The Amazing Race 37 finale: Who won?

We knew that tonight’s The Amazing Race 37 finale had the potential to deliver a little bit of drama — but was it actually unpredictable?

The first thing that we should say is that entering this final leg, it honestly felt like Carson & Jack were the odds-on favorites by a wide margin in Miami. They had the most wins and beyond just that, Jonathan & Ana were frequently combustible. Their biggest threats in Alyssa & Josiah were eliminated back in Portugal at the start of the episode.

Through a good chunk of this particular 90-minute send-off, what we saw was that it was actually Han & Holden who proved to be more of the bigger threats to the nerdy friends than anyone. Almost everything, at least from our vantage point, came down to a water jetpack roadblock where teams had to go it alone and stay afloat on the water. Given that Han actually had a lot of surfing experience, the assumption was that she would do rather well. Yet, she struggled at first while Carson & Jack managed to get ahead. Ana, meanwhile, had an extremely hard time with it, and she and Jonathan fell too far behind to recover.

Carson & Jack are, in the end, the winners of this season — and yea, it is not a surprise. It is ironic that as fun as this race can be much of the time, the finales are almost always the worst part. There are just not a lot of teams left to generate excitement and from a production standpoint, you are rooting for someone struggling and that may or may not always happen. Basically, this is a part of the show that rarely ever produces close finishes. We have seen them here and there but typically, these episodes go a little bit like this.

Nonetheless, major congratulations are in order to the winners! They certainly proved themselves quite worthy over time.
