Last week the Globes went home. Only three teams remain...who will win THE AMAZING RACE??
The three remaining teams are:
Team USA - I can't believe they made it this far.
Rainbow
The Blondes
The Blondes have been strong this whole time. I predict that they will win the whole thing, but you never know with these things.
The teams are leaving from the Czech Republic. The Blondes are the first to depart at 11:10 a.m. and receive their first clue.
FIRST CLUE: Teams must now fly to their final destination, Las Vegas, Nevada!! Once there, they will travel to the Graceland Wedding Chapel to receive their next clue from Elvis.
The Blondes immediately head to a travel agent and get tickets to Vegas on a 6:40pm flight. Next to depart is Rainbow. They are very excited. They are trying to beat The Blondes and not fight with one another. Good luck with that. Meghan and Cheyne know that all the teams probably will be on the same flight out and they aren't going to arrive in Vegas until the following afternoon. Last to depart is Team USA. They say that they are out to get Rainbow for stabbing them in the back and stealing their cab. The Blondes and Rainbow are trying to figure out who the third team is - I guess they didn't know. They run into Team USA and they all hug. Rainbow apologizes to Team USA for stealing the cab. Brian says that he forgives them but he's not going to forget it.
They all arrive in Vegas on the flight and run out of the airport to find a cab. Team USA is first to get a cab, followed closely by The Blondes and Rainbow. They all arrive around the same time and run into the chapel to get their next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must make their way to Mandalay Bay.
They all race in their taxis to Mandalay Bay. Team USA arrives first and get the next clue.
ROADBLOCK: One team member must do a face-first rappel down the side of the building from the roof to the ground. When they reach the ground, they will receive their next clue.
Miss America is doing the roadblock because Brian is terrified of heights. Heh. She starts to rappel and the Blondes show up and Cheyne decides to go up to the roof. That actually looks really fun. Rainbow arrives as Miss America and Cheyne are making their way down the building. Sam is doing it for Rainbow. Miss America makes it down and receives the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must make their way to the Mirage.
Cheyne is not opening his eyes. Wuss. I would be looking and loving every minute. Team USA is on their way to the Mirage. Sam is motoring down the building. Sam: "Look at my little legs go." HAHA. Cheyne makes it down and the Blondes head to the Mirage. Sam makes it down and Rainbow gets a cab to the Mirage. They tell their driver that they'll pay him good money to get them to the Mirage quickly.
Team USA makes it to the Mirage and has their cab wait for them. They receive the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Teams now have a chance to join Cirque de Soleil's "LOVE." There are three bouquets of flowers suspended from the ceiling. One team member will be hooked up to a bungee cord and the other team member will launch that team member high enough in the air to retrieve one of the bouquets of flowers. Once they have the bouquet in their hands, they will hand it over to the "flower child" who will give them their next clue.
Miss America is going to be hooked up to bungee cords and Brian launches her up. The Blondes show up and Meghan is going to get launched. It's harder than it looks. Brian is on try #3. Now the Blondes go. Rainbow arrives and Dan is going to bounce. Miss America keeps getting close. Meghan is having some issues, too. She grabs flowers but not the whole bouquet. Miss America tells Brian that he's taller so he needs to do it. He tells her to try one more time. Meghan got the bouquet and Miss America SCREAMS at Brian to switch with her and "Get her down!" Damn. They will lose and she'll blame it on Brian. The Blondes get the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: "What's the most famous casino in the country of Monaco?" Teams must now figure out that the casino they're looking for is the Monte Carlo - where they'll get their next clue.
Rainbow is bouncing and, of course, Sam and Dan are bickering. Dan is bouncing because he's taller, but Sam is bitching because Dan is heavier. The Blondes ask a cab driver what the most famous casino in Monaco is and he says "the Venetian," but they are skeptical, as they should be. Dan is still bouncing and ... he gets the bouquet and the next clue. Miss America is freaking out. She's not "launching" Brian high enough and she totally breaks down saying she can't take it anymore. DRAMA. They decide to switch again. The Blondes are still trying to figure out where they are going. Rainbow gets into a cab and follows The Blondes. I guess they figure the Blondes know where they are going. Heh.
Team USA switches again and Miss America is frustrated. She's not reaching the bouquet and she's crying and screaming. I don't think she realizes that she needs to "try" and do some work. I think she expects Brian to just launch her ONTO the bouquet. She needs to reach for it. She is FREAKING OUT.
Rainbow calls 411 or something and finds out that they are looking for the Monte Carlo so they head there. The Blondes still can't figure it out and are freaking out because Rainbow isn't following them anymore.
Miss America FINALLY gets the bouquet and Team USA is off. Brian knows the answer right away and they head to the Monte Carlo. Rainbow arrives first and gets the next clue.
NEXT CLUE: Each poker table is covered with casino chips of various denominations. From the sea of over 8,000 chips, the teams must count out exactly $1 MILLION DOLLARS!!! The dealer will verify their amount, and if correct, they will get their next clue and a special chip!
Rainbow arrives and starts counting. They find the red chips ($1000) and try to collect only those. The Blondes stop somewhere and find out that the answer is Monte Carlo. They head out but they are stuck in traffic. Team USA arrives and they start counting. The Blondes arrive and have the same idea as the others - getting the red chips. They are all stacking the red chips. I'm so TENSE right now. All 3 teams are done and waiting for the dealers to verify their amounts. WOW, the Blondes really made up some time.
The BLONDES got it right, got the clue and the $1M chip. The other teams were incorrect and need to recount their chips.
NEXT CLUE: Teams must make their way to the MGM Grand and find the Highrollers' Suite where Mr. Las Vegas - aka Wayne Newton - will tell them the location of the finish line.
The Blondes ask people who Mr. Las Vegas is, but I'm not sure they need to know that. They head to the MGM. Rainbow is...RIGHT! They get their clue and their chip. Team USA is incorrect and has to recount again.
The Blondes arrive and make their way to Suite 88. Wayne Newton tells them that the finish line is at his house...and that's it!
The Blondes go back to the taxi and tell the driver to take them to Wayne Newton's house. Rainbow makes it to Suite 88 and Wayne tells them the same thing. They didn't know his name!! Wayne Newton had to tell them who he was. How embarrassing. Rainbow heads out to Wayne Newton's house.
It's a race between the Blondes and Rainbow! The Blondes arrive and run to Phil with all the teams cheering them on.
The winners of The Amazing Race are CHEYNE AND MEGHAN!!! I'm totally crying. They are so happy. Very exciting!! All the teams are so cute. I missed those Farmers and Besties!!
Rainbow runs up second and they are disappointed, but they made it to the end. Finally, Team USA runs up for the third place spot. Phil asks what her family will think of Brian now that he's run this race with her (apparently, they don't like that he's white). Brian starts to cry and Miss America tells him "OMG. Not now." and then answers that she hopes they fully accept him for who he is.
I still LOVE the Farmers and Besties. See you next time!!
