Summary

Peridiam Talks The Amazing Race 38 Ep 8
Mike Bloom welcomes Peridiam for a Big Brother–flavored breakdown of The Amazing Race 38, diving into both the season and Peridiam’s personal history with the show. Peridiam explains that TAR was his “original darling” of the CBS trifecta—something he watched from the very beginning before drifting away and then binge-reigniting his fandom in the mid-2010s with his wife, now the bigger TAR fan. Though best known for his Big Brother and Survivor coverage, he’s touched TAR only occasionally, including a Season 5 recap once shown by Colin and Christie to their family.
From the BB perspective, Peridiam rates TAR 38 slightly above average, enjoying how knowing the alumni elevates the season. He highlights dominant frontrunners Jag & Jazz and Tucker & Eric, praises the entertainment value of teams like Izzy & Paige, and roots for pairs such as Joseph & Adam. He and Mike also unpack odd strategic decisions, early exits, and the looming double U-turn—where old BB tensions could finally resurface.

0:00.0	Hi, everybody and welcome back to RHAP's coverage of The Amazing Race 38.
0:20.2	My name is Mike Bloom back again with another one of these
0:23.0	special podcasts where we are talking to somebody in the big brother community about this
0:28.0	big brother theme season of the amazing race. Today I am thrilled because we are talking with
0:34.9	one of the most prominent Big Brother YouTubers out there,
0:38.1	and that is saying a lot.
0:40.0	Of course, we're talking about a show like The Amazing Race
0:41.8	where teams are given a money at the beginning of every lake to spend however they wish.
0:46.9	But instead of talking per diems, I'm talking to Peridium.
0:51.2	How's it going Peridium?
0:52.9	That's a deep cut.
1:46.0	I know. Oh, man. You don't want to know the brain space I was occupying during my walk with my dog, trying to figure out how to intro properly. I just love like, yeah, for those who don't know, the first time Mike ever mentioned my name, he said Perdium. And I just was like, oh, I'm never going to forget. Which, to be fair, it's a very weird, unusual name that you're not going to be able to think, like, what is this? It's, it's a weird. It's a, I mean, it was my Xbox scammer tag from like 15 years ago. And look at it now. And now it's your professional name, essentially. Right. So, but yeah, Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thank you for having me dragging me out of the shadows to talk about the amazing race to get my, I come on very often to talk about Survivor and Big Brother. Those are my bread and my butter. But in the case of the amazing race, this, I don't know where that fits in the equation of the bread and the butter. Jelly, maybe?

1:47.7	Is it like the crumbs on the side?
1:49.3	Like, I love The Amazing Race.
1:51.3	I do.
1:51.8	I've watched all the seasons.
1:53.9	But I've made collectively, I think, two videos about using actual footage from The Amazing Race. I have talked like I talked about Janelle and Brittany. I talked about Corinne and Eliza. I talked about, um, you did a whole video in Jess and Cody, I remember. I did Jess and Cody from way back in the day when they were on season 30 or something. Um, but that's kind of it. Then I did a review of season 31 because they had the Survivor and Big Brother Mishmash.
2:20.3	And I did a video about Colin and Christy, which I thought was like my favorite thing to do because that's one of the,
2:26.2	funny enough, even though I've only made like two really dedicated to Amazing Race with just Amazing Race footage,
2:32.9	I did a whole coverage of The Amazing Race Season 5.
