"I'm gonna lose it" — The Amazing Race fans react to Carson struggling to make pizzas

The Amazing Race season 37 returned with another leg, where the teams raced against each other in Naples, Italy. Released on April 30, 2025, the episode saw the five remaining teams putting forth their best efforts to outdo one another and be the first to reach the Pit Stop. However, they encountered numerous obstacles along the way. Carson nearly jeopardized his team's chances as he struggled to make pizzas.

In the latest episode, titled The Pizza de Résistance, the teams had to complete a Roadblock before heading to the Pit Stop to complete the leg. To finish the Roadblock, one member from each team was tasked with making pizzas from scratch. Only after receiving the chef's approval could they proceed and prepare to arrive at the Pit Stop.

Carson volunteered to make the pizza but faced difficulties in gaining the chef's approval. Despite starting early compared to some of the other teams, Carson and his teammate, Jack, fell behind, putting themselves at risk of elimination.

Fans of The Amazing Race on X commented on Carson's performance, worrying that it might lead to his and Jack's elimination from the competition. While many expressed their nervousness watching Carson struggle to make a pizza, others hoped it wouldn’t jeopardize their standing in the contest.

"if Jack and Carson get taken out by pizza, I’m gonna lose it," a fan wrote.

"Jack & Carson…please DO NOT scare us like that again. Get back into the top 3!!" another fan commented.

"Carson lock in with your pizza making skills! (I think pizza guy hates him at this point)" a netizen tweeted.

Many fans of The Amazing Race were concerned that Carson's repeated failure to gain the chef's approval would lead to their elimination. However, Carson was able to finish the Roadblock just in time.

"It is not that hard to make that pizza. Now cmon bro," a user reacted.

"Carson, no Detroit-style pizza in this challenge," a person commented.

"Phew, Carson got it! I was getting a little nervous there," another fan wrote.

Other fans of The Amazing Race expressed a similar sentiment.

"The gaymers should’ve just put Jack on the pizza roadblock knowing Carson was bad at it & just hoped Carson could do the next leg’s roadblocks easily. Better the devil you know," a person reacted.

"I believe in you Carson you can do it," another netizen commented.

The Amazing Race stars Carson and Jack finish the Italy leg in fourth place

In one segment of the episode, the teams were tasked with making grocery deliveries, where they had to deliver produce, sausage, and cheese to the balcony of a house using a bucket. By the time Carson and Jack completed the deliveries, they were in third place, as Jonathan and Ana, along with Brett and Mark, were already ahead of them.

However, Carson and Jack's car, en route to their next challenge location, overtook Jonathan and Ana's, making them the frontrunners. After arriving at Ristorante de Ettore, The Amazing Race team learned that they had to make a pizza from scratch to advance to the Pit Stop.

Carson decided to complete the task. Despite arriving before the other teams, Carson and Jack fell behind as Carson struggled to perfect the pizza. Ana finished first, followed by Brett and Alyssa. Consequently, Ana and Jonathan completed the leg in first place, Brett and Mark in second, and Alyssa and Josiah in third.

Meanwhile, the last-placed team, Han and Holden, arrived at the restaurant while Carson was still struggling. However, as Han began the task, Carson obtained the chef's approval and headed to the Pit Stop with Jack. After a close race to the finish line, Carson and Jack finished in fourth place, putting Han and Holden at risk of elimination.

However, they avoided eviction after The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan announced that this leg was a non-elimination round.
