[cymbal roll] ♪ Dan: Nine days ago, our four teams left North Carolina for the journey of a lifetime.

- Your first destination is St. Petersburg, Florida.

- Amity, Arkansas?

Dan: New phones, new rules, and the task of documenting their trek across the country with beautiful photos.

All of our teams were competitive and remained in the race through Day 9.

On that day, Team Green earned its final strike.

Team Green, you unfortunately will not be moving on to Day 10.

And today, our three remaining teams will gather here, in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

♪ This is Lake George, one of the most scenic summertime lakes in the country.

These iconic paddle boats have taken people up and down this lake for decades, and it's on these shores where our teams will battle for the coveted title of Relative Race champion.

♪ Lake George is home to dozens of iconic summer camps that provide amazing experiences for kids and their families.

It's an American tradition of sorts in the Northeast.

If these bunkhouses, docks, cabins, and coves could talk, they would tell tales of personal growth, fun, and family connections, and this is Adirondack Camp, one of the oldest summer camps in America.

Since 1904, families have been coming here to see their summer dreams come true and to create memories that will last for generations.

Today, Teams Red, Black, and Blue will suit up and face off in a series of camp challenges to determine who will walk away with $50,000 and be crowned our Relative Race champions.

And with dark clouds and wicked weather headed our way, drama is sure to follow.

Jaime: I popped my knee.

Man 1: Breathe.

Sit back.

Dan: Welcome to this final day of our tenth anniversary of Relative Race!

DNA tells us who we are and where we came from.

Following their own DNA, four teams are racing... Hannah: Oh my gosh!

Dan: ...to win $50,000... Alex: Fingers crossed.

Dan: ...and to find their family.

Jaime: We got this today.

W-w-we were working the entire week, we've been frustrated in a car and driving through maps, and now we finally get to compete in person on the ground.

Cannot wait.

♪ Dan: Teams, welcome to Day 10 of this 10th anniversary of Relative Race.

For the past nine days, you guys have been racing across the country, finding new family, and we hope these discoveries have been life-changing.

Team Red, how has that changed you?

Alex: Well, so far, our journeys have been very heartfelt and, uh, very emotional, but, everything I want and more.

Jaime: I can honestly say that I am a entirely different person now, at the end of the race, than I was before this race, and my family has grown as well.

Dan: Team Black, Jamie and Jansen, what has this meant to you?

Jamie: The world.

I mean, we have, it has completely changed our lives forever.

Have met so many people that we have, had no clue that we're related to, and not only are we related, but we're closely related.

Jansen: It really feels like, uh, the missing part of my heart is full, finally.

Dan: And Team Blue.

Safe to say that most, if not all of those questions have been answered?

Curtis: I mean, it meant so much to meet my biological father.

I can't put it into words.

You know, I've always wanted brothers and sisters.

Now, I have that, so, yeah.

I'm, I'm just amazed.

[laughs] Shawn: I've definitely gotten a lot of answers out of this trip, and, more than that, you know, I, I've learned to really give myself grace for a lot of the mistakes that I've made, so, thank you.

Dan: What a great way to sum this journey up for all of you.

Family is everything, but today, we're about to find out who will walk away with the title as Relative Race champion, and let's not forget the check for $50,000.

You excited about this?

Because I am highly competitive, so-- Curtis: Definitely.

- I expect nothing but the best today, guys.

Shawn: Cool.

Curtis: Oh, yeah.

Dan: So, let's explain how this final day is gonna work.

Throughout the day, with each challenge, you have an opportunity to accumulate points.

At the end of the day, we'll tally up those points to see who the winner is.

So be aware, be focused, because this will decide who's the champion.

Are you ready to get started?

All: [agreeing] Dan: Good.

Get ready for your first challenge of the day: The Hunt.

[dramatic music] [techno beat] ♪ Dan: The first challenge of the day is The Hunt, a modified version of dodgeball and capture the flag.

One team are the hunters, armed with yellow balls.

The two other teams are the targets.

They must capture flags hidden in the forest and place them in a giant, yellow, Relative Race circle before the hunters can hit them with a ball, eliminating them from the game.

For targets, 16 colored flags are scattered throughout the field.

Place a flag in the circle and receive ten points.

A giant flag is worth 30 points, but, there's only one of those per round.

For hunters, each elimination is worth ten points.

