In this final episode of the race, the first leg saw the last three remaining teams leave London, England and make their way to Kingston, Jamaica. The episode focused on Ron & Kelly’s crumbling relationship, with Ron seemingly unwilling to commit to marriage. However, it didn’t stop them from finishing this leg in first place. Rob & Amber ran a great leg and still finished in second place. Uchenna & Joyce left this leg in last place and finished the leg in last place thanks to a flat tire. According to the new rules, they lost all of their possessions in addition to all of their money. It all seemed lost for them.

In the second leg, teams made their way from Montego Bay, Jamaica to the finish line in Miami, Florida through Puerto. Being Puerto Rican, I really enjoyed seeing El Morro and San Juan–pretty cool. It’s hard to believe that this is the first time they’ve been there. Uchenna & Joyce seemed pretty screwed without money. Especially since the only way to get anywhere in Jamaica is via taxi. They made their way to the airport to beg for cash. Initially it seemed they weren’t going to make it, but they received some money and they were on their way several hours behind the other teams.

It was excruciating to watch. Many people declined to help them at the airport, bringing Joyce to tears. Long story short, they got some money to get a taxi to the onion chopping task and a free ride to the Detour. Once there, Uchenna made quick work of the Tee It Up challenge. Ultimately, teams were bunched up outside a Roadblock in Puerto Rico. Teams made quick work of the Roadblock in Puerto Rico. However on the way to the airport Ron & Kelly got lost and Rob & Amber appeared to have won the whole thing by getting on an earlier flight to Miami. But Uchenna & Joyce caught a lucky break when the pilot opened up the plane to let them on, setting them up for a chance for the win.

Uchenna & Joyce overtook Rob & Amber in Little Havana by finding a Cuban cigar shop called “El Rey de Los Habanos” which the clue referred to as the “King of Los Habanos.” Rob & Amber’s taxi driver didn’t know to make the translation and Uchenna & Joyce’s did. This made all the difference. For a while it looked that they wouldn’t make it, since they didn’t have money to pay for the final taxi to the Finish Line. They begged for money, paid the taxi, and ran across the line for the win. Great finish!

It did seem that Rob & Amber had a lock on this race from the beginning only to make a small mistake at the end and lose it. Apart from Rob & Amber, Uchenna & Joyce was my second choice for the win. You can’t deny it, they are good people. Congratulations to the winners! I am already looking forward to The Amazing Race 8!
