Perspective
Critical response
Prior to the season's premiere, reactions towards the casting theme were largely negative with Ryan DeVault of TV Fanatic calling the decision "a huge mistake" as it "pigeon-holes the audience and could alienate viewers who are uninterested in watching reality stars compete on the show."[33] These concerns were largely unchanged by the end of the season. Andy Dehnart of reality blurred wrote that the season had its charms with "many of the legs required driving, taking public transportation, and walking—a refreshing change of pace for the race" but in the end was an "uneven season".[34] Nick Caruso of TVLine called it the "most predictable season of The Amazing Race".[35] Mick Joest of Cinemablend was critical towards the predictability of Jas and Jag's win writing that "[Jag Bains] had a target on his back going into The Amazing Race, but thanks to an early Express Pass and his equally competitive brother, none of the other teams ever really stood a chance of taking them out."[36]
