DUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!
After the Teams took a thrilling skydive over Normandy, France, dating couple Rob & Kimberly had the race nearly won by booking the earliest flight to New York alone until models Tyler & James got on the plane at the last moment. In the Big Apple, an E-Z Pass through a tollbooth made all the difference as Tyler & James left Rob & Kimberly in the dust to claim the one million dollar prize as winners of THE AMAZING RACE.
While a little disappointed, dating couple Rob & Kimberly crossed the finish line in second place amid cheers from the other Teams. Kimberly remarked, "This is one of the hardest things I've ever done and I'm proud of the fact that we made it this far. Most relationships don't get put through this." Rob added, "We had our ups and downs, but we have a great relationship it turns out. I really am in love with this woman."After claiming third place, Karlyn summed up here experience, saying, "I have just been around the world and I've learned that I can do whatever I set my mind to and it's just been the best blessing. It's just like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. That's the thing I want to give my daughter from this experience." A tearful Lyn added, "To finish the actual race and then to make history and be the first female Team that means a lot."
To sum up the feelings of his winning Team, Tyler reflected, "James and I just went through so many countries and it just seems like a blur, a time warp. But we went through all those things and we actually finished at the top. Ever since I've been sober, that's how I feel like my life has been is, it feels too good to be true, like when am I going to wake up? We won the game of life. Now we won The Amazing Race too."
See yaw next year!
