Introduction to Season 14 Finale
00:00:07
The Amazing Rewatch
hello Hello, Welcome to the season 14 finale of The Amazing Rewatch. ah This was ah good season. I liked it.
Challenges of Watching the Season
00:00:18
The Amazing Rewatch
it's I'm glad it's over, just because it's taken us a long time to watch this one. I feel like we say that all the time, but this one really, we had to stretch it out a lot. so Yeah, we...
00:00:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Had a few, well, a lot of stuff going this month. stuff. But when they do the run into the final mat and it was like showing us the other contestants that have been eliminated over the series, I was like, oh my gosh.
00:00:41
The Amazing Rewatch
it Like they were from forever ago. I know. Yes, I felt the same thing.
Final Three Teams Compete in China
00:00:47
The Amazing Rewatch
so We have the final three teams of Tammy and Victor, Margie and Luke, and Jamie and Cara. And they have been in China for three legs now. Mm-hmm. And...
00:01:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Is there anything else we want to say? Any housekeeping items before we just get into the episode? I don't think so.
Recording Preparation and Travel Plans
00:01:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. have to leave for Italy at 5 a.m. m tomorrow morning and Sadie still has to paint my nails.
00:01:15
The Amazing Rewatch
So we're going to do this fast. Yeah. Also, for a final episode, it's kind of like not much. There wasn't a whole lot that happened. So we probably will get it fast anyways.
Flight to Maui and Race Logistics
00:01:28
The Amazing Rewatch
Yep. um So our first team to depart are Tammy and Victor at 9.15 p.m. It says, fly 5,000 miles to your destination city, Maui, Hawaii. Once there, make your way to Beach Access 118 for your next clue.
00:01:43
The Amazing Rewatch
They get to the airport and they find out the next flight doesn't leave until 9.30 a.m. But they can't book anything until those airlines open at 6 a.m. So they'll just have to hang out in the airport overnight.
00:01:55
The Amazing Rewatch
Margie and Luke depart at 11.24 and then Jamie and Cara at 2.04. Yeah. So they are very spread out.
Jamie and Cara's U-turn Challenge
00:02:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. This equalizer was a lifesaver for a couple of these teams. Yeah.
00:02:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Definitely. And I think. Well, like the reason Jamie and Kara were so far behind is because they took forever to find that. The U-turn. U-turn clue box. And yeah. Anyways. That's like three hours yeah behind Margie and Luke and six hours behind Tammy and Victor. That's crazy.
00:02:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Tammy and Victor really flew through the last leg. And so they're all on the same flight. And then it says 18 hours later and the flight is landing in Hawaii. Yes.
00:02:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes.
Luggage Decisions and Team Strategies
00:02:37
The Amazing Rewatch
They run out of the airport and Jamie and Cara have ditched their bags, which yeah I probably would, but they're i think they're the only ones. Well, looks like Jamie and Cara and then it looks like Victor is wearing a bag, but Tammy isn't.
00:02:51
The Amazing Rewatch
but mar And Margie and Luke have their bags. Yeah. I wish they would like give us more information on that kind of stuff. Like those little details. i think they're really interesting. Like what happened? Did you send them home? Did you just... What did you do with your bag? What made you decide not to carry it? Yeah. Like I yeah want to know those things. What if you what if you need your stuff? Yeah.
00:03:13
The Amazing Rewatch
So...
Cultural Perspective in Taxi Ride
00:03:14
The Amazing Rewatch
I wonder if you could like to your destination city, like you could check your bag and then just not pick it up from. Yeah. Just go back to the airport later and pick it up when it's over. Yeah.
00:03:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Probably. Because like I did that like one time i i had a layover in San Francisco And i thought my backpack was just going to get on my plane to Salt Lake and it didn't.
00:03:38
The Amazing Rewatch
I left it in San Francisco. And by the time i like got home from Salt Lake and like to my home from the airport and stuff, my backpack arrived like an hour later.
