Ep. 54: “That’s my girl! And by that I mean my sister” in Dubai
The Gaymazing Race
We’ve reached the halfway point of The Amazing Race, and the teams are in Dubai for some SATC2-coded adventures, along with two roadblocks, a fast forward and lots of diving. We learn that Han has a boyfriend (sad) after she says “YES, CHEF” during a tea challenge, but where the Lorde taketh, they also giveth, and we get a few Gaymazing moments (perhaps unintentionally) courtesy of Holden. Our Gaymers can no longer hide that they’re a threat, while Brett composes a song on the beach in Dubai. Tragically, Pops and Jeff join us in our Elimination Station after narrowly losing a footrace...

The Gaymazing Race
Nicole and Karen get into the gayest episode of The Amazing Race this season, as Cirque du So Gay (Mark and Brett), and The Gaymers (Jack and Carson) both wind up on top–but who tops whom between them? Meanwhile, the tragedy of heterosexuality plays out as two of the remaining three straight couples face the dreaded double U-Turn. Karen, who is based in NY until the end of the season made her way to the Gaymers’ weekly watch party at Berry Park in Brooklyn, where she hung out and got some awesome vox pop commentary from perennial faves Ricky & César, as well as Jack and Carson...

Our Gaymers Carson and Jack bring multiple gaymazing moments in taxicabs and on their ATVs this episode.

Ep. 51: Knee Deep in the Passenger Seat in Kyoto
The Gaymazing Race
Both Karen and Nicole are recording on the road after their own planes, trains and automobiles, so their Amazing Race recap is a little more “gestalt” than precise for S37, E4, as the teams travel to Kyoto on the bullet train. Ironically, both our sapphic fanfic team, Bernie and Carrigain and our actual sapphic team, Courney and Jasmin are in trouble on this leg after being confronted by a sporty challenge. Soccer opens our eyes to the bisexual potential of a couple of the other teams. While all the teams struggle with being ninjas, including our gaymers, Mark does give good face during...

Ep. 50: Gays Know How to Drape in Osaka
The Gaymazing Race
The Amazing Race continues onto Osaka, Japan, and some of our gaymazing suspicions are confirmed, as we learn about the gamers (aka “gaymers”) cute back-story of coming out to each other as young gays who weren’t gay for each other. We’ve rechristened Carrigain with the sapphic Gaylor nickname, “Cardigan,” and Nicole has pointed out that Bernie’s tongue is pierced and looks good with her hoodie. Meanwhile, the teams drum, wrestle sumos and make mochi, while Karen insists on adding “making mochi” to the gay lexicon. We sit down with Bubblegum, aka Bridget and her rappin’ dad...

Ep. 49: Bun Scrambling & Getting Forked in Hong Kong
The Gaymazing Race
What is bun-scrambling, and who’s good at it? And which daddy gets to be “a female” in an opera singing challenge in Hong Kong? Welcome back to the Gaymazing Race!!! Season 37 of The Amazing Race debuts with 14 teams, the most ever to compete on the first leg. This is owed to the introduction of a NEW challenge structure, the “Fork in the Road,” where teams are divided for the detour and the pit stop, effectively narrowing the competition to just 7 teams on each side. Who survives this cutthroat best-of-seven showdown in Hong Kong?! We meet several gaymazing teams, including cirque...

Ep. 47: Girls Who Like Girls Who Like The Amazing Race (S36, E9)
The Gaymazing Race
Once again, we were tantalized by the promise of a historic GALA (Gay and Lesbian Alliance) between Ricky & Cesar and Yvonne & Melissa, as the final five hit the Dominican Republic to water slide into natural grottoes, harvest cacao and play some D.R.-style “beisbol.” Sadly, Melissa is stumped by a rock-symbol challenge and Yvonne’s struggled to make a bottlecap fly with a broomstick.. With just a two-minute gap between 4th and last, our girls who like girls who like the Amazing Race ended up in our elimination station, where they give us the ins and outs of their own...

Ep. 46: Fish Pots (S36, E8)
The Gaymazing Race
The Amazing Race gets busy in Barbados, Rihanna’s homeland. We admire their tiny jeeps and racquet sports skills, though the teams still struggle with navigation. There’s another tantalizing possibility of another all gay alliance at the fish pot detour. Leading up to it Team Walla Walla Mama & Son LOSE THEIR CREW, which sends them directly to our Elimination Station.

Ep. 45: Sisterhood is Powerful in Montevideo (S36, E7)
The Gaymazing Race
The Amazing Race teams head to Uruguay where Brokeback Fannypack is under the weather, and Sunny and Bizzy are looking forward to a “Girls night out, girls night in.” Parenting emerges as a leitmotif in this episode, and we see Walla Walla Momma and Son emerge from the pack to run their own race. Ricky and César and Yvo and Melissa–aka, THE GAYS–all take on a Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence-style Detour, and we are devastated (but also thrilled) to welcome our favorite Midwestern firefighter ladies, Sunny and Bizzy into our Elimination Station.
info_outlineFriend of the pod Kat Spada from Feminist Frequency Radio sits in for Nicole this week, as The Amazing Race moves to Argentina for gaymazing challenges that involve recycling and meat puzzles.
Can Ricky & César keep Shane and Juan, aka Brokeback Fannypack from overtaking their top position? The girls who like girls, Yvonne and Melissa, and the other girls who like wraparound sunglasses, Sunny and Bizzy, explore an alliance together as the other three boy/girl teams, Rod and “Chichi,” Walla Walla Momma and Son (Danny and Angie), and Team Anesthesia (Vinny and Amber) block them out of the of the meat puzzle detour.. This leaves our Sexy Grandparents Derek and Shelisa the odd on’s out, and they sadly have to join us in our elimination station.
