We Don‘t Talk About The Glitter Slut...

It's Bungee Baby, as we are back for our first ever season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race 3! Over these thirteen weeks, three people who are all trying to stop their families using the phone lines while they podcast - Logan, Michael & Michelle are recapping the season, continuing with the ninth leg and second non-elimination leg of the season!
In this episode, we wonder if this is the only season with good Switzerland legs, Michael works out why the episodes aired in the format they did, Phil becomes obsessed with Flo & Drew, we wonder if Michelle hates the phone calls home, the editors start to undermine Flo, we question whether we would have got the bungee jump forewarning scene in a more modern season, we explain our bungee jump stories, Michelle provides the woman's perspective, there's a lot of praise for the T-Phone task, we wonder if John Vito & Jill got to call home, Logan debuts an impression, Phil is actually having fun now, there are some wildly impractical clothing choices, Michelle gets to rant, Logan explains the reaction to the check-in scene and we explain what reputation this leg has - nineteen years later.
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 next week for Leg 10!
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.
Additional note: Next week, we cover a really iconic leg. Strap in - it's a fun one!

Quantify It For Me!

Put on your running shoes and race a bald eagle, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over these nine weeks, two guys who put the "Wild" into Wild West - Logan & Michael - are looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, continuing with the fourth episode and elimination of Sigrid. For the second week in a row, we're also joined by our good friend David Bindley for this episode!
In this episode, no-one has ever heard of Pendleton, Michael contemplates a trigger warning, we reluctantly dive into Logan's video collection (and thoroughly clean ourselves afterwards), Imanuelle requires two-factor authentication on a bond, we look at whether WIDM is the only version that cares about the Treasurer, Bindles explains how many Fs he's given out, we wonder if jokers are actually valuable, Logan has a potential connection to the season, Jeroen uses the auction challenge as an audition, Michael is like the auctioneer, Sigrid challenges for the title of most heartbroken eliminated contestant, there's a very sneaky editor's joke, we lock in our fourth set of suspicions and there's a very good reason we can't speculate on what happens next week.
You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & YouTube or you can tweet Michael, Logan & Bindles directly! We will see you next week!
Please note: This season is intended on being spoiler-free, so please watch the episodes along with us. Unlike our previous trips back to Mole History, this season does not feature a spoiler section at the end of the podcast, as Logan hasn't seen it! 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: Oh, this episode was a stinker... All up from here though!

The Climbs of Grindelwald

Wish someone a "sorry, kisses, bye!", as we are back for our first ever season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race 3! Over these thirteen weeks, three people who would never make up scurilous rumours about teams on the Amazing Race - Logan, Michael & Michelle are recapping the season, continuing with the eighth leg and first non-elimination leg of the season!
In this episode, we wonder whether this is a rare non-rubbish Switzerland leg, Michelle says "hay", Michael spots another editing change, we wonder if John Vito & Jill skirted the rules, a story gets told that could get someone in trouble, the two teams of brothers are contrasted again, no-one says "may be eliminated", we extol the virtues of the title quote, there's a look ahead to a small tantrum and we wonder how close the footrace really was.
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 next week for Leg 9! As mentioned in the episode, we are covering Legs 9 & 10 and 12 & 13 in separate episodes despite them airing as pairs.
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.
Additional note: Switzerland might be a horrendously over-rated country for Amazing Race, but this leg was really good!

Bond Safe Word

Try to be less vulnerable and more suspicious, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over these nine weeks, two guys who you would never find dressed as a chess piece on national television - Logan & Michael - are looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, continuing with the third episode and elimination of Roos. As a special treat, we're also joined by our good friend David Bindley for this episode!
In this episode, Bindles goes full Australian, we wonder if a rule was implemented because of this group, we question whether Jeroen would steal a Mole book, Michael explains why it's not too far-fetched for a clue to be on the money, we work out what our symbols would be, we try and guess what they drew for Sigrid, Logan tries to interpret a clue, we have some insider information for next week, there's the third set of suspicions and Bindles finally gets a catchphrase.

Switzerland on the Brain

Give Phil his dollar back, as we are back for our first ever season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race 3! Over these thirteen weeks, three people who would never deliberately hit their partner when opening a clue - Logan, Michael & Michelle are recapping the season, continuing with the seventh leg and elimination of Andre & Damon!
In this episode, Michael & Michelle celebrate 100 episodes together, Kasperle is creepy, we spot an easy choice between Paris & Zurich, we wonder whether teams could have used trains instead of flying, there's more praise of Flo's language skills, Michael wonders if the clue writers were being a bit passive-aggressive, the villains of the season emerge, we look at whether the Fast Forward this leg would ever be done again, Logan shares his memories of Derek & Drew's navigational blow-up, Andre & Damon get eulogised and we ask whether this leg was meant to be a non-elimination.

Additional note: Every episode this season is a stone-cold classic. Yes, even the Mexico ones.

A Very Deceitful Loophole

Whip out your desktop computer, because we are back for our second season of new/old Wie is de Mol recaps! Over these nine weeks, two guys who always follow the person screaming at the top of their lungs - Logan & Michael - are looking back on our second old season of Wie is de Mol - 2017's offering in Oregon, continuing with the second episode and elimination of Yvonne.
In this episode, Michael starts the episode a little bit distracted, we discuss an idea that we had briefly in 2020, the forgotten next step after "No Child Left Behind" is revealed, we try not to rehash a rant we've had a lot this year, Logan tells his typewriter story, Michael does an investigation on the sheer quantity of advantages available in this episode, Imanuelle absolutely owns our hearts following a barnstorming performance in the laser game, we critique some breakfast orders, Jeroen & Roos have no incentive to lie and Logan tries to predict who will go home next, who beat Yvonne on time and who the Mole is.

The Flo-nly One

In this episode, we discuss the most iconic moment of the sixth leg, Michael spots an error, Phil is obsessed with Teri & Ian being ancient, we wonder why "Team 911" has disappeared again, a future Racer may have learned the wrong lesson from this episode, there's some more delicious foreshadowing, we try and work out whether Zach should have stayed silent over the Fast Forward, Teri is a trailblazer, we discuss the infamous Floadblock, the Andre & Damon arrest scene is even tougher to watch nineteen years later, we look at Aaron & Arianne's bio, we look forward to next week's very fun episode and we wonder whether current teams would get a time credit if they were detained nowadays.

Additional note: None of us expected this season to be so fun six episodes in - strap in for the remaining seven legs!
