Twelve teams came to Los
Angeles to compete in a race around the world for $1
million. One of them didn't even get to the airport. The
other 11 faced trials and tribulations that bound them
together and split them apart. In the end, though, three
teams were able to overcome all of the adversity...
Ericka Dunlap & Brian Kleinschmidt, the comeback story
of the season, Sam & Dan McMillen, gay brothers who were
able to quit bickering enough to work together on some
tasks, and Meghan Rickey & Cheyne Whitney, the dominant
dating couple with multiple wins behind their back and
multiple first names. Now that they've had the adventure
of a lifetime around the world... it's time to see who
will cross the finish line and win the 15th running of
the Amazing Race!

much?
