And if you don’t know what an ONT is, apparently neither did Michelle and Matt! The Amazing Race 39 took us to Albania, where the Driver’s Seat was working OVERTIME, alliances were being tested, and everybody had something to say! Brice and Brooke are back at the Pit Stop to unpack Michelle and Matt calling the shots, grape-crushing chaos, pastry problems, a crossword puzzle that had us questioning the alphabet, and a heartbreaking race to the mat! With friendships on the line and feelings getting hurt, is it strategy or is it personal? Either way, we’ve got plenty to talk about!