Hunters must also be actively hunting; they're not allowed to guard the circle.

Each game is two minutes long, and the teams will rotate to give each team a turn at being the hunters.

♪ When I blow this horn, you, the targets, will be given a 30-second head start to try to locate your colored flags, but remember, when the second horn goes off, this game is live, and the hunt is on.

Are you ready?

All: Yes!

Dan: Good, because the hunt starts now.

[air horn] ♪ Curtis: There's blue right there.

Tiffani: No, no, where?

Curtis: Right here.

Shawn: The strategy was to use our walkie talkies to communicate to the team.

Tiffani: I see it, I see it, see it, see it.

Curtis: Yep, there it is.

Tiffani: I see it, see it, see it, see it.

I'm pretty glad that we got to hunt first to go after that big flag.

Steve: First was goin' for the big points.

Jaime and Alex: [agreeing] Alex: Get it, get it, get it!

Jaime: Got it!

Oh!

[air horn] Steve: C'mon back!

Jaime: I arrived to the 30 point flag first.

Tiffani: I had, uh, one hand on it, he had one hand on it, and he took that opportunity and took off with it.

Jaime: We had a bit of a, of a scuffle, and I got a bit bloodied by Tiffani the champion.

- That's what happens when you mess with me.

Dan: Three, two... [air horn] You're live!

Good luck hunting.

Jansen: Our strategy as hunters is to just knock everybody out as quick as we can.

Austen goes left, my dad goes right, and I go up the middle.

Jamie: Ah!

[bzzt] - As soon as Jaime took off with the flag, I just got nailed by Team Black.

Jaime: I saw Jansen from the Black Team just loaded up, arm cocked, ready to throw.

I'm out.

And I went to change direction, I slipped on some bad terrain and wound up on my face, flag underneath me.

Dan: Jaime has been tagged, and he is out, he was bringing in that bonus flag.

Jansen: Our strategy as hunters is just knock everybody out as fast as we can.

Steve: [panting] Austen: I look over my shoulder, and I see Steve going for home base, and I'm like, aw, crud!

I start chasin' after 'im, I take my ball, and I just hurled it as hard as I could.

[ding] Dan: Too late, and so Team Red plants the first flag, nice job, Stephen.

Steve: Each flag is worth ten points, and right now, we got ten points.

Jamie: Watch out behind you!

Jansen: Where's Red?

♪ Jamie: Here, get 'im, he's, get 'im!

[bzzt] [bzzt] Austen: I know that Steve is on the hunt again, and he runs into a cabin, and now I know I've got him trapped.

Steve: Trapped!

Austen: And as soon as he leaves, I start chasin' him around the cabin.

Steve: [panting] Austen: And I get him right in the back.

Woo!

Steve: Agh!

Darn that!

Jansen: When it comes to Alex, I was engaging Alex, and bring him to one area.

Alex: I found a very hidden flag, and I was trying to sneak my way back, but I noticed a bright yellow ball, and I realized what was happening.

I'm back, dude, they're comin' after me!

[bzzt] Augh.

Dan: Team Black has eliminated all of the targets.

Alex: Dang it.

Dan: That means Round 1 is over.

Alex: Goin' into Round 2, we definitely gotta get more points on the board.

Dan: Round 2, and your flags have been repositioned throughout the playing field.

Team Blue, you are now the hunters.

Teams Black and Red, you are the targets.

So you ready?

Shawn: Yes.

Curtis: Oh yeah, we're ready.

Dan: Are you ready?

All: Yeah!

[air horn] Jaime: I'm with you.

I'm with you, Steve, go.

Jamie: I'm thinking, with Blue hunting, we're gonna score right here.

Jansen: Where's the flag?

[laughs] Jaime: Flags, flags, flags, flags, flags, flags, flags.

- Right as soon as the whistle blows, you can run out, and if you find a flag quick enough, you can come and plant it and then get back before the hunters can grab the balls.

Dan: Hunters, are you ready?

Curtis: Yes!

[air horn] Tiffani: As soon as we took those hoods off, and before we could even get to a ball, here comes Steve with another flag, runnin' up the aisle.

Get Steve, get Steve, get Steve!

Get him, get him, get him, get him!

Curtis: Too late, no ball.

[ding] Steve: So, yeah, I was able to run and grab a flag, come back, plant it before they were able to grab a ball.