00:03:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Like the airport, like the airlines are really quick. Anyway, so I'm just wondering if you could like. Just have the plan of not picking up your bag after checking it. They'd probably do something with it.
00:04:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Hold it. Go back to the airport and pick it up or they'll get it back to you. Yeah. yeah I don't know. Yeah. I wonder if that's what they did. Anyway, we don't know. um When they're getting in their taxis, Margie and Luke get in theirs and they're like, hurry, drive fast, fast, fast. And the guy's like, that is illegal, ma'am.
00:04:20
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. I cannot do that. it's It's true. It's funny how people think that they're just going to like... ah Break the law. For them. For them, And how they're like, it's for a million dollars. And the taxi driver's like, it's not a million dollars for me. Unless you're going to give me half of it. Yeah. I don't care.
Hawaiian Luau Physical Challenge
00:04:38
The Amazing Rewatch
So when they get to this beach, ah the clue says they need to... Prepare a pig for a traditional Hawaiian luau by seasoning seasoning it and carrying this 145 pound pig 200 yards to the luau.
00:04:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Then using the example for reference, they have to cover the pig in like the traditional way to get their next clue. So they're like, this pig is like, but do they skin pigs?
00:05:05
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. You can eat. I mean, pig skin. Didn't they used to make footballs out of that? Isn't that why it's called that? I think so. Do they skin pigs?
00:05:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, while you're looking that up, something interesting about this is that this is one half of the detour and nobody did the other half, so they just like didn't even show it.
00:05:29
The Amazing Rewatch
What was the other half? Because it's this one was really hard. It doesn't say. and know. mean Yeah, but it's crazy what it would be. Yeah. like If this was the one that they picked, then the other one must have been really hard.
00:05:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. so It says they are skinned before being butchered and processed for consumption. But people eat, like pork rinds are skinned. yeah pigskin Anyways, so it just looks like a skinned pig and they have to like, and it's laying there and they have to put like all these spices on it and then stick like a bamboo.
00:06:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Like a ah log. Rod. Rod. Between, yeah, between the legs. And then carry it. And when it says it's 145 two people, like. between two people It looks way heavier than that.
00:06:17
The Amazing Rewatch
The way that. Well, the way that Kara. Kara. I keep saying Kara. The way that Kara and Tammy were acting. It looks like it weighed like 500 pounds. Yeah. Anyway, so Tammy and Victor get there first. And then Jamie and Kara are after them. And Margie and Luke are not far after them.
00:06:33
The Amazing Rewatch
But the way Tammy and Victor and Jamie Cara carry this, they like hold it. was It wild to me. They're just like holding it in front of them. like in like a yeah like Like in a dead hang almost.
00:06:46
The Amazing Rewatch
ah Margie and Luke put it up over on their shoulder. Yeah. Which would be way easier. That seems like such common sense. And they pass both teams. And the other teams see how much easier of a time that they're having. I don't know why they're like, oh, let's carry like that.
00:07:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, so, and Temi, I mean, Jamie keeps saying to Kara, like, Temi is so weak. We can pass her. We can pass her. But they're both struggling, too.
00:07:11
The Amazing Rewatch
But, and they keep, like, both teams keep just dropping it and putting it down and picking it back up and... victor is getting frustrated with tammy but he's still like being nice to her yeah he's like saying you're doing so great don't doubt yourself just go farther than you think you can go you can do it and jamie is talking really mean to cara she's like this is how you lose a million dollars Oh my gosh, what are you doing?
00:07:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Like yelling at her. It's just like weird to talk to a friend that way. I know. and But also Kara was like she would take like two steps and then just drop it and then pick it up and then take two steps and just drop it.
00:07:50
The Amazing Rewatch
or the And they there's a time where she like dropped and she like fell to the ground. Yeah. Just like sprawled out onto to the sand. But it's obvious that that way is not working for you guys. Like do a
Jet Ski Race and Clue Search
00:07:59
The Amazing Rewatch
different way. I know.
