The three remaining teams compete for the $1 million first-place prize as the second edition of the race around the world concludes. ""It is a truly sensational finish,"" reports host Phil Keoghan. ""I was standing at the finish line waiting for the teams to come in and thinking 'This is what reality television is all about. To be here right now and not know which team is going to run up first and collect the money.' "" At press time, the pairs still in the hunt are lifelong friends Chris and Alex, brother-sister combo Blake and Paige, separated couple Tara and Wil, and best friends Oswald and Danny. The final dash includes stops in Hawaii and Alaska before ending near Las Vegas.
