'The
Amazing Race' Season 30 Finale Recap: And the Winner
Is...
Wednesday,

It is the final lap of The
Amazing Race as the top four teams (Extreme, Big
Brother, Indy Car and Yale) battle it out for the top spot.
Not only will the winning team join the ranks of 30 seasons
of winners, but they will go home $1 million richer! So
which duo will arrive first at Phil Keoghan 's welcome
mat for the last time? Let's find out!


In
first place, Indy Car leads the final four to Hong Kong
where they must find a cute, nerdy guy for their next clue.
Let's hope there are no vital documents left behind
during this leg. It seems that the more important matter at
hand is the fact that Extreme, Big Brother and Indy Car are
all friends, while Yale is the odd team out. This might give
Henry and Evan an advantage to focus on what lies ahead, or
it may just cost them the prize. 
For
coming in last in the previous leg, Yale must complete a
Speed Bump. They must light and hang 40 lanterns. Sounds
pretty easy, honestly. This gives Extreme time to catch up
after their taxi driver got lost on the way to the clue. The
three top teams are trekking behind one another with Yale
tagging behind. 
One Pinchy Situation
Detours
are next; "Hairy Crab" and "Grub Grab."
In "Hairy Crab," teams will need to prepare the
crabs in a simulated typhoon. "Grub Grab" pulls
inspiration from the American game "Telephone"
where teams have to listen to customers in a restaurant
relay their orders, then decipher which dish belongs to
which guest. 
Has
anyone else picked up on how much Conor of the Indy Car duo
complains? I understand these are less than ideal situations
when it comes to the tasks, but does he truly believe they
would be easy? While attempting to wrap rope around angry
crabs, Conor yelps at each pinch. Ultimately, he and Alex
decide to switch so that his dainty digits aren't lost
at sea. (He does use them for his job, you know.) They leave
Extreme and Big Brother to fend off the remaining crabs and
eventually join Yale at the restaurant.
Henry
might know a bit of Mandarin, but his attention to phonetics
is what put Team Yale in the lead, leaving Indy Car confused
and in the dust. Meanwhile, Extreme and Big Brother have
finally wrapped up their new crab friends.
A Broken Masterpiece
The
Roadblock looks like the most fun out of any challenge seen
so far, possibly ever. One team member must take a bat to
old electronics and find two halves of a clue then finish
off their masterpiece with a splash of paint. All the while,
their partner is handcuffed to a briefcase, looking on.
Still in the lead, Yale takes off with the next clue in the
briefcase. They have to look for signs pertaining to
previous legs which will translate into numbers (the number
leg of the race). The numbers, when put into the correct
order, unlock the case and reveal the address to the next
clue.
There
are millions of signs along a busy street and the first two
teams to arrive, Indy Car and Yale, are struggling, so they
allude to working together, but it seems short lived. Big
Brother soon shows up and grabs Indy Car's assistance.
Little do they know, Yale has secretly figured the
combination out and revealed the location of their next
clue. While running away, Henry shouts some helpful words to
Indy Car, but they don't catch on. The lead is now
significantly growing as Extreme joins their friends in the
sea of signs.
Joining
other historic Amazing Racers, Yale joins only three other
teams when they come back from completing a Speed Bump to
win the leg. Big Brother will arrive to the mat in second
place, but they aren't happy whatsoever. The thought of
losing one of their friends, Indy Car or Extreme, puts a
damper in their plans. 
Extreme
figures the combination and gets to the map in third place,
rounding out the final three teams in the finale. Sadly,
after passing by the one sign they needed time and time
again, having drunkards point it out to them numerous times,
Indy Car still cannot put two and two together. Phil
delivers the bad news to them himself. 
Going home is... Team Indy
Car.
The
finale three teams leave Hong Kong and travel to San
Francisco, California in search of the Willie Mays statue at
the AT&T Stadium for their next clue. It's here that
they learn they must look for baseballs that the mascot is
throwing into McCovey Cove. The balls will give the correct
number of home runs Willie Mays hit in his career. A minor
injury is had as Cody twists his ankle running down a ramp.
Does this stop him? Not at all. He continues to tackle the
task like a beast!
Hold
on to your britches, folks, this next Road Block is quite
the doozy. It involves climbing up the tallest structure in
the history of The
Amazing Race, the Bay Bridge. Keep in mind that Cody
sprained his ankle, one member of each team must pull
themselves up the bridge by rope, then once at the top, they
have to freefall 20 stories into a black abyss to return to
their teammate. Yale has quickly found their way to the back
of the pack as Evan struggles to reach the
platform.
Now
teams have to make fortune cookies. (What will this show
come up with next? I would much rather eat them than make
them, but to each their own.) Just when you count Yale out,
they come right back. Henry and Evan catch up to Extreme and
Big Brother, folding cookies and filling out trays. Team
Extreme is on a mission, though, and hurriedly advances to
the next stage of the leg. Big Brother finishes next but
loses their spot in second place while frantically scouring
the streets for a taxi. This is anyone's race!
The Ultimate Ending
The
last of this season's tasks is pretty cool, yet
incredibly difficult-looking as far as endurance. Extreme is
the first team to the USS Hornet where they will search the
ship for 12 parts that, when assembled, construct a
miniature plane. Back and forth, teams must run all around
the ship, searching for these pieces and then one of them
has to muster up the mental strength, while exhausted, to
put the thing together. 
So
get this...The pieces are adorned with images that represent
various legs of the race. Not all of the pieces need to be
used, only six of them fit. You simply have to arrange the
correct pieces so that each leg is represented. It's the
ultimate puzzle. Yale has been known as the brains of the
race, but at any moment the other teams could find the
correct combination. One after another, Jenn, Henry and
Jessica receive a thumbs down from the judge. Tensions are
at an all time high as hours have passed by and Phil
continues to wait at the opposite end of the ship.
Personally,
I think this is A LOT to put on just one person after an
entire race of locations to remember. Why not allow both
teammates to play their part in the end? I wonder if Evan
will hang this over Henry's head if they fail to
win. 
After
seeing that Henry had the correct combination and second
guesses himself (gut wrenching to watch), Jessica gets it
right. She rolls her plane over to Cody and together they
run to the mat where the much coveted words "You have
won The
Amazing Race," are spoken over the applause from
their former competitors. 
The winner of The
Amazing Race is... Team Big
Brother!
Well,
it looked too good to be true from the beginning that
Jessica and Cody would continue to be such a fan favorite
and strong competitor throughout the race, but they did it.
Did your favorite win? Were they the team you guessed would
win it all? Join the conversation below and let us know what
you think!
