The teams of the Amazing Race and their avid followers were in for a real gem of a finale as Vegas was the final destination! The team of Meghan Rickey and Cheyne Whitney had beaten all the other teams in the race around the globe and in just 21 days had visited an amazing eight countries. The race is quite the challenge as they have very little funds and have to beat the other teams to the location check points or be disqualified from the game.
As the prize is set at a whopping 1 million dollars for the winning pair, this is a serious compeititon and not just a bit of fun.
The series finale had the winners crossing the finish line at Wayne Newtons home in Las Vegas. Their shock was quite apparent when they were told they were the first team to cross the finishing line and had therefore won the jackpot. “For real?” Cheyne asked the producer. The team had done well throughout the game and were favoured to win as they were in very good shape and kept their bickering to an absolute minimum. This can be quite the challenge in the game, as the race is a very stressful experience.
If an online race, from the comfort of your chair, is more your style though check out a poker room and enjoy a game of party poker or maybe full tilt rakeback competitive ability.
As with a lot of winners of reality shows, they both claimed that although the cash was important, the experience was why they entered. Cheyne even explained in his post-win interview that it wasn’t even the money that made them take part, but more the whole life-changing experience. “She was one of the strongest competitors, even compared to the guys. I’m very happy she’s on my side~I’m very grateful that she is on my team~I’m grateful that she is on my side}~I’m grateful she is on my side~I’m very grateful that she is on my team~I’m grateful that she is on my side#}.” She added, “This has been a learning experience. Every single footstep had been pretty neat. I learned so much about Cheyne. He’s a good person and friend who will be there for me throughout my life.”
The final show was a nail biter as teams seemed to be neck in neck. The team that consisted of Erika Dunlap and Brian Kleinschmidt, and Dan and Sam McMillen who are brothers, were the competition. Once arrived in Vegas the teams joined in with the cast of Cirque Du Soliel’s Love, sorted their way through at least a million dollars worth or chips and even managed to fit in a singalong with Elvis. As you can imagine, this made for great viewing!
