amazing race series 5 ep 12 series 5 final

4 teams race to el nino phillapines in one of two c harters with the likeable teams (linda/karen and colin/christie) ending up on the 2nd charter needing a miracle to send another team home after finding the phillapine flag and a detour of searching clams the roadblock vertically ascending a rock wall is hard and dooms the bowling mums who got their before colin/christie but not by enough to out climb them.

  1. brandon and nicole (first 1st since leg 2 not by chip/kim or colin/christie leg 2 was their other win)
  2. chip and kim (made enermies a bit more by lying)
  3. colin and christie
  4. linda and karen (eliminated)

very sad to see them go as they were the first all girl team to neraly make the difference and apart from leg 5 did well and just got into an impossible position.

the final 3 race to calgary and climb a monutain before a detour of bike riding (no one does that succesfully) or bob sleeding colin/christie dominate the tasks but the flight to dallas is where the final is ruined as chip/kim who have been distant 3rd get information that the flight the other two teams are on is delayed and use that to get the next best fligth which becomes the best flight the other teams only get to denver on that flight which is unfair due to luggage rules are 20 mintues behind whihc negates any advantage of doing well at tasks there is one task in dallas of searching a cattle yard which to be fair looks like chip/kim do better than brandon//nicole but really colin/christie should have won a taxi problem with a tyre seals the win for chip/kim.

  1. \chip and kim
  2. colin and christie
  3. brandon and nicole

brandon and nicole are forgotten pretty much an average team.

colin and christie are one of my favourite teams of all time and it takes 26 seasons to get redemption winning season 31 which they do.

chip and kim didn’t deserve the win only 1st before final not from eating challenges and the other two ridicilous transport luck only team though not to finish last but backstabbed too many teams at stages.

winner rankings

  1. rob and breenan
  2. flo and zach
  3. chris and alex
  4. raichen and chip
  5. chip and kim
