The Amazing Race Recap - Ep 5 (Season 33) Taking the Leap + Cast Call

[@Qster1584]

OMG, I also need to add how funny Penn is. His range of emotions at the bungee jumping "It's the Amazing Race, they won't let you die." to crying and saying "I want her to come up. I think I was imagining my life if she didn't." So funny and endearing. Love you both.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

The whole day was a rollercoaster.

[@NahlaAnwer]

I cried when he said that!

[@noellemyers8821]

This open discussion about Penn being supportive during a Panic Attack is so helpful... Sometimes when I am having one, it makes me feel too broken to be loved... so that is so helpful to see a lack of judgment and the support that is offered gives hope.

[@jobethk588]

Penn's reaction to her bungee jump was such a reflection of the love in their marriage.

It was so emotional when Penn cried, it made me cry too. I was watching with my daughter and explaining Kim's anxiety and how are things are for you. She saw you smile as you were bungee jumping, she said..."She looks happy", I told her that's what you do when your nervous. :-) I'm very impressed with what you are doing despite your anxiety.

[@TurquoiseStar17]

So proud of Kim for the bungee jump! Penn's reaction to seeing her plummet down the dam was pure relationship goals. And proud of Sheri too for facing her fear of heights back-to-back.

I'm feeling Sheri's terror.

Kim I didn't even here you scream when you jumped. Super proud of you.

[@KellyEJW]

Oh, Penn, that's so ok that you felt that way. I once lost my daughter in a store and in the 30 seconds or so that it took to find her, I lived out the rest of my life in my head without her. Love messes with you in such amazing ways!

[@squishyshelli]

Top 3 moments of last night's episode: 1- Kim bungee jumping (I teared up with Penn) 2 - Sherri bungee jumping (you go girl!) 3 - Lulu and Lala fawning over the hot local boys 😂 (hey, they're not wrong!)

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

THEY WERE NOT WRONG 😂

Fabulous recap! Yay Kim and Sherri for that bungee jump. Thanks for hooking us up with the other recaps from Lulu/Lala, Dusty/Cayla and Arjun/Natalia.

[@debdamiano]

I've been waiting for this video all day so I can tell you how PROUD I was of you Kim. I teared up too at the same time Penn did. I've done the bungee jumping and skydiving and all that fun adrenaline junky stuff, but I know how terrified you must have been and you did it like a CHAMP! Penn, your reaction and pride was AMAZING.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Thank you for watching our little recap.

Omg I was so proud of you Kim and Shari for making that jump, that was so amazing. Penn you made me cry just seeing how pumped and proud of her you were and you knew how hard it was for her just got my heart❤️

Kim and Sheri for the coolest, most badass moms ever! I couldn’t do it myself. And Penn’s reaction! I would have done the same thing if it was my husband who did it. I love how you support each other throughout all.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

She’s is amazing!

[@jobethk588]

I love the way y'all communicate. Watching angry-sounding people (no matter how much they love each other) is not my idea of fun.

Everyone communicates in different ways. This way works for us.

[@christinamoreland1458]

Thank you for making these! Hearing your pov’s enhances this whole experience. The way you support and care for each other is beautiful to watch. We were on the edge of our seats watching this episode and in tears watching Kim overcome her anxiety to take that leap!! The group chat at the end was so fun to watch! Our ladies Love Akbar! 😄 Can’t wait for episode 6!

[@nicosoco3289]

Penn’s advice is one of the reasons why you should never withhold from doing anything on TAR: they won’t let you die. Best advice ever. It’s clearly a sign of having watched many, many seasons. They’ve done a tonne of crazy stuff before and everyone has come out just fine. In fact, I believe self driving has been the most dangerous part of the whole race. Also, Sherri is such a rockstar. Since the restart she’s been doing every challenge and half of them have involved tremendous heights. What a champ. And Penn, do you have an air of resemblance to Phil Dunphy! That’s why you felt familiar - no pun intended.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Thanks for watching!

[@mjprozac]

First, that jump was horrifying and I’m extremely impressed for anyone that did it and felt so hard for Sharrie after last week, no less. Second, I would have totally been reassuring myself or others by saying that the Amazing race won’t let them die. But then, once my child was afraid to go on a roller coaster and said, “kids have died doing this!” And without thinking my answer was, “kids die lots of ways.” So I’m not always great at saying the right thing.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

It was oddly comforting hearing "The Amazing Race won't let you die"

[@seewhatlove]

It acknowledged and validated Kim's fears, which was better than dismissing them. For me, the loving tone and embrace got me more than the words.

[@drstupidphd]

I haven't watched every recap yet, but from a video production point of view, the zoom call at the end should be an official product. Even if they ran it on a streaming service or their website or whatever. Seeing all the competitors interacting at the end is super insightful and endearing ❤ I hope you're able to keep in touch going forward 🙂

[@hemaccabe4292]

Penn, it was perfectly natural for you to cry because you love and care about Kim. When she's scared or upset, you're scared and upset. I love that you are able to show your emotions. You're a man's man and you set a great example for what man can and should be in the modern world. Keep on being great!

[@ashleygrimm6950]

I totally only watch the amazing race because you guys are on it. You are such a role model and prove that any one can face their fears. My hands were sweating just watching people bungee jump! Good for you for facing your fears! I’m amazed that every team was able to get through that challenge. This was literally the best episode.

[@shellyrobison3283]

My husband is a physician and he said that Kim was probably suffering from a mild concussion from increased intracranial pressure. Swelling from the sudden deceleration and hanging upside down. Causing headaches and confusion. That could be one reason you couldn’t function well after the jump.

