You can't take it
away from them.
Good Morning Amazing Race Fans. I bet you thought you were done with me, but it’s time for some Monday Morning Quarterbacking.
The discussion around the watercooler today is where did various teams actually lose the race and if a favorite duo had made it to the last leg could it have won.
Grab a donut and a cup of coffee, here we go.
Of our final three, where did the non-winners fall out of contention?
| Got thoughts? Post them at the end. |
The Globetrotters never did fall out of contention. The big men lost the race in the heavy cross-winds on the Old Seven Mile Bridge. One of them even said that the bridge was actually seven miles long and they lost it at mile two. That’s the where.

Zev and Justin clearly lost the race at the samba challenge.
There used to be a rule about dividing up the Roadblocks between the two team members.
