It all comes down to this! One team from Season 38 of The Amazing Race will be the first to cross the finish line in New York City during the Wednesday, December 10, finale, and they’ll take home the $1,000,000 prize.
The episode began with the conclusion to the penultimate leg. With Jasmair “Jas” Bains/Jagateshwar “Jag” Bains and Taylor Hale/Kyland Young already confirmed as finalists, it all came down to whether Adam Abdin/Joseph Abdin or Izzy Gleicher/Paige Seber reached the pit stop in France first.
It ended up being Adam and Josh who finished first, which meant Paige and Izzy were eliminated. The finalists then received their clue to head to New York City, which set the final leg of the race in motion. Although Jag and Jas have had six first leg finishes, the other teams did not go into the finale defeated.
All three teams arrived in NYC at the same time and had to catch taxis to the Empire State Building, so everyone was on equal footing. Jag and Jas arrived first and learned they had to rappel down the iconic building to receive the next clue. Taylor and Kyland showed up next. Everyone except for Adam, who’s terrified of heights, was excited about the challenge.
Keep refreshing because we’ll be updating this live blog all episode long.
