I'm not thrilled with the winners. I just tell myself that he deserves a half-mil for putting up with her 'until death do us part'. So sad about the mom on Tar season 1. What a horribly disease and gone too soon.

it looks like it was at least an hour, according to a tvguide.com interview... Oregonguy- Flo was the worst winner ever. Zack deserved to win just for surviving going around the world with her

I didn't start watching AR till Season 3. Flo and Zack won it the first time I watched. I hated her, but thought maybe he deserved to win, for putting up with her. Are they still together?

As Tishla and Sean both stated, Cindy was kind of vague about how the million dollars was going to help people everywhere. Talk's cheap.

Cindy will get a reality check when she finds out how much $$ Uncle Sam will take from the million and then to see how far the left overs will go. She was really vague and I think she wanted to sound good and honorable but had no clue as to what it would take, moneywise, to do what she wants. I hope they get a good financial advisor to sort it all out so that the money isn't wasted.

Roxip, when I was googling, I came across an article where Flo decided to give Zach her share of the money. Evidently, she was getting harassed by viewers everywhere that she didn't deserve the money.

I'd like to see the bank accounts on that one Lexie. It's really easy to say you gave the money away. She probably blew it! For those who didn't watch, Flo was a nightmare. Much, much worse than high strung "A student" Cindy. If I recall correctly, Flo was pretty nasty to her partner and Cindy seemed to be mostly okay to hers.

Cindy was just wound too tight, and I wasn't thrilled that she won, but I think she's basically a good person. Flo just came across as a completely miserable person, and the way she flirted with that one twin right in front of Zack just made me sick. Zack completely carried that chick through the race, while at least Cindy did her fair share.

Cindy is the product of high pressure Asian parents. When you have had outside pressure on you for many years, it is hard not to put it on yourself and others. I saw this many times in my Asian exchange students. Of course, there were those others who were free for the first times in their lives and "let it all hang out!!"

How can I get to Amazing Race on line? I fell asleep in the middle of it but woke up for the end? Comcast on Demand has Survivor but not Amazing Race.

Yep.. I bet she had a "Tiger mom". Julie Chen has talked about her mom as a Tiger Mom too. Lots of my asian classmates at Berkeley were very driven,by self and parents. Cindy does seem to have a sense of humor about it. I had one Vietnamese co-worker who had a very good job that he seemed to love, but quit to go work in IT at a bank, where titles were more inflated, because his wife had a project lead title and he didn't. And a Chinese co-worker who was always stressed about title and making more money so his younger wife could stay home with their child.. he became obsessed with the price of our stock (I worked with him at two companies and it was that way at each one) and when I was leading a team working to get a big bonus.. and if we made our deadline the whole division would get a smaller bonus, this guy would bug me almost daily. It really was like he was under pressure. And he left the second job for another opportunity but then something went wrong with a stock deal and he committed suicide. So sad that he was THAT driven to outwardly succeed. His child was just adorable and his wife seemed like a lovely woman but he never really seemed to be able to enjoy them. So I'm happy to see Cindy as relaxed as she is. I'm puzzled why it is somehow assumed that she lied about her intentions for the money. If it was being made up, then Ernie was in on it too. And I hardly think they are unaware of the tax bite there will be on their prize. I think Ethan will be happy to advise them on starting up a charity. I'm pretty confident that they won't be spending their money on drugs like certain BB winner and runner up did. But then of course I never believed that Tommy and Andy really intended to buy an elephant if they won Flo was just horrible!

Good interview with winners. Explains the charity they are starting, etc. They are getting married March 10th! And yes, she said her parents called her after every show asking why they made this or that mistake. Hope this link works http://www.tvguide.com/News/Amazing-Race-Winners-Ernie-Cindy-1040747.aspx

Sheesh. I'd like to see her parents do the show. They were full value for the win.
