Amazing Race 32 - Premieres October 14, 2020

Stupid alliances. Will and James have easily become villains this season. I agree that the movie set did in Leo & Alana and with the blondes it was a smart move to yield them as it was close to the end of the leg. I'd love to see the race figure out some way to stop the alliances though. That decent challenge could've been a game changer as teams struggle to figure it all out.

CTV only aired one episode last night. It looks like the second episode "Give Me a Beard Bump" will be on CTV Tuesday night.

Next week will be another double episode, but it appears that CTV will be simulcasting with CBS for those.

Pulling for the blondes, but I think that every team in that alliance will use their yields to make sure they are top 5 like they planned.


Yielding Alana and Leo was fair game, just like it was when Leo didn't tell them the answer for the unscrambling letters challenge - either team couldn't risk coming in last.



Will and James played this last leg pretty masterfully. Finished 1st, played a big part in getting rid of one team outside their alliance while getting the other team to burn their yield. Keeping having that yield for the next leg would've been super helpful, it's now 1 against 5.

[GirlySports]

I don't think it'll be 1 against 5. First of all, you'd want to keep the Blondies in the race and knock out one of the others out. Will and James were mad at Leo and Alana, and they're out. Eswar & Aparna might as well not be in the alliance, they ask no questions and get no help from anyone. DeAngelo asks all the questions and gets all the help. I feel from the preview scenes, the alliance will break apart.

#### Will and James. What an irritating team.

[GirlySports]

Remember to PVR the 2nd hour tonight, I had to manually set it.
CTV's scheduling is whack!

Agree, really hoping for the parents. Blondes second, sure they've gotten lucky a lot, brother and sister third. Boyfriends and Football players least favorite.

We caught up on all episodes last night and couldn't believe the sisters driving around lost for over 6 hours...

[savardandjokinen]

Well only the mine five remains, I think it’s being set up for an obvious final three and this season has been predictable. Similar to big brother 22

MEGA LEG!!! This week, the teams head to India for a double-leg with no Pit Stop in the middle.

HOUR ONE:

"Who yielded us?"
"Bitches."

HOUR TWO:

"The beards yielded us?"
"Bitches."

"The Mine Five? They had a name?"

I have no memory of them ever being called "The Mine Five", then this week, that's all anyone is talking about. Weird.

I wonder if Eswar & Aparna even remembered they were supposedly in an alliance?

For the alliance of three, this is like playing the game on easy mode.

I'm good with the NFL players or Eswar and Aparna winning at this point, they probably have no idea that the other three are plotting together.

[brocoli]

Not much drama on that leg, but the blondes took it all in stride. I'm finding this season beyond frustrating with the alliance, so i'm hoping that these upcoming legs where they have to turn on each other that it finally has some much needed drama.

Doubt it. 95% chance the football players go out next as they will get U-Turned for sure if they dont get to the board first. How dumb is it that the 3 strongest teams are helping each other so that they can lose in the finale. In a normal season, you'd want the Blondies in the finale. I mean yielding the weakest team twice? That's insanity.

[WhiteTiger]

Well, I might not have chosen them for my team, but I sure ended up rooting for them. But you can't count solely on luck to get you through, it'll run out soon. I kinda felt that the double yield was a bit much, though. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure they'd have gone much further. They are tenacious, but they weren't very good.

I'd like to see the football players and the boyfriends go out, and that'd leave a 'good' final 3, imo.

[mile]

DeAngelo was so stubborn during that road block, infuriating.

Thought him and Gary should've U-turned another team when it happened, but U-turning Eswar and Aparna was the right decision in hindsight. They would've been eliminated otherwise.

[WhiteTiger]

I still don't get it. Read the whole clue/message, watch the whole demonstration. I mean, this seems like basic, basic stuff, but teams constantly screw this up. So frustrating to watch.

Not a bad leg, though.

[Fuzz]

Is it me, or has the challenge level gone waaaay down? The tile thing was easy if you watched, and pulling in a fish net? Come on. Even the garden was straight forward.


It was really cool to see Siem Reap again though, I was there a few years ago. Incredible place.

I thought that a bit too about this leg...but I'm wondering if it's 'cause they Mega-Leg'ed them last week, and weren't sure how the racers would react/what shape they'd be in and they wanted to cover their bases.

[getbak]

This week, the teams head to Cambodia. Eswar & Arpana get U-Turned; DeAngelo doesn't watch the tile maker; and we're down to the final 4.

Once again, I'm sure the edit made the race to the finish look a lot closer than it was.

I have to agree with Arpana that U-Turning them wasn't the smart move. The two teams should have U-Turned Hung & Chee and Will & James. It likely would have guaranteed one of them going home. The only danger there would have been if Hung & Chee and Will & James had already passed the U-Turn, but I don't think there's any chance they wouldn't have used it, so it was a low risk.


DeAngelo definitely isn't the pay attention to details guy, and it almost killed them this time. It was also a problem in Berlin, but they weren't really at risk of elimination there. It also may not have been their choice in Berlin because the clue seemed to indicate there was a weight limit for the wall walk and I believe Gary is the heaviest person on the race (his playing weight was 250 lbs.).

Next week, we head to the Philippines and will get down to the Final 3. Will the Alliance all make it or can Gary & DeAngelo push their way in?

[savardandjokinen]

Whatever, Eswar and Aparna weren’t deserving winners anyways but I stg Will and James better not win.

They’ve been the team that’s benefitted the most by this alliance. I think the other 3 teams could win without this alliance

[Johnny Makarov]

This season has been terrible. So boring with this alliance.

If Che didn't help him Deangelo he would still be in Germany to this day trying to descramble sauerkraut.
