At the start of the finale episode of The Amazing Race 12 I found myself for some odd reason, although not liking them since the start, wanting TK and Rachel to win it all. I knew they were pretty far behind Ron and Christina and I always root for the underdog for some odd reason. The top 3 teams this season were all underdogs in some respect but I didn’t want TK/Rachel to win until tonight. At first I wanted Don/Nick to win but quickly realized they probably wouldn’t catch up at all. Christina/Ron were in the lead the entire episode up until the last 10 minutes. The show finally pulled of a final challenge that was tight and didn’t really give one team the advantage and be the last thing they did until the finish line. By adding in a few final clues before the game came to an end they gave us one last nail bitter to the mat, even if it was editing induced.

Coming into this season of the Amazing Race I knew they had to pull off something well…. Amazing if they wanted a lucky 13th season. After the lackluster All Stars it seemed like the race was on its last leg but amazingly they pulled off one hell of a season! The casting was perfect as no team was dull from the start, which the race was in desperate need of. Each team was unique and had something special about them that made them interesting to watch. We had teams evolve throughout the race, several nail biting finishes and amazing moments to remember that season 12 will go down in the history books as the season that saved the Amazing Race. I congratulate TK and Rachel on their win after so much adversary in the past few legs and thank all the other teams (especially Nick/Don and Vyxsin/Kynt) for their entertainment these last few weeks. I look forward to the Amazing Race 13 and hope they can top themselves all over again!
