Plenty of The Amazing Race contestants can say their time on the show changed their lives, but season 36 contestant Bizzy Smith can also say it saved hers.
“I do think The Amazing Race saved my life,” she said. “That was the tipping point for me pursuing it when I got home is that, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s weird that I haven’t breastfed in over a year and I still have these lumps.’ … So, yeah, I think that Amazing Race physical saved my life.” Sunny and Bizzy had plans to practice their navigational skills before appearing on season 36, but they never got around to it.
During episode 4, Sunny and Bizzy struggled to string together a phrase based on clues from a series of paintings. At one point, they guessed “Mama rat took baby rat skiing around the world,” a far cry from the correct phrase: “The world is smaller than you think.”