00:08:01
The Amazing Rewatch
So Margie and Luke arrived first. Yeah. then Tammy and Victor and then Jimmy and Cara. And they're not far from each other. Um, but Margie and Luke finished first and they get the clue. And it says, make your way to the beach at McGregor point and then take a one mile ride on a watercraft to a marked buoy field to search among a hundred buoys to find your next clue.
00:08:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, yeah, so, They... Well, the clue for the pig one was like, use the provided swimsuits. Yeah. It says like, stay in your swimsuit. why are these swimsuits so tiny? Yeah.
00:08:38
The Amazing Rewatch
i would I would like a one piece, please. Yeah. They... They're like these bikinis and like Margie and Tammy are wearing t-shirts over there. Yeah. But Cara and Jamie are not. And they're like these tiny
Memory Challenge with Surfboards
00:08:49
The Amazing Rewatch
triangle bikinis that they're like doing all these physical tasks in.
00:08:53
The Amazing Rewatch
Like this not appropriate. Yeah. Clothing. And then the boys swim trunks that are they're given are like way too big and yeah that'll come in in a little bit. but It's weird. It's like why are the girls so small and the boys so large?
00:09:07
The Amazing Rewatch
um So Tammy and Victor and Jamie and Cara did their pig thing a little bit wrong there's like these big palm leaves that are not supposed to be used yeah and they put them on top of the pig and then cover the pig with a tarp and then cover it with sand so then they have to like take those off yeah uncover take off the palms but they both did it wrong so they both have to do that so margie and luke get to this beach before everyone and get on the jet ski and get out to the buoys
00:09:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And get the clue and they're headed back by the time Tammy and Victor and Jamie and Cara get to the beach and get on their jet skis. Yeah. So the clue that they receive out on the buoy says to race along the Hana Highway to ah the fence made of surfboards. so
00:09:56
The Amazing Rewatch
And Jamie and Kara and Tammy and Victor are not like too far behind. Nobody like struggles a lot to find this clue. But um when they get there, Luke and Margie are there first and it's a roadblock and it says who's ready to build something from memory.
00:10:12
The Amazing Rewatch
So we know this is the final task and it says team members or yeah, teams must remember everything they've done on the race. Search through a pile of 300 vintage surfboards to find 11 that have pictures related to things you've encountered along the prior 11 legs.
00:10:29
The Amazing Rewatch
Most surfboards have incorrect pictures. When you've created the surfboard fence by placing the surfboards in the correct order according to the pictures, you'll get the next clue. Yeah.
00:10:41
The Amazing Rewatch
So, yeah. So it says, who's ready to build something from memory? And immediately Luke is like, I'm doing this one. And Margie's like, yes, you're doing this one. He's been studying. He has a good memory. He's written everything down. He's just been going over and over it. And he he knows this stuff.
00:10:57
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah so he starts going and this is his swimsuit keeps falling off like they're so big and he like is struggling to keep his swimsuit up and go get the surfboards so he just like takes them off and runs around in his underwear yeah yeah and so when he's doing this he starts out pretty good like seeing like yeah which surfboard so it's like a huge pile of all these different surfboards. There's 300. There's different sizes and different colors and stuff. And just like on the top of the surfboard is like a picture. So one of them is a picture of...
00:11:35
The Amazing Rewatch
a cable car, which they did in Italy. And one of them is a picture of, like... I think Germany. but in Germany? Germany. Yeah, so there was... Like, the Scorpions was for the roadblock in China. Yeah.
00:11:51
The Amazing Rewatch
there was Jesus for, like, one when they went to the church. Yeah. And... they're i mean, they're kind of, like... A little bit obscure. Pretty random. Yeah.
00:12:03
The Amazing Rewatch
So you'd have to remember. Yeah. So Luke does this and he, yeah, like I said, he starts out pretty good. Like he's going pretty quickly and it's like, oh, he's going to finish before anybody even gets there.
