Sunday night was the season premiere of The Amazing Race 14. Some of the teams competing includes Luke and Margie (hearing impaired son and mother), Christine and Jodi (flight attendants), Jaime and Cara (former NFL cheerleaders), and Mel and Mike (father and son. Mel is gay and Mike is a screenwriter whose credits include School of Rock).

The race started off at the Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, California as the teams arrived by helicopters. After they ran to get their bags, they learned that they have to travel to Locarno, Switzerland. The teams have two flights: an earlier flight that would take them to Zurich while another takes them to Milan, Italy. They have to travel by train to Locarno.

Preston and Jennifer missed the train in Milan and have to wait for another. Already, they started bickering. During the train ride, the flight attendants Christine and Jodi followed the lady and left the train for another ride.

Upon arriving to Locarno, the teams travel to the Church of San Antonio where they will sign up for departure time and sleep over at the camp site. Steve and Linda were complaining that they were slow at the race, and Steve was complaining to his wife about it. Another candidate for Team Bicker.

After leaving the church, the teams received a postcard with a picture of the next destination: The Verzasca Dam. Upon arriving, they learned that the Road Block is for one member to take an 70 ft. bungee jump dive off the dam. Some of the teams are obviously nervous, especially Christine and Jodi. The jump was awesome. Scary but awesome.

After the bungee jump, the teams raced to take the train to Interlaken. Flight attendants Christine and Jodi, thinking that they were taking the same ride as married couple Brad and Victoria, took the earlier train. But, the married couple took the latter ride but would arrived at Interaken earlier than the women. The flight attendants realized that they were misled.

When the teams arrived at the hills, they learned that have to carry these cheese carriers up the slippery hills and transport rounds of cheese downhill to stack 200 lbs of cheese. The teams struggled to get up the hills and have to deal with these antique carriers breaking down, having cheese rolling down the hills, and slipping and sliding down the hills. The men down the hill were laughing. It was hilarious.

After finishing with the cheese, the teams traveled to the town of Stechelberg and follow the sounds of yodelers to a postal bus stop for the Pit Stop. In the end, hearing-impaired Luke and his mother Margie came in first and won a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Meanwhile, in a close race between Christine/Jodi and Preston/Jennifer for the last spot, the couple of Preston and Jennifer came in last and was eliminated. That's just about great. Who will be Team Bicker?

CATCH YOU SUNDAY!!!!!!

It was another good episode of The Amazing Race.

The teams realized that they would have to fly to Munich, Germany and go to the village of Ruhpolding and travel via cable car to the top of the mountain. Most of the teams had booked their flights by cell phones. All of the teams with the exceptions of Micheal/Mark and Christine/Jodi were on the earlier flight.

Upon reaching the top of the mountain, one member of the team must perform a Road Block where one member, with an instructor, will paraglide down the mountain with their partner travel by cable car to the bottom to meet them. In case the winds are being too rough to fly, the team must decide if they could wait until the wind change or hike down the mountain. Well, the winds became too rough, and all of the teams decided to hike with the exception of Mel/Mike. With great luck, the wind did change as Mel did the paraglide. All I have to say that it looked breath-taking!!!! Meanwhile, while hiking down the mountain, Linda missed the sign and got lost in the Alps. She found a woman that took her back to the spot of the mountain she got lost.

Meanwhile, Margie and Luke formed an alliance with Jaime and Cara.

Upon arriving to the bottom of the mountain, the teams must travel to Schonau Am Konigsee. Upon arriving, the teams must perform a Detour by choosing one of two tasks: Balancing Dolly or Austrian Folly. In Balancing Dolly, the teams must ride a Segway through an obstacle course. On Austrian Folly, the teams must throw pies to, not knowing upon arriving, each other until they can find the one with a cherry filling. The second task looked fun.

After the task was done, the teams travel to a woodcutter booth where it saw a piece of wood and stamped for the next location, which is the Pit Stop at Schlois Hellbrunn. In the end, the brother/sister team of Tammy and Victor came in first and won hybrid go-carts.

Meanwhile, the sister team of Kisha and Jen went in the one direction, and little sister Jen is sick and tired by being treated like a little sister by Kisha. Meanwhile, after finishing the pie-throwing task, Christine and Jodi can't find the woodcutting booth. Despite being lost, Christine and Jodi narrowly avoided being eliminated again at the Pit Stop. In the end, Steve and Linda finished last and were eliminated. They cried after finishing last.

