Kishori Turner and Karishma Cordero did the opposite of skating by on Wednesday‘s “The Amazing Race 36.” Thinking the Roadblock in Santiago, Chile, was a skateboarding task, Karishma volunteered to do it. Unfortunately, the task was building a skateboard, something that is up Kishori’s alley. Suffice it to say, Karishma had a tough time and things got worse when she didn’t know how to extricate a bolt from an Allen wrench, leading to the cousins’ elimination.

“Now I have trauma with skateboards,” Karishma tells Gold Derby (watch above). “Every time I see one, it is triggering for me, but I did not think we would go out with a skateboard.”

“I didn’t either,” Kishori adds. “Karishma grew up skateboarding, so I did have faith in her, but you just don’t really know what curveballs are gonna be thrown your way. … I was like, ‘What if it’s building, but what if it’s not building and it’s riding it?’ I was just scared I would fall, like fall flat on my head riding a skateboard.”

Instead, Kishori was stuck at the Roadblock for about two and a half hours. It was the second Roadblock in a row for her at which she struggled after last week’s map challenge in Colombia. “I think the map task was worse for me just because it was in the heat and it was a lot of running back and forth. I really wanna know how many miles I ran after that because I was running a lot to memorize and just getting oriented with the map,” she says. “The only thing that was frustrating with the skateboard challenge was that I just didn’t know how to get the bolt out when I was disassembling it because I had assembled it wrong the first time. And so if I had known that one thing about that tool, I would’ve knocked it out way faster.”

Kishori knew exactly what Karishma was doing wrong and how to get the bolt out, but couldn’t help her, per the rules. “Obviously it’s hard because you get a penalty if you say something. And it was really hot that day and there was no shade and she was dehydrated. And I was like, ‘At this point, the only thing I can do is give her encouragement.'”

“She would’ve done it fast. Kishori loves building things,” Karishma adds. “I always opt in on pre-build, like I’ll pay the extra fee.”
