final_threeAfter watching the Emmy's this weekend, some people called the win for The Amazing Race an upset over Survivor or The Apprentice. After the finale for the fifth season of the Amazing Race, nobody in their right mind could question the quality of this show. The shows that involve voting off other contestants are great, but they become much more formulaic during the course of the season and especially during the final episode. The Amazing Race has a format featuring parts that look the same every week, but end up being unbelievably diverse and unpredictable as you sit through each installment. For this seasons last episode, we had Chip and Kim, Colin and Christie, Brandon and Nicole, and the Bowling Moms, Linda and Karen. Four teams fought to earn a million dollars, and if I sound overly dramatic, it's about one percent of the drama they packed into this episode.

At the end of the last leg, the big story was Colin and Christie. Chip and Kim finished first, and used the Yield to delay the two Texans, and Colin and Christie looked like they were bent on revenge. The Bowling Moms made it into second place, as high of a finish as they have had during the whole race and Brandon and Nicole were not far behind. The first step of the race involved making it onto one of two charter planes separated by 45 minutes, and flying to another provence in the Philippines. Chip and Kim and Brandon and Nicole made it on the first charter, leaving the Bowling Moms and Colin and Christie on the second

Even though they finished last and had to confiscate all their money and go without a stipend for this leg, Colin and Christie had no problem begging for it, just like everybody else who was saved by a non-elimination leg. Although I liked the idea of not giving the losing team any money, in reality this little twist didn't do much because three out of the final four teams, and four out of the last five were saved by a non-elimination leg. Chip and Kim were the only people that didn't finish last at some point, although they came close several times.