One humorous moment was that Mel and Mike can't open the gates to get in the Pit Stop. They finished second however.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams have to travel by train to Munich and fly to Bucharest, Romania. Once there, the teams have to go to a gymnastic hall where Olympic Gold Medalist Nadia Comaneci trained.

The brother/sister team of Tammy and Victor took the early lead and booked an early flight. However, during the flight, the plane experienced some difficulties and have to return back to Munich. As a result, they have to go on an 9:30 flight with some of the teams. The Married couple of Brad and Victoria missed their flight and have to take another flight in the morning.

Upon arriving the hall, the teams have to take a Detour where one member have to perform three gymnastic disciplines: balance beam, parallel bars, and floor exercises. Once the member did the disciplines correctly and in order, the team will go to the next stop. After getting lost on the way to the hall, Tammy struggled with the exercises and Victor was on her case.

After the teams completed the Detour, they have to travel to Brasov, Transylvania and go to the Biserica Neagra, a.k.a. the Black Church. On the way, Luke continued to communicate with Jaime and Cara. After arriving there, it was a Road Block of either Gypsy Moves or Vampire Remains. On Gypsy Moves, the teams have to pack a Gypsy family's belongings to an old cart and deliver them to a new site and unpack them. On Vampire Remains, the teams have to drag a coffin and unlock a series of locks. Then, after the coffin is unopen, they have to find a frame by impaling them on a wooden stake that was inspired by Dracula to find a flag to give for the next clue.

Former cheerleaders Jaime and Cara have a bad time with their cab driver who doesn't know how to get to the vampire site. Meanwhile, Mel and Mike were having problems with the physical aspects of the Gypsy Move task. Tammy and Victor followed the wrong path with the red and white sticker upon the mountain. But, Victor is too stubborn to listen to his younger sister until much, much later. After the finished dragging the coffin down, they lost the keys and have to search for it.

Amanda and Kris was worried because they lost their fanny pack that contains their money and passport. They found it when they went back to where they unpack the Gypsy's belongings. Mike and Mel came in first and won a trip to Costa Rica.

Tammy and Victor came in next to last, and Victor cried. He learned to listen to his sister more, and Tammy learned to speak up more.

Brad and Victoria came in last and were eliminated. That's sad. :(

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race.

The teams found out that have to travel to Siberia via Moscow. The flight attendants Christine and Jodi booked their flights in an internet cafe. One amusing moment occurred when the stuntmen brothers Micheal and Mark tried to book their flights on the phone and accidentally called Jaime and Cara. The women played along and had a little fun with them.

Some of the teams took the earlier flight while others have to wait at Moscow to get their connecting flights. Upon arriving, they have to go to a hydroelectric dam that was pictured on the side of the clue. While there, they get a clue that stated that they have to travel to a church for the next clue. The clue was a Detour that have the teams to either do Stack or Construct. In Stack, the teams have to stack firewood in certain way. In Construct, the teams have to construct wood shutters correctly and place them to a house that have a sign saying construction needed. At first, Micheal and Mark did the firewood, but their wall fell down and have to stack them again. So, they went to Construct. However, they got lost finding the house.

After the teams finished the Detour, they have to go to an amusement park to do a Road Block. One member have to ride a bobsled at the speed of 55 mph under four minutes. While riding, the rider have to find seven letters and, after riding, have to spell to say a famous Russian playwright, which is Chekhov. Prior to the Road Block, there's an U-Turn where teams can use on another team to perform the other Detour challenge. But, there's a twist, it's a Blind U-Turn where no one knows which team U-Turned them. Margie and Luke decided to U-turn Amanda and Kris.

Speaking of Amanda and Kris, they, along with Mel/Mike, switched from Stack to Construct because their walls fell down. Like Micheal and Mark, they were having problems finding the house until much later. When they arrived to the U-Turn station, Amanda and Kris was mad that someone U-Turn them. They thought it was Christine and Jodi or Kisha and Jen.

Back at the Road Block, Luke was frustrated that he's struggling with the Russian name. But, he did eventually spelled it correctly, and they finished fourth. Christine and Jodi came in first and won motorcycles.

Micheal and Mark were short on cash to pay the cab driver and even offered their jackets. But, they resolved the money issue and came in next to last. Amanda and Kris came in last and were eliminated. Sad to see a nice couple go.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams found out that they have to take the train to Novosibirsk and take a cab to Puknte Technicheskovo Kontrolya for their next clue. They found it that all of the teams will take the same overnight train. During the ride, Mel and Mike knew that Luke and Margie pulled an U-Turn on Amanda and Kris.

