they like had some issues. But other than that, they worked well together.
00:46:11
The Amazing Rewatch
um I love seeing super fans on the show. And so that was that was fun. yeah I hated the way that Dan Moore has had the whole time though. yeah That was also yeah really annoying to me. yeah Okay, well, let's talk about Brand Katie. They are the third place team. Their race average was 4.33. However, they did not really like a super great run.
00:46:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Like they took 4th, 7th, 7th, 6th, 6th, 3, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3. So obviously because they were in it and like so obviously because they were in it and like
00:46:46
The Amazing Rewatch
They kept getting higher. They had a higher average, but like they were kind of like at the well end of the pack for most of the first half of the race.
00:46:57
The Amazing Rewatch
So they managed to stay in it and um But you are right. they They did not stay together.
00:47:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Katie confirmed after the race that they broke up due to long distance. But it was probably because they didn't like each other. yeah um Katie is the first female under the age of 21 to compete in the Amazing Race besides the family season.
00:47:24
The Amazing Rewatch
And she remained the youngest competitor until season 36. Wow. So, and she's the youngest finalist.
00:47:45
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
00:47:49
The Amazing Rewatch
So, yeah.
Post-Race Updates on Brent and Katie
00:47:51
The Amazing Rewatch
I have, like, so many things open. Let me find there.
00:47:56
The Amazing Rewatch
So, Katie has a Wikipedia page because of her, like, pageant. Her name is Lauren Caitlin, but she goes by Katie. Mm-hmm.
00:48:05

00:48:29
The Amazing Rewatch
And then, oh no, that's Brent. And that was kind of like the last update that we have of Katie and her, um,
00:48:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Her Instagram was private, so I can't really see. Brent got married in 2018 and had a child in 2022 and another child in 2024.
00:48:51
The Amazing Rewatch
and he does have a Facebook that you can see. His hair is shorter. Yeah. um Two boys.
00:49:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Cute family.
00:49:01
The Amazing Rewatch
think he works in real estate. Yeah. Okay. In South Carolina. So that is them. They both still have amazing race in their Instagram profiles though. So clearly they still like that that is part of their history. Yeah. um Okay. I have to delete some of these.
00:49:24
The Amazing Rewatch
so that I don't... Okay, Jet and Cord, their average was like i gotta go all the 2.5 2.58 they took third first first fourth third fourth sixth was the one that they it was like the non-elimination first third fourth second second so by far like the best average of the teams the final teams they we will see them again in season 18 for unfinished business
00:49:57
The Amazing Rewatch
That's not very far away. No, it's not. That's only two seasons from now. um
00:50:03
The Amazing Rewatch
They were the first team, I think I said this in the episode, they were the first team to perform a speed bump and come in first on the same leg.
00:50:10
The Amazing Rewatch
And everything else I can't say because it kind of gives away other stuff. so What can you say, like? Are they still married to their partners? Yes, I can't say that. I can't say that. yeah um Yeah. So, okay. So there's a couple of things after. So in 2014, $100,000 worth of cattle was stolen from Jet's ranch.
00:50:31
The Amazing Rewatch
um In 2015, Jet announced that he was running for a seat in Oklahoma Senate, but did not win.
00:50:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Cord got married because he got engaged like right before he came on the show. He got and ah married and he has a daughter um in 2018 named Tulsa.
00:50:50
The Amazing Rewatch
And don't think Jet has
00:50:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Facebook or Instagram, but Cord does. And Cord has a Wikipedia page. Cord is the one that had his stuff stolen? um His cow's jet.
00:51:05
The Amazing Rewatch
So this was before the race in September 20 or 2004. Cord.
00:51:11
The Amazing Rewatch
had his skull crushed by a saddle bronc horse in Oklahoma City. He spent three days in a coma and eight months in rehab. This was before the before the race. Yeah, they mentioned they touched on that like a couple episodes ago. Yeah.
00:51:25
The Amazing Rewatch
I would have liked to hear more about that. um But yeah. So he was like big and he won a lot of
00:51:33
The Amazing Rewatch
rodeos. I don't know if he was ever in like the national finals, but he won like lot of bull riding competitions. Yeah. ah All that. um but Yeah.
