Uchenna and Joyce, Inspirational Run To The Finish

What a win for them both! After suffering a flat tyre and being stripped of all their money and possessions, this couple battled back strongly from last place to win the Amazing Race. Now I hate reality shows in general but the Race is different. What makes this season sweet is having to witness the sacrifices each makes to move on in the game.

One episode in particular stood out for me was when Joyce decided to shave her head. It was plain to see the internal conflict, but the resolute in her was gut-wrenching and even more beautiful.
For a woman to do that, damn... it was vulnerable and brave, what she did. The part where Uchenna wanted to make sure the taxi driver got his fare and begged for money from passers-by really ache my heart in every inspirational sense. That's just integrity. Unbelievable stuff and what a perfectly satisfying ending!
p.s. Folks at my office are asking me if I would join them in The New Paper Big Walk. lol, like I'm sooo race material!