00:12:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Like he has like five or six placed before we even cut back to the other teams. And Jamie and Kara's taxi is lost and Tammy and Victor are stuck behind like a really slow car. So it's like, oh my gosh, he's going to finish. Yeah.
00:12:28
The Amazing Rewatch
And they're going to just win. Yeah. so by the time and Victor show up, Luke yeah already has seven of them correct and done. Yeah. So he's done like one through nine or whatever. So the last two.
00:12:45
The Amazing Rewatch
He kind of, he like can't really figure out what they are. And he puts like random ones. Yeah. He just like keeps pulling them up. And they're the only two. Like he seems like he's pretty confident on the first nine because he doesn't switch any of those out. Yeah. He just like is trying to figure out the last two. Yeah.
00:13:02
The Amazing Rewatch
And it would kind of be hard. Like you were in China for three legs. Those kind of, those probably would run together and it would be pretty confusing.
00:13:13
The Amazing Rewatch
But. When Tammy and Victor get there, Victor does the roadblock. And then Jamie and Kara arrive and Jamie does the roadblock. And when they're like, when they read the clue, they kind of are hesitant on who should do it. But Kara's like, Jamie, you do it. Jamie, you do it. I'm like...
00:13:32
The Amazing Rewatch
I want Jamie to do it so that she doesn't yell at Kara. Yes. like Because you know that if it was Kara doing it, Jamie would be like, come on, come on. Yeah. She would be like very negative and not very nice.
00:13:43
The Amazing Rewatch
So luckily Jamie does it. Yes. um So Luke keeps getting those last two wrong and Victor is kind of, he's going pretty well. Jamie doesn't really seem to even understand the task.
00:13:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. It was so annoying. She's like, She's like, I've never seen these things before. When did we do these things? And I'm like, you didn't do most of them. That's the whole point. Because it says there's over 300 surfboards and most of the boards have incorrect pictures on them. That's what the clue says. Yes.
00:14:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And it's like, ah she there's one of a rat or something. And she's like, when did we ever see a rat? Yeah. It's like, you didn't. It's an incorrect one. Keep going. And she's kind of just like throwing them around and getting all discouraged already.
00:14:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So they have like different methods. But I do – do you remember in the – just before we get too far past it, when they're in the taxi and their taxi driver can't find where they're going and he calls somebody? oh yeah.
00:14:38
The Amazing Rewatch
And the lady on the other end is like, tell these people that I'm not their personal concierge and I don't have time to do this. Because she she can hear Jamie yelling. Yes. And – they They're like being so loud and they keep saying this is for a million dollars. Like this is a million dollars. And you can tell the taxi driver is so flustered. And then he says yes he has to get gas. And they're like, you really have to get gas? It's like, well, do you want him not to get gas? Do you want to be lost without gas? Would you rather break down on the side of the road? And when he gets gassy, he gets back in. Jamie's like, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm just like really. Yeah. I'm like, wow. That was the first time ever on 11 legs that she's apologized for being rude.
00:15:18
The Amazing Rewatch
But he speaks English, so if he was speaking a different language, you probably wouldn't apologize. So on the surfboards, they all have different methods. like Luke looked like he was just like doing one at a time.
00:15:31
The Amazing Rewatch
Victor was like pulling him out and putting him in a pile. And that seems to be kind of the most efficient way to do it. Yeah, because then he just stood them all up. Yes. And Jamie was kind of, I don't know. I don't know what she was doing.
00:15:45
The Amazing Rewatch
Kind of a mix of both, I guess. But so Victor now has five boards up and Luke still is stuck on these last two. And he is getting so frustrated and just like, just not understand what's going, like what's wrong. seeing Yeah.
00:16:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And. Like, his mom is being really supportive, but it would probably be just so hard to stand there and not be able
Luke's Team Dynamics and Frustration
00:16:11
The Amazing Rewatch
to help her. And watch, yeah. And she keeps saying, like, don't give up, don't give up, because he, like, says a couple of times, like, I'm done, I'm done. And he he does that. He's done that a few times during the season where he gets really upset frustrated tries and kind of gives up.
