Amazing Race -- Great Winners

[Spoiler alert: If you're coming here from, say, New Zealand, and you don't want to know who won The Amazing Race, do not read further! (Sorry, Rachel.)]

I took a break a few minutes ago to empty the dishwasher (yes, kiddies, the life of a web god is not always as glamorous as you think) and I switched on the TV just in time to see an interview on Fox with Chip and Kim, the winners of the latest installment of "The Amazing Race."

I confess that I've never seen "The Amazing Race," and probably never will. However, I was impressed with the latest winners, who live in southern California. They came across as level-headed, competent, articulate and attractive people with great personalities. But the thing that impressed me the most was their answer to the interviewer's question about what they're going to do with the million bucks they won: right off the top, they're going to give a tithe to their church in Orange County.

Chip and Kim have apparently raced around the world, and now they're putting feet to their faith. I don't want to read too much into all of this, but they seem to be winners in the most amazing race of all.

Eric!!!! It hasn't finished over here....:( I was hoping brandon and Nicole would win - also Christians. Oh well, I guess I will watch it anyway tomorrow.

Rachel, I had no idea...I'm SO sorry! It never occurred to me that this would be "new news" to someone, especially since they were doing TV interviews with the winners.

In any event, I thought you guys got stuff BEFORE we did, not after. I learn something new every day. Again, I apologize.

That's okay, no we get this sort of stuff after you guys. We are not that far behind (the final for us is tomorrow), but we don't get those sort of interviews over here always - depends what our programmers decide ;)
