Who will win 'The Amazing Race?'

The season finale of The Amazing Race airs tonight, and host Phil Keoghan has hinted that the finale may surprise everyone. So, who’s still in it to win it and has the best chance of taking home the million-dollar prize on this season of The Amazing Race?

The Cowboys: Jet and Cord McCoy

This pair of bull-wrestling brothers started strong, faltered a tad in the middle, but came back even stronger towards the end of the season. Jet and Cord have finished in first place more than any other team this season. Best known for their famous saying, “Oh, my gravy,” this team seems to be the one to beat. However, the finale not only involves a physical challenge, but teams will also be asked to recall previous moments and competitors from throughout the season. If there is any chance for a stumble, this will be it for the cowboys. Chance of winning it all: 50%.

The Brothers: Daniel and Jordan Pious

These two bickering brothers from Rhode Island are as different as night and day. They’ve definitely had their challenges in the game, and their worst enemy may very well be themselves. When tension arises, Daniel and Jordan bicker to no end and create an even bigger hurdle to overcome. However, somehow they’ve survived, and even won in the past. Will the two have what it takes to make it all the way to the end in Las Vegas or will they reach the elimination station in last place? They should do very well in the recall challenge. Chance of winning it all: 30%.

Miss Teen and Her Beau: Caite Upton and Brent Horne

The former Miss Teen South Carolina was the butt of water cooler jokes after flubbing her answer during a nationally televised pageant. When Caite Upton and her boyfriend Brent Horne were introduced to the other competitors, many snickered under their breath. The pair had a very bumpy start in the competition, finishing towards the back of the pack in almost every challenge. However, as the game progressed, the team started picking up momentum. Phil Keoghan recently complimented Caite and Brent by saying, "I think one of the most exciting things is that Brent and Caite are still in the competition, against the odds. Right from the very beginning, I don’t think the other teams saw them being at the end.” Will the momentum carry them through the finale and be enough to bring them across the finish line in first place? Chance of winning it all: 20%.

Here’s the kicker. While everyone may be betting on the cowboys to take home the cool million, Phil Keoghan has hinted at a surprise ending. “This season, we have a very tense finish,” he recently blogged. He also refers to one team confronting another on the mat and added, “The show’s fans are routing for the beloved professional bull riders to win and that ending isn’t necessarily happy for everyone.

Oh, no! The cowboys aren’t the winners? This would be a shocker. On the other hand, the surprise could make for a very interesting and climatic season finale. All's fair in love and reality TV.

    These two idiots that finished the race first didn't win in my book. When they jumped line to get tickets first showed they are not honorable people. If you have to cheat by switching seats and other people don't get same chance. You two didn't win this race honorably so join the other low life people of your ilk and shove your winnings up yours where the sun don't shine.Yeah It is race to finish but at least the cowboys can go home with clear conscious they played an honorable game.

    I am disappointed that the producers of this show condone this type of behavior. Maybe they should only allow criminals, theives and gypsies on the show. I am disgusted and karma will get back at those two transgender fellas who won.
