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.

Brice and Brooke are back at the Pitstop, and Amazing Race Season 38, Episode 8 had the teams scrambling, searching, and straight-up cracking under the pressure! Bucharest was the backdrop, but those giant eggs were the real stars as racers hunted through piles of painted shells in one of the season’s funniest and most frustrating Roadblocks yet. Between hauling oversized eggs across the park, navigating Romania without taxis, and trying to keep cool while the Race turned up the heat, this leg delivered tension, teamwork, and a whole lot of comedy. It’s messy, it’s egg-centric, and it’s exactly the kind of Amazing Race chaos we live for — let’s get into it!

MC said in her final words, “I know people saw me as a physical threat and that made them want to vote me out.” But was that the actual reason? Especially when she was up against fellow challenge beast Sophie with a lot of things happening leading up to that split Tribal Council. Survivor 46’s Liz Wilcox joins David Bloomberg to discuss all of it and get to the real answers. Because at RHAP, we know Survivor, and we know Why MC Lost.
