Amazing Race: Why Isaiah & Taylor Didn’t Return After The Delay

Isaiah and Taylor Green-Jones are the husbands and YouTube sensation team that will not be returning to The Amazing Race season 33 after the production break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Taylor and Isaiah were one of the calmest teams to compete on the show despite struggling on the first three legs. After The Amazing Race‘s year and a half break due to the pandemic, some teams were unable to come back and compete when they resumed filming.

Taylor and Isaiah are a married couple from Portland, Oregon. The pair went viral for their impressive choreographed dance at their wedding in August 2019. Taylor and Isaiah are both talented dancers and took their family and friends by surprise when they recruited other dancers to join them in a mob at their wedding reception. After going viral, Taylor and Isaiah created their own dance accounts on TikTok and Instagram where they show off their best moves.

Connie and Sam were unable to compete because she was pregnant, whereas Caro and Ray broke up. Meanwhile, Taylor and Isaiah didn’t give a specific reason why they didn’t return to The Amazing Race. For fans worried that there was any bad blood between the couple and production on the show, fear not, because Isaiah and Taylor said they would happily compete on a future season. When interviewed by castmates Lulu and Lala on YouTube, the pair will likely reveal their reason for not competing once the episode airs. In the meantime, they are living their best life cheering on the rest of the cast.

Isaiah and Taylor were one of the best teams at driving a stick shift, but their ability to navigate was much more challenging than expected. Taylor and Isaiah placed rather low in the first three legs, so they were at the back of the pack during their time on The Amazing Race. When production stopped in February 2020, many fans were hoping that the pair would come back better than ever. However, in the sneak peek shared 19 months after filming started up again, Taylor and Isaiah were nowhere to be found.

Taylor and Isaiah came into The Amazing Race having a strong partnership and were able to work together very well, which man fans thought would give them an advantage in the competition. In general, they were dubbed as a quiet team by some of their costars and managed to keep a levelheaded mindset even as they got constantly lost around the UK. Despite being a joy to watch, when it came to the actual roadblocks and detours, this Amazing Race season 33 team struggled.

The Amazing Race 33 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
