They had one last week when they all flew to Croatia from Czechia... The bunch-up didn't last long. The top teams are just so much stronger than the bottom group. Once Jack & Chelsie and Izzy & Paige are gone, the race should be much more competitive.

I suspect they'll all fly to Romania together next week.

Also, since they teased a non-elimination this week, and it looks like Romania is the final destination where there's going to be 2 episodes in the same country, I expect next week will be a non-elimination/continue racing/MEGALEG.

"You're not a gentleman."

This week, the teams travel to Romania. Tucker & Eric continue to dominate with Jas & Jag close behind.

Joseph & Adam take the final seats on the early flight, leaving Natalie & Stephanie to fly on the later flight. The sisters struggle and fall behind. They get ahead of Izzy & Paige, but Izzy & Paige choose the better detour option, which allows them to pull ahead on the race to the pit stop.

Natalie & Stephanie come in last and they are going home.

Next week, the race continues in Romania. Jas & Jag and Kyland & Taylor still have Express Passes that must be used by the end of the next leg, which should allow one of them to break Tucker & Eric's stranglehold on the top spot.

"Thank you chicken. I love chickens."

This week, the race continues in Romania. Jas & Jag and Kyland & Taylor both must use their Express Passes before the end of the leg, so they each skip one of the challenges.

Izzy & Paige have their best leg of the race so far and jump into 4th place.

Joseph & Adam fall behind on the first challenge of the leg and aren't able to catch up. They come in last, but are saved by the non-elimination leg.

Next week, the race continues in Greece and there's a live Double U-Turn vote.

[getbak]

"What's his name, Syphilis?"

This week, the teams travel the Athens, the birthplace of democracy, for a double triple U-Turn vote. The three strongest teams get U-Turned, but it doesn't really slow down Jas & Jag or Tucker & Eric... but memorizing the Greek alphabet does slow Tucker & Eric down.

Jas & Jag cruise to another win, despite the U-Turn. The alphabet is all Greek to Tucker and he struggles to complete it as all the other teams pass him. The powerhouse brothers come in last and now it's anyone's game... to lose to Jas & Jag.

Next week, the race continues in Italy.

[csnarpy]

I have to say that the olive judge had the best reactions and attitude that I’ve seen on any judge prior.

[Superflyer]

Tucker and Eric being out is huge, they were a crazy strong team. Now they need to get rid of Jas and Jag

He was the opposite of the guy in Prague who kept silently stamping NO to the Globetrotters because they couldn't unscramble the word FRANZ (ended up taking a 4-hour penalty).

[Amethyst]

Well that's the end of that. I think I ended up with Eric and Tucker in the second draft because their names got cut off in some of the earlier posts. I appreciate them giving me such a competitive choice up until now.

Crazy that both Eric and Tucker and Jas and Jag finished both sides of the detour before other teams finished one.

Also amazed that Jack and Chelsie somehow are still in it.

[getbak]

"Die the Italian way, not the English way."

This week, the teams travel to Milan. Kyland & Taylor are unable to get on the early flight, which puts them an hour behind the other teams to start. Adam struggles with the heat and his blood sugar, but manages to fight through it. Izzy & Paige have their strongest leg, and Jas & Jag continue to be running away with it.

Jack & Chelsie's race-long struggles with navigation finally catch up with them, and they're going home.

Next week, the racers travel to France.

Jas and Jag are dominating. They finished this leg while most were still 2 challenges behind. Unfortunately, they will get bunched up again at the start of the next leg.

If they didn't have equalizers, they'd be 3 episodes ahead by this point haha.

[getbak]

"You're all so pretty, I just blacked out."

This week, the teams race to Paris and visit many of the biggest attractions in the city. Once again, Jas & Jag breeze to an easy win. Kyland & Taylor make up time at the Moulin Rouge and easily finish second.

The episode ends with the fate of Joseph & Adam and Izzy & Paige still undetermined. One will be going to the finale and the other will be going home.

Next week, the teams finally leave Europe and return to the US for the finale in New York City.

[csnarpy]

Jas & Jag not sure if they are 1st or 4th. They were probably 2 hours ahead of everyone… definitely the strongest team this year.

[getbak]

"Cookie Monster said our names!"

This week, the race concluded in New York City... but first, Izzy & Paige needed to get eliminated in Paris. Then, the final three teams headed to the final leg.

I have to commend the editors for making it seem like it was close even though Jas & Jag took a big early lead and never came close to giving it up. I wonder how far ahead they were in the end?

7 first place finishes (really 8 because they stepped aside to let Natalie & Stephanie win Leg #3) and they never finished worse than 5th (and that was a leg where there were still 10 teams left).

I think Tucker & Eric were the only other team that had a chance to win, but the Greek alphabet was their undoing.

1. Jas & Jag
2. Kyland & Taylor
3. Joseph & Adam
4. Izzy & Paige
5. Jack & Chelsie
6. Tucker & Eric
7. Natalie & Stephanie
8. Kristine & Rubina
9. Hannah & Simone
10. Kat & Alex

Congrats to our pool winners...

1. Jas & Jag: csnarpy / trackercowe
2. Kyland & Taylor: Russic / Hockey
3. Joseph & Adam: ClubFlames / Cheese

If I never hear the words "Big Brother" ever again, it will be too soon.

[Cheese]

Really deserving winners and it really seems like they are great humans as well!
They really showed what teamwork is all about!

/Edit

In The Amazing Race Season 38 finale, Jas and Jag Bains finished just seconds ahead of the second-place team, Kyland Young and Taylor Hale — it was a super close finish down to the wire at the final Pit Stop in Yankee Stadium.


The exact number of seconds hasn’t been officially published, but multiple recaps (including contestant interviews) emphasize that the gap was measured in seconds, not minutes — a true nail-biter.
