Okay, we have a tie (as usual), so I'm going to break it. Here are the results:We see that Nat & Kat are outside the Rush Building, where the College of Information Science and Technology is located. Inside one of the computer labs, we see the Linz Family. They greet Nat & Kat and lead Kat to an iMac. Kat sits down and the first question comes on the screen: "Which leg did Rob & Brennan win the Fast-Forward?" The answers are "First leg," "Third Leg" and "Seventh Leg". As Kat looks in her notebook, we hear her & Nat do their confessionals.
Nat: When we learned we'd be competing with former winners, we knew we had to do our homework!
Kat: We researched everything about all the seasons that the other winners competed in!
Kat types in "First leg," and she is right. She moves on to the second question, which is "What was B.J. & Tyler's position when they ended the leg where they Yielded Joseph & Monica?" As she looks up the answer, we see Uchenna & Joyce arrive outside Rush Hall and find the clue box.
Uchenna: Roadblock! Who's doing this one?
Joyce: It involves memorization. I'll do it.
They rush in as Kat types in "4th", which is the right answer. As she moves on to the third question, Joyce sits down at a second iMac and begins the task. As the first question comes up for Joyce, the third question comes up for Kat. It is, "What was the Speed Bump TK & Rachel had to complete before they could move on in Taiwan?" Joyce tries to remember what the answer was as we hear her and Uchenna do their confessionals.
Uchenna: We didn't bone up as much as we should have!
Joyce: My notes didn't have a whole lot of detail.
Meanwhile, Kat is looking over her notes. She types in "Run through a barrage of fireworks" as Joyce types in the correct answer to the first question. As both move on, we cut to the Italian Market, where Kisha & Jen have just arrived.
Jen: I'll make the cheesesteak!
Kisha: And I'll be eating it.
As Jen begins making the cheesesteak, we cut back to Drexel, where Joyce is moving on to the second question while Kat is on the fourth: "How old was Starr when she first competed on The Amazing Race?" Kat types in "21", but Joyce types in "3rd" to the second question. She's wrong. As she tries again, Kat moves on to the fifth question: "Which Detour did Chris & Alex complete in Bangkok, Thailand?" As Kat looks it up in her notes, we see Joyce type in the right answer to the second question. She moves on as Kat types in "Confusion Now." She too is correct and moves on.
As Joyce is faced with the question about TK & Rachel and Kat is faced with the question, "What was significant about Tyler & James when they raced in Season 10?" we cut back to the Italian Market, where Jen is busy making the cheesesteak. We then cut back to Drexel, where Joyce types in the right answer to the third question and Kat types in the right answer to the sixth one. Both move on, with Joyce getting the fourth question and Kat getting the seventh one: "Where did Megan & Cheyne have to go in order to win the Fast-Forward?" Kat looks at her notes, as does Joyce. Both type in the right answers and move on.
As Joyce is faced with the question about Chris & Alex and Kat is faced with the final question: "Where were Tammy & Victor when they got horribly lost?" we cut back to the Italian Market, where Jen has finished the cheesesteak and Kisha begins to eat it. As she eats it, we cut back to Drexel, where Joyce types in "Confusion Later," and Kat types in "Romania." Joyce is wrong -- but the yellow and black stripes come up on the screen for Kat, who cheers!
Nat: You did it, Kat! You were awesome!
The doctors rush up to the Linz Family.
Megan Linz: Here is your next clue.
The doctors thank the Linz Family as they open the envelope and read the info.
Kat: "Make your way to the FINISH LINE!"
Phil: Teams must now make their way to Fairmount Park and find the Shofuso, or the Japanese House as Philadelphians informally know it. The garden is the finish line. The first team to cross the finish line will win another million dollars and be considered the best of the best.
Uchenna: Damn! They're already done!
Joyce: And I just missed my question!
Nat & Kat rush out of Rush Hall and find their taxi driver.
Nat: Do you know the fastest way to the Shofuso?
Taxi Driver: Yes. That's in Fairmount Park.
Kat: In that case, get us to the park on time!
The doctors drive off as Joyce gets the fifth question correct and moves on to the sixth one. As she types in that Tyler & James were recovering drug addicts, we see Kisha finish the cheesesteak and see her & Jen receive their next clue.
Jen: "Make your way to Drexel University."
Kisha: Let's go! We're still in it, sis!
The sisters rush out as we see Joyce look in her notebook for the answer to the seventh question. She gets it right and moves on, where she faces the final question. She types in the right answer -- and moves on as well!
Megan Linz: Here is your next clue.
Joyce: "Make your way to the Finish Line!"
