On The Amazing Race this season, several teams ended up quitting the race around the world.
Now, those teams that exited the race have shared videos to explain their decisions to walk away.
A brand new cast for The Amazing Race took part in Season 33, but filming began right before the pandemic hit around the world.
The race had to be paused, and when it was resumed, four teams were forced to tap out due to things going on in their lives.
Why did these teams quit The Amazing Race 33?
The video below features each of the four teams that had to walk away from The Amazing Race and has snippets where they explain why it was important for them to focus on their lives rather than go back to try to win the $1 million prize.
The first team to speak is Connie Greiner and Sam Greiner, a married couple that had a baby during the downtime. It’s pretty self-explanatory why they decided to focus on their family, and fun to watch them talk about it.
Caro Viehweg and Ray Gantt, Anthony Sadler and Spencer Stone, and then Taylor Green-Jones and Isiah Green-Jones all gave their reasons why the Pit Stop ended up being the final time we would see them competing on The Amazing Race 33.
