After a wild leg through Budapest, Hungary, Kat Dunn and Alex Romo were the team eliminated in Week 4 of The Amazing Race Season 38. The dating couple, who had been having trouble settling into a routine since the start of the competition, failed during a demanding Detour that put their accuracy and balance to the test. When they reached the Pit Stop last, their adventure came to an emotional finish.

The show saw a significant upheaval in this episode, with the final ten teams enduring a series of nerve-racking physical and mental challenges. For those who dared to take it, the leg's rigorous Fast Forward challenge provided a direct path to first place. In the meantime, a challenging roadblock with horse-drawn carriages and a detour that alternated between juggling and dancing caused unanticipated upsets in the rankings.

Kat and Alex's elimination demonstrated that Budapest's erratic obstacles and shifting alliances can derail even the most committed teams in a game where one incorrect turn can decide the outcome.


The Amazing Race Season 38 Week 4: Twists, turns, and a test of skill

Teams were taken from the Czech Republic's cobblestones to the center of Budapest in Week 4 of The Amazing Race Season 38, where fresh obstacles necessitated intense concentration and cooperation. This episode covered everything, from solving Rubik's Cubes to being proficient with horse carriages. Kat and Alex eventually paid the price as some teams triumphed via deliberate precision, while others faltered in the pandemonium of the city.


Fast forward glory and front-of-the-pack wins

With a Rubik's Cube to solve in less than 7.5 seconds, the Fast Forward in Budapest was not for the weak of heart. Known for their ability to solve puzzles quickly, Tucker and Eric Des Lauriers seized the chance. They secured first place and immunity for the next leg as a result of their brilliant move. Natalie and Stephanie Negrotti, who finished in second place with confidence, were not far behind and continued their winning run.

During the dance-based Detour, Izzy Gleicher and Paige Seber advanced to third place by showcasing their elegance and balance. Their ability to work together and remain composed under duress was essential for completing the challenging Budapest duties. Minor errors kept the middle pack apart, but the rest of the field stayed competitive. The episode reaffirmed The Amazing Race's reputation for favoring flexibility, as teams may go from last to first in just a few minutes thanks to a single challenge.


Budapest Breakdown: Struggles at the bottom of the pack

In the capital of Hungary, not everyone prospered. Near the bottom of the leg, Jack and Chelsie Baham started, but they never really got going. Despite their best efforts, they lost critical minutes due to sluggish navigation and mechanical failures. Rubina Bernabe and Kristine had a wild day; they stumbled at the Roadblock but were able to recover a little from their dance Detour performance.

Sadly, Kat Dunn and Alex Romo were unable to overcome their difficulties. During the juggling challenge, the pair's inability to synchronize resulted in numerous errors that consumed time and effort. Phil Keoghan, the host of The Amazing Race 38, broke the awful news to them when they arrived at the Pit Stop. Their departure served as a reminder to fans that no lead in The Amazing Race is ever safe and demonstrated how one badly planned Detour can terminate a strong run.
