LEG- ALASKA FINISH LINE
FIRST CLUE: fly over 4,500 miles to their final destination city of Anchorage, Alaska. When they landed, they'd have to make their way to the outdoor adventure store, 6th Avenue Outfitters, where they would pick up necessary gear for the journey ahead along with their next clue.
GOOD LUCK TK & RACHEL!!!!
All teams got the same ticket flight to Anchorage, Alaska.
So, the race is back to zero again.
Landing in Anchorage, Alaska, father and daughter Ron & Christina took the early lead out of the airport ahead of TK & Rachel with Nick & Don trailing in third place.
At 6th Avenue Outfitters, Ron & Christina opened their clue: instructing them to make their way to the waterfront and find Ship Creek Boat Launch.
DETOUR:
Cut the Cod and Grab the Crab. In Cut the Cod, Teams had to cut through several 50-pound Ling Cod and search for a miniature clue hidden in one of the fish. The task could be disgusting to some, but Teams with the guts to dig into their work could finish fast. In Grab the Crab, Teams had to jump into the hold of a boat swarming with over 500 live crabs. Then, they had to search through the nipping crustaceans for a crab marked with Race colors. The task wasn't disgusting, but Teams would have to deal with hundreds of writhing crabs, and Teams without fast hands could find themselves in a pinch.
Ron & Chris were first to carve up the very large cod and got the clue quickly.
Next CLUE: travel 60 miles by taxi to a boat landing and take a high speed ride upriver to 20-Mile Glacier. What Teams didn't know was that their clue was waiting atop the massive primordial ice and they would have to climb the glacier face to get it.
Nick & Don arrived 2nd coz TK & Rachel's cab driver dropped them at the wrong place. However, Nick & Don forgot the bag of equipment at the 6th Avenue Outfitters.
Don scolded his grandson in the taxi on their way back
TK & Rachel did the crab task but they were struggling coz the crabs were pinching them.
They wanted to switch task already luckily TK found the crab with a clue.
Nick & Don just arrived from the shop. They did the cod task and Don was so quick and they found the clue with relief.
At the glacier, Ron succeeded to climb the glacier but Chris floundered and failed. She fought so hard to reach the top and finally reached it. TK & Rachel just arrived to do the task followed by Nick & Don.
Ron & Chris received the next CLUE: take a breathtaking ride in a helicopter through the Alaskan wilderness to a clearing known as Merrill Field. When they landed, they had to travel by taxi to Goose Lake Park where their next clue awaited.
ROADBLOCK at Goose Lake Park.
In it, one team member had to face a field of objects they encountered along the race course. Each Team was given fifteen recognizable items from different legs of the race. With stress and exhaustion at an all-time high, they had to place on a stage ten specific items that matched two different requirements. First, there could only be one item from each of the ten legs of the race. Second, only three items could be animals or animal by-products, one had to be a U-turn, two had to be items either at or brought to the Pit Stop, two had to be items of transportation with wheels, one of which was used at a Detour, and one had to be an item of transportation resembling the shape of a stick. While there were several ways to fulfill either of the requirements, only one correct group of ten items fulfilled both. The correct answers must be the tandem bicycle from Ireland, the Detour bike from Amsterdam, the camel milk and chicken from Burkina Faso, the Detour stilts from Lithuania, the gun fired at the Pit Stop in Croatia, the Blackberry in Italy, the U-turn in India, the cleaning man in Japan, and the tea cups in Taiwan.
Christina chose to do it. They had a huge lead this time.
Christina already started piling up the items as TK & Rachel arrived next.
Rachel did the RB.
Moments later, Nick & Don arrived and the grandson chose to do the final task.
At this time, I was goin' berserk coz it was a 3-way-tie now!!!!
I kept on cheering for Rachel.
Christina & Nick were cursing F words coz they were confused. Meanwhile Rachel was just so relax.
While she immediately knew the cleaning man was indeed an animal, Rachel couldn't remember ever seeing the pole vault even though she used it in Amsterdam. Once that piece of information came back to her, she realized she had two items from Amsterdam and removed the pole correctly keeping the bike. Rachel's calm attitude throughout the confusing Road Block paid off as the cluebox opened, allowing her to get the clue and return to an rhapsodic TK. Not just TK but me too.
I was jumping up & down shouting in my room cheering for my fav team.
Are they goin to make it???
next CLUE: Find "the Cook's eye view of the Sleeping Lady." What they then had to figure out was this clue referred to the statue of famed explorer Captain James Cook.
They immediately hopped into their taxi and asked the driver about “Cook's eye view. Unfortunately, the stupid driver drove them again to a wrong place. During this time, Christina got the correct answers and received the clue. She apologized to her father.
Back in the hippies' taxi, the driver realized his mistake and eventually TK & Rachel reached the correct statue.
Next CLUE: to travel on foot to downtown Anchorage to find the statue of the salmon hooker.
TK & Rachel ran through the streets looking for the statue. They tried to ask directions and finally found the brightly painted fish with the FINAL CLUE!
LAST CLUE: Take a taxi to Girdwood Airport and to the Finish Line.
THIS IS IT!!!!! I WAS SO ECSTATIC . I KEPT ON CHEERING FOR THEM!!!!
Ron & Christina also arrived just minutes behind.
God I couldn't breathe this time!!!!
The next scene was the PIT STOP now!!!!
Phil & the 8 other teams were now cheering for the winners to arrive.

2ND PLACE : RONALD & CHRISTINA
3RD TEAM: NICHOLAS & DONALD
Last words from Rachel & TK.
Rachel: "My feelings for TK are very real. He's my best friend. He's my rock and he's just my favorite person and I got to do all this with him."
TK : I'm incredibly proud of Rachel. She is petite, but she still went out and beat a hell of a lot of very competitive people. It's just a testament to how tough she actually is." "Being able to do the entire race, not compromising our relationship in any way and in the process making great friendships just makes winning it that much sweeter. Nice guys can definitely finish first and I think we proved it with this."