00:16:27
The Amazing Rewatch
um So, like, Luke eventually gets the number 10 one correct, but... But he just can't get the 11th one correct, which is the scorpions on the skewers. What was the 10?
00:16:41
The Amazing Rewatch
ah ten It was the reflexology foot massage. yeah. The foot. That's right. And that one was kind of weird, yeah too, because all of the rest of them, I don't know. they kind of like The cartoon style seemed kind of similar on the rest of them, and that one was different yeah and kind of weird. So I can see why that one would be kind of confusing.
00:17:03
The Amazing Rewatch
So it ends up being Victor who finishes first. And they get the clue. It says travel to the King Kamea Golf Club and run to the finish line.
00:17:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Kamea Mea. Kamea Mea Golf Club and run to the finish line. And Luke and Jamie see him... and And Tammy run away and they're like really frustrated.
00:17:26
The Amazing Rewatch
And eventually Kara's like, why don't you guys work together? Yeah. So. Because Jamie couldn't figure out the first one and Luke couldn't figure out the last one. yeah And so, yeah, Luke shows her the Jesus that's on the first one and she goes and gets that and it's right.
00:17:43
The Amazing Rewatch
And Kara's like, we'll help him with the last one. And she's like, oh of course, of course, I'm not going to go without telling him. So she shows him what the last one is, the scorpion skewers, and they get in the car. And then it's really not like a taxi race to the end. it seems It's like pretty clear that Tammy and Victor are team number one or going to be team number one.
00:18:06
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, they kind they have like big smiles on their face. They know that they left first and they know it seems like they know their taxi driver knows where he's going. So they're just like super happy. And Luke and Jamie are both pretty upset. Like yeah they feel like they let their partners down. But Kara and Margie are both being like, you did the best you could and I am proud
Tammy and Victor's Victory
00:18:29
The Amazing Rewatch
of you. and Yeah, Jamie's like...
00:18:33
The Amazing Rewatch
I just didn't know that Jesus. Yeah. I'm sorry. I forgot Jesus. and she's like upset. And Cara says, Jamie, I'm not anything but proud of you and of us. And like ah Margie gives Luke a hug and a kiss and says she loves him and all this stuff. And yeah like, you know, it's it's true. they They said that when they were talking about last episode with – Keisha and Jen getting eliminated it's like it's not just the end that gets you eliminated like it's the whole day it's the whole thing yeah you know so it's not just Jamie and Luke's fault it's like you know everything throughout the day that led up to it you know so it's nice of their partners to be nice and supportive of them because not all partners are that way yeah so we do get Tammy and Victor run up to the mat our team number one
00:19:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And like I said, there's all these – the old team's like, you know, lining the – Preston and Jennifer. like, oh, yeah. And Steve and Linda. Steve and Linda. Yeah. I'm like, oh my gosh. That was like forever ago.
00:19:40
The Amazing Rewatch
It really, really seems like that was – we watched that so long ago. Mm-hmm. Yeah, team number one. And they win a million dollars. Yes. i didn't what What does Phil say? Like how many countries? Oh, I can tell you. i didn't I don't ever write it down because you usually do. I know.
00:19:55
The Amazing Rewatch
we were I guess he probably would have said nine countries because we did eight. And they count america they count the U.S. too. Yeah. So, do you know which ones we went to?
00:20:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. This will be impressive if you can do that.
00:20:10
The Amazing Rewatch
It was... Switzerland? Germany? Did you count Austria? Yeah. Okay. Germany, Switzerland, Austria.
00:20:20
The Amazing Rewatch
They didn't go to Italy, right? No. um
00:20:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Then I know Russia was in there, but I think it was not next, right?
00:20:30
The Amazing Rewatch
Did they go somewhere in Africa? No. Oh, oh, Romania. Romania, Russia, Thailand.
00:20:39
The Amazing Rewatch
There was somewhere before that. Oh, India. Thailand. China. Yeah. United States. Yeah.
