The Amazing Race 38 Ep 2 Recap
Rob Cesternino, Jessica Liese, and Mike Bloom are back for another incredible journey around the world watching The Amazing Race! Our TAR experts will be back with a recap each and every week! Make sure to also tune into our weekly exit interview with the eliminated team.
Today, Rob, Jess, and Mike discuss episode 2 of The Amazing Race 38.
The Amazing Race 38 speeds through Prague in episode 2, with Rob Cesternino, Jessica Liese, and Mike Bloom breaking down all the action. From train station chaos to towering challenges, this episode showcases the unpredictable nature of the race and the impact of sleep deprivation on team performance.
The podcast dives into the unexpected turn of events when eight teams mistakenly disembarked at the wrong Berlin stop, leading to a scramble to reach Prague. This mistake reshuffled team placements and added an extra layer of drama to the leg. The hosts discuss how exhaustion played a significant role in team decision-making, particularly for Angela and Lexi, who were ultimately eliminated.
Rob, Jessica, and Mike discuss:
– Jag and Jazz’s continued dominance and strategic alliance-building
– Impact of sleep deprivation on team performance, especially for back-of-pack teams
– Megan and Matt’s narrow escape from elimination for the second leg in a row
– Teams adapting to memory-based challenges, with some excelling and others struggling
– Preview of next episode’s “Driver’s Seat” twist, allowing one team to assign tasks to others
As teams settle into the race, alliances are forming and strategies are evolving. Will Jag and Jazz’s early lead make them targets, or can they maintain their momentum? Tune in for a detailed analysis of each team’s performance and insights into the race dynamics shaping this season of The Amazing Race.
