"Annoying and toxic!": The Amazing Race fans slam Jonathan for his behavior with Ana

The Amazing Race Season 37's latest episode was released on April 2, 2025. The fifth episode of the competition show featured a Double U-turn, which resulted in two teams getting the most votes. They were Jonathan-Ana and Scott-Lori.

Because of that, the teams had to go through assigned tasks, i.e., Detour challenges. One of the challenges was to place five species of coral in a cage and take it to the seabed. Due to her fear of water, Ana struggled during the challenge. However, she managed to do it with a life jacket.

They had to take 60 coconuts on a bicycle in the heat for another challenge. Due to the physical nature of the task, Jonathan struggled and had headaches. He also took multiple water breaks during the task while complaining about it. Witnessing his behavior with Ana, The Amazing Race fans slammed the male cast member.

Fans went to the social media platform X and called Jonathan out for his behavior.

A fan wrote on X:

"Jonathan is soooo annoying and toxic! Don’t like the way he treats Ana. Ugh. Scott and Laurie for the next all stars season pls!"

Another fan slammed Jonathan and referred to him as a "man baby":

"Enjoying #TheAmazingRace so much. Just finished Wed. episode. Am I the only one who can’t stand Jonathan, the man baby? I love the teams & detours/road blocks & diff. locations around the. @PhilKeoghan is an amazing host. Also want @theluiscolon on #TAR again!"

One more fan wrote about Jonathan:

"Jonathan is such a female, I don't know how his wife can put up to his abuse."

A netizen reacted to Jonathan's behavior towards Ana:

"Someone needs to tell Ana she needs a new husband."

Another person called out Jonathan:

"I hope Ana watched the last episode and see that she needs to leave that horrible individual called Jonathan."

A fan commented about Jonathan:

"Jonathan is a truly horrible and abusive person, I feel very bad for Ana…"

A person referred to Jonathan as "annoying" towards Ana:

"Jonathan from Jonathan and Ana is so f*cking annoying. Plus, Jonathan is hella negative and rude. I would drop his gay ass."

Another The Amazing Race fan wrote about Jonathan:

"One of the most useless men I've seen on reality TV in a while. (Jonathan). I truly feel sorry for his wife. She literally has to walk on eggshells around him and treat him like a toddler when he's having an emotional moment."

The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 5: Jonathan and Ana went through Detour Challenges following the Double U-Turn

After Jonathan and Ana were one of the two teams from Double U-Turn, they were supposed to go through Detour Challenges. One of the tasks was to carry 60 coconuts using a bicycle to a cafe. While Ana held the bicycle, The Amazing Race star Jonathan loaded the coconuts.

When the bicycle lost its balance with excessive weight and fell, Jonathan mentioned his shoulder pain as he re-loaded the coconuts. This time, he told Ana to hold the bicycle more carefully. However, the bicycle fell, once again.

During the next challenge, Jonathan and Ana were against another team, Scott and Lori. While competing throughout the task, Jonathan took multiple water breaks. He also complained about the headaches he was getting due to heat.