Dan: Stephen Dimmett, he's got a flag in place.

Steve: Ugh, really?

Tiffani: Yeah.

Knowing that Red Team was gonna do so well, we wanted to get them out as quickly as possible.

- And Tiffani is after Stephen, in the playing field.

Steve: Agh!

Tiffani: Ah, got ya!

And so I Immediately get Stephen out, and then turn around, and boom.

Steve: Go, baby, go!

Alex: Ugh!

Dan: They collide into each other.

Alex: We each placed a flag in the second round.

- Yeah, Team Red.

Alex: Team Red till you're dead!

Tiffani: Alex got one right in target, so I just run around the target and just nail 'im.

Steve: All right, go, right behind you, right behind you!

Alex: Oh!

Dan: Tiffani scores another hit.

Curtis: Hey, this way!

Steve: Right, right in front of you!

Alex: Watch out, watch out, watch out!

Tiffani: Go, baby.

Dan: Tiffani has got Jaime in her sights, and she is off after Jaime.

It's now hide and seek.

Steve: She's comin' right behind ya.

Tiffani: Jaime got away from me, got behind some cabins, and, I figured that he was just gonna hide, hide it out, he didn't have any flags on 'im, so, like, game on.

Austen: Black attack!

Come on.

I'mma run cover for you.

I see Jansen with the big flag, and one of the things that we talked about is guarding the guy with the big flag, so I start running alongside Jansen so that there's a distraction.

Curtis: Hey, this way!

Jamie: Remember!

Jansen.

Curtis: This way.

Tiffani: Go, baby.

Curtis: I saw Jamie runnin' towards home base, and he tried to do his little moves, and, uh, he tried to fake me out.

Jamie: I'm out!

[bzzt] Austen: We have to sacrifice ourselves so somebody on, on our team can get this 30 point flag.

Shawn: So Jansen just comes whizzing by me, holding the big flag, and I'm like, oh!

Curtis: Hey, this way!

Shawn: Missed!

Austen: Shawn takes off after me, he throws the ball at me, he misses, I eat it.

Jansen gets away, however, the ball ricochets.

Jansen: Hoo!

Ugh.

I'm out.

[bzzt] This round I get out because it was pure luck.

The ball just rolled into my feet.

Tiffani: I got Jaime down here!

Where you at?

Turn around, Blue, Blue!

This way!

You guys gotta get Jaime!

Jaime, uh, I figured that he was just gonna hi-hide it out, he didn't have any flags on 'im, so, I'll get you!

I got Jaime down here, turn around, Blue, turn around!

- Comin' to your left!

Tiffani: You guys gotta get Jaime!

Agh!

Jaime: Missed!

I'm runnin' through the cabin, Tiffani goes to peg me and she misses, I juked her, and as I come around the corner, there is Curtis.

Alex: Bring it in, bring it in, bring, come on.

Run, run, run!

Watch what he's doin'!

Steve: Throwin' it behind me!

[bzzt] Woof.

Jaime: There was nowhere I could go, and, uh, he got me.

He got me good.

Dan: Oh, yeah!

Curtis with the hit.

Jaime is out.

Shawn: So, when we were listening to the rules being explained, you know, you can't hold two balls at the same time.

I thought it was something else.

Curtis: This way.

Tiffani: Go, baby!

Curtis: One ball, one ball, one ball!

One ball!

Dan: Shawn had two balls.

Team Blue's getting ten points deducted.

Shawn: So, because of that, our team, sorry guys, we got ten points deducted from this challenge.

Dan: We have one target left, and that is Austen Williams.

Shawn: When it came down to me tryin' to get Austen out, she was just kinda staying back.

Austen and I are talkin' right here.

You want it?

And, right when I saw her go to jump, I threw the ball... [deep boom] Austen: Uh.

Good shot.

Shawn: And it just barely grazed her, and, I got an out.

Dan: Here comes Austen Williams, our former champion, and that means Round 2 has come to a conclusion.

Alex: Being the hunters for the last round allowed us to strategize before goin' into it.

- This is the final round of The Hunt, the final opportunity.

Are you ready?

Shawn: Yeah.

Jamie: We're ready!

- Because The Hunt starts again... now!

[air horn] Jamie: Just go.

Hey, go get the big flag, Jansen.

Go by it, go get it.