Upon arriving, Kisha and Jen went the wrong way to find a cab and have to turn back. The next clue was a Detour where the teams could either do the Russian Bride or Russian Snowplow. I Russian Bride, the team have to search the apartment building and find the room with a bride. Then, they have to drive and find a church where her groom is. Once their picture was took, the team will get the next clue. In Russian Snowplow, the teams have to take turns driving a snowplow to clear the track of snow in a stadium. Jaime/Cara and Margie/Luke decided to take the Russian Snowplow and followed Victor/Tammy. When Julie/Cara stopped at the gas station to ask for directions, Tammy/Victor asked the cab driver for directions and left without them. The women were upset about this move. Then, when Margie and Luke asked a woman for directions, Tammy/Victor saw it and left. Now, Margie and Luke were upset. Despite the move, the three teams arrived at the stadium at about the same time.

Meanwhile, Christine and Jodi asked a couple of drunk guys for directions for the apartment complex to find the Russian bride. Then, after finding the bride, they got lost finding the church. They even got to the wrong church.

Kisha and Jen were having car problems throughout the race.

After finishing the Detour, the teams have to travel to Gosudarstvennaya Publichnaya Nauchnaya Tekhnicheskaya Biblioteka, the largest library in Siberia. Upon arriving, the teams have to perform a Road Block. The task is for one member to run a marathon in the freezing cold in Siberia in their underwear to the Novosibirsk Ballet and Opera Theater where their teammates will be waiting. It also the Pit Stop. Victor was upset that Tammy will be doing the Road Block because he wanted to run in his undies. Margie and Luke came in first and won a trip for two to St. Lucia.

After finishing first in the last leg, Christine and Jodi came in last. However, they were spared because it was a non-elimination leg. However, as punishment, they would have to perform a Road Block sometime during the next leg, which could hinder their race.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams have to fly to Jaipur, India (nicknamed the Pink City) with a stop in Moscow. Upon arriving there, they have to take a cab to The Sacred Tree for their next clue. Some of the teams had cab problems, including Mike/Mel when their driver have to leave to ask for directions and Christine and Jodi when their cab ran out of gas.

While riding through the city, some of the teams were affected by watching the poverty of the city. Luke cried while watching the people and animals. When the teams arrived to The Sacred Tree, they encountered two men sitting under the tree with a red telephone. They have to dial one of four numbers to get the next clue, which is to travel to the Amber Fort parking lot. Some of the teams were searching around the tree and passing by the phone. Margie and Luke didn't understand the message and ask the driver to follow the other cabs.

Upon reaching Amber Fort, their next clue was a Road Block, in which one member have to deliver food and water by using traditional Indian devices to feed the camels. Once there were enough food and water, the team will get the next clue. Mel, who is in his 60's, was struggling carrying the water. But, once he finished, he used the basket to carry the hay while some of the other members didn't saw the basket and carried the hay by using the water bucket or stuffing their shirts until they finally saw the baskets. One of the memorable scenes was when one of the camels kicked one of the men taking care of it.

After finishing the Road Block, the teams traveled to a puppet show to get the next clue, which is a Detour. The teams can either perform Movers or Shakers. In Movers, the teams have to carry these huge barrels via rickshaws through the busy streets to a gate and search them to find a tiny elephant jewel. In Shakers, the teams donned traditional costumes and makeup and dance in the streets to get tips. Once the teams get 100 rubies, they will get the next clue. All of the teams with the exception of Micheal and Mark did the Shakers. Christine and Jodi, because they finished last on the previous leg, have to perform a Speed Bump where only they can perform before doing any other tasks. They have to decorate an elephant with makeup until it meets the satisfaction of the man in charge before moving forward.

When the teams finished their tasks, they have to go to Juigarh Fort for the Pit Stop. After they finished with the Detour, Jaime and Cara went into a state of panic when they can't find a cab that have their bags.

Tammy and Victor came in first and won a pair of Ocean kayaks. In a close finish, Christine and Jodi came in last and were eliminated. One of them wanted to show her daughter that she can do anything she wants and be independent.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams have to travel to Phuket, Thailand. Once there, they have to find the place where the Gorilla Statue on the postcard is located, which is the Phuket Zoo. Tammy was excited to go back to Thailand because her parents didn't let her do anything there.

