Amazing Race S38 – Episode 5 Panel Recap | Dubrovnik Drama, Tears & Double U-Turn Chaos! 🇭🇷

Wow, wow....WOW!!! Episode 5 of The Amazing Race Season 38 brought the heat — and we’ve got the perfect panel to break down every shocking twist, emotional moment, and wheel-spinning disaster!

Joining us this week:
🔥 Tucker & Eric, current racers who are absolutely ON FIRE right now — “LET’S GO!!!” They’re fresh off this intense leg in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and ready to spill all the behind-the-scenes secrets from one of the most breathtaking — and brutal — episodes of the season. From Game of Thrones-level scenery to gut-wrenching challenges, this one had it all.
🎙️ Superfan Amanda also joins the panel with some amazing stories of her own — including personal connections with Phil Keoghan and another CBS reality show host you definitely know and love! She’s full of “hot takes” and insight about how some teams might’ve handled this leg differently if they’d stuck closer to the rules of TAR.

This leg kicked off with the first equalizer of the season — a chartered flight from Hungary to Croatia — but equal it was not! Once teams hit the ground, the pressure cranked up fast with challenges that pushed racers to their emotional and physical limits. Add in a Double U-Turn, and things got messy real quick.

We dive deep into:
🎣 The Detour – “Fisherman Haul” vs. “Skin ’Em All” – which one would you have chosen, and which task turned into a meme-worthy meltdown?
🛞 The Roadblock – “Build it, then Race it” – a cobblestone kart course where some racers crushed it while others literally lost their wheels mid-race!
⚔️ The Drama – From tears to tension to total triumph, this episode had it all.

And of course, we’re talking about the iconic meme moments the official Amazing Race social media team couldn’t resist posting (and neither could we!).

Drop your thoughts below:
➡️ Which task would YOU have chosen – Fisherman Haul or Skin ’Em All?
➡️ How do you feel about the return of the Double U-Turn?
➡️ And what was your absolute favorite moment from this stunning leg in Croatia?

Let’s dive into the Dubrovnik drama together — because this episode reminded us all why we love The Amazing Race! 🌍✨
