On #AmazingRace, they show the final couples Mike and Rochelle, Hayley and Blair, Laura and Tyler and Jelani and Jenny. That’s three blind date couples and one previously dating couple in tonight’s finale. The teams have to fly 3,000 miles to Dallas, Texas and head to AT&T stadium for their next clue. The teams all make it to the airport and are on the same flight to the US. The plane touches down and the race is on. They run through the airport and Mike and Rochelle get out in first followed by Jelani and Jenny then Laura and Tyler and Hayley and Blair.

Mike and Rochelle get their clue and Mike decides to do the #RoadBlock. The guys all decide to do it and they suit up in football uniforms. A drum line greets them and then a flag line. The teams have to play like a pro but first have to get their playbook way up high, drop down, catch a pass and then kick a field goal. Mike is hoisted 300 feet up, gets his clue and is dropped back down. Tyler goes next then Blair and Jelani. Mike goes to catch his pass and misses.

Mike barely misses his second pass then Tyler gets a chance and catches it the first try. Mike catches his third. Tyler easily kicks his field goal over which puts them in first place as he snatches the clue and they head to P2 ranch. Blair catches his pass easily. Mike is struggling with the kick. Blair messes up his kick then Jelani catches his pass. Blair nails his field goal kick. Jelani flubs as Jenny screams at him like a harpy.

Mike flubs the kick again and then Jelani does too. Tyler and Laura’s cab driver doesn’t know where P2 is and wants their driver to follow Hayley and Blair’s cab but they tell their driver to lose the other car. Mike finally gets his field goal so they leave in third place. Jelani is still struggling while Jenny screams at him. Jelani sinks his and grabs the clue and they’re in fourth. The first two cabs are still sitting there when the other two teams come out.

Mike and Rochelle don’t have a taxi. Laura and Tyler decide to follow a different cab. Mike and Rochelle freak because they need a cab and their driver wouldn’t wait. They went from first to last. Hayley thinks they’re in first place as she spots the clue box at the P2 ranch. They have to deal with longhorn cattle to get the next clue. They have to cowboy up and corral six of the beasts. They saddle up but Blair has never ridden before.

Hayley asks how to stop her horse and the creature is taking off with her. Laura, Tyler, Jelani and Jenny show up right after them and dress up in their cowboy duds. Mike and Rochelle get a cab and the driver says he needs gas. He drives them away from where they need to be to get gas. That is two bad luck taxi incidents in one day. All the teams are trying to herd and Hayley freaks when they have to go through the water. Blair and Hayley get their cattle into the pen.

Laura is really scared of the horse and is worried she’ll fall off. Hayley and Blair get their clue that says to go to Reunion Tower. Jenny falls off her horse but gets right back on. Jelani and Jenny are next to get their cattle into the pen. Laura and Tyler get theirs in next. They head out in third. Tyler’s horse gets ahead of him and it’s #giddyup. Mike and Rochelle finally make it there and Phil is waiting and he eliminates them from the race.

Rochelle says she’s proud and Mike says it’s been a great experience and they agree this has shown them how strong their relationship is. Mike says it was the best experience of his life and Rochelle plans to introduce him to her son finally and they leave hand in hand, the last dating couple of the race now eliminated.

The #RoadBlock at Reunion Tower requires them to rappel down from a height of 500 feet. Hayley heads up. She has to look for the clue on her way down. Blair yells encouragement from the bottom. She has to look around to try and spot the clue. She’s upset that he’s yelling at her then she thinks she sees it at the roof of a parking garage, but that’s not where it is. It’s actually in a field. The other teams see that Hayley is on the tower and dropping down.

She tells Blair the clue box is on the roof of a garage and they head off. Laura and Jenny head up the tower while the guys freak out about Hayley and Blair’s lead. Tyler is upset and really doesn’t want them to win. Hayley is freaking out because they can’t get to the building. Tyler makes fun of Hayley’s voice and her nagging. Laura and Jenny head down and agree to look together so they can beat Hayley. One spots the parking lot and one parks the flags in the field.

Hayley and Blair make it to the parking deck and figure out she’s wrong. Blair says they need to go back and they plan to watch where the other teams go. Hayley fusses at Blair and tells him to help her make decisions about looking around or going back to the tower. Laura and Tyler make it to the clue box first and they see monster trucks. Tyler is so excited and wants to drive one. They pick a green truck and load up. Jenny leads them the wrong way and they have to turn around.

Tyler cranks the truck and drives them through the obstacles. They are both thrilled. They then have to hop out and must do a memory test. They unlock a shed and look at locations. They have to remember what leg each was to get a combination. That gets them a selfie. Jelani and Jenny spot the clue box and they get into the monster truck next. Hayley is back on the tower and doesn’t see anything. Blair isn’t happy they are in last when they were in first.

Hayley finally spots them and drops down. Blair sees her dropping and she apologizes for missing it. They head off. Jelani and Jenny get into their tool shed first and they have to put selfies of them on a map on the side of the shed. Laura and Tyler are struggling with their combination. They finally get theirs open and she pulls out the selfies while he puts them on the map. Jenny nags Jelani and there’s is more of a mess. Laura and Tyler get theirs judge but get a thumbs down.

Hayley and Blair make it into their monster truck. She is in full screech nag mode. Laura and Tyler get a thumbs up and leave in first place. They see Hayley and Blair just getting there and whoop in happiness that they’re in last place. Jelani and Jenny also get their clue to the final stage on a bridge. Laura and Tyler head into the cab because the driver doesn’t know where it is. They hop out and find another driver to tell their driver where it is.

They head out but Jelani and Jenny are close behind. Laura and Tyler’s driver heads for the wrong bridge and they correct him. At the bridge, it’s Laura and Tyler racing for the win. The other teams are there as Phil tells them they have won the Amazing Race. #CongratsTeamSoCal. He lifts her and they spin in joy. Phil says 21 days ago they didn’t even know each other. Phil asks what love they found. Tyler says they have lasting friendship and says he and Laura balance each other out well.

Tyler says they worried they could race together but they learned each others strengths and weaknesses and it took them to the end. Jelani and Jenny make it there a few minutes later and Phil says it was so close. Jenny says she’s lucky she got paired with Jelani and says they were great but they also are in the friend zone. Blair lifts Hayley onto his back as they run up to the final mat. Blair says they have no regrets and Hayley says it will haunt her the rest of her life.

Hayley says it’s all her fault and Phil asks if she’ll ever forget that tower and she says no since she did it twice. Phil says they all came looking for love and Blair says he’s still looking. He says he won’t be officiating any weddings but Matt and Ashley tell him that he can officiate theirs. The teams all join together for a clap. Hayley says if she did the race again she would want Blair as a partner. He says he would race with her again if she wouldn’t yell and she says she wouldn’t if he listens. He rolls his eyes.

That’s the wrap on Season 26 of the Amazing Race!
