In the 4th leg of the race, we had the incredible opportunity to travel to Jordan and visit the Wadi Rum desert and Petra, one of the 7 New Wonders of the World.
Claire and I discuss how we moved from almost last to 2nd place, switching our roadblock strategy, our favorite story from Petra, and more BTS stories.
Thank you to every one for watching! And a special thank you to all my Instagram Subscribers who watched the full extended cut :)

@@Satellite88 Lets see if Derek replies and if that is the case. Even if it is so in the past, I am not sure if it is true moving forward. For survivor I believe it is just convincing Jeff you can add value to the show. Also not to sound cliché but Derek add to the diversity for the show too.

Just out of curiosity, since it's okay to ask now, did anyone recognize you in Petra? :) I know a bunch of spoiler photos got out from there, which is how fans from BB first found out you were on the race. The place was packed full of tourists, so it was bound to happen.

least favorite team, just somewhat shady people, just like how they would have an idea that the guy would steal their stuff and even running, they need to trick people. they would have these ideas bc they are that type of people. how they want the worst to happen to their competitors, and even if they were to help, like suggesting to the other team to salt the fish, the main motivation is to keep the stronger team, Michael and Marcus, out from the top 3. frankly speaking, they are already very bright that they could have won the race clean. yeah, they have so much tricks, cunning tactics, ways to trick others, being so calculative to get to their goal, wishing the worst for other teams without any guilt. that's why i would have preferred the twin sister or Luis and Michelle to have won instead. just kinda disgusting.
