What happened on The Amazing Race episode 9
The Amazing Race is a reality competition series in which teams of two race across the world, completing tasks in each location to avoid elimination. Season 37 features five remaining teams navigating international cities, with the latest leg taking place in Naples, Italy. In each episode, teams face a series of physical and mental challenges that determine their placement and fate in the game.
In The Amazing Race episode 9, the five remaining teams traveled to Naples, Italy. All teams began on the same flight and made their way to Castel Sant’Elmo. The first task required locating the Pulcinella Statue, which caused some teams to fall behind, including Jonathan & Ana. They later chose the Mandolin Detour and completed it efficiently due to Jonathan’s musical experience.
Jonathan and Ana were the first to reach the delivery task in the Montesanto Quarter, finishing it before the others. Ana subsequently tackled the Roadblock, which required her to prepare a pizza from scratch. She succeeded on her first attempt, allowing the team to reach the Pit Stop at Castel Nuovo in first place. Their performance earned them a trip to Mexico City, Mexico.
Brett and Mark secured second place, with Alyssa and Josiah in third, and Carson and Jack following. Han and Holden came in fifth, but this leg was non-elimination.
Despite winning the leg, viewer reactions to Jonathan’s participation continue to generate negative attention, highlighting an ongoing divide between competition results and public perception.
