The Amazing Race’s finale episode of Season 32 aired on Wednesday, December 16th at 8 PM Eastern Time. Teams embarked to New Orleans, the most-populated city in the Pelican State: Louisiana (southern UNITED STATES). If you have not yet watched this thrilling episode and want to do so: spoiler alert! This post reveals the team that won $1 million!
● After leaving Manila in the PHILIPPINES by air to New Orleans, teams arrived in the Crescent City and proceeded to Louis Armstrong Park to find their next clue.
● “Let’s Party”: after arriving at the famous Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, teams joined a parade and were tasked with collecting a total of 50 red beaded necklaces and 50 gold ones. These necklaces were thrown out by partygoers in the spirit of Mardi Gras. The necklaces — some of which had quite giant “beads” — were similar to the ones worn by the parade’s Grand Marshal.
● “Who will be left holding the baby?” Roadblock: teams searched for a small baby figurine inside one of many king cakes. They were then treated with the delicious duty of eating six powdered beignets.
● The next item on the teams’ itinerary was not for the faint of heart. One member of each team was harnessed to the Crescent City Connection Bridge, and the three competitors bungee jumped 180 feet off the bridge to grab a clue suspended over the Mississippi River! All six finalists then slowly rappelled down to a lower level near the bridge.
● “Let Good Times Roll”: with the help of arrow signs, teams rolled a large ball to an enormous warehouse containing plenty of Mardi Gras decorations and accessories. Teams rummaged through the warehouse for a crate containing 32 large “puzzle” pieces. Teams positioned the pieces atop the large ball to create a globe of the world.
● After visiting 10 different countries (or 11, if you include the USA) and 17 cities all while traveling a total of 33,000 miles, teams arrived to the last Pit Stop of the season: Mercedes-Benz Superdome, “where the [New Orleans] Saints go marching in!”
● After winning $1 million as a team, James and Will experienced another amazing moment. Will offered a marriage proposal to James! Winning $1 million in an exciting city on a fantastic TV show is sure to make one of the best engagements ever!
In the extended YouTube clip below, Will noted that about six months ago before the win, James picked a fortune cookie enclosed with a spot-on prediction: “You’re going to embark on a great adventure.” Additionally, the number of this season of The Amazing Race (32) was one of the lucky numbers listed on the fortune cookie paper!
● This post concludes GeoFact of the Day’s coverage of The Amazing Race Season 32. I hoped you enjoyed my recap posts — and one of my favorite shows on TV!
