The Amazing Race 30 finale preview: Who should win?

Amazing Race 30 finale

The Amazing Race 30 finale is airing on CBS come Wednesday night, and at this point there are four teams competing for the grand prize: Alex & Conor, Jessica & Cody, Henry & Evan, and Kristi & Jen. This season was billed from the start as one of the most competitive in history and we absolutely think that it’s lived up to that.

The two-hour finale tonight is close to being the best thing that the network could’ve possibly asked for given that some of the bigger names of the season are still around. Take, for example, having the IndyCar drivers still in the race — and of course team Big Brother, who is by far the most popular among CBS viewers already.

Of these teams, who is the most likely winner? If we are just thinking in terms of past winners, Alex & Conor seem to fit the bill the most — male/male teams are typically super-strong in final legs and beyond that, they seem to be presented in a way that is overwhelmingly positive. They’ve had very little conflict and simply come across as likable, optimistic guys. Jessica & Cody absolutely have their fans, but as of late their finish order has been a little bit all over the map. We’d say that either them or “Team Yale” Henry & Evan — who have to complete a Speed Bump — are likely eliminated in the final four. (If Henry & Evan make it to the finale they may become the instant favorite to win; there is a big cognitive test typically in the finale and they could have a big leg up on that with their background.)

The first hour of the episode is taking place in Hong Kong, and it looks as though this could be one of those legs that takes place overnight. If there is a spot to do that, why not have it be Hong Kong? It’s one of the most brilliant and visually stunning cities out there. The sneak peek below is your setup for the remainder of the episode.
