Surprising more than a few people, mother/son duo Margie & Luke emerged as the clear team to beat through five legs, scoring their second leg win of "The Amazing Race 14" with the help of a key alliance.
The one concern that I really had for Margie & Luke is whether their alliance with ex-cheerleaders Jaime & Cara was actually mutually beneficial. For leg five though, Margie & Luke did gain some benefit as Jaime & Cara held their own cab to allow the mother & son to follow behind them.
That decision by the ex-cheerleaders allowed Margie & Luke to stay in the top tier of racers throughout the remainder of the fifth leg. Task issues for the pair weren't a problem, past the initial difficulty in finding the appropriate snowplow for the Detour. Though embarrassed by the underwear provision, Luke had no issue with the cold-weather running Roadblock.
Margie and Luke continue to play the game both with sincerity and strategy, an effective combination for any "Amazing Race" run. It's difficult to imagine the pair being eliminated anytime in the near future.