Jansen: My thoughts are, why don't I get the flag and distract 'em so that everyone else can go get the little flags?

Huh.

Big flag close to the lake.

Tiffani: Go, go, go, go.

All right, guys, I got one.

I see a flag, and I'm, like, run back as fast as I can.

I hadn't heard the horn yet.

[air horn] Dan: And just like that, Tiffani has come in.

She's got one flag in place.

Tiffani: Ack.

Jaime: Get her out, get her out!

Out, that's one.

[bzzt] Steve: She ran and got one and was comin' back, so I ran and got a ball and cornered her, and she just had nowhere to go.

- Nice shot, Steve!

Jaime: Curtis, on the other side!

Hey, go right!

Go left, go left.

Jaime: Got him, got him.

Tiffani: Go, go!

Dan: Curtis... has been hit.

Jaime: Nice throw!

Dan: And he had his blue flag ready to go.

- I was runnin' the, a blue flag in.

As I run in, Steve is standin' right there with a ball, and he tags me.

Good job.

Tiffani: You all right, Jaime?

Jaime: I came down on my, uh, on my knee with my leg straight, and I heard a pop.

I had to pop it back in place; I was trying not to cry.

Austen: Yes!

- Agh!

Yeah, she robbed us of those ten points for hiding until we timed out.

That's a good strategy on her part.

Curtis, get back on your kayak, buddy!

Steve: When you're battling over the ball and tryin' to keep your balance, uh, it's precarious.

Shawn: The ball gets locked up with the sticks, uh...

It's deceptively heavy.

Steve: I mean, you can go over pretty easily, especially when you're reaching out.

It's difficult.

Alex: You got it, Jaime, it's all yours!

Jaime: Ah, yeah!

Alex: Take it long, get it!

Austen: Get through!

Alex: Oh, come on!

Get there!

Mmm.

Steve: Agh!

Dang it!

Dan: Oh, down and into the water goes Shawn from Team Blue.

Steve: Uh oh.

Shawn: When I fell in, uh, I got some water in my mouth and had to jump on the kayak, and then when I realized, this is the wrong side of the kayak, I had to get back off, flip it over, and then do it again.

[wheezing] And by the time I had done that, I'd got so winded that I, I just couldn't breathe.

[sighs] So I, I kinda freaked out a little bit.

[coughs] Dan: Teams, teams!

Stand by!

Man 3: I got the, I got the oar.

Shawn: Okay, okay.

Man 1: What happened, bud?

Shawn: [coughs] Man 1: Breathe, sit back.

Shawn: I'm trying to.

Jamie: When Shawn falls in, it was like, is he okay?

Because he didn't get up real fast.

Shawn: I can't breathe full breaths in my nose.

Man 1: Okay.

Breathe through your mouth, then.

Shawn: [heavy exhale] Jaime: The medics come out and sw-- rescue swimmers.

Shawn: I just couldn't get any air.

And, I just, every time I would exhale, I just felt like I was inhaling a little less and less, and, so...

I'm sorry guys.

Thank you.

Man 1: Count one.

Shawn: Uh, I don't want any more, I already drank too much.

Shawn: [exhales] 'Kay.

I can do it.

Steve: I felt bad, 'cause I was right there, but I, you know I, I thought you had it, and I didn't realize.

But, um, I'm glad you were, you were all right, and you got to get back out there.

♪ Dan: The final challenge for Day 10 is Diving for Answers.

In a cove on the lake, trivia questions are submerged underwater.

The questions are in colored tubes that teams must retrieve and open.

Pink tubes are easy questions, worth five points.

Yellow tubes are hard questions worth ten points.

Each team designates a diver that goes down, a spotter who finds the tubes, and a reader who reads the questions.

They then collectively select a final answer from multiple choice questions about the beauty of America.

After a correct answer, teams blow their horn.

They have ten minutes to accumulate as many points as possible.

The waves are so intense that they're goin' into my snorkel while I'm lookin' down, and the first one I see is pink.

I'm not gonna be able to get out there with them, so I had to swim back to the rock.

Austen: Just, go, you dive.

You just dive.

- Shawn, are you okay?

Dan: But are you okay?

Can you sit here okay, or do you want us to bring a medic in?

It's Kilauea!

No.

Alex: It's, uh... Tiffani: The first buoy we got is the most active volcano in the world, and, having lived on Hawaii, I immediately knew which one it was.

