Carol Rosenfeld and Brandy Snow bring out the claws
Jordan Pious and Dan Pious, "The Amazing Race" winners
Brent Horne and Caite Upton
The Amazing Race finale is suppose to be full of congratulations, hugs and well-wishing. This year's finish took a different turn featuring a cat fight between Brandy and Caite. Models Brent Horne and Caite Upton and the lesbian couple Brandy Snow and Carol Rosenfeld stayed mad at each other right through the last show.
It started way back at the beginning of this season with Brandy making fun of Caite's intelligence and pageant background (Caite's the infamous Miss Teen South Carolina) and Brandy and Carol ... well, they never stopped.
The final event that caused the eruption at the finished line, was Brent and Caite's U-Turning of Brandy and Carol back in episode nine. A U-Turn forces a team to return to the previous detour and perform whichever task they chose to skip. It's a huge time-waster and in this case, guaranteed Brandy and Carol's elimination in the game. That's good reason to be upset, but not at the finish line. (Brandy and Carol became the first sneering couple in the Amazing Race's usual feel-good concluders).
Get over it already. Plus, when you've been mean to someone for a steady three weeks, it's no wonder this happened.
The winners of the race were brothers Dan and Jordan Pious, who beat the very popular cowboy brothers, Jet and Cord McCoy.

Catie's famed YouTube clip as Miss South Carolina for Miss Teen USA, 2007:
Legendary rockers Styx and Kevin Cronin, lead singer of REO Speedwagon, will team up to co-headline the “Brotherhood of Rock” tour in 2025, which will include a stop at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on Friday, June 6.
The large, 40-city tour will take place over three months, starting in Greenville, South Carolina on May 28, and wrapping up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 24.
In addition to Houston, the tour will go to Austin on June 4 and Dallas on August 1. It will include special guest Don Felder, former lead guitarist for the Eagles, at all dates.
Fans can expect some of the greatest rock anthems of all time, including “Renegade,” “Keep On Loving You,” “Come Sail Away,” “Can't Fight This Feeling,” and “Hotel California.”
Styx and Cronin (as part of REO Speedwagon) first toured together in 2000 and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, coming together to form the Rock to the Rescue 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This will mark their sixth time joining forces on the road.
2022 was the 50th anniversary of Styx's self-titled debut album, but they have yet to slow down. The band released their 17th album, Crash of the Crown, in 2021. Of course, not everyone is a fan, as this classic clip from The Simpsons illustrates.
REO Speedwagon's recording days appear to be done, with their last album coming out in 2009, but the main group of five has been together since 1989. On this tour, Cronin will be joined by REO's lead guitarist Dave Amato and drummer Bryan Hitt.
General tickets for the tour will go on sale starting on Friday, December 13 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets in the U.S. beginning on December 9 at 10 am through the Citi Entertainment program.
Styx and Kevin Cronin will be offering VIP packages via their own exclusive pre-sales beginning on Tuesday, December 10 at 10 am, as well as at LiveNation.com.
