Episode 10 of The Amazing Race Season 37 took place in Strasbourg, France, where the remaining five teams competed in a series of challenges. The first challenge was a water jousting contest, where teams had to knock each other off their boats using a lance. Han and Holden quickly took the lead, while Brett and Mark struggled, ultimately receiving a 10-minute penalty.
Next, the teams faced a cheese identification task. They had to identify various French cheeses, which proved difficult due to the language barrier and the subtle flavors. Josiah and Alyssa considered using their Express Pass and eventually did, but only after other teams had already progressed. Jonathan's harsh criticism of Ana during this challenge created tension within their team.
Ultimately, Carson and Jack finished first, followed by Josiah and Alyssa, Jonathan and Ana, and Han and Holden. Brett and Mark arrived last and were eliminated from the competition. The remaining four teams will compete in the two-part finale.
The episode highlighted the importance of teamwork, communication, and adaptability in the face of challenges. It also demonstrated how strategic decisions, such as when to use an Express Pass, can impact a team's success.
