I've been following The Amazing Race since it's first season in 2001, so I was very excited when it was announced CBS would be having an all-star edition. I was really pulling for Rob and Amber to do well, seeing as Amber went to my alma mater, but they were knocked out pretty early in the competition.
The final three contestants came down to Dustin and Kandice, Charla and Mirna and Eric and Danielle. Going into the final leg of the race the beauty queens, Dustin and Kandice, had a pretty large lead, but everything evened out in the last bit of the action. Charla and Mirna actually scooped the other teams and found a faster flight to the second-to-last destination, but they lost their lead after Charla's short legs (sorry!) slowed her team down in a foot race.
After a few low-excitement final challenges (the home stretch was a taxi ride to the finish... pretty uneventful, even with some red light/green light drama) a winner stepped onto the welcome mat for the last time. Eric and Danielle were the big winners of the race; taking home the $1 million prize. Of course, all the elminated teams were standing at the finish line with their forced cheers of encouragement for the winners.
I really thought that Dustin and Kandice were going to come out as the winners because they seemed to work the best together, and always made smart and calculated moves during the race. Unfortunately they finally butted heads during one of the final challenges and it might have cost them the victory.No word yet on how the next season of The Amazing Race will shape up, but for more video, pictures and cast member playlists you can check out CBS.com
