Freddy & Kendra - Winners of TAR 6


Freddy/Kendra Finishes FIRST......& win the million !!

So there you have it....the winners of The Amazing Race 6, Freddy & Kendra !!

The finale turned out to be so competitive & i really didn't expect Aaron/Hayden to be stumped by a bad cab driver & even gave up on the Roadblock & took a 4-hour penalty. I guess they were hoping that Adam/Rebbecca can't finish the Roadblock too & it would be down to who gets to the pit stop first as both teams would suffer the 4-hour penalty.

But alas, it was not meant to be. Rebbecca managed to find the lock that matters most & finished the Roadblock in fine form, lucky for her & Adam. Sheer bad luck for Hayden & Aaron.

So, with Hayden/Aaron eliminated; the 3 teams remaining began their last leg from China to Honolulu, Hawaii & finally to Chicago. It was actually betweeen Freddy/Kendra & Kris/Jon, as Adam/Rebbecca had to much time to make up for due to the last leg at Xi'An, China. It was really tight between the 2 teams, Jon & Freddy even did their Roadblock of skydiving together! It was that tight.

However, the earlier mistake of Kris/Jon came back to haunt them & i bet they must be kicking themselves for that. They booked a flight reaching Chicago 30 mins later with American Airlines, compared to Freddy/Kendra's earlier flight with United. The deficit literally killed their chances.

In the end, it was Freddy & Kendra whom reached the finishing line first. But first having to manuveur their own way to the finishing line as their cab driver was clueless of the final destination.

Nonetheless, i thought it was a fair finish with Freddy/Kendra winning it.

I guess we don't have to wait too long for The Amazing Race 7. Just went on www.cbs.com & realised that TAR 7 is premiering on 01st March 2005. Guess what, it features Rob/Amber from Survivor All-Stars.....kinda unfair. Amber has already won a million, why give her the chance to win another? But i guess, it's done by the producers to increase viewership. However, i didn't think they need Rob/Amber as the catalyst for increased viewership. They will get enough of that with the solid foundation & trills/adventures they put out every season.

Amazing Race ROCKS !!!
