Nick and Mike needed medical attention during the task

Over Nick and Mike FioritoA bracelet was required in a bracelet in a haystack The amazing raceDoctors.

“We had to stop (the challenge) and get medical attention for a few minutes because we were about to get a heat stroke,” Mike, 28, was told Weekly US On Thursday, April 17, following their deletion. “We were so determined not to stop.”

During the episode, which took place in Bulgaria, Mike and Nick, 32, chose to complete the Woodstack option for the Detour Challenge. The brothers hit Snag when they were one kilograms short and had to complete another round of wooden delivery. After they had finished that task they were in a footstep with Melody and Erika Papadeas to reach the next part of the race.

The teams encountered a u-turn, and the mother-girl duo decided to choose Nick and Mike, fearing they were competing for the last place. (No team realized that Carson McCalley and Dodge jackwho was usually in front of the race, gone missing and three hours behind everyone.)

Nick and Mike had to go back and perform another detour option: Her Haystack. The task required teams to search for a bracelet hidden in one of three hay bales. As the pair looks for a small bracelet in a literal haystack, the weather Had an impact on Nick and Mike.

“When you look at us on TV and you see us kicking the grass, it almost looks like we just give up and just like a hay kick. But it’s literally all the energy we left in our body,” explains Mike. “The sun was so extremely hot and it was right on our heads.”

Nick noted that the difficult effort of the Woodstack task had also gained many of them.

“We had just finished carrying 400 pounds of wood and ran back and forth three times. So we were exhausted,” Nick told Us. “And then – as Mike said – the sun did not help and the grass was extremely intimidating too. So it was just like a perfect storm of unfortunate events and our energy level became very low.”

Mike and Nick spent a total of six hours in the field in search of a bracelet. At one time, the duo was considering taking a time penalty. However, they eventually decided against him as it would have been an extra “eight hours” on top of what they had already done.

“It was a disgrace, like somewhere between six and eight hours. And at that point we’re like, ‘Okay, that doesn’t make any sense to take’ because we’re already hours for this challenge,” said Mike Us. “So to add that many hours on his head would make no sense. So we said, ‘We’re still fighting through here.’

Nick and Mike never found the bracelet, and never reached the pool stop. Host Phil Keoghan appeared in the challenge to eliminate the brothers in a “bitter” moment.

“(Phil) basically had a line where he said he came to take us out of our misery. And to be honest with you, he did,” quoted Mike. “We were beaten down by that sun, by that grass tired beyond measure. That was a bright point that we could stop now.”

Being on the amazing race was a lifelong dream for Nick and Mike. The pair applied to be on the show over seven years before they were selected for Season 37.

Bernie Gutierrez and Carrigain Scaddden the amazing race were not delighted with the choice made Jonathan and Ana Towns made during the driver’s seat turn. “If you try to kick us down because we’re already at the bottom and don’t want to make more enemies, that’s smart. I get it,” said Gutierrez, 31, just at US Weekly (…)

“Watching it from your sofa is one thing, but it is a real life testing and living.” So we got to see cultures and the way different people live their lives. And that was something you can do from your couch, but it’s a completely different feeling when you experience it directly. ”

Although they did not walk away with the million dollar prize, the pair looks on the bright side as they live out their dream of competing in the race.

“At first watching last night, I’m not going to lie, I felt like a loser. It felt like we lost, we gave him everything and wasn’t good enough. “At the same time, you know what else is true, we’re winners because we put our everything until the end. We didn’t give up. We did it on the show after seven years of trying and inspiring so many people on their own.”
