Tammy, Victor Win Amazing Race 14 - CBS - Reality TV Circus
Lawyers and siblings Tammy and Victor Jih from California won Amazing Race 14 last night in Maui, overcoming NFL cheerleaders Cara and Jamie, as well as the feel-good story of the show, deaf Luke Adams and his mother Margie.
Luke and Margie left Beijing for Maui in control, heading into a road block in first place. But that’s when it started to unravel, as Luke had trouble matching all 12 surf boards to their respective task.
Victor was chosen to finish the road block and did so with relative ease, surpassing Luke into first place. Leading up the pack were Cara and Jaime, and Jaime chose to help Luke finish the road block but both were well behind Tammy and Victor heading into the finish.
It was a remarkable race for both Luke and Margie, mainly because Luke is the first deaf person in the race’s history. But it was also special for Tammy and Victor, both of whom had trouble communicating during the early legs of the race, but used their wits to become a force as the race went on.
Tammy and Victor are now winners of the $1 million grand prize.
