After 10 cities, 4 continents, and almost 30,000 miles, dating couple TK & Rachel became the winners of THE AMAZING RACE in picturesque Anchorage, Alaska, edging out father and daughter Ron & Christina, who came in second place after Christina stumbled at a mind-blowing Road Block puzzle.

OFF TO ALASKA
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 9:47am, father and daughter Ron & Christina opened their clue, which instructed them to fly over 4,500 miles to their final destination city of Anchorage, Alaska. When they landed, they'd have to make their way to the outdoor adventure store, 6th Avenue Outfitters, where they would pick up necessary gear for the journey ahead along with their next clue.
At the airport, Ron & Christina booked the only flight to Anchorage on China Airlines before sneaking off to the lounge for Internet access. When TK & Rachel and Nick & Don arrived at the airport and booked the same flight, they became concerned that the unseen father and daughter had somehow found a better route to Alaska. When Ron & Chris finally showed up at the gate where the other two anxious Teams waited, TK joked, "I can finally start breathing again. Thank you."
FILET O' FISH
Landing in Anchorage, Alaska, father and daughter Ron & Christina took the early lead out of the airport ahead of TK & Rachel with Nick & Don trailing in third place. At 6th Avenue Outfitters, Ron & Christina opened their clue, instructing them to make their way to the waterfront and find Ship Creek Boat Launch.

With all the necessary gear in their hands, father and daughter Ron & Christina continued to hold their lead over TK & Rachel and Nick & Don by arriving at the Ship Creek Boat Launch to encounter the final Detour of the race, choosing between Cut the Cod and Grab the Crab. In Cut the Cod, Teams had to cut through several 50-pound Ling Cod and search for a miniature clue hidden in one of the fish. The task could be disgusting to some, but Teams with the guts to dig into their work could finish fast. In Grab the Crab, Teams had to jump into the hold of a boat swarming with over 500 live crabs. Then, they had to search through the nipping crustaceans for a crab marked with Race colors. The task wasn't disgusting, but Teams would have to deal with hundreds of writhing crabs, and Teams without fast hands could find themselves in a pinch.

While Ron & Christina initially struggled to carve up the very large cod, they picked the right fish to filet first as they uncovered their next clue, which instructed them to travel 60 miles by taxi to a boat landing and take a high speed ride upriver to 20-Mile Glacier. What Teams didn't know was that their clue was waiting atop the massive primordial ice and they would have to climb the glacier face to get it.

As Ron & Christina sped away in first place, Nick & Don arrived at the cluebox in second place after TK & Rachel's taxi driver initially dropped them off at the wrong location. However, Nick & Don immediately lost their narrow advantage over TK & Rachel when they realized they didn't pick up the bag of equipment at 6th Avenue Outfitters, which included gloves for filleting the cod. Back in the taxi, Don scolded Nick for not reading the clue fully, causing them to fall way behind in third place.

SOMEONE PINCH ME
While Ron & Christina headed to the glacier and Nick & Don backtracked, dating couple TK & Rachel felt overwhelmed at the idea of filleting cod and searching through the inside for their clue, so they jumped into the holding tank containing some not so friendly crustaceans. As soon as they picked up crabs to check for the clue, the crabs expressed their displeasure by pinching the couple's hands repeatedly. A wary TK said, "This is rough, babe. I don't know if we chose the right one." After more pinching and pain, TK & Rachel decided to throw in the towel on this task as Nick & Don returned with their gear to filet the cod. However, after overturning a few more crabs before getting out of the tank, TK found one with the yellow and red banner on one of its legs. Relieved at finding the clue, the dating couple told their taxi to hurry because they knew jack-of-all-trades Don would slice open the cod with no problems, which was an accurate assessment of Don's skills.