On the way to the ticket agency, Kisha and Jen were met by hungry children, and they were sad to see them.

Once at the zoo, the teams have to take a picture with a tiger and have an elephant walk and squat over them. Interesting note was that the tiger's handler have only one arm. After that part was completed, the teams have to travel to the oldest herb store in town and have the counterman to open one of 900 drawers to find a clue.

The teams have to ask the locals on where the statue is. Mike and Mel went to the wrong direction.

On the ride to the store, Jaime/Cara called Micheal/Mark the Twiddles as in Twiddle-Dee and Twiddle-Dum. Jaime once again showed her impatience by basically yelled the man on which drawer to open. PATIENCE JAIME PATIENCE!!!!!! After the teams get a clue, they found out that it was a Detour in which they could do either 100 Barrels or 2 Miles. In 100 Barrels, teams have to go to the docks and fill some buckets with water for the ship's trip and stack the other empty buckets to the top of the ship. In 2 Miles, the teams have to use a rickshaw to go two miles to the park in the steamy heat. They can use a pump to fill the tires of air.

Micheal and Mark did the 2 Miles, and they hide the pumps to make it harder for the other teams. They also asked a cab driver to help them with the route. The other teams who did the 2 Miles didn't found the pump and have to travel with a flat tire. Victor thought Tammy gained weight because of the slow ride.

Kisha/Jen and Mel/Mark did the 100 Barrels. Kisha/Jen made a mistake of the barrels of not filling the barrels with water while stacking them while Mark/Mel were catching up.

After the Detour was finished, the teams raced to the temple for the Pit Stop. Micheal and Mark were the first team to arrive but had two 30-minute penalty for tampering with the pumps and the cab driver's assistance.

As a result, Tammy and Victor finished first and won a trip for two to Oahu, Hawaii. Jaime and Cara finished second while Micheal and Mark finished third. Margie and Luke came in fourth, and Margie fainted due to heat exhaustion. That was scary.

Mike and Mel came in last and were eliminated. I'm sad to see them go. :(

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams are heading to Bangkok, Thailand. Once there, they have to travel to a boat yard and find the clue box.

Once again, Jaime had issues with people not speaking English and had her temper with the cab driver.

Every team got on the same flight.

On the ride to the boat yard, Kisha and Jen got lost.

On at the boat yard, the next clue was a Road Block in which one member have to attach a propeller to a boat correctly. After completion, the teams have to travel to Peninsula Pier and search for the show's flag. After finishing the task, Jaime and Cara have to go back to get their bags. Micheal/Mark and Kisha/Jen left their bags and decided to wait to get them later. Tammy and Victor's propeller didn't work and have to attach them again.

After reaching Peninsula Pier, the teams had a Detour where they could either do Broken Teeth or Broken Record. On Broken Teeth, the team have to go through 50 dentures and find the ones that would fit five people. On Broken Record, the team go to a party taxi with trannies and sing karaoke during a 5-mile trip. That one seemed like fun. Margie and Luke was the only team to do the dentures while the other have to go through the water-filled streets to get to the party taxi. Meanwhile, Kisha and Jen are worried about their bags because they have their passports in them. On the other hand, Micheal and Mark had a disagreement on whether to get the bags. They eventually went to get the bags.

At the Pit Stop at the Phya Thai Palace, Marige and Luke came i first and won a trip for two to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

After they finished their task, Kisha and Jen had no money to pay the cabbies. They came in third but have to get their travel documents before Phil can check them in.

Meanwhile, Micheal and Mark were also short on cash and traded some items to the cabbies for a ride to the Pit Stop. They came in fourth, but they broke the rules with their trades. Each trading costs them two hours. As a result, they have to wait four hours before Phil can check them in. In the end, Kisha and Jen came in fourth while Micheal and Mark came in last. The good news is that it's a non-elimination leg and still alive. The bad news are that the remaining hours left for the penalty will be added on their release time as well as the fact that they will have to perform a Speed Bump in which only they have to perform before they can continue on the race.

It was a good episode of The Amazing race 14.

The teams have to travel to Guilin, China. Upon arriving, they have to travel to Qing Xiu Lu and find the hair salon for the next clue. Tammy and Victor are excited to go because they speak the language, plus Tammy went to China for spring break. They, as well as Jaime/Cara and Luke/Margie, have to waiting for their connecting flight because the flight was delayed. As a result, Kiesha and Jen were the first team to arrive to Guilin.

