The Most Hated Villains in ‘The Amazing Race’ History, From Jonathan Baker to Jonathan Towns
Reality TV villains: They’re the stars we love to hate. The Amazing Race, which has aired on CBS since 2001, has featured its fair share of villains through the years, and fans haven’t been shy about expressing their disdain for these racers on social media.
By far, one of the most infamous villains of the show is season 6’s Jonathan Baker, who shockingly shoved then-wife Victoria Fuller in front of the cameras. But now, there’s a new Jonathan taking over the title: season 37’s Jonathan Towns.
Throughout the season, which aired from March to May 2025, Jonathan faced backlash on social media for the way he treated wife Ana Towns. His most controversial comments included telling her to “stop crying” and calling her a “terrible partner.”
In Touch breaks down Amazing Race’s most hated villains, including both Jonathans and everyone in between.
