So, the last promo that just aired gave us our Final 3
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Previously on The Amazing Race...

11 teams began an epic adventure. Along the way, teams soared over Chile, battled in Portugal, lunged into the Arctic, and roared through Abu Dhabi. The Express Pass was leverged by Tim & Marie, and U-Turns were used... against the Afghanimals.

7 teams were eliminated.

Within the final 4, Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis bonded, while others battled. Through U-Turns, stolen taxis, and heated battles, the 4 teams still survived.

Jason & Amy were very consistent through the race and in their relationship. They had 5 2nd place finishes before finally managing to get a first place finish.

Nicole & Travis started the race as power parents, excelling in challenges and strategies. In recent legs, Nicole has crumbled under pressure. They still managed to get into the final 4.

Tim & Marie proved that you don't have to like each other to work well together. They fought a lot... :cmaslol With Marie leading the way, they earned a spot in the final 4.

Leo & Jamal were loud and obnoxious (and still are :reindeer). With early stumbles and surviving 2 U-Turns, they appeared poised to take control with a few 1st places. Instead, they barely hung on and now face a speedbump in the final 4.

Coming up tonight, one of these teams will win $1 million and The Amazing Race.

And here we go!

Jason & Amy depart 1st at 1:25 AM. Fly to Tokyo, Japan. Once landed, proceed to Gotokuji Temple where there will be a bunch of ceramic cats. :cmaslol Once there, they will find their next clue. Amy is doing flight research. They want to make sure that Nicole & Travis make it in the final 3 as well. They want all teams to be on the same flight.

Tim & Marie depart 2nd at 2:25 AM. Tim says they have a bunch of skills.

Nicole & Travis depart 3rd at 2:26 AM. Travis is very competitive and he doesn't like losing. Nicole says things come easily for Travis.

Amy says that the flight arriving at 6:10 AM is full. All the teams are getting on the flight that arrives at 6:20 AM.

Leo & Jamal depart last at 3:19 AM. They think that the other teams will try to get them out.

First 3 teams are discussing how to get the Afghanimals out. They all agree to work together.

Afghanimals arrive at the flight agency place. Travis & Nicole still don't like how Afghanimals lied to them, lol.

Afghanimals are on the same flight, but they will do additional research... They found a way to get in at 6:10 AM!

Good move by the Afghanimals. Always check if there is a better flight.

Afghanimals get on the 6:10 AM flight. All the other 3 teams assume that Afghanimals will get on their 6:20 AM flight... but they don't. Tricky Afghanimals.

Leo & Jamal are first in Tokyo. Second flight lands at 6:17 AM. Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis got taxis, but their taxi drivers don't know where to go. Marie did research and she has the address, but she doesn't have a taxi. She won't give out the address until she gets a taxi...

Nicole & Travis want to leave, but their taxi driver thinks that all 3 teams are together, lol. Tim & Marie finally get a taxi, and then all 3 teams leave. :cmaslol

Commercial.

I'm amazed pulling out of the pack is working for Leo&Jamal, that's incredible rare for the race...

I wasn't sure if the risky connection was worth the 10 minute lead that it yielded, but it worked and that could potentially be enough time to overcome the Speed Bump and balance the playing field... :cmas51

The 3 team alliance is going well so far. :cmaslol I think it's really interesting how they all want each other in the last leg over the Afghanimals...

Travis doesn't like that they had to wait for Tim & Marie. Marie isn't surprised that their alliance thing isn't working well so far, lol.

Afghanimals' taxi driver misses the entrance. Afghanimals ask the cats to bring them good luck lol. Detour: Knock It Down or Call It Up. In Knock It Down, teams will be human bowling balls. In the other detour, teams will make a call in a telephone booth with goldfish...? No regular detour introduction.

Afghanimals choose Knock It Down because after season 20, they're dying to do a Japanese game show. Afghanimals figure they're in 1st.

3 team alliance arrives together. Jason & Amy and Tim & Marie pick Knock It Down. Nicole & Travis pick Call It Up.

None of their taxi drivers know any of the locations, lol. The drivers refuse to separate from each other. :cmaslol What a disaster. All the taxi drivers want to follow each other... This reminds me of season 19's leg 11, lol.
