The Amazing Race Season 38 is humming along with former Big Brother Houseguests traveling all across Europe, and outside of some minor gripes, I’m enjoying it. That said, after seeing a couple of eliminations and how the game is proceeding through three legs, I once again have to talk about something I feel needs to change going forward.
Big Brother online every summer, it’s been interesting to see the alliance element from the other reality series bleed into The Amazing Race. It seems like a strategy that other future winners who want that prize money will pursue. However, I don’t support it and wish there was less support between teams overall. So, let’s discuss.
Jag and Jas Bains have the best odds of winning this season of The Amazing Race. Big Brother fans won’t be surprised by this, considering Jag is the record-holder for the most competition wins in a single season of the series.
I haven’t looked at any spoilers from this season, but I think it’s very easy to believe the Bains brothers will win it all based on what we’ve seen in the first three legs. Jag remains a competitive force to be reckoned with, as he ripped a goal on the hockey rink on his first shot, and gifted Stephanie and Natalie the win on their latest episode because her birthday is coming up.
Even with the strength of their alliance, they’re still the best team out of those three, and it’s only going to help carry them to the end, where they can steamroll their allies when the time comes. That’s just my opinion, though, and I’d love to be proven wrong and see an unexpected team rise to the top in The Amazing Race Season 38.
The Amazing Race continues on CBS on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET. I’m eager to see what else the 2025 TV schedule has cooked up for the fall season, but for now, watching former Big Brother players run around Europe is plenty of entertainment for me.
