As predicted, Nick and Starr won The Amazing Race. These two dominated the last half of the season. They won more weeks than I can remember, and they were also pretty entertaining. (The Starr and Dallas potential romance gave the show a subplot.) Basically, they deserved to win.

There were times during the season finale that I thought second-place finishers Ken and Tina might pull off the victory. (They led going into the first challenge; they were basically neck and neck with the eventual winners through most of the race.) But Nick's positive attitude and Starr's competitiveness resulted in the win.

Frat boys Dan and Andrew were in distant third for most of the episode. They were pretty funny about the whole thing.

"It's appropriate that we finished the race how we started: with an incredible amount of mistakes," one of them said.

Ken and Tina -- the seperated married couple -- said they found love during the trip. (They said that they intended to give their marriage another try. (Once a cheater always a cheater. Remember that Tina ... )

Speaking of romance, I was surprised to see all of the teams at the finish line except for Toni and Dallas, who were eliminated last week after Dallas lost their passports and money. This entire season, Dallas and Starr were flirting up a storm, but there was no resolution. I wonder if Toni and Dallas got caught up in Russia without their passports? But more importantly, I really want to know if Dallas and Starr hooked up after the show? Has anyone heard any news about them?
