The Amazing Race’s Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge announced they still haven’t received their prize after winning. Carson and Jack were one of 14 teams that raced around the world tocompete for $1 million onThe Amazing Race. Along the way, they won $3,000, an Alaskan cruise and a trip to Helsinki, Finland. While other teams–like Jonathan and Ana Towns, and Han and Holden Nguyen–argued,Carson and Jack never let the stress get to them; they were fun and hilarious every step of the way, and it paid off when they wonThe Amazing Raceseason 37.
The Amazing Race’s Carson and Jack revealed a surprising update about their $1 million grand prize.
Carson and Jack have brought their fun and entertaining personalities to TikTok (via@Dweebwars), and in a recent video,Jack posted an update that said, “When you just won a million dollars on The Amazing Race but the check hasn’t cleared yet.“The video showed Jack eating ramen noodles straight out of the pot he cooked it in, making it seem like he couldn’t afford a lot of food. However, he added a funny caption admitting that his eating habits won’t change once the check does arrive, saying, “Let’s be honest imma still be eating ramen noodles when it does.”
In the video, Jack looked at the camera and said with a straight face, “What?” humorously warning everyone to not judge him for eating ramen noodles. The next shot showedCarson holding a lager in one hand while drinking the beverage out of a champagne glass. He could also be seen riding the subway, but he couldn’t keep it together and started laughing.
What Carson & Jack Not Receiving Their Prize Yet Means
The Amazing Race Is Likely Following A Strict Legal Process
It’s somewhat surprising that Carson and Jack haven’t received their $1 million grand prize yet, especially consideringThe Amazing Raceseason 37 was filmedall the way back in May and June 2024, which was a year ago. However,it’s possible that the winners don’t get the money until sometime after the season airs. It’s been less than three weeks since the finale aired on TV. There’s probably a very particular legal process the network has to go through before they’re allowed to send out the check.
American Idolseason 23 champion Jamal Roberts made similar comments recently after his own exciting win. He was asked about the money less than two weeks after the live finale, so it made sense that he hadn’t received his prize yet. TheSurvivorseason 48 finale aired six days after theAmazing Raceseason 37 finale, so,presumably, Kyle Fraser is in a similar situation as Carson and Jack.
