Alright, listen up, y’all! Let me tell ya ’bout this Amazing Race Season 36. I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it!
So, they started off down in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta to be exact. Hot place, I reckon. Then them folks, 13 teams of ’em, two to a team, they went gallivantin’ all over creation. Colombia, Chile, Argentina… places I only heard of in them picture books.
- Mexico, that’s where it all kicked off.
- Then they went down to South America. Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and even Uruguay. Fancy names, huh?
- Heard they even hopped over to some islands. Barbados and the Dominican Republic, they called ’em. Never been myself.
- And wouldn’t ya know it, they ended up back in America, Philadelphia. Guess they got tired of all that travelin’.
Now, this ain’t your regular race, mind you. They had to do all sorts of crazy things. Like, runnin’ around and solvin’ puzzles, and eatin’ weird foods. I tell ya, I’d be lost as a goose in a snowstorm!
One fella, Shawn King, he messed up his shoulder somethin’ fierce. Surfin’, they said. Surfin’! I ain’t never seen a surfboard up close, but sounds like dangerous business to me. Poor fella. Hope he got fixed up alright.
This season, they say it was a “covid” season. Whatever that means. Said things were kinda weird, the way they set it all up. Not like the other races, I guess. But still, they were racin’ for money, see? Everybody got some, even if they didn’t win the big prize. That’s somethin’, ain’t it?
Heard some folks complainin’ that they didn’t go ’round the whole world. Stayed mostly in the Americas. But hey, that’s still a long ways, if you ask me. And them Dominican Republic and Barbados places? First time they ever went there on this show. So that’s somethin’ new, right?
I watched some of them episodes. One time they were in the Dominican Republic, messin’ with cocoa beans. “My Precious Cacao,” they called the episode. Sounded like somethin’ outta a fairy tale. But it was just them teams doin’ more crazy challenges. Two roadblocks, whatever that means.
They got this fella, Phil Keoghan, he’s the host. Been doin’ it for years, I hear. He seems like a nice fella, always explainin’ what’s goin’ on. Though sometimes I still don’t understand half of it!
This Amazing Race Season 36… it was somethin’ else. Lots of runnin’, lots of yellin’, lots of drama. Just like real life, I reckon, but with more cameras and prettier scenery. I ain’t sure I’d wanna do it myself, all that travelin’ and stress. But it sure is fun to watch from my couch! Makes you think about all them places out there you ain’t never seen. Maybe one day I’ll get to see ’em… maybe not. But for now, I got my stories, and I got this here Amazing Race to keep me entertained.
And that’s all I gotta say about that.
