Tonight was the season finale. The teams left India and went to Japan (I'm surprised they didn't go to China this season as they seem to always go there.) They first had to take a ferry to an island for a clue - which Rachel and Dave missed, but made up the time because the clues weren't handed out until the next morning. Then they went to Hiroshima for a clue. They had to do a very stupid Japanese Game show where they had to pick three chickens  while running on a treadmill. Most of the teams did it pretty quick, but Vanessa had trouble because of her leg - she still did a good job. Next the teams had to either take pictures of people in sumo cutouts or play sushi bingo - all the teams except Dave and Rachel did bingo. In the end, Dave and Rachel came in first place for the 7th time and Vanessa and Ralph came in last and were sent home. The next leg they left Japan and went to Hawaii. They had to climb up some large twin towers  - the Border Patrol got lost. Then the teams took a helicopter and had to rescue someone in the water. Rachel and Brendon got lost on that one. The next challenge was to slide down a hill on a Hawaiian sled - which the Border Guards couldn't do - and then throw a ball in a net. Rachel and Dave missed that clue and went to the last challenge of paddle surfing. Phil told them they had to complete the challenge before he could check them in. I thought they were finished, but since the Border Patrol couldn't use the sled they managed to go back, do the challenge and win the Race. This is the first time that I can remember the team I wanted from the beginning actually won. They not only won the Race, but also were the only teams in the history of the show to win 8th legs. The Border Patrol came in 2nd - which was fitting since they were pretty annoying and Big Brother came in last. All in all it was a pretty good season. I can't wait to see the next season.