It's in Hawaii, it's, it's in Hawaii, it's Kilauea.

Jaime: Yeah, go ahead.

Tiffani: Final answer, final answer, final answer.

Jaime: Final answer, yeah.

Tiffani: Kilauea.

[ding] Dan: Team Red has got one correct answer.

Tiffani: We got one!

Dan: Team Red just picked up five points.

Jamie: Come on, what's in... Steve: All right.

The national animal of the U.S. is A, bald eagle.

Jamie: The first question we got, it was America's... Steve: National animal.

- ...national animal.

And what's the first thing that you think of?

The bald eagle.

I mean, so that's what we think of, we said bald eagle.

Steve: Bald eagle, final answer.

[bzzt] Jamie: Go get another one-- Steve: What, American Bison?

Jamie: No!

Jansen: It's American bison.

Steve: Uh, I'm sorry.

I shoulda read 'em all.

Jamie: We start reading all four answers before we take a sudden guess.

Steve: Yes.

- Let's go, go for the shallows.

I noticed pretty quickly that Shawn was not with us.

I'll paddle over there, you save your energy and dive.

Finally, I said to Curtis, you just try to dive.

You save your energy, I can paddle, that's why I have this paddle.

You dive, and I'll come to you.

My plan was that if we could at least get some tubes, then we could swim back to Shawn and at least be able to answer some questions.

And so, I just started doing my best to look through the water for us to get questions on where I could be like, go dive there.

Tiffani: Go, go for it.

I got it, I got it, go, go.

Steve: The waves made it pretty difficult just to sit on top of the kayak.

Let us know if you see any, too.

I haven't been able to see 'em.

I can't see anything from on top of the kayak.

Jansen: I'm the only one who's able to see anything by swimming around frantically underwater, trying to find them.

Jamie: And then, he has to come back up to get a breath, then to dive down and get it.

♪ Steve: 'Kay, I'm gonna read 'em all.

Alex: The game plan is to get out as far as we can to find the deeper buoys.

Jaime: Alex was spotting, so Alex would spot a color, I'd catch my breath and dive down for it.

Tiffani: Go, go, go.

If you need it, in there, go.

I think there's one right down there, too.

Tiffani: Look, can you see?

While he's, while he's looking?

Or maybe that was it.

♪ Steve: The Statue of Liberty's original color was A, copper... ...B, green, C, gold, D, blue.

A, copper?

Jamie: A, copper.

Steve: Let's get it!

Jaime: Okay.

Tiffani: Okay.

Jaime: In America?

Tiffani: Route 66, Route 66.

Alex: Route 66.

Tiffani: Route 66, final answer.

Alex: Final answer.

[ding] Yeah!

- Team Red just picked up another five points.

But I'm really concerned about Team Blue.

We have Shawn over here, he's out.

His legs have cramped up, he's done.

Curtis is over here, struggling, away from the kayak.

Curtis: So, while I'm tryin' to dive, my calves started cramping up, and when I tried to dive, it just really would spasm, so, I really couldn't do anything about it.

Dan: Right here, this gentleman right here on the shore.

Medics have been called in for Curtis, Shawn is sitting here trying to hold off his cramps.

Austen, there's nothing that she can do above the water.

Team Blue has done their best, but it appears that they're gonna come up short.

Tiffani: Blue Team is outta the water, so we weren't sure what was going on.

We knew that they were getting medical attention, so we just focused on task at hand.

I think there's one right down there, too.

Steve: All right.

Oh, you're good.

You're good!

Come on.

Curtis: Because I am so competitive, um, yeah.

Have to stop in the middle of a competition was a little bit difficult for me, but, while I was sittin' there lookin' at Shawn, I know he was hurting, and dealin' with my own injuries, I just kinda was, like, I was okay with it.

I was happy that the other teams were competing.

Jamie: What more could you say, I mean... That's showin' some real sportsmanship, and I, and I feel for Curtis.

Curtis: The reason I came on Relative Race was to find family, and I was able to do that, so I'm, I'm content.

Shawn: Am I discouraged?

Yeah, I'm really discouraged.

[scoffs] It's, it's hard.

It's hard having issues, and it's hard to put one foot in front of the other, but, I mean, that's determination, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to go on the trip for these ten days.

I'm just happy for the chance that I got to come out.

