Tonight's special Thursday finale will start in 1 hour and 45 minutes! Let's hope for a crazy and a good one!!

[RachelLeVega]

As a pre-game activity, sound off your favorite part of the season or any fun facts you remember from the route or from the teams themselves.

I'll start it off by saying my favorite moment would be the Kyoto Detour where multiple teams went right for the ninja weapons for the thrill of it only to end up regretting their choice, and still having arguments brew between teammates at the origami crane option. It was an exciting balance with both options being emotionally and mentally taxing while looking simple on paper (pun intended).

It's fantastic to see the campaign for it, but I haven't played GTA since the San Andreas days, honestly. Don't have much time to spare to dedicate for video games nowadays.

14 sweet minutes until we cliff-dive to see what happened between the last two teams.

Producer: Sir, a team is arriving at the Finish Line.
Suddenly, Jason and Lucia arrive at the Finish Line.
Phil: You're not supposed to be here, who are you?
Jason and Lucia proceed to rob the crew in order to promote GTA VI.

5 minutes, baby!

[RachelLeVega]

And no more Georgie & Mandy! The moment is ours!!!


Immediately, we begin with a light recap of the final four racing through Porto, Portugal. Carson & Jack and Han & Holden secured their places in the final two with H&H experiencing a bit of turbulence along the way. Alyssa & Josiah stumbled late in the leg while Jon & Ana took out their frustrations on each other, leaving them in a tile face-off!

Back to where we are - Jon & Ana and Alyssa & Josiah are pasting pieces and Jon smashes two pieces. "There's no replacements." - Ana.

[RachelLeVega]

Josiah says to keep fighting while Ana calls for a check and they are good! They leave in 3rd with Jon despondent to the Pit Stop clue. Alyssa & Josiah also finish as onlookers above are pleased with the view. It's a foot race between Jon & Ana and Aly & Josiah. Jon & Ana run the wrong way and Alyssa & Josiah cross the bridge. Jon is misdirecting Ana not knowing where the Pit Stop is. Josiah realizes the boat is on the other side.

Jon & Ana come up to the Pit Stop as Team Number Three. No penalty? What?....

Meanwhile, Alyssa & Josiah arrive in last steadily and have been eliminated. Josiah says the race isn't over at all with Alyssa in their everyday life. Alyssa is extremely upset.

[RachelLeVega]

Alyssa & Josiah were proud of their accomplishments for the race and watch the sunset along the river.

This is where we are getting the final three retrospectives. Carson & Jack, Han & Holden, and Jon & Ana giving their final statements and being a complementary or somewhat cohesive unit.

And it's the next day in Porto! Carson & Jack depart in 1st at 11:51 A.M. Fly to Miami, Florida! We get shots of extensive beaches and a Scramble! "You have $200 for this leg of the race!" - Carson. The DnD boys are happy they have business class. Jack says he is unemployed again and hope the money can pay off their mortgages. They're not counting their chickens before they hatch.

Han & Holden leave in 2nd past noon. They are happy they are leaving in second and not last.

[RachelLeVega]

Han mentions they haven't won a leg, but this is the only one that truly matters. Holden feels focused and determined. Jon & Ana depart in last and Ana says last leg was the worst leg they ran so far. Ana is feeling confident and Jon wants to keep a good flow going. "Taxi? Thank you." - Ana. They are hoping to set their kids up for college.

Han & Holden arrive at the departures with Jon & Ana entering the Tourism Interactive Center, printing out a map of Miami. Everyone is boarding the flight to Miami with all three of them excited. Carson & Jack say Jon & Ana and Han & Holden pose huge threats. Han & Holden is coming for that million. "It's going to get wild in Miami, man." - Jon.

Short intro and commercials.

[RachelLeVega]

We return to establishing beachfront shots of Miami and its towers! Teams must travel to Crandon Park Marina and ride a speedboat across Biscayne Bay to pick up the next clue! Everyone rushing to the taxi stand! Carson & Jack call the first Caravan taxi with Han & Holden and Jon & Ana behind. The two then subsequently get theirs.

DnD is channeling their inner characters in that game. Han is hoping for a lot of water challenges to give them a boost. Jon wants to run a mistake-free leg. Jon & Ana's driver pass Han & Holden's taxi!

Carson & Jack reach Crandon Park and thank their driver Julian. Jon & Ana stop right behind them.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson & Jack are heading out in their boat with Jon & Ana on their tail. Han & Holden are seconds behind them as well with everyone hooting and hollering on the way there. Jon has never been on a boat and is exuberant today. Han is going crazy!

Carson & Jack reach the pier and the clue box. "I see the clue box, babe." - Ana.

Prepare for a scramble! Teams must complete three water-inspired challenges, Sail at the Coral Reef Yacht Club, a high-speed water rescue, and maintain a water hovercraft in the air for a set time.