00:20:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. So they're the winners of the million dollars and they're the second brother sister team in a row. Yeah. To win a million dollars because Nick and Star won last season.
00:21:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Then Jamie and Cara are number two and Margie and Luke are number three.
00:21:04
The Amazing Rewatch
And the beginning of the day, it did not seem like it was going to be that way. Yeah. It seems like Margie Luke were going to for sure be the winners. Yeah. But that just, that last dang surfboard.
00:21:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Which is so frustrating for them, I'm sure. really never know. Yeah. You can't stop racing. Yeah. Yeah. We're happy for Tammy and Victor. I liked them. They were a good team. They were strong.
00:21:26
The Amazing Rewatch
They, besides their little meltdown in Romania, they got along pretty well. And even that wasn't terrible. Like, yeah they were still nice to each other when they were fighting. yeah.
00:21:38
The Amazing Rewatch
So, we've been to Maui before. we were there in season two. We've been to Hawaii. We went to Hawaii in two, three, four, six.
00:21:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Is this the first time that the finish line was in Maui though? Or like in Hawaii?
Maui as Final Destination
00:21:53
The Amazing Rewatch
Because usually it was like a stopover. Yeah. Yeah. Like mainland usa Yeah. um like in season two we went to maui then alaska then san francisco yeah and i don't we've talked about that before we didn't we don't like i like when they just go to the final destination city do all of the tasks in the that city yeah because it's so dumb to go to one place and do a detour and then get on a plane and go somewhere else do the roadblock and
00:22:21
The Amazing Rewatch
So it was like season five that they, or I guess, no, season six, they did the, anyway, so Maui, um as there's not a lot of information or I just, we've been here before. So it's the second largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
00:22:40
The Amazing Rewatch
It's 727 square miles. In 2020, the census said there was a population of 168,000, the third highest population of the Hawaiian Islands behind Oahu and Hawaii.
00:22:54
The Amazing Rewatch
um The city of Lahaina Lahaina. Lahaina was mostly destroyed by the fire in 2023. And Maui has a significant tourist industry with nearly 3 million visitors in 2022.
00:23:09
The Amazing Rewatch
and about 40% of Maui's economy is tourism related.
00:23:15
The Amazing Rewatch
So... i just sent client a proposal for a Maui trip today. So are they coming back from the fire? Recovering?
00:23:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I think so. And you can you can see like in the pictures of this hotel that I sent, the background kind of like up on the mountains is more kind of like charred still. But down on the hotel property grounds and like near the beach, they've like replanted grass and trees and stuff. And it looks pretty green and pretty. Yeah.
00:23:49
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah Yeah, that was crazy, those fires there. Mm-hmm.
00:23:53
The Amazing Rewatch
um so over a hundred It says 102 people died in those fires. crazy. It's crazy that a fire can move that fast that you are caught. Yeah, you just can't get away.
00:24:06
The Amazing Rewatch
um Well, let's talk about this episode. So I did mention that the detour... was aired as just like a single task because all the teams chose that one. And so we don't know what the other side of the detour was.
00:24:24
The Amazing Rewatch
And then that's it. That's like the only interesting thing okay of the episode in general.
00:24:34
The Amazing Rewatch
So we'll start with Margie and Luke in third place. Their race average for this season was 2.75. So they did really well. They took first three times. They never took below fourth place.
00:24:50
The Amazing Rewatch
So they did great. They were a very strong team.
00:24:53
The Amazing Rewatch
And we will see them again in season 18, Unfinished Business. And so they originally applied with two other family members for season eight, the family season.

00:26:39
The Amazing Rewatch
Their race average for this season was 3.92. They took, well They were team number one in that second to last leg or third to last leg, I guess. But then it was like the continuation. So they didn't actually get first place. and they started out like taking like seventh, sixth, seventh, fifth. And then they just like got better and better taking like second, third, second, third.
