Rob and Amber should have won last night's Amazing Race finale, but lost to Uchenna and Joyce Agus. Rob and Amber had made an earlier flight back to Miami and the final stop in the "race around the world" for $1 Million. Uchenna and Joyce were scheduled on a later flight, but pursuaded the plane's pilot to reopen the gate and let them board the same flight as Rob and Amber. This would never happen unless there was an "emergency". Makes you wonder if the producers didn't have something to do with this to make the last leg of the race more exciting.
Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich, top winners on Survivor: All Stars, came in second to the Angus couple and former Iraq POW Ron Young and Kelly McCorkle, a beauty pageant queen, finished third.
The Agus braved Joyce's ritual head shaving in India, a wayward double-decker bus in London and a 4-pound meat-eating binge in Argentina to win. They completed the monthlong round-the-world course, crossing the Miami finish line in Tuesday's finale. "Other teams underestimated us a lot," says Joyce, 44, because they played nice, weren't pushy and stayed under the radar. "They were without a doubt the favorites among the other teams because of the way they ran the race," host Phil Keoghan says. Ron and Kelly were undone by bickering, and Rob and Amber proved too cocky. "Their overconfidence stung them," he says.
You haven't seen the last of Rob and Amber: CBS will televise their April wedding May 24 (9 p.m. ET/PT). And after this season's record ratings (12.5 million viewers), the eighth Amazing Race, due this fall, has a new wrinkle: Families of four will compete
