In the great CBS tradition, "The Amazing Race 14" champions Tammy & Victor Jih received their ceremonial $1 million grand prize check on the next day's live broadcast of "The Early Show."
Victor stated that the Romanian experience showed him that he couldn't win the race by himself. Tammy learned from the same debacle that she had to speak up to her big brother. Tammy & Victor had to unlearn their longtime unbalanced little sister/big brother dynamic in order to win TAR14.
Tammy later noted that she felt sorry for Jaime & Luke when watching the final telecast of the show since all of them had become good friends in the interim. For what it's worth, "The Amazing Race 14" completed taping just before Thanksgiving.
Host Phil Keoghan stated that "The Amazing Race 14" was something of a "spring cleaning" for the series as the program refocused on "people" instead of "process". He felt after watching the season that the program had actually become "born again". From my own readings of the Nielsen ratings charts, I would tend to agree with him.
