Welcome to the last leg of The Amazing Race, now a little less queenly. We're down to an odd final three - Tyler and James, Kimberly and Rob and surprisingly, Lyn and Karlyn, the first all female team to make it this far. It's a race to the finish...who will win? Well, if you saw the previews for last week, you figured it was Tyler and James. But who knows, those promotional editors have thrown us off before. Let's race recap, shall we?

Rob and Kimberly get their clue directing them to an unfinished church in the center of Barcelona. The teams must, according to the clue, "figure out" that this church is the Sagrada Familia. In this case, "figuring out" means asking the closest person they run into on the street, and each team gets directions fairly quickly. The harder part of this task is searching the park surrounding the church to find the clue box. Rob and Kimberly seem to find it fairly quickly and determine they must travel to Paris, France and get to the Eiffel Tower. Tyler and James and Karlyn and Lyn take longer to find the box, but they eventually get their clues.

Of course, as it is close to midnight, the teams get bunched in the airport as the ticket agents do not open until 4 a.m. Rob and Kimberly get the last two tickets on the first plane out to Charles DeGaulle airport, which leaves at 6 a.m. Tyler and James have their first tiff about the fact that they were beat onto the flight. The models end up on a flight to Charles DeGaulle leaving at 7 a.m. Meanwhile, Karlyn and Lyn take a 7:25 a.m. flight which gets them into the Orly airport. Apparently, the Orly airport is closer to the Eiffel Tower and they actually end up getting to the clue box first. Their fortuitous plane selection was just that � fortuitous. That does not stop Karlyn from giving themselves credit for figuring out that they would get an advantage time-wise.

So, Team Bama gets to the Tower first and finds the clue box. The teams are directed to take a train to Cannes and from there they are to go an airport. All the teams manage to get on the same train and arrive at the airport at relatively the same time, with Tyler and James getting there slightly ahead of the other teams. It's a roadblock � both members of the team go up in a prop plane, while the selected team member skydives with an instructor onto Normandy Beach - one of the beaches the Allies stormed on D-Day. The other team member is treated to a nose dive by the pilot. After the plane lands, the team member in the plane takes a taxi to the train station. The team member that jumped is driven there by a jeep driver. Tyler takes it for their team. Meanwhile, Kimberly completely wipes out running to the clue box (given how boring this finale ended, this wound up being about the most entertaining moment of the night). Kimberly takes it for her team, much to the chagrin of Rob, who really, REALLY wanted to sky dive. Karlyn goes for her team. During her flight and jump, Karlyn actually looks like she's having fun. She actually smiled! Anyway, each team completes the jump and the respective partners are reunited at the train station. The teams are directed back, via train, to Paris, where they are to find the Place de la Concorde, a square in the city.

For whatever reason, Rob and Kimberly decide to change money in the center of town. By doing so, they miss an earlier train that comes into the station, which Tyler and James and Team Bama get on. Rob and Kimberly get on the train at its scheduled time. All the stress of this little train drama is negated when Rob and Kimberly catch up to them at the connecting station. Therefore, all teams are on the same train getting into Paris. More edited drama � James and Tyler can't get a cab. But of course they do and end up getting to the square. Rob and Kimberly find the clue box first (despite Karlyn and Lyn actually getting to the square first) and get their detour clue. It's a choice between Art and Fashion. In Art, the teams must get a painting at a gallery and walk it through Paris to an artist, who will give them their clue. In Fashion, the teams must find Anatomy Fashion Studio, where they must create a jacket, fitting it to a mannequin. Something must have been left off of Phil's discussion of the tasks, because Art seems SOOOOO much easier. Yet, each of the teams chooses Fashion. James and Tyler justify their choice by saying because they are models, they've been fitted so many times. How that translates into making a jacket I don't know, but maybe they were onto something as they finish first. The judge for this task is quite a stickler � she in turns refuses to give the clue to Rob and Kimberly and Team Bama a number of times. But eventually, they all get their next clue.
