What’s Hot On TV Tonight – The Amazing Race Finale for Mother’s Day.
It was kind of sad to see the Detectives leave the Race last week, as while they started out kind of slowly, they’d picked up steam and become frontrunners along the way. I actually thought they had a good chance as brothers Dan and Jordan waited a couple hours to Race alongside them just for their help. Most people are now expecting Cowboys Jet and Cord to run away with the million here, and if they do, we really need to see those new belt buckles. It could be a great Mother’s Day gift for their momma. “Oh my gravy!”
