'Amazing' final three

If you had told me at the beginning of the season of Amazing Race: All Stars that the final three would be Dustin and Kandice, Eric and Danielle and Charla and Mirna, I probably would have laughed in your face. But after last night's episode, here we are!

Last week's episode was pure insanity, with Oswald and Danny basically selling their yield to Dustin and Kandice because they had no money, then having a horrible rest of the leg (instant karma's gonna getcha?). I actually don't think yielding should lead to bad things since it's a part of the game, not a dirty trick, but maybe Danny and Oswald psyched themselves out so badly after making the deal with Dustin and Kandice. I was happy for them that it was nonelimination, but after last night, it didn't make much of a difference.

I missed the first quarter of the episode due to some user error with the ole Tivo, but suddenly, the teams were in Guam taking part in a variety of military-related tasks. It seemed like all the teams all finished pretty close to one another despite many issues with the GPS roadblock and the lengthiness of the air-drop detour that Charla and Mirna did. Though Danny and Oswald weren't the last to complete their tasks, they finished last and got eliminated. (Like them, I spent a lot of this episode lost and confused.)

They surely were sweet to each other in their exit interview. I highly recommend checking out the full video at CBS.com (unless you don't want to watch them saying not-exactly-nice things about the remaining teams besides Charla and Mirna). It might have been a long road and a rough couple of episodes for them, but the best friends finished strongly.

So how about that? Towson cousins Charla and Mirna have a chance at the million buck prize this Sunday. I'll be keeping an eye on that finale for sure.

I think Charla & Mirna's family does business with the bank where I work. Guess who I'm rooting for!
