Today, Rob Cesternino, Mike Bloom and Jess Liese discuss the finale, episode 12, of The Amazing Race 38.

On this episode, the Rob, Mike, and Jessica gather to recap the finale of Amazing Race 38, celebrating Jag and Jazz’s victory and scrutinizing the highs and lows of the final leg. The team brings in insights from the city where the race concluded, New York,  providing on-the-ground context.

Rob, Jessica, and Mike discuss:

  • behind-the-scenes exit interview anecdotes.
  • the leg design and wonder about the lack of detours, while also championing a more competitive shake-up in future seasons.
  • the need for harder tasks in the finale and ways to enhance the Cookie Monster challenge, like a cookie-making task and subway travel over taxis.
  • the cab driver factor, the logistics of repelling the Empire State Building, and the simplicity of the fabric-delivery challenge
  • the crossword puzzle task, pointing out its ease and lack of New York authenticity

The episode rounds out with reflections on the Big Brother crossover, season-long trends, standout teams, and speculation on future reality TV themes and contestants. Listen in for interview highlights, commentary on leg design, and hillarious banter!
