Creature from the Zach Lagoon

Fly over the Finish Line quitting, as we are back for our first ever season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race 3! Over these thirteen weeks, three people who regularly lower the bar on who can podcast - Logan, Michael & Michelle - have been recapping the season, concluding with the final leg and unveiling of Flo & Zach as our winners!
In this episode, we celebrate Christmas a bit early, the finale is particularly packed with travel, Logan explains why some countries need you to have a ticket to enter an airport, we reminisce about Zoom, Ken & Gerard have a detour of their own, Michael finds another Flo-Brooke comparison, Michelle learns about early-2000s rock music, we wonder if Flo & Zach would be edited differently in 2021, there's a PSA for potential trolls, we explain who would win a jury vote and there's a bit of discussion about what is next for the podcast.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Logan, Michael & Michelle directly! Thank you for listening - we will see you very soon for more episodes!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5. These episodes do skirt the lines of spoilers a little more than normal, due to the slightly more...infamous aspects of the season. However, this doesn't matter as the season is done!
Additional note: Only two more episodes remain this year! "Two?!", you say? Two.

A Passive Day in the Neighbourhood

Hide your contempt for both those around you and Belgium, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over these nine weeks, two guys who would never accept being your Sloppy Thirds - Logan & Michael - are looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, continuing with the eighth episode and elimination of...nobody?
In this episode, we try and pick through the carcass of an episode that features both the first and third challenge, we wonder whether Painted Hills was wasted, Michael reveals the answer to a question he posed weeks ago, Logan offers some fashion critiques, we wonder how we'd forgotten about Jochem's portrayal of homosexuality, we question whether Jochem winning an exemption is a worst case scenario, Michael pitches a classic challenge for the Final Four Exemption, we reveal our pre-execution suspects and the fourth-placer gets eulogised as a bonus at the end of the episode.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael & Logan directly! We will see you next week for the final episode of the year!
Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. As a one-off, due to the nature of the ending of this episode, we do eulogise the player who should have gone home in this episode in a spoiler section this week - beginning at 35:45! Any season we have already covered (18-21; Renaissance) are fair game though - and as someone from this season did appear on Renaissance, there may be some references to their placement in that season.
Additional note: Have you got Christmas sorted yet? You probably should get on that...