After finding the hair salon, the teams have to travel to the #24 Bridge for the next clue. Margie/Luke and Kiesha/Jen missed the clue box and, when they finally found it, drama occurred. Jen ran onto Luke, and he shoved her off at the box. She was steamed and called him a bitch. Margie told Luke what happen, and he was furious. Kiesha and Jen doesn't trust Margie/Luke since Bangkok.

The clue at the #24 Bridge was a Road Block where one member have to throw fish while in the middle of the river to have birds called cormorants to fetch and return ten fish to them to get the next clue. While getting to the clue, more drama between Luke and Jen as the two collided.

While doing the Road Block, Luke's hand was bitten by the bird. OUCH!!!

Meanwhile. Micheal and Mark, who have to finished the penalty in the previous leg, was the last team to arrive and have to perform a Speed Bump, where they have to wash and dry two customers' hair to continue.

After the Road Block, the teams travel to Ancient South Gate for the next clue. It was a Detour where the teams can perform either Choreography or Calligraphy. In Choreography, the teams join the locals in a morning dance routine and learn the dance. Then, they danced in front of judges and, if they met their standards, they will get the next clue. In Calligraphy, the teams have to go through four stations to copy a calligrapher and paint Chinese characters that will spell of the next station. Margie/Luke, Tammy/Victor, and Kiesha/Jen did the calligraphy while the former Miami Dolphins cheerleaders Jaime/Cara did the choreography. They felt that their cheerleading background will be an advantage to them. But, Jaime/Cara struggled in the exercise. Jaime was so frustrated that she questioned the judges and asked them what they should do better. Once again, she wondered if anyone can speak a word of English.

In a close race to the Pit Stop at the Benyan Lake, Kiesha and Jen came in first and won a trip for two to the Barbados. But, fireworks continue between them and Margie/Luke. After the war of words, Luke signed bitch. Kiesha and Jen smiled, and Margie thought that they were laughing at Luke. A furious Luke signed about how hearing people make fun of deaf people, and Margie had some words for them. Not since Jonathan and Victoria had the Pit Stop had this much fireworks.

Not surprisingly, Micheal and Mark came in last and were eliminated. I really liked the brothers. They just have to stop bending the rules.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race 14.

The teams are heading to Beijing, China. Upon arriving, they have to travel to a foot massage place for the next clue. Tammy/Victor are excited about going to Beijing because they went there for the Olympics.

At the airport, Margie and Luke realized that they don't accept international cards and have to get their tickets with cash. All four teams got on the same flight. Margie and Luke got lost on the cab on the way to the massage place.

Upon arriving to the foot massage place, they found the next clue, which is a Road Block. The challenge have one member to have a foot massage. They have to drink a cup of tea first, then they have a ten minute foot massage which is a cross between pleasure and pain. Then, after the massage is finished, the contestants have to drink the tea again to get the next clue. If the massage is getting too painful, the contestant can tap out and cry uncle but have to start over again. I don't know which is worse: the massage or drinking the tea.

After the Road Block, the teams headed to the Guangcai Nacturium for the next stop. Jaime/Cara and Kiesha/Jen were having problems finding a cab who knows how to get there.

Upon arriving there, the next clue is a Detour of either Sink or Swim. In Sink, the teams synchronized diving and have to dive in perfect union to achieve a score of five from both judges. In Swim, the teams have to swim in a pool for 400m in eight laps while wearing the same speedo suit that Micheal Phelps wore. The teams can alternate after two laps. Jen is terrified of water and can't swim. So, along with Tammy and Victor, decided to do the diving part. However, after Jen was scared of diving from the board, they switched to swimming. But, after struggling with swimming, they went back to diving. Meanwhile, Tammy and Victor continued with diving even though they struggled with diving together at the same time. Eventually, they went to swimming. Jen was crying about doing the Road Block. But, with Kiesha's encouragement, Jen went back swimming.

Meanwhile, after finishing the Road Block, Victor was struggling to get in the cab because he's suffering from leg cramps.

Jaime and Cara wanted to go in first place. When they arrived at the Pit Stop at the North Gate of the Drum Tower, they thought they came in first. But, Phil told them that this leg is continuing and handed them the next clue.

It was a good episode of The Amazing Race.

The leg continues as the teams headed towards a popular shopping mall to get the next clue. It stated that they have to look into the stores to find the Travelocity gnome for the next clue. They learn that they have to travel to Gu Gong Xi Bei Juni and pick a bike to ride through Tiananmen Square and go to the train station. Jaime once again displayed personality towards the cab driver when she was basically belittling him while giving directions. Poor Cara.

