Welcome to Leg 12! Last time, on The Amazing Race Penultimate Paris Adventure, 4 teams raced from Italy to Paris, France. Kyland and Taylor once again ended up in the back of the pack at the start of the leg, but surged through a dancing task and bounced back. Joseph and Adam struggled to dance, while Izzy struggled on typing Braille correctly. Jas and Jag finished first for the fourth leg in a row, and Izzy and Paige were eliminated. And then there were three: Jas and Jag, the brothers and entrepreneurs who have finished first on six of the eleven legs and managed to be the first team in history to finish a leg in first place after being U-Turned; Kyland and Taylor, the dating couple that has never won a leg, but their continued support of each other keeps them from falling too far behind; and Joseph and Adam, the brothers who finished last on a non-elimination leg, and have continued to struggle with Adam’s diabetes issues. (Toyouke: “I have to say, this season has been surprisingly good. Much better than I thought it would be when it was announced.”) Who will win The Amazing Race 38? (click for more)

1- Jas/Jag – who happened to get a Sikh cab driver. (Toyouke: “So this is an interesting development. Jas and Jag's cab driver maybe doesn't speak good English? So did they get a language advantage in the United States?”)
2- Kyland/Taylor – who also lucked out with their cab driver.
3- Joseph/Adam
Teams are now instructed to rappel down the Empire State Building from the 103rd floor to the 90th floor.

When teams arrive, they go to a soundstage where they drop off their package and ring a bell, which summons Cookie Monster. Once they deliver their package, a cookie, to Cookie Monster and he eats it, Oscar pops out of his trash can to give them their next clue.
Teams are now instructed to make their way to Spandex House. (Toyouke: “OK real talk, I have heard of Spandex House because when Project Runway had a challenge to dress female wrestlers they sent everyone to Spandex House.”) Teams arrive in the following order:
1- Jas/Jag
2- Kyland/Taylor
3- Joseph/Adam – Joseph: “If we don’t come out, you can leave.” And the cab left, so they had to find a new one yet again. (Toyouke: “No, I don't think he said he was gonna wait. You told him "if we don't come out you can leave" and he gave up before you came out. That might be the nail in the coffin and it was a bad strategic move and not due to diabetes.”)
When teams arrive at Spandex House, they find a clue box and get their clues in the following order:
1- Jas/Jag
2- Kyland/Taylor
3- Joseph/Adam
