In the latest episode of the Sieppi and Särkkä podcast, Sara Sieppi and her brother Artturi, who is also competing in the Amazing Race Finland, share insights about their experiences during the show. The competition takes them from Helsinki to the other side of the world, culminating in a return to Finland where the fastest team will be crowned the winners of Amazing Race. The podcast provides a glimpse into the challenges faced by the contestants during the race, where sightseeing was not a priority as they focused on completing tasks with victory in mind.

Sara and Artturi discuss how the production kept them isolated during the competition, revealing that contestants were not allowed to leave their hotel rooms after filming each day. This strict control involved removing phones and TVs from their hotel space, creating a unique environment where the competitors could forge close relationships without distractions. While this isolation was difficult, Artturi noted the benefits as it allowed them to become a tight-knit group amidst the competitive atmosphere.

The conversation touches on various aspects of the show, including the mental and physical demands placed on participants. As Sara jokingly inquired about any parties happening during their confinement, it highlights the camaraderie developed during the extraordinary circumstances of the race. This episode offers audiences a deeper understanding of the Amazing Race experience beyond the excitement of the competition itself.
