Well Eric and Danielle won the $1 million dollars in last night's finale of the Amazing Race All-Stars and now they can go their separate ways. She'll be all the better for it. Incredibly, the bickering couple were the team that thought most alike when they needed to, allowing them to solve the final clue separately, then have a 2-minute head start over the Beauty Queens and Team Shmirna in a race to the finish line.

Beauty Queens Dustin and Kandice landed in first place this week on Amazing Race as the suave confidence of Oswald and Danny begin to unravel. The boys were seriously short on coin (down to their last $16) and, knowing they did not have enough money for future taxis moving around Macao, they offered the BQs a deal: they would sell out Eric and Danielle if the girls would give them money. The "yield deal" was an easy call for everyone involved.
Eric and Danielle are barely still in the race after coming in last in the ninth leg of the Amazing Race: All Stars. Once again, stubborn Eric refused to stop and ask for directions and his frustrations are causing his team to lose time. Since it was a non-elimination leg, the fighting Eric and Danielle have another week to insult and scream at each other, watch Team Shmirna pass them by, and roll their eyes at the beauty queens.
Most of the Amazing Race All Star teams ended up stranded at the Johannesburg South Africa airport for nearly two days while trying to get a fight to Zanzibar in a weird twist where Charla and Mirna (Do you speak Spanglish?) ended up almost a day ahead of everyone else. At the back of the pack, three teams were frustrated to be in last place but they had no choice since their flights left hours (make that days) later than the front runners.
The power couple started the race in first place and wearing identical smug grins but Rob and Amber got beaten out by crazy Mirna and and her dwarf cousin Charla after a mail sorting roadblock at the End of the World.
The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan admits he wasn't so keen on the idea of having an all-star edition: "The big question was, 'Who would we pick?' Because after 10 seasons we just had such a great range of teams," Keoghan told TVGuide.com. "You can only imagine how difficult it was to leave out teams like the bowling moms, the clowns and the gutsy grannies, Lynn and Alex... there are so many great teams." 
In news that's no surprise to fans, Rob and Amber Mariano, TV's most successful reality couple, will return for another around-the-world trip in "The Amazing Race: All-Stars" which will begins February 18.
