The Shove

This is the most infamous moment in Amazing Race history. It happens while Freddy&Kendra race Jonathan&Victoria to the mat in Berlin.

She was worried someone would steal the bag if they just left it on the street in Berlin. A fairly reasonable fear, I'd say. One that they both overreacted to, him in an incredibly harsh way. They were going to be second, not last, so he didn't need to freak out like that.

This is a race! This isn't about compassion my ass. How can Jonathan not show compassion which can also be used in the race such as understanding your partner in your team and working together? Ill treating and scolding her is not the way to go. If you don't show compassion means you have no value of team spirit and you using the concept of racing as an excuse to forgo your moral values. He in pushing/shoving Victoria IS NOT COOL AT ALL when clearly she is in distress after all that running with the two heavy backpacks and being overtaken by another team.[and being scolded by Jonathan] This is one of the many times Jonathan scolded and talk down to Victoria during most other times in the race.

[@TheShredtube]

Yes. In the US version,the bags must be in sight of the host (if the pit stop is in an open area such as the desert in season 7, you can drop them once you get out the cab, but a more enclosed area requires them be closer, not around the corner)
