The Latest Episode of The Amazing Race Season 37: A Thumping Goodbye for Courtney and Jasmin

This week’s episode of The Amazing Race season 37 aired on CBS, whisking viewers back into the competitive adventure with the teams racing to Kyoto, Japan. With a total of 11 teams competing, the episode concluded with one team’s elimination, reducing the count to ten.

Race Highlights: Swift Trains and Tough Challenges

The excitement began as cast members encountered a choice to secure an Express Pass, enabling them to bypass a specific challenge. The duo Jonathan and Ana, alongside Lori and Scott, boarded the first bullet train to Kyoto, leaving their competitors to catch different trains at staggered times.

As the competition unfolded, the teams faced various trials, and it was Lori and Scott who managed to arrive first at the Pit Stop. Unfortunately, Courtney and Jasmin finished at the bottom, resulting in their elimination from the race.

Fan Reactions: Critiques and Sentiments

The viewers took to social media platforms to voice their opinions on Courtney and Jasmin’s departure from the series, offering a mix of critical observations about their gameplay. One user expressed:

“The problem with Courtney’s team is that they have no sense of urgency. They’re not acting like they’re in a race.”

Additional comments highlighted the perceived slow pace of the eliminated pair’s gameplay:

“Courtney and Jasmin seem like very nice people but they move backwards. That’s how SLOW they move in a race. They’re not the rabbit or the turtle; they’re the snails. It’s frustrating to watch them,”a fan commented.

“Even if Courtney and Jasmin were able to make some strides and overtake a team at the Detour, they’d probably get lost on the way to the Pit Stop and still lose,”another tweet read.

Despite the criticisms, some fans expressed their sadness at Courtney and Jasmin’s exit:

“Definitely will miss Courtney and Jasmin,”a follower wrote.

“Our story doesn’t end here. Sorry to see Courtney/Jasmin go,”another fan reflected.

Moreover, fans reflected on how their performance stood in contrast to previous teams:

“They seem nice enough but I don’t like watching the chronically behind teams like the nurses. If you’re gonna lag through the race, at least be entertaining like Dave & Mary or interesting like the Beekmans. They seem nice but won’t be missed,”one user noted.

The Crucial Roadblocks and Challenges

In this episode’s recap, we see that Courtney and Jasmin managed to reach the clue box after navigating their way onto the fourth bullet train to Kyoto. However, a misunderstanding regarding the decoding of their Omikuji clue derailed their efforts, as they were unaware that wetting the paper was essential to revealing their next destination, the Shiramine Jingu Shrine.

Subsequently, the team made their way to the Roadblock where Courtney attempted to master the traditional game of Kemari. Unfortunately, after failing to complete five successful passes, they slipped further behind as teams like Han and Holden overtook them in the race.

As they struggled through the Roadblock, it became evident that Courtney and Jasmin were in dire straits, especially after watching Bernie and Carrigain finish the task ahead of them. Consequently, they fell to the last position when they finally arrived at the Pit Stop—an unfortunate end to their journey.
