After 40,000 miles, nine countries, five continents and two aggressive product placements for Travelocity and Snapple, a pair of former losers won The Amazing Race: Unfinished Business.
So which second-chance team earned the million-dollar prize—and redemption—in tonight's feel-good finale?
Sisters LaKisha and Jennifer Hoffman crossed the finish mat in Miami first, the second (and consecutive) win for an all-women team in The Amazing Race.
And no team had more to prove than Kisha and Jen, whose infamous pit stop (Jen was drinking a lot of water) at Beijing's Olympic stadium knocked them out of the finals in their fourteenth season.
The sisters movingly dedicated their Mother's Day win to their mom, promising, "Now it's time to give back to her." Aw!

Riding to second-place were Harlem Globetrotters teammates Herb "Flight Time" Lang and Nate "Big Easy" Lofton, who pedaled mightily on giant tricycles across the Florida Keys' old Seven-Mile Bridge (shorter than their previous ride down Lichtenstein but vastly more strenuous), but simply could not catch up to the women.
Bubbly beauty queen Mallory Ervin celebrated her third-place finish with dad Gary with her typical jubilance, even after their chances at victory were destroyed by an incompetent cab driver named Sterling (who certainly did not live up to his name). Even more poignant than their genuine goodwill was Gary's gratitude that his daughter still enjoys spending time with her old dad. Can we get another aw?
