CBS' The Amazing Race returned for an all-new episode on Wednesday night, November 2, 2022, and it was nothing short of entertaining. The remaining seven teams made their way to France for the new leg of the race.

Sadly, after facing an accident mid-way through, Glenda and Lumumba were the ones who got eliminated this week, and viewers aren't happy about it.

Newlyweds Glenda and Lumumba Roberts have been fan favorites since The Amazing Race premiered earlier this year with Season 34. Since they were the last team to arrive in the previous episode, they left 45 minutes after everyone else this week.

Although they tried their best to make up time and join the rest of the team members, they were met with an unexpected accident that took some time off their hands again. From there on, no matter how hard they tried, the couple wasn't able to catch up with the rest of The Amazing Race contestants and once again arrived last at the pit stop.


Fans unhappy about Glenda and Lumumba's elimination from The Amazing Race, season 34:

Taking to Twitter, fans shared that the newly-wed couple would be missed. A few also claimed that they needed to see more of Glenda and Lumumba and urged The Amazing Race to add them to their All-Star team so they could get another chance to compete.


Here's more information on what happened this week on The Amazing Race, season 34:

This week, the teams faced a Roadblock and Detour as per usual.

For the Roadblock, the teams had to travel to France. Titled, Who Wants to Climb the Family Tree?, the task required one member from each team to study a lineage of a family crest. Then the teams had to rappel down a castle and take a memory test. Once completed, the teams got the clue to their next challenge.

To find the next clue after their Roadblock, the teams had to drive themselves down to La Ferme de Turnac. It was during this drive that Glenda and Lumumba met with a minor accident after the former backed up their car into a nearby ditch.

For their Detour, the teams had to choose between Walnut Cracker and Medieval Gamer. In Walnut Cracker, the teams had to break, grind and press walnuts in order to retrieve oil. For Medieval Gamer, the teams had to complete three games.

Ultimately, Michael and Marcus were able to beat the rest and arrive first at the pit stop. Sadly, after facing multiple issues, Glenda and Lumumba were the ones who arrived last, and got eliminated as a result.


The Amazing Race Season 34 airs every Wednesday night at 9 pm ET only on CBS. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
