The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 9: Italy leg of the season - a non-elimination leg saved Han and Holden

As the latest The Amazing Race episode began, Han and Holden led alongside Ana and Jonathan. They advanced throughout the challenge and chose different detours that separated their ways.

After realizing they were the last team, the brother-sister duo felt panic throughout almost all the tasks. During the mozzarella task, viewers witnessed them feeling uneasy about being last. They also struggled to make the cheesy braids, which took longer.

Later, in The Amazing Race, a grocery shopping task was followed by a pizza-making challenge. The participants had to prepare a pizza from scratch. At last, when they arrived at the pit stop, Han and Holden learned that they were the last team.

The remaining teams on The Amazing Race Season 37 are:

  • Alyssa Borden and Josiah Borden,
  • Brett Hamby and Mark Romain,
  • Han Nguyen and Holden Nguyen,
  • Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge,
  • Jonathan Towns and Ana Towns.

The remaining five teams, including Han and Holden, were surprised when the show host, Phil, mentioned there would be no elimination. It's been a long time since fans witnessed a non-elimination leg.