00:51:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And then Jet, I believe is still married to his wife and has some kids, but there are as popular as the Cowboys are there are i don't know if you've heard, have you heard any about this? Like that people don't like Jet because he used a slur against Jordan.
00:52:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, did they air that? No. And I don't know if it was during the race or if it was like after. I think this thing says
00:52:11
The Amazing Rewatch
um at TAR con in spring 2010, Jet used a homophobic slur against fellow amazing 16 racer Jordan Pius. At where?
00:52:23
The Amazing Rewatch
TAR con, like an amazing race convention. Oh. Why you use that word a convention? I don't know. at all, but us will add a convention. Yeah.
00:52:33
The Amazing Rewatch
So I looked into this a little bit more because I feel like I had heard a little bit about this, but I wasn't.
00:52:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Where is the?
00:52:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Right there. So this is an interview with Dan and Jordan and I'm not going to read the whole thing, but,
00:52:52
The Amazing Rewatch
um They were kind of talking about the the final task at one of the final tasks at the Lucasfilm where Jet was standing right next to Jordan because they were like right there. And Dan says something like Jet can hardly even stand to be next to Jordan.
00:53:08
The Amazing Rewatch
And then says something else kind of like that. And so the interviewer says, um you've said a couple of different times now in this interview that Jet apparently has a problem with Jordan. and We didn't see much of that on the show. Can you elaborate?
00:53:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And a CBS publicist that was with them says, let's talk about the their strategic play on the show instead. But Dan says, Jet hates gays. And Jordan says, he made comments about Carol and Brandy too.
00:53:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Jet called Jordan a ah f FAG on Saturday night for absolutely no reason.
00:53:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So that's not good. But it wasn't aired. and On Saturday night? I think at that convention. Because this interview was like at the convention. yeah So...
00:53:54
The Amazing Rewatch
um But he gets asked back twice. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't want to not believe them. Yeah. If he said that and that's not.
00:54:05
The Amazing Rewatch
But also it was 2010 and that was not as. Maybe it was. I don't know. Yeah.
00:54:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Well. Yeah. We'll see Jet in court again.
00:54:22
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm deleting all of these now. So Dan and Jordan, their race average was 4.3.
00:54:31

The Amazing Rewatch
6th, 4th, 5th, 2nd, 5th, 1st, 3rd, 3rd, 1st. So yeah, like they were also just really middle of the pack. Nothing special until...
Dan and Jordan's Post-Race Achievements
00:54:45
The Amazing Rewatch
until The last leg, really. They used the fast forward in leg nine and got first place. But other than that, they were like, not great.
00:54:54
The Amazing Rewatch
But it doesn't matter. It's yeah the last leg that counts and they won. So they were the youngest average age all male team to win the race. Average age of 23 at the time.
00:55:07
The Amazing Rewatch
They're the first Jewish team to win the race. At this time or ever? Wait. The lowest average male age team up till that point or still? I think still. It says Dan and Jordan are the youngest average age all male team.
00:55:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Hmm.
00:55:22
The Amazing Rewatch
first Jewish team and the first team of brothers to win. Is that true? i guess these people know what they're talking about. Yeah, they do.
00:55:32
The Amazing Rewatch
i guess. Yeah. Like, I guess the other boy teams have been friends, friends, interesting dating like chip and Reichen. Oh yeah. Huh.
00:55:42
The Amazing Rewatch
They're the first team from Rhode Island to win. And the lowest racing average of a team who won. my gosh. Okay. Lowest racing average of a team who won at least one leg prior to winning the race.
00:55:57
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. i don't I don't want to figure that out. That doesn't make sense. also don't think that's true.
00:56:03
The Amazing Rewatch
The lowest racing average...
00:56:05
The Amazing Rewatch
Of a team who won at least one leg prior to winning. So there could be other teams that never won a leg until the final that had a lower average.
00:56:16
The Amazing Rewatch
But teams who have won first places would have a lower average. I think it means lower as in like not worse. Oh.