[@pamelacallahan9795]

Very interesting information!

[@amyrobinson4713]

This makes total sense; also as to why she couldn't think straight to give more clear directions. 🥰

Akbar ties to redeem himself in this Zoom call and of course we always are impressive to other people outside our homes/marriages, but I hated how he kept talking over her whenever she was asked a question. Trying to show some grace and tolerance towards him… we’ll see.

@Holderness Family Vlogs I'm not sure about now, but in 1995 the world's highest static jump is Skipper's Canyon in New Zealand, which was my one and only jump - it's a suspension bridge crossing the narrow canyon with a river at the bottom. Australia offered hot air balloon bungee jumps but I don't think those count in the same way. I was fine doing the bridge as there was enough air around that I wasn't worried about hitting anything like I have been at fairs and theme parks. As I recall - I'd have to find a VHS player to watch the replay or maybe find my souvenir - the Skipper's Canyon jump was 340 feet. (I think. It might have been meters.) From a windy suspension bridge with only a towel and bungee cord wrapped around the ankles. I get more concerned about driving in downtown Raleigh (a couple hours from me and where my kid's at college) than doing the jump - but it was easier because I took my glasses off before the jump so everything was rather fuzzy. 😁 Oh, and we sat in a dentist chair that was bolted to the bridge. 😆 Talk about adding an element of additional knee-jerk fear to the experience- dental work by proxy. Lol (Edited to correct typos)

Holy cow, I loved this episode! I did something so similar in 1998, when I was 22 and studying abroad, without GPS or cell phones. It was during the time of dial-up internet cafes. Four of us, students studying together from different colleges, rented a car in Johannesburg and then drove it from South Africa to Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls to bungee jump over the Zambezi River (a measley 364ft jump)...it just sounded like a good idea, and at that point, we were fearless and needed a break, after three months abroad. But, we had to rely on maps and on strangers to give us directions the whole way. And I couldn't back out of jumping, once we got there, not after driving that far. It really is wild to jump! The platforms are sooo small - nothing has changed about it! Fantastic job with that recap! It feels like I'm reliving that whole 90's experience! Love your teamwork! #teamholderness

The way Penn cried when Kim was so brave and made that bungee jump was so touching, it made me tear up as well! So, I bought your audio book on marriage and started listening to it the other day, I'm on chapter 6. And let me just say, so far it's a great book! I love all the extra little asides in the audio book, and I LOVE how open and honest this book is. It makes me feel so normal. My husband and I have been married for 8 years now, and I think you guys have some great advice so far in the book, I'll probably listen to it every year just as a refresher.

I am more annoyed and upset with the Survivors/Big Brother/ reality show "stars" when they are on because they talk about those shows I hate, ad nauseam during the interview portions. This season has been such a great relief the interview times are about the people and being on the race not some other reality show they had already been on.

What were Lola’s and PC’s reactions to Kim’s bungee jump?!?!

[@MaryShack]

I wanted to know too!

[@ashinidesai3595]

I cried when Kim was going because I knew how hard this was for her (I've watched all her videos about Covid and general life safety and I get her). Then I cried when Penn cried. And, then Sherri jumped.. and then Lulu/Lala's grandmother.. 😭 Thanks for doing these behind the scenes discussions.. learning a lot about how the show works.

The best ad popped up at the best time. When Kim was talking about what Penn said to her before she bungy jumped: “And then…. HE SAID….” “The Chrysalids. By John Wyndham. Now on Audible.” And now I’m really wishing that that’s what Penn had actually said to her. Random and not comforting but somehow I can strangely picture it. 😂

I'd buy a shirt that says "I'm a Magellan in the backseat".. Bungee jumping, not so much! So badass!!

Kim you were amazing. But Sheri was epic. I nearly had a panic attack watching you both. I am in awe of everyone who made the jump. Also, that much adrenaline and stress during the day - breaking down is a totally natural response.

I watched the entire season and now I am listening to the podcast. I had an anxiety attack just listening to this. Kim, you are a super hero.

Seeing Penn cry showed the deep, deep love Penn and Kim have for each other. It made ME cry! You guys are true inspirations! ❤❤❤❤

[@Kaytrinelise]

I was watching the show and OMG, I am so very proud of Kim! She did amazing! Penn was so wonderfully sweet as Kim jumped. I love your guys so much! I can not wait to keep watching you on the Amazing Race!

We are watching this season with our three middle kids (7,9,12) who, like us, are huge fans of your videos. They are having a blast watching you and wondering how their own middle aged parents would handle these tasks! While their dad would love to bungee jump, I would only jump in a race for a million dollars. And I would get it over with quickly like Kim, because I'm competitive enough not to let any team pass me if I could help it! We are loving watching on Wednesday nights and love your recaps the next day.

[@lynncolantuono668]

Kim you are a rock star!!! I cried when you jumped because I was so excited for you conquering your fears.

I have Panic, anxiety and PTSD. If my ex-wife was 15 minutes late from work most people would think traffic or she stayed late. Me she is in an ambulance and not going to survive. Now I have bungeed, I have been on the biggest and fastest roller coaster in America. My cardiologist gave me a monitor to wear and a box that stayed back. He said how was BP not high at the top of the hill. I said, cause I have over 500 coasters. Dr were you holding on? I brought the picture both my daughter and I had hands held high. My daughter was 20 we were in the front car and at the top of the hill she screamed like banshee. I looked at her and said what was that, to scare the other riders. Amanda was the youngest person to ever ride a hyper coaster it was Millenium Force. Riding with mom hanging and holding her down riding with dad hands held high You two were great on the show. Now I am watching all your videos.
