The final leg of the Amazing Race begins as the brother/sister team, Nick & Starr battle it out with the separated couple Ken & Tina, and the hapless Frat boys, Dan and Andrew continue this leg much as they have the throughout the race.
Final destination is Portland Oregon. Nick & Starr leave first. as usual everyone gets on the same plane. They get taxi's. Ken & Tina get to detour first. High & dry or low & wet. It's about logging industry. Ken & Tina choose high and dry even though Tina is scared of heights. Nick & Starr also choose that and Andrew and Dan are in their taxi calling someone for directions I think. Ken & Tina bickering as she has trouble. Nick supports Starr as she completes her part of the task. Frat boys still in taxi, Tina still working on it. Nick & Starr head for next clue.
Frat boys arrive after both other teams have left. They too choose high and dry.
At the next place they have to ride a zip line down from Bridge of the Gods. This does not please Tina. But she does enjoy the ride. Nick & Starr arrive just after Ken & Tina. Now the teams must answer one question from each leg of the race. There is a game board. Then they enter a field with 150 clue boxes and find the clue box that has the right picture for the game piece. They have to do it together. Nick & Starr finish this task just before Ken & Tina. The Frat boys haven't started it yet.
Now go downtown by taxi. Find the green dinosaur to find their next clue. Neither K&T or N&S's taxi driver seems to know where they are going. They are however passing each other in traffic but I don't think either knows where they are going. Nick & Starr find it first. Now travel on foot, search through food carts for flag from Russia where they will find their next clue. Ken & Tina finally find it. Now figure out what their clue is saying, go to voodoo place to find their clue. Must go on foot. Nick & Starr find out, Ken & Tina find a lady that tells them where they are going, but tells them to go a shorter way. I think they are all going to the wrong place. Nick & Starr find it. Ken & Tina find it. Now they need a taxi to go to the pit stop. Both teams having trouble finding one.
The Frat boys are way out of the loop as near as I can tell. This is between Nick & Starr and Ken & Tina. I'm rooting for Nick & Starr.
Nick & Starr get in a taxi moments before Ken & Tina. Ken & Tina are saying a prayer in their taxi. The first to arrive at the pit stop is....Nick & Starr - YAY!! Starr tells the other races lining the end that all of them are great racers and made it hard. Nick says how much he loves his sister and wants to see her succeed. Ken and Tina arrive second. He says they had their ups and downs but it looks like they reconnected. They are crying as he gives her a ring (their wedding ring maybe). She says Ken is a great person and he showed her how important she is and how important their marriage is. Good.
The Frat boys arrive last as team number 3. They get cheers. They say they ended how they started with an incredible amount of mistakes. But they are happy that they made it to the finals. Everyone is happy. Sadly I did not see Toni and Dallas. I think their passports being lost was a huge problem and they were not able to be there. They were not mentioned and I didn't see Starr with Dallas but I could have missed it. But I don't think so.
This was a good season of The Amazing Race. I am glad Nick and Starr were the winners and I'm even glad Ken & Tina seem to have gotten their marriage back on track. I still believe strong positive relationships help immensely with this race. And as always they go to interesting places and are asked to do interesting tasks relating to the culture. Good job racers and good job Phil, as always. Thanks for reading.
