Now they edited it in a way I can't tell which team is ahead by how much.

Ooooo! The ultimate challenge. Things have to do with each and every pass leg! Fifteen items but only ten are correct. Chris is up.

Christina still struggling to get up. She's slowly pulling herself up little by little as TK/Rachel getting suited up. She says she had to toughen up and power through. She's getting up now.

TK on his way up the glacier as Ron/Christina make it to the clue box. Take helicopter to Merrill Field. Then go by taxi to Goose Lake Park to get next clue. The head off to helicopter.

Rachel slipping on the ice as TK makes it up. Rachel is going now and she makes it to the top. They get clue and head off to helicopter.

Don struggles some and then gets going as Nic gets started at the bottom. Now Nic is having some troubles getting up.

TK/Rachel talking about how they really need to catch up with Chris/Ron. Christina/Ron are in a cab now and off to the park.

Nic/Don in their copter as TK/Rachel are landing. TK/Rachel are off in their cab.

Ron/Christina arrive at clue box. Final Roadblock. Face field of objects they encountered along race course. They must put 10 items that match two different requirements. Only 1 item from each prior leg and ... dang it, I lost it. There's a long list of number of types of things they're allowed to have. There are lots of ways to do it but only one correct combo. Once they have all 10, the clue box will open and they'll get the next clue.

Christina is doing it. They can't use pen or pencil to do the challenge. We get a quick fast forward look at what the right things are. Christina gets the U-Turn first and then does the two things required at the pit stop.

Nic/Don getting off their helicopter as TK/Rachel are on their way to the park.

Christina is stuck on something to do with transportations.

TK/Rachel finally at the park and Rachel is going to do it. TK says that Rachel is really smart. Rachel puts the U-Turn on the stage.

Ahh, each item can only represent one leg of the race. Rachel and Christina both working away. Not sure how far along each are.

Nic/Don arrive and Nic is going to do it.

Nic decides to put everythign on stage and then figure out what's what. Christina is done but it didn't open. She has Ireland wrong. She's not sure what could be wrong.

Rachel has 10 things but she has three legs wrong.

Nic is working and he's only got 3 right at this point. Christina realizes she has two Irelands on there. She thinks 3 animal by products are messing her up. SHe isn't sure if the guy is an animal.

Rachel says she has never seen that stick.

Christina now has 4 things wrong, no 3.

Rachel isn't sure what she has wrong. The other three aren't sure where they are. The other tree are stuck on t heir wrong objects.

LOL! R did not remember the stick to hop over stream and Nic forgot the gun that scared everyone at that one pit stop.

And poor Chris had too many animals.
I think they're counting milk, as animal by-product and she's not on that track.

Sea: Yes and no... the gloves were in the bag which helped with the crabs. :-) So it was just for either of those two tasks that they needed it but they may have not been sure if they'd get penalized if they didn't use the gear since the clue specified that they should pick it up.

Back with Ron, TK, and Don waiting. Ron says it is obviously a difficult puzzle to solve.

Rachel says there is definitely a formula that was going to work for this. She says she knew she needed to stay calm. Rachel is trying the pole stick and now working through what she needs to take off. Suddenly Rachel remembers that the pole vault was Netherlands. Now she is working through each item. She is done and gets it right.

She comes running. They have to find Captain Cook Statue to get next clue. They have to travel by taxi and figure out where they need to go. The clue, "Find Cook's eye view of Sleeping Lady." Taxi tells them that the Sleeping Lady is across the inlet and they can see it on the hill.

Christina gets it right and they are off in taxi. Their driver says he knows.

TK/Rachel's driver thinks he needs to turn around.

Editors trying to not show us who gets there first but it's TK/Rachel. Find Salmon Hooker for next clue. Have to go by foot into downtown to find that statue. They ask someone and get directions. Ron/Christina get exact directions. Then TK/Rachel get better directions. Both are running now.

TK/Rachel find it and get clue. Take taxi to Girdwood Airport and run to finish line. THey head off for taxi. Ron/Christina getting taxi now too.

Both teams in their cabs and on the way. TK says this is intense.

Ron talks about how he learned a lot about how to become a better person.

We see both cabs arriving at the same time even though I'm sure they aren't arriving together. Editors hide who gets out but TK and Rachel racing up now to the cheering and claps from the other teams.

TK/Rachel are the official winners of the Amazing Race. Phil congratulates them. TK says he can't believe it, that he's speechless and none of this even seems real. Phil asks how their relationship changed and TK says their relationship has only grown. They kiss and hug. TK says he is so proud of Rachel.

Ron/Christina running up now. They congratulate TK/Rachel. Christina/Ron are the second team to finish the race. Christina says there is no one else in the entire world she would have run this race with... Ron says he came up with the first place in his daughter's heart and he changed for the better. Ron is choked up as he tells Christina that he loves her. He says he had the elation of bonding with her for the entire race. Christina says the deepening of their relationship is worth far more than a million dollars.

Nic/Don are team #3. The others clap for them. Phil says that Don is the oldest person to have ever made it this far in the amazing race. Phil wants to know if he ever thought he'd get this far and Don says, "Yes, but not in third." Nic says he got everything he wanted and more besides winning. Others gathering around and giving them hugs and cheering for Don. Don was happy to have been able to go all the way for every leg.

Rachel says TK is her best friend and her rock and her favorite person. She is happy she got to do this with him. TK says that being able to do this race without compromising their relationship just proves that nice guys can finish first.

Sorry, Rae! I didn't mean to steal your thunder. Like I said, no one on this side of the screen wants to hear about any reality shows.

Thank you so much again, Rae, for filling me in on those Sundays I couldn't be around!

...Although DD was watch Mole with me today ... There's hope!

That was great! First time I loved the final three and would be happy no matter who won. I think I was pulling for Don and Nick, probably because they were more the underdogs. Still happy with the ending!

Yay!

This was a great final leg. The scenery was breathtaking and the challenges were designed to make the teams really earn that win. There were no major taxi or flight problems. It was close and exciting, and my favorites won! I was happy with the three final teams.

Haha, you didn't steal my thunder, Chy! People like to know the winners as soon as possible. Plus it was hard to capture that puzzle challenge anyway so they're all just going to have to watch it to see how it went down.
