The sun goes down, and we catch up with Brad and Victoria, wrestling their coffin downhill by the light of their headlamp. Yeah, even if the Amazing Editors had wanted to, there was no way they were going to make this look close at the end. Brad looks like he came out of a slasher movie by the time they get their flag and their clue. "What fun!" Victoria chirps. We hear a bit of their valedictory interview as Brad says the Race will be with them forever. "I can't think of a better person to share this experience with than Victoria." They reach the mat, and the pan flautist is apparently not getting overtime, as they are Philiminated in blessed silence. Victoria solo-interviews, "This wonderful adventure around the world is going to change the way we live our lives together." Change number one? No more Amsterdam.
