Who was eliminated from The Amazing Race Season 34 premiere Episode 1 recap and more

By Bhavya Kamra Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share One team on The Amazing Race got eliminated for taking too much time to get directions (Image via theamazingrace/ Instagram) Season 34 of The Amazing Race premiered on CBS on Wednesday, September 21, and saw 12 teams competing to cross the world's biggest race. However, one team was eliminated right in the first episode. Aastha Lal and Nina Duong were the first couple to be eliminated from the race after they failed to finish the tasks given to them. Aastha said that as Asians, they were overachievers and wanted to score more credit in the race by being quick. So they decided to ask some German locals for detailed directions to avoid getting confused. However, this made them the last team to drive out of the lot and they still got lost on their way to the location. They barely finished the challenges, and reached the pit stop seconds after Aubrey and David. Aastha said that although the couple was eliminated, she had fun in the challenge and had no regrets. They also said that they would definitely laugh about this moment for the rest of their lives. The Amazing Race fans, however, were upset over Aastha Lal and Nina Duong being eliminated on the first day itself. joseph's cloaca @eslampropagandadamn aastha and nina #TAR #TAR34 #TheAmazingRace #AmazingRace1damn aastha and nina #TAR #TAR34 #TheAmazingRace #AmazingRace

What happened on The Amazing Race premiere

View this post on Instagram Instagram Post On the premiere of The Amazing Race, host Phil Keoghan introduced new challenges and rules for the season. All the teams had the opportunity to perform the three tasks in any order they chose thanks to a new twist called "Scramble." It was also revealed that in the new season, one team will definitely be eliminated in every episode. The episode description of the premiere episode read: "Twelve new teams start their journey in Munich; a team is eliminated." The three challenges given to the players were to roll a beer keg around a puzzle made of hay, saw some wood at the Biergarten Seehaus and finally, smash a big piece of ice at the Biergarten Seehaus. Marcus & Michael failed at their first attempt of the roll challenge and had to restart again. Although three other couples, Abby-Will, Aubrey-David and Derek-Claire started the roll challenge together, only Derek and Claire finished the task. Twins Emily and Molly were the first to reach the smash challenge, and Luis and Michelle soon followed them where Luis quickly chopped up the ice. Linton and Sharik worked hard and overtook Rick and Dom at the sawing challenge even after arriving late at the destination. Meanwhile, Tim and Rex were lost in their path. Ultimately, Derek and Claire were the first couple to clear all the challenges and head to the pitstop, Friedensengal, where they had to find the Angel of Peace. Glenda & Lumumba also picked up speed during the final half of the race and headed to the pitstop. Marcus' team got lost on their way to their third task but were finally able to complete the saw challenge at the last moment. Following all this, the rankings for the first episode were: Derek & ClaireGlenda & LumumbaQuinton & MattieLinton & SharikMolly & EmilyMarcus & MichaelTim & RexAbby & WillRich & DomLuis & MichelleAubrey & DavidAastha & Nina (Now eliminated) Derek and Claire won $2,500 each for finishing the challenge first.