00:27:07

They got married in 2015 and they have two kids, I think. Jamie did? Jamie did. She has three kids now. And she looks the same.

The Amazing Rewatch
Maybe he's retired. I'm not sure. Look him up. And then Cara. um Also is married. And also has three kids. And she also lives in Florida. But I'm pretty sure she lived in Florida. When they were on the race.

Yep. They come back for unfinished business as well. Is season 18 all just 14? There's a lot. There's Mel and Mike, te not Tammy Victor, Jamie and Cara. Margie and Luke.
00:28:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Margie and Luke. Keisha and Jen. That's crazy. And was there maybe one more? I don't remember. So Tammy and Victor, there race statistics, they had an average of 2.33. So so they took first four times plus the final leg, so five times.
00:29:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Their lowest place was eight out of nine in there're in Romania. But ah besides that, they didn't take lower than third. Yeah, and they were they were lucky that that one couple took that flight through Amsterdam. and Mm-hmm.
00:29:32
The Amazing Rewatch
Or else they would have been. It's funny how things work out. Yeah. Like, if they would have been eliminated, what would have? Margie and Luke probably have the whole thing. Yeah. And then we wouldn't have had Margie and Luke in season 18. Mm-hmm.
00:29:46
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't want to spoil it, but they also come back in season 24. Margie and Luke. So they are a three-peat team.
00:29:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Tammy has gotten married and has a child.
00:30:01
The Amazing Rewatch
um And Victor's Instagram is private and we don't really know much about him.
00:30:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Team Guido follows him on Instagram though. Nice. So, yeah.
00:30:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, so they have the biggest age gap between siblings. and Besides the family season. There was nine years between them. They're the first Asian American team to win.
00:30:28
The Amazing Rewatch
And the they have the most legs won by an ah Asian American team. And the highest race average for a sibling team. Nice. so Yeah, they did a really good job.
00:30:40
The Amazing Rewatch
Lots of good things. And I'm glad they won. I think yeah they de deserve to win. They run a really good race. Yeah, and they were solid for sure. So, yeah, happy with this season, with this result.
00:30:54
The Amazing Rewatch
It was a good season overall. i Most of the teams I liked. But, yeah, we didn't go to South America or Africa or Australia.
00:31:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. There was a lot of Asia.
00:31:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Basically just Europe and Asia. Well, basically it was.
00:31:12
The Amazing Rewatch
ah Yeah, you I mean, there's a lot of like Europe heavy seasons just because there's so many countries and lots of things to do.
00:31:24
The Amazing Rewatch
The current season is a very Asia. Season 37 is a very Asia heavy season so far. You think?
00:31:34
The Amazing Rewatch
We're already in Europe though. I know, but they did Japan for two legs, Bali for two legs, Dubai for... Didn't they do two legs in Dubai? don't Maybe just one. I haven't seen the most recent episode, but... Bulgaria.
00:31:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Like the first five legs were in Asia. Yeah. True.
00:31:57
The Amazing Rewatch
That's okay. there's Asia's also a big place and wants things to do, so... Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the more current seasons, they don't travel as much yeah either. They like stay in one place for two legs more often than they used to. Yeah, I agree.
00:32:13
The Amazing Rewatch
I wonder wonder why. i feel like there's less equalizers, which I like, but you see less places.
00:32:24
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe just overall costs, maybe...
00:32:28
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm not sure. I would love to be a fly on the wall for an amazing race production meeting when they're like mapping out the route and stuff. I think that would be so fun.
00:32:38
The Amazing Rewatch
But yeah I will probably never be in that room. Yeah. But we do have lots of good ideas for them, so they should ask us. I know. We should be on the board of... What is the word?
00:32:51
The Amazing Rewatch
The board of trustees? that's something I don't know. The board of decisions.
00:32:57
The Amazing Rewatch

00:33:56
The Amazing Rewatch

And it's still like an active... Music venue. Establishment. Yeah. and the concerts for that day were sold out. And so Sadie just went and like stood in the standby line.
