In episode 10 of The Amazing Race 37, teams traveled to Strasbourg, France, where picturesque streets and intense competitiveness collided. There was more pressure than ever to play quickly and intelligently with the season coming to an end. Important choices had to be made as the surviving teams sped past mental and physical obstacles, and not everyone was in agreement about how to play their cards.
One instance of this was when Josiah and his companion Alyssa decided not to use their Express Pass, which would have provided them with a substantial advantage. Josiah clarified that they wanted to store it for a more uncertain or challenging leg, where it would be the difference between survival and elimination, even though bypassing it sounded unsafe. However, they ended up using the Express Pass in the end.
Fans supported Josiah's reasoning toward the end of the show. Many thought that his planned approach would eventually pay off, particularly as the duties become more difficult and the margin for error decreases. The move was viewed by some observers as calm, strategic, and possibly game-winning, while others anticipated more aggressive gameplay, late in the race.
An admirer of The Amazing Race commented on Reddit:
"I feel like that express pass was wasted."
Another fan wrote from his account:
"It’s too late to use the express pass they should’ve done it sooner."
A comment read:
"Horrible use of the express pass but they still made it and im happy."
"It's so dumb to not use the fast pass right away. You spend time trying and learning the names and just waste the time gained by the fast pass. Either use it immediately or don't use it at all," another post read.
More fans of The Amazing Race shared their opinion on Josiah and Alyssa using the Express Pass.
"THEY WASTED THE EXPRESS PASS NOOOO."
"Why are josiah and alyssa STILL talking about using the express pass? that was a conversation that should’ve ended when the first team(s) left. it’s only one other team left and they’re wasting time still arguing about it."
"I suppose the express pass just saves them from being in last place now," another Reddit user posted.
