They did let the racers eat the pizza they made after they brought it to the pit stop, right?  Because otherwise it would just be too sad.  I also really loved the pizza maker, and thought it was nice to see him give specific criticism to the racers so they learned how to make good pizza.

I'm not so sure they did... It looked like Josiah was carrying their box like a football so the pizza would be sliding down to a scrunched up mess .

Someone said they saw a video of Phil and the band eating the pizzas. Perhaps they skipped Josiah/Amy's though lol.

Ana: “I used to work at Domino’s. I made some great pizzas.”

Me: “No, you didn’t. You were working at Domino’s.”

I won’t delve too far into the whole autism debate, other than to say it’s impossible to judge the whole of a person’s character based on the limited (and heavily edited) clips from a TV show. I have seen Jonathan be sweet and supportive, demonstrating why Ana may have fallen for him in the first place. I have also seen Jonathan be controlling and mean, demonstrating why she probably left his sorry ass.

How much of Jonathan’s personality can be attributed to neurodiversity and how much of it is a matter of temper management (or lack thereof), no one can say. But I do know one thing: it is possible to be autistic AND also be a dick. Two things can be true at the same time.

It was so funny Jack got to eat the rejected pizzas from Carson.lol

That seems like it could have been dangerous. I would be worried if I was in that situation I would be just be packing away the probably delicious rejected pizzas and then all of the sudden have to run really fast through Naples.

And besides, everybody is on the spectrum now. It helps justify assholery.

I doubt the ones that fell on the floor and were peed on my the shop dog were offered to him to eat. But if it was just  cosmetically unacceptable (square instead of round or with some charcoal around the edges) I'm sure it would taste good and not cause the Nepalese Neapolitan Buttclench to raise it's turtle-head.

Yea it looked like Jack got to eat all of the pizzas that Carson made that didn't pass inspection. And I would bet that those pizzas still tasted awesome. So my worry would be not being able to help yourself and keep eating, then having to sprint on a stomach full of pizza, which would probably be a recipe for a really bad stomach ache. That would be some Michael Scott style carb loading.

I was wondering about that as well, considering the partners got to eat the rejected pizzas! I would have been upset if I couldn't eat the pizza I made!

Good for Han and Holden, but I feel that they are on borrowed time.
