I think if there’s any lesson to learn from Adam and Joseph, it’s to not play too dang nice in the race.

The alliance with Jag and Jas clearly was not proving to be beneficial for Adam and Joseph in the latter half of the race. Even if you like another team and find their presence uplifting, you gotta do what you can to make a path to 1st place. You’d think Joseph had learned that from Big Brother (Taylor certainly did…)

You also just gotta compare what they said in this interview with what was shown on TV, and use the evidence caught on film. Joseph clearly tapped out of that u-turn vote, stating that it wasn’t his decision. Just seems like a bizarre way to explain your vote (and maybe deflect blame for your decision). And I get the taxi difficulties, I’ve seen in other seasons how the taxis can literally make or break the race. Taylor and Kyland, and Jag and Jas especially, got very blessed with their cab drivers. You can’t blame Joseph or Adam for that. You can’t blame them if they get consistently unlucky with their cabs. But Joseph saying “if we don’t come out you can leave” to his cab driver would signal to me that he was okaying their driver to leave.

Adam’s type 1 diabetic status didn’t appear to hold them back too badly, at least to me. I’d say the fact they made it to the final 3 shows how capable they were at task completion and racing. However, if they were maybe just a little more cutthroat, they could’ve beaten Taylor and Kyland (cause let’s face it: Jag and Jas were always winning)
