Spoiler alert: This article contains important spoilers for the ones who are not stuck up with Season 33 of (*33*)The Amazing Race(*33*).(*33*)
The Amazing Race officially returned for a 33rd season on Jan. 5, and Eleven groups started the contest through touring from their respective hometowns to London, England.
The first 3 legs of the race were filmed in February of 2020 (only some weeks ahead of the COVID-19 lockdowns began in the United States). After a production shutdown took place, the rest teams returned to filming in September of 2021.
The season has been unique in some ways, however one thing will at all times stay the same: Host Phil Keoghan is aware of the best way to keep the audience on edge at the Pit Stops.
The longtime host has the facility to end a staff's race or to present the duos another probability at the $1 million prize. So, who has already been sent home on The Amazing Race?
After the race's third leg, 'The Amazing Race' went on hiatus for COVID-19.
In a historical season (like most 2020 and 2021 tv), The Amazing Race needed to pause the race for the first time ever in its 33 seasons.
Phil Keoghan addressed the remainder 9 teams after the 3rd leg in Glasgow. "We believe the best choice for all of us is to suspend the race,” he said. “In an ideal world, the planets will align, and we will pick this race back up again and hopefully have all of you starting the race again."
At the tip of the second one episode, simplest 5 teams seem to come again when the race alternatives up in Switzerland, because of this they lost 4 teams right through the hiatus. Phil nearly predicted it when he to begin with told the contestants, "We understand the sacrifices that all of you have made; I know to have you all come back and start on this race again would be challenging.”
The returning teams were Lulu and Lala, Kim and Penn, Akbar and Sheri, Ryan and Dusty, and Raquel and Cayla. During the hiatus, the teams we lost were Anthony and Spencer, Taylor and Isaiah, Connie and Sam, and Ray and Caro.
Although two teams had already been eliminated — Michael and Moe, and Arun and Natalia — both of those teams were welcome back when the race picked up in its third leg to make up for the four teams lost.
Here's every team that has been eliminated by coming in last place during an elimination leg since The Amazing Race picked back up after the 19-month COVID-19 hiatus.
1. Michael Norwood Jr. and Moe Badger
The Buffalo "Singing Cops" and friends became the unlucky first team to get eliminated after they arrived on the mat last during the initial London leg.
The pair spent a lot of time trying to figure out the Detour, which ultimately cost them their shot at the $1 million prize.
But Michael and Moe make it back into the competition after the Amazing Race hiatus. Unfortunately, while completing the belt task in Switzerland, the pair realize they did theirs completely backward! As a result, they're eliminated first ... yet again.
2. Akbar and Sheridan Cook
On the French island of Corsica, Akbar and Sheri Cook passed the first detour with flying colors but ran into a Road Block that included jumping into a river through caves to the next clue. Then, teams were directed to go to the Calacuccia Dam. Once there, they had to pump up a kayak and paddle their way to the pit stop. Sadly, Akbar and Sheridan showed up last, and host Phil Keoghan confirmed they were eliminated.
3. Lulu and Lala Gonzalez
Lulu and Lala were the fan-favorite twins and radio stars, but now, they've been eliminated during the race's eighth leg. Unfortunately for them, the leg in Greece was just not their jam. They sped through the first Road Block but got so lost on the way to the next one that they ended up accidentally at the pitstop.
When they finally found the souvlaki stand, they took longer than any other team to figure out that the clue was in the souvlaki's wrapping. This set them back far enough to be eliminated.
One team that hasn't been eliminated, but is worth mentioning as a major underdog is Arun and Natalia. This father-daughter pair is now the cat with nine lives. After the most recent non-elimination round, Phil racked his brain to figure out if any team had been given more "second" possibilities.
They have been the second one staff eliminated ahead of the COVID-19 hiatus, and then they got here in last throughout both non-elimination legs. Will the next leg be their downfall?
The Amazing Race airs on Wednesdays at Nine p.m. EST on CBS.