When they arrived to the bike station, Luke nearly ran over Kiesha and Jen. The next clue was a Detour pf either Beijing Opera or Chinese Waiter. In Beijing Opera, the teams must made each other into prince and princess in an opera and, if it please the judge, will get the next clue. In Chinese Waiter, the teams must talk orders from customers who speak Mandarin Chinese and give the correct order to the chef and serve the food. Tammy and Victor are the only team to do the Chinese Waiter (imagine if Jaime and Cara doing it), and they got the syntax of the Chinese language wrong in the first try. But, they eventually got it right.

The rest of the teams did the Beijing Opera. Marge was getting to Luke's nerves when she constantly moved her head to look at the mirror to check the make-up. Luke said that he's through, but he went through it. Meanwhile, Jaime and Cara were lost and went to the wrong opera house.

After the task was complete, the teams had a short foot trip to the U-Turn at the Opera House. They can U-Turn anybody to have them perform the task at the Detour they didn't do. Unlike the last one, it wasn't a blind U-Turn, so the team knows who U-Turned them. Tammy and Victor U-turned Kiesha and Jen.

Kiesha/Jen and Margie/Luke couldn't find the U-Turn box and walked around the city and ask people. They didn't realized that the box is at the Opera House. Jaime and Cara finally arrived the right opera house, and they couldn't find the box either.

The Road Block was for one member to eat the typical Chinese snacks of grasshopper, larvae, scorpions, and starfish. YUMMY!!!!

Margie and Luke eventually found the U-Turn box as well as Kiesha and Jen. But, the sisters have to do the Chinese Waiter portion since they were U-Turned by Tammy and Victor. Jaime and Cara were still lost looking for the box for three hours, and Jaime keeps giving the term Ugly American a bad name by making negative comments about China. Once again, poor Cara.

Kiesha and Jen struggled with the Chinese language in the restaurant, but they did finished while Jaime and Cara did found the U-Turn box.

The two teams were at the food stand as Jen struggled to finish the food, but they still finished ahead of Jaime and Cara. However, Jen have to pee.

At the Pit Stop at Niao Chao, Tammy and Victor came in first and won a trip to the Galapagos Islands. Meanwhile, Margie and Luke came in second. After arriving at Niao Chao, Jen have to make a bathroom stop at a port a potty to pee. That may have been costly because Jaime and Cara came in third and the sisters came in last and were eliminated. That sucks to lost this way.

Next week is the finale. I want either Tammy/Victor or Margie/Like to win. I wish there's a way for Cara to win the prize instead of Jaime.

It was an exciting finale of The Amazing Race 14.

The three remaining teams have to travel to the Maui Island in Hawaii for their final leg. They found out that they will take the same flight.

Upon arriving, they have to take the Beach Access 118 to find the next clue. During the ride, the contestants have to change in the cab to their bathing suits. Once there, they have to prep a pig with traditional spices and carry the heavy pig across the beach to a luau and cover the pig correctly to be cooked. Tammy/Victor and Jaime/Cara struggled carrying the pig and dropped it several times. As a result, Margie and Luke came in first.

After the task was finished, the teams traveled to McGregor Point and travel on a water craft to the middle of a buoy field and search several buoys to find one with the clue.

After finding the clue, the teams headed to the Surfboard Fence for a Road Block where one member have to search through the surfboards to find 11 with pictures of the tasks they performed during the race and stacked them in order. Luke did the task because he claimed to have an excellent memory.

During the cab ride, Jaime and Cara were lost, and Jaime showed her trademark personality to the cab driver. So upset, the dispatcher told the girls that the cab service isn't a personal concierge service. The women called the police department for directions and travel to the fence, but, not before stooping for gas. Tammy and Victor's cab was slowed down by a slow-moving truck.

Luke was almost finished, but he struggled with finding the final two boards containing pictures of the tasks they did in China. Luke became frustrated. As a result, Tammy/Victor came ahead and left in first place. Luke and Jaime helped each other with the missing boards and left.

At the finishing line at The King Kamehameha Golf Club, Tammy and Victor came in first and won the grand prize. Jaime and Cara came in second while Margie and Luke came in third. It was touching for Margie and Luke as he was proud to be the first deaf person to compete in The Amazing Race.

I really enjoyed this season and can't wait for next season. :)
