'Amazing Race' 28 Winners: Who Won The Million Dollar Prize? Los Angeles Leg Puts It All On The Line [POLL]
If you want to win The Amazing Race, you can't be afraid of heights.
The CBS series ended its 28th race around the world on Friday, and the Los Angeles leg was rife with terrifying plunges. Luckily for the final three, "fear" and "vertigo" aren't in the vocabulary. While only one pair of travelers left the show with an extra million dollars in their bank accounts, everyone finished strong (and were more than happy to do so!).
The final kicked off with a thoroughly relaxing trip from China to Los Angeles. Landing at LAX, Dana/Matt, Sheri/Cole, and Tyler/Korey made their way downtown to Angeles Plaza. From there, one member of each team had to ascend a skyscraper, literally hurl themselves off the edge, and then catch the next clue in midair. Other than Matt, everyone had take more than one pass at the "Leap of Faith," causing our hearts to fly into our throats every dang time.
Next, the teams hopped a plane to Santa Barbara to search a crowded harbor for the Theresa Ann. The social media mavens quickly took to the Internet to track the ship down, but a little confusion about the docking location caused Sheri and Coal to loose precious minutes. The next clue then sent the world-weary competitors to...
...Gibraltar Rock, where the teams stared into an abyss once more. In a complicated bit of dizzying theatrics, one team member glided out across the canyon while the other plunged down the steep slope to retrieve each half of the clue. Once back on solid ground, the teams merged their findings and beat feet to the final road block.
Titled "Roll Out the Barrels," the last puzzle put our memories to the test. One competitor from each team had to rearrange wine barrel tops to spell out each city they've hit over the last twelve legs. To make the word jumbles just a little bit harder, the unscrambled words had to be matched with the hashtag clue from each location.
Ultimately, Dana and Matt hit the mat first, proving that Dana's fiery personality comes equipped with a million-dollar prize. Sheri and Cole snagged second place while Tyler and Korey came in third.
