The Amazing Race Review, Season 22, Episode 3
“Like James Bond Again”
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
When 58-year-old David O’Leary apparently ruptured his Achilles tendon at the end of last week’s leg, his quick departure felt certain. How could he possibly continue? The guy is in excellent shape, but this type of injury is no joke. The Amazing Race requires great stamina and speed, and there’s little chance he can skip every physical challenge. This week, the doctors confirm that David ruptured his Achilles and the muscle around it, so they seem doomed. However, crutches and a walking boot allow him to continue. They’re living on borrowed time, but it’s remarkable they can even keep going. John and Jessica help out with the Express Pass, which sends them first to the mat. The young couple wisely sees a solution to their dilemma with handing out the prize.

As humans, we all have a fear or something, whether it be closed spaces, heights, snakes, etc. What would you do and how would you react if you had to confront that fear on a show like The Amazing Race, with $1 million at stake?
That's exactly what the first eliminated team, Idries and Jamil, went through during their brief time this season. This begs the question: Is there a chance to succeed on the show if you have a fear of something? And why would you even compete in the first place?...

The Amazing Race Review, Season 22, Episode 2
“Loose Lips Sink Ships”
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
When did taking the penalty become so common on The Amazing Race? Two episodes into this season, players seem very interested in avoiding tasks. Idries and Jamil barely slip into the water and they’re ready to take a six-hour penalty. Their fear of water and limited swimming abilities make diving for pearls nearly impossible. While their struggles are understandable, they seem far too willing to give up right away. They eventually give the Detour a shot, but it’s their passive approach that raises warning signs. By the time they switch to the other option, the gap is too large. Apparently, picking them to win the race was not a wise idea. They’re hardly the only players who struggle, however. Three teams took a penalty last week, and several others grumble through this leg.

The water challenge proved to be the downfall for The Amazing Race competitors Idries and Jamil Abdur-Rahman in Sunday night's episode. The Chicago-based brothers, 35, were eliminated in the second leg of the CBS reality competition's 22th cycle. The leg included a detour that called for the teams to harvest pearls from oysters or dive to the ocean floor to collect a trunk and use the contents inside to construct an underwater picnic table.

“The Amazing Race 22” kicked off Sunday night, and it only took one plane trip to give birth to the season’s first alliance.
Whoever won the first leg of the race got an Express Pass for themselves, but also an express pass to give away to another team. Twins Idries and Jamil pitched an idea for an alliance with Jessica and John, a couple from L.A. “So what we’re thinking, basically, whoever comes in second, the first just gives it to them automatically," they suggested.
But when Jessica and John won, they weren’t too keen on keeping their word. “Although we want to stay true to our word, but at the same time, we want to play the game smart. We don’t want to just hand over advantages to other teams,” John said.
"We agreed to give up the second pass, but not immediately," he continued.

“Business in the Front, Party in the Back”
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
Each new premiere of The Amazing Race brings its own share of excitement and questions. Will the cast have exciting characters? Will the challenges stand apart from the standard formula? Will the producers offer new twists that change the game? All three of these boxes haven’t been checked as often in recent seasons. There have been thrilling challenges and standout players, yet the results have been inconsistent. This new group is filled with lively teams that have their own unique stories, but the challenges dominate the opener. A brutal Roadblock pushes three pairs to take a four-hour penalty and choose a dangerous boat race to the Pit Stop. While the risk pays off for two of them, it sends firefighters Matthew and Daniel right to elimination. The well-meaning...

Amazing Race 22 Preview
Airs Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
Premieres February 17
Can The Amazing Race still be surprising? With the long-running reality competition entering its 22nd season, the chance for major changes seems unlikely. There will be unpredictable moments, but the overall structure remains the same. The producers have tried to throw in new twists to liven up the game, but they’re one-time events that rarely make a dent. For example, last season upped the ante to $2 million, but only for the team that won the opening leg. Once Abbie and Ryan left the game, that move disappeared from memory.
Even without structural changes, there’s still plenty to like with this show. It’s consistently entertaining and sends its 11 teams through difficult challenges all over the world. The set-up is so good that it’s impossible not to wish for the best from every season. So much...
