This Is How
You Lose a Million Dollars Eleven teams left from Los Angeles on a race around the world, battling the elements and each other for one million dollars. Over time, eight of them were eliminated through faults of their own or faults of other teams. Now only three remain: Margie & Luke Adams, a mother-son team whose son is deaf... Victor & Tammy Jih, siblings and Harvard Law alums... and Cara Rosenthal & Jaime Edmondson, former Dolphins cheerleaders. Which one will arrive at the finish line first? PIT STOP Victor & Tammy are the first to get the clue that will begin the FINAL LEG!
Tammy knows that there is going to be a lot of competition, so they're planning on bringing their A game. They make it to the airport first, but can't yet book their flight until 6am. Perfect time for Margie & Luke to catch up as they head out on their amazing adventure. Cara & Jaime finally head out at 2:04a. All teams are on the final flight from China to Maui. MAUI, HAWAII The teams hail cabs and get going to Shore Access #118, some changing along the way there. Victor & Tammy are the first to arrive at the pigs, followed by Cara & Jaime. Margie & Luke make it to the scene and catch up to the other teams, who drop their pigs. Excuse us. We're just passing through. Margie & Luke are the first to arrive at the luau, but can they properly bury it before the others arrive? No, but they do finish before the others.
Hope your taxi is still there. It is. Victor & Tammy realize that their pig is buried wrong. The palm fronds don't have anything to do with the setup. The other two teams finish as Margie & Luke arrive at the beach. They're going to have to swim to the watercraft, but they make it to the buoy field first. Will they find the clue? Never mind that, will they be able to stay on their craft? The answer to one of these questions... a resounding yes!
Meanwhile, the other two teams figure out how to find the next clue. Cara & Jaime have no problem in that effort. Victor & Tammy are soon behind. Margie & luke arrive at the Surfboard Fence first and find...
Luke gets the nod on this one. He knows everything they did and everywhere we went... Leg 1: Church of San Antonio His biggest problem: keeping his pants up. He decides midway to just lose the pants altogether. Meanwhile, Cara & Jaime once again have the dubious fortune to a) get the cabbie that doesn't know where they're going and 2) need gas. Tammy & Victor arrive at the Roadblock as Luke is almost finished. Victor loses his pants as well. But we have a problem as Luke is wrong on board #10... and #11. Victor's right on #10 and #11. Jaime arrives to perform the Roadblock... and Margie & Luke still need to find those last two boards... Victor's going to catch up... Don't give up, Luke... ... and Victor has caught up! And Luke's one ahead... and Victor's caught up again! And he's done!
Victor & Tammy head out on their way as the other two teams struggle to finish! They team up to finish... and because Jaime is a woman of her word, she helps Luke find his final board. And all Luke can do is mope that he cost his team the Race. Same thing with Jaime. Meanwhile, it's nothing but smooth sailing for Victor & Tammy as they race toward Phil and his parade of the eliminated... Preston & Jennifer (The Cock Fighters), Steve & Linda (The Hicks from the Sticks), Brad & Victoria (The Badass Older Couple), Amanda & Kris (The Amandakris), Christie & Jodi (Team Fly by Night), Mel & Mike (Team West Hollywood), Mark & Michael (The Super Stunt Brothers), and Kisha & Jen (the Cardinal Sisters). And on the green to welcome the winners off the Race... Phil himself. Let's let him make it official. Phil Keoghan, it is all yours. "Three continents, nine countries, 40,000 miles. Tammy & Victor, you are the OFFICIAL WINNERS OF THE AMAZING RACE! Congratulations, you have won the $1 million!" Victor tried to enjoy the race as it was, and he finds it hard to believe that he's here where he is. Tammy... she has no pants on. She has been pushed her whole life, and she's proven that though they think differently, she's as valuable as he is. Cara & Jaime arrive as team #2. Jaime blames herself for her brainfart at the Roadblock, but Cara says that it's a team game. For them, second is not too shabby. And taking the bronze this season... Margie & Luke. Luke admits that his mother is the bionic woman. He's very lucky to have the mother he does. Margie's very happy to have his son on the Race as well. First deaf person on the Race.. he's proud of that. Other deaf people can say... hey... that can be me up there! Take this from this season of the race, from the Victor (pun intended): "Doing the crazy, unexpected, completely unconventional... It actually makes like sorta interesting." Group montage... wave to the camera... fade to black... and look forward to the 15th running coming this fall... Until then... don't forget to go out and do stuff... and we'll see you back here on Race Day.
