Peridiam Talks The Amazing Race 38 Ep 8

Mike Bloom welcomes Peridiam for a Big Brother–flavored breakdown of The Amazing Race 38, diving into both the season and Peridiam’s personal history with the show. Peridiam explains that TAR was his “original darling” of the CBS trifecta—something he watched from the very beginning before drifting away and then binge-reigniting his fandom in the mid-2010s with his wife, now the bigger TAR fan. Though best known for his Big Brother and Survivor coverage, he’s touched TAR only occasionally, including a Season 5 recap once shown by Colin and Christie to their family.

From the BB perspective, Peridiam rates TAR 38 slightly above average, enjoying how knowing the alumni elevates the season. He highlights dominant frontrunners Jag & Jazz and Tucker & Eric, praises the entertainment value of teams like Izzy & Paige, and roots for pairs such as Joseph & Adam. He and Mike also unpack odd strategic decisions, early exits, and the looming double U-turn—where old BB tensions could finally resurface.
