The Amazing Race season 37, episode 7 aired on April 16, showing contestants traveling from Dubai, UAE, to Sofia, Bulgaria. The episode featured the Detour and Roadblock challenges, along with a surprise U-Turn twist.
Nick and Mike and Han and Holden faced the U-Turn, with Han and Holden reaching the pit stop on time, while Nick and Mike were still working on their Detour challenge.
This prompted Phil Keoghan, the host, to go upto them to tell them that they were eliminated as all the other five teams were already at the pit stop. Fans of The Amazing Race came to X to react to Nick and Mike's elimination and expressed their opinions on their exit from the show.

"The lumberjack team Pops and Jack sending karma to Nick and Mike. Making them miss that ONE log to be their downfall causing them to get U-Turn and eliminated," said another.
"I wanted Jack and Carson to survive this episode. I am sad Nick and Mike are eliminated. It should have been Jonathan and Ana. Damn those locals!!!" added a third.
"YEA IT'S OVER FOR THEM !!!!! NICK & MIKE JUST CALLED IT A DAY YALL. YOUR LUCK HAS RAN OUT. BECAUSE THE ITEM THEY LOOKING FOR..... IS ON THE OTHER SIDE WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND IT," commented one.

The challenges on The Amazing Race season 37 episode 7
For The Amazing Race Detour challenge, the six teams were given two choices. The Haystack challenge and the Woodstack challenge. The former had the contestants look for a red and white bracelet in three piles of haystacks, while the other challenge had its contenders carry 200 kgs of wood between different points.
The Roadblock challenge had the contestants squeeze milk out of a sheep till it fills a half-litre mark. After squeezing out the milk, they had to finish a bowl full of Bulgarian yogurt. Erika and Melinda were the first ones to reach the surprise U-Turn challenge. They had to pick two teams to compete in it.
The U-Turn challenge would have the chosen teams do both the Detour challenges, instead of just one, like their contemporaries. Erika and Melinda thought that they, alongside Han and Holden, Nick, and Mike, were the frontrunners, not knowing that the other three teams were already ahead of them.
So they assigned the U-Turn challenge to Nick and Mike, but regretted it upon finding out that the other three teams were ahead of them. While all the teams made it to the pit stop, Nick and Mike were still at the haystack, trying to find the bracelet. Phil Keoghan, the host, went upto them to reveal to them that they were eliminated.
New episodes of The Amazing Race season 37 are released on Wednesdays at 9:30 pm ET on CBS.
