Han and Holden survive elimination despite being the last team to reach the Pit Stop in The Amazing Race season 37, week 9
In The Amazing Race season 37's latest episode, the remaining teams began their Naples leg of the race together as they wandered through the city attempting to complete their challenges.
The contestants were tasked with taking a taxi to Castel Sant'Elmo, where they received their next clue. Han and Holden were amongst the first teams to find it and made their way to the Pulcinella Statue. The two of them, along with Jonathan and Ana, were in the lead. However, by choosing different Detours, Han and Holden lost their lead during the mozzarella task.
As part of the Mozzerella detour, they had to make six twists of the cheese. The two found themselves at the bottom by the end of the task, as the other The Amazing Race season 37 teams finished the detour before them. When they made their way to the Montesanto Quarter, they learned they had to deliver groceries and were the last team to get started on the task.
Carson and Jack, and Brett and Mark were the first teams to arrive at the next location and learned of a Roadblock challenge. The task required one member of the team to make a pizza from scratch. Carson and Brett take on the task, followed by Ana and Alyssa. Meanwhile, Han and Holden were still completing the Detour task.
The completion of the Roadblock enabled the teams to move to the latest pit stop in The Amazing Race season 37. While Jonathan and Ana finished first, Han and Holden were the last team to arrive. However, the host surprised them by revealing that the episode was a non-elimination leg of the race and that everyone was moving on.
Fans of the CBS show commented on the non-elimination leg of the race online and were divided by Han and Holden still being on the show.
