Starr and Nick Shine Bright; Take The Amazing Race Crown

The Amazing Race came to a conclusion last night, with Nick and Starr taking home the crown. This season of TAR ended in one of the most exciting finishes in any of the shows 13 seasons. With one of the most dominating teams in history taking home the 1million dollar prize.

Nick and Starr have been my favorite team from the beginning. I believe this to be only the second time I have picked the winner from the first episode. But with the way Nick and Starr dominated all season, it wasn’t much of a stretch to pick them as TAR champs.

From Moscow, Russia to Portland, Oregon, Nick and Starr and fellow team competitors Ken and Tina, battled back and forth to the finish. All teams made the flight to Oregon but Andrew and Dan were out of the mix as soon as they picked the wrong taxi. Nick and Star and Ken and Tina battled back and forth from the first Detour to the finish line.

There really is no way to describe the nail-biting edge of your seat finale. I honestly was shaking from the suspense of the show. I am pasting the last exciting 10 minutes of the show below. If you missed the episode, I strongly encourage you to watch. If you did see it last night, well it’s worth seeing again.




Nick and Starr’s life sure has changed forever. They now have a million dollars, lots of first place Pit Stop prizes, and respect from the viewing audience on a beautifully run race. I also want to say congratulations to Ken and Tina. They were great competitors and I wish them the best with keeping their marriage together. It was nice to see them wearing their wedding rings again.

Do you agree with who won? Was it one of the most exciting finales ever? Please comment below, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for reading and I’m working on a nice little TAR surprise for you the readers. I’ll let you know soon when it’s coming.

The Amazing Races Final 3

The Amazing Race is coming to an end and on November 30 we learned who the final 3 teams racing for a million dollars will be:

1.Nick and Starr: Brother and sister team who have dominated the race thus far.
2.Ken and Tina: Separated married couple who have had their ups and downs but remained strong throughout.
3.Andrew and Dan: Underdog frat boys, who seem to be right out of the Knocked Up/Superbad movies.

Who will be the winner? On Sunday December 7, the season long question will be answered. My pick for the million dollars is going to Nick and Starr. I picked them after the first episode and they have stayed consistent almost every week since. They are competitive, smart and athletic. As long as their Taxi luck is decent, it will be hard for the other teams to beat them.

Second place I believe will go to Ken and Tina. Like Nick and Starr, Ken and Tina have been fierce competitors throughout the race. They have only had one bad leg of the race that landed them in last place. Lucky for them it was a non-elimination leg. If their luck continues, Nick and Starr will have their hands full trying to beat them.

Third place well let me first start by saying Andrew and Dan have been entertaining to say the least. If they do win, it will be one of the biggest underdog wins in The Amazing Race history. As much as I like to root for underdogs, I can’t see a comeback story here. The video below shows some of the reasons why I would be surprised if they did win.