00:56:27
The Amazing Rewatch
So it's a higher number, but it's a lower. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. Okay. It's too hard to figure out. know. It's late. um
00:56:37
The Amazing Rewatch
Dan and Jordan, they have a Facebook page together. these These were the ones that I have not looked up yet.
00:56:43

00:57:34
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, it doesn't really say what they did after. Yeah, Dan got married on October 13th, 2018. And that's all the information that this page has about them. So.
00:57:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Interesting. Okay. So in general, this is not a favorite season. Yeah, I could see that.
00:57:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Um... A lot of people didn't love the teams. A lot of people didn't like that the Cowboys didn't win because they were the favorite. But also, i guess the marketing for this episode was like, it's the toughest um challenges the race has seen so far. and it's not It's like the easiest finale ever. Yeah.
00:58:14
The Amazing Rewatch
And like the easiest ah speed bump, that like coin tossing thing. Yeah. And... A lot of people feel like the Cowboys got a lot more airtime than others, but I don't know if that's true. I think it was just they were more memorable and people liked them better. Yeah.
00:58:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Because it seemed like it was pretty even, but I didn't count minute for minute, so I don't know. yeah Yeah. Yeah, I agree. i think it was a good route. I liked that we did like South America, Europe.
00:58:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Southeast Asia. went lots of places. ah Some people didn't like that Malaysia, Singapore, and two China legs, like four Asia legs that kind of felt similar.
00:58:58
The Amazing Rewatch
um But the Seychelles was a new country that was interesting. um
00:59:05
The Amazing Rewatch
that the the morse code task in france that eventually eliminated joe and heidi on the u-turn yeah everybody was mad about that because they were like that is like literally impossible like how could anybody even do that that that's like a professional morse code yeah because it was a long message like if it was like one word maybe but it was like a like two sentences or like a sentence yeah that was crazy Um, and there was a few Redditors that really did not like Louie and Michael.
00:59:40
The Amazing Rewatch
they said that they were arrogant and that they were not smart with the u-turns like why would you u-turn joe and heidi when joe was already hurt and he would have had to go out eventually anyway or and like why would you have brand katie u-turn brandy and carol instead of the cowboys and okay yeah i could see that's like you use both used turns for pretty personal stuff because they u-turned joe because he was he was like if i wasn't her like yeah i'm at the front of the pack and i'm her can you imagine what i would do if i wasn't her this which is really annoying and then told brent and katie to you turn the uh carolyn brandy people have been u-turned for less yeah but i think brent and katie would have u-turned carolyn brandy even if even if michael didn't tell him yeah
01:00:30
The Amazing Rewatch
But other than that, I don't think they were like cocky or – think so either. And I think they were nice to everybody and nice to each other. Yeah. mean, we said that last episode when they were lunated. Yeah. We actually have reached out to Louis and he is going to be coming – Yeah.
01:00:47
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah um ah few days after these episodes get published so watch for that yes interview we're really excited he's excited to talk about it seems like he like still loves talking about the show and So that'll be a fun bonus episode to watch for. Yeah.
01:01:04
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah It'll be nice to, because we've done other interviews and stuff, but we haven't necessarily done very many of like that season that we're currently on. Yeah. We've done like.
01:01:17
The Amazing Rewatch
No, Brian. Brian? Yeah. Season seven. He was kind of like the only one that we talked to of an older season at the time. that we Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it'll be nice to have Louie on there. So keep an eye out for that.
01:01:30
The Amazing Rewatch
And then we'll have our October sister session coming out. and Oh yeah, I forgot about that. A couple days as well. And yeah, we'll hopefully have a couple other things before the end of the year. Yeah, and then season 17, which i don't I also don't think I've seen season 17. Yeah.
01:01:48
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah I don't and don't know. I'll have to wait. Yeah, when I see the teams, I'll remember or not. But yeah, it was also I agree. It wasn't my favorite season.
01:01:59
The Amazing Rewatch
There are good teams that are memorable. so like some favorite teams, but not my favorite season. And I do feel like probably it was kind of an easy season. Except for the Morse code thing.
01:02:10
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
01:02:11
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah.
01:02:13
The Amazing Rewatch