Uchenna: "The Shofuso." Let's go, dear!
They rush out and get into their taxi. We then cut to Nat & Kat, who are on their way to the finish line.
Nat: We'll give you all our money.
Kat: Just get us there really fast!
In Uchenna & Joyce's cab:
Joyce: I missed two questions. Damnit!
Uchenna: At least you soon got them right.
We then cut to Drexel University, where Kisha & Jen have just arrived and find the clue box.
Kisha: It's a Roadblock.
Jen: I'm taking it, sis.
As they rush in, we see Nat & Kat stuck in traffic on the Schukyll Expressway.
Nat: Honk your horn if you have to!
Kat: Just get us past the traffic!
The taxi begins weaving in and out of traffic as we cut to Uchenna & Joyce.
Joyce: Let's hope we can catch up.
Uchenna: Here's all our money.
The driver goes faster. We cut back to Nat & Kat.
Nat: We're almost there.
In Uchenna & Joyce's taxi:
Joyce: Come on! Come on!
Back in the first taxi:
Kat: Get ready, Natty.
Back in the second one:
Uchenna: Relax, honey.
We cut between Nat & Kat and Uchenna & Joyce before cutting to the garden surrounding the Shofuso. Outside the house, a taxi pulls up and we see the eight teams clapping and cheering. Even Victor is cheering, albeit half-heartedly. Phil looks and when he sees the first team, he raises one eyebrow.
Nat & Kat are screaming in delight as they come into view, dropping their backpacks as they run. They pass all the teams and Phil waves them onto the mat.
Phil: Six continents, eleven cities, Nat & Kat you are the official winners of the Winners' Edition of The Amazing Race! (Nat & Kat are screaming almost incoherently as we see all the teams clapping and cheering.) You have won another million dollars and can rightly be considered the best of the best! Can you believe it?
Nat & Kat (together): NO!
Phil: What is it like, winning for the second time?
Kat: It feels awesome! I couldn't have done it without Natty. We'll always be best friends.
Phil: And Nat, you won again despite having Type 1 diabetes.
Nat: It feels even sweeter winning this time, knowing how hard it was the second time around.
We hear Nat & Kat do confessionals.
Kat: We may have been more consistent this time around, but our friendship was rock-solid the first time around.
Nat: And our friendship is still rock-solid. I couldn't have done the race without Kat. She was just awesome!
After they hug, we see Uchenna & Joyce arrive. As they run up, they see Nat & Kat on the mat. They smile gamely, run up to the mat and hug Nat & Kat once they get on it.
Phil: Uchenna & Joyce, you are the second team to finish the Race. Congratulations.
Uchenna: Thanks. We're glad we did it again.
Phil: Are you disappointed to have lost?
Joyce: No. We lost to a really great team.
We then see them do their final confessionals.
Uchenna: We had a great time on the Race, and nobody can take that away from us.
Joyce: We'll always have each other, whether we have children or not. I love him.
We then see Kisha & Jen finally arrive. They run up and join Nat & Kat and Uchenna & Joyce on the mat.
Phil: Kisha & Jen, you are the third team to finish this race. Congratulations. (Kisha & Jen nod as the other teams applaud.) What went wrong for you two?
Jen: We got the Curse of the Bad Taxi Driver.
Kisha It happens. It just wasn't meant to be.
We then see Kisha & Jen do their final confessionals.
Jen: Getting into the finals twice in a row is an outstanding feat for any team!
Kisha: We're glad we got into the finals again, even if we didn't win this time.
We then see all of the eliminated teams come up and congratulate the finalists, especially Nat & Kat. We see two teams do their confessionals as well.
Megan: We have no hard feelings towards Nat & Kat for U-Turning us in Singapore.
Cheyne: After all, Tammy & Victor used them to get rid of us. And they got karma.
Victor: I wish we'd been the ones racing up to the mat instead of standing there cheering the finalists.
Tammy: I wish the same thing. But we had a great time along the way, and I had a blast on the Race!
We then see Nat & Kat do their final confessionals as we see all the teams on the mat, along with Phil.
Nat: We had the time of our lives doing the Race again.
Kat: Winning was just a bonus. It was just priceless!
We see Nat on one side of Phil and Kat on the other. Uchenna & Joyce are on Nat's other side, while Kisha & Jen are on Kat's other side. The final shot is of Nat & Kat holding Phil's hands up in the air as part of a victory salute.
*****************************************************************
Well, that's that. Nat & Kat have won for the second time, and I'm done! I'll post the final Elimination Station part and the interviews with the Final 3 teams but I want you to tell me how you liked the race.
