Who Won ‘The Amazing Race’ Season 30 Finale?

Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not read on if you don't want to know the winner of The Amazing Race. 

Tonight was the two-hour finale of The Amazing Race on CBS. The tension was palpable as the final four teams raced their way around the world in the hopes of winning $1 million. Heading into tonight's finale, the four final teams were Team Indy Car (Alex Rossi and Conor Daly), Team Big Brother (Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson), Team Extreme (Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak), and Team Yale (Henry Zhang and Evan Lynyak). Who was victorious? Which team was declared the winner?


Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, Henry and Evan were able to quickly complete the Speed Bump. They were also the first to open their briefcase using a set of signs that helped them figure out the combination lock. Jessica and Cody were the second to successfully figure out their briefcase codes, followed by Kristi and Jen.

That meant team Indy Car, comprised of Alex and Conor, were the last to arrive. They were eliminated.

San Francisco

With one fewer couple in the mix, Team Big Brother, Team Extreme, and Team Yale made their way (in style) to San Francisco.

Their first stop was AT&T Park, where the groups had to figure out (by asking pedestrians) how many homers were hit by baseball icon Willie Mays. They then had to paddle kayaks around the waterfront and retrieve baseballs that spelled out the number of home runs by Mays.

Team Extreme was the first to collect the baseballs that brought them to the next part of the challenge. They were followed closely by Team BB, and then Team Yale.

Unfortunately, scaling the middle of the bridge was a difficult challenge for Evan, pushing Team Yale to the back.

Golden Gate Cookie Factory & USS Hornet

At the Golden Gate Cookie Factory, the teams were asked to make 200 fortune cookies. Kristi and Jen were the first to complete the cookie-making challenge and then made their way to the USS Hornet Museum with Team Yale and Team Big Brother behind them.

It was anyone's game heading into the final destination. The groups had to build a plane. They needed to search the Hornet for twelve pieces of a plane, spread out over more than 1,000 rooms and seven decks. Then, they had to assemble their planes so that all twelve legs of the race were recognized by particular symbols from each leg of their race.

The last 15 minutes of the episode were tense, with each team struggling to put the plane puzzle together.

In the end, Team Big Brother was named the winner. Jessica and Cody walk away with the $1 million.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.
