The Amazing Race’s Kishori Says Karishma Took ‘4 Hours’ On Roadblock

The Amazing Race season 36 contestants Kishori Turner and Karishma Cordero struggled with their final roadblock.

Karishma, 22, volunteered to perform the challenge due to her skateboarding experience. However, when the roadblock turned out to involve building a skateboard rather than riding one, she knew she was in trouble.

⁘It took her over four hours to complete the challenge, but [the episode edit] makes it look like we were super close to [competitors] Derek and Shelisa [ Williams ], and we were not,⁘ Kishori, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, April 11, one day after the cousins were eliminated from the CBS series.

Per the rules of TAR , Kishori had to sit on the sidelines without helping Karishma as she struggled to remove a bolt that was stuck in the skateboard.

⁘I⁘m very type-A, I⁘m very detail-oriented, and so having to sit there and be super patient and not allowed to say anything was really difficult,⁘ Kishori said. She added that, in hindsight, she and Karishma wished they⁘d known the roadblock was a building challenge.

⁘I love building furniture. I built my bookshelf, my nightstand, my dresser, all of it,⁘ Kishori said.

⁘[They would] 100 percent [be] laughing at us,⁘ Kishori said, noting that they would⁘ve been particularly tickled by Karishma⁘s inability to build a skateboard.

⁘That is probably what they would be cracking up at because [they⁘d be like], ⁘Our girl rides skateboards,⁘⁘ she said.