[RachelLeVega]

Jon & Ana also get the clue and immediately get in their car to navigate, bypassing Carson & Jack who just got their directions. DnD mention Ana can't swim very well. "The ocean is not my friend." - Ana.

Jon & Ana reach the first checkpoint. ROUTE INFO (Water rescue training exercise): With one teammate driving and another riding the boogie board, they must save a mannequin attached to a buoy in the water and bring it back to shore at the marked area to progress on.

Jon & Ana are getting the instructor with Carson & Jack and Han & Holden right behind. They are also at the water rescue.

[RachelLeVega]

Ana & Jon is pushing their boat into the water and struggling a little as Holden mentions this is where we pass teams. Carson & Jack is getting their instructions in the background.

Ana is steering while Jon is grabbing the lifesize mannequin body. They are heading back to shore, that was quick! Ana is beached and they must now drag the body... that sounded wrong coming from my typing. They are finished and have an "E" for a location.

Carson & Jack are now off to save the mannequin. Ana directs Jon to Coral Reef Yacht Club for the sail task. Ana says the piece looks like a domino.

[RachelLeVega]

Carson steers to the buoy and Jack is grabbing the body. They return as Han & Holden retrieve theirs with Carson & Jack getting their first piece of the puzzle.

H&H are also finished dragging the mannequin like a suckling pig. Carson & Jack and Han & Holden are asking for directions from locals. DnD and H&H are heading to Soar.

Jon & Ana are now facing directional challenges with Sail so they are going to Soar instead. "We could've been there already. We're burning time here." - Jon.

Another Scramble finale. I wonder if they might make this the norm going forward, since it makes it much harder for live spoilers to tell who's in what place.

[RachelLeVega]

We return to a shot of Rickenbacker Causeway with Carson & Jack reaching the Soar checkpoint. ROADBLOCK: Who's ready to go above and beyond? One team member must hydrofly for 60 seconds straight to receive the next puzzle piece. Jack does the task and feels this will be a heights challenge. He is being taught the moves to work the hydroflying contraption from an instructor on a pontoon. Jack loves when people get lost.

Han & Holden reach Soar and Han does the task. She loves surfing and is stoked like a standard surfer girl. She says Jon & Ana may be at the other option, but she is confident in passing DnD. Jon & Ana reach the Soar and Ana volunteers. And now it's a water-based task. She wants to do it and do it well without any accounting for her fear.

[RachelLeVega]

Jack says everything with water sports is difficult while Han is coming from behind. "Womp womp for me." - Jack. He sees an elusive crab in the water before getting on the hydroflight. He immediately falls flat in the water.

Han just shows up and falls on her behind first thing. Not so good then, are ya?  Ana is struggling in the water, yet lasts one second longer than both. "I can't!" - famous TAR words from Ana. She is coughing up the ocean water.

[RachelLeVega]

Jack, Ana, and Han are all struggling in their own areas for multiple attempts. Han almost saves herself, but leans back too far. Carson doesn't know whether to support or wish ill. The instructor is now arguing with Ana. Ana is in tears absolutely terrified as Han and Jack are still making waves in the water.

[RachelLeVega]

We come back to more of this.


Ana is giving it another go and can't get her balance right. She is not acclimated to the water and felt she was never going to do it. She is in complete distress. Meanwhile, Carson is getting flat feet. Han is also freaking out and not getting her center of gravity.

It's Jack vs. Han both in their 9th attempt with Han falling back into the water. Carson outlasts Han and we get a quick shot of Ana going for another short attempt. Carson passes! DnD are off in first place so far. Jack is proud of himself as they beat Han. Jack mentions the Soar puzzle piece is a "C".

[RachelLeVega]

Ana keeps making splashes while Han gets her 60 seconds finished! Unfortunately, she is very emotional and frustrated with herself. The perfectionism is talking in the pontoon ride back to Holden. "I'm going to let this emotion sit with me until I hit the dock." - Han.

Jack shows up in the boat with Carson cheering for him and proud of him. They are running back to their car. Jon and Holden say this isn't great. Jack mentions he is excited because he used to go to sailing camp as a kid, probably giving them an edge in this next task.

Han & Holden are reunited and ask for directions. Jon is not happy. Ana continues to struggle. "How many seconds was that?" - Ana. "Wasn't it." - Judge.

Carson & Jack reach the Sail task. ROUTE INFO: Learn to sail in an Optimist dinghy around Valentine's Island without instruction by only paying attention to sailing students around them. Very Saint-Tropez TAR30 of them.

[RachelLeVega]

Jack has never sailed a boat like this and couldn't figure out how to do it. Carson turns the rudder and are going backwards.

Ana spends another moment riding the hydroflight and ultimately finishes! She gets the second puzzle piece in complete disbelief she just finished "the hardest thing she ever done". She is disappointed she may have cost her and Jon the race.

Updater note: Looks like the Scramble twist didn't work.