- I was a little bit worried about Team Blue.

I was hoping nobody, nobody got, uh, hurt too badly, but when I saw both out of the water, I just went back to diving.

Dan: And so now, the battle continues between Team Black and Team Red.

Their divers are going down furiously.

Tiffani: Go!

Just go, I'll follow you!

Alex: Jaime!

Tiffani: Jaime!

Alex: Jaime, here!

Right here!

Jaime: You know, diving was no joke.

The waves were kinda choppy, and I came up a couple times to try to catch my breath and caught a wave to the face.

One time, I was diving for a yellow buoy, and I had a, a snorkel full of water, and I had to make the decision halfway down whether I was gonna swallow that water or come up and try again.

I swallowed that water and got that buoy.

Alex: You're doin' great, Jaime!

Jansen: Yellowstone.

It's either Arizona or Boulder.

Alex: I would say Colorado River, 'cause it's the Colorado River.

Tiffani: No.

Alex: It's not?

We fought to the very end.

Jansen: And I know we gave our all, so, I feel happy.

- Since, you know, we knew we didn't, uh, complete it, I was very curious to find out between Red and, and the Black Team.

♪ - What a day it's been.

Three well-deserving teams battling the weather and each other in three very difficult challenges, and while the drive to find family is why Relative Race exists, we're about to find out who has earned the right to be called our tenth anniversary champion and walk home with $50,000.

It all came down to the points, and we're about to tally them up.

The first challenge of the day was The Hunt, and remember, you had to rotate until everybody had an opportunity to be targets and hunters.

What was your strategy coming in, Team Red?

- It was about, uh, getting as many flags back to the, uh, the starting point as possible, and, uh, using Steve to block for us and to, to, you know, get points on the board.

Dan: Well, in the end, one team did a better job than the rest, and that was Team Red.

You picked up 90 points in The Hunt.

Team Black, you finished with 60, and right behind you was Team Blue with 50.

And so, still, anybody's day, anybody's game to win.

And so, we moved on to Paddle Polo, and we rotated your former champions.

This was very different.

The winds picked up; the winds got choppy.

It was hard to control the ball and your kayaks.

What was the most difficult thing for you guys on Team Blue?

- Uh, for us, it was just trying to get our bearings and to remember how to use kayaks.

I, I don't know if Curtis had really had the experience, so, just kinda trying to roll with the punches.

And, you know, those capsizes were rough, too.

- Well, in the end, it was incredibly close.

So close that Team Black and Team Red actually tied.

You both were able to score three goals.

You both picked up 15 points.

Team Blue, you added five more points.

And so, headed into our final challenge of the day, Team Red, you did have the early lead.

But with two different point values and dozens of possible correct answers waiting to be retrieved, this was very much anybody's game to still win.

Team Red, we switched former champions; you're headed out on the water.

It's blowing harder than ever before; we do have whitecaps when this started.

What were you talking about?

Jaime: We were just trying to get, uh, dive down and, uh, get back up without getting, uh, mouthfuls of water.

It was, uh, really rough and choppy out there, and it was hard to see the surface, so as you're coming back up from the dive, you wanna take a nice, big breath, and you're getting a mouthful and a, and a face full of water.

It was just kinda tough, but, uh, we were, we were trying to find the highest point values and going after those.

- Team Black, Jansen seemed to be a powerful, strong diver.

Did you settle on him early on as your diver?

Jamie: Absolutely.

I mean, he's, uh, Jansen has got more strength and more desire than anybody I could ask to be teamed up with, and I knew that he was gonna be able to power through.

- Team Blue, you were hurting physically entering this challenge.

What were you talking about before you headed out on the water?

- Uh, so, yeah.

Uh, we were hurtin' a lot, but we were talkin' about, uh, between the two of us, who, who was able enough to try, and, so, that's what we tried to do, is just get out there and try what we could.

Dan: Strategy was key, but the unknown factor is always there waiting for you.

You had two different point values, everything on the line, and then that horn went off, and things quickly went awry for Team Blue, and in the end, you were unable to complete that challenge.

And so, we watched two teams battle it out.

One team did better than the other in this challenge.

Team Black, you picked up 45 points.

Team Red, did you pick up enough points?

Did you answer enough questions correctly to hang on to your lead?

Team Red, you picked up... 30 points.

And so, with an overall point total for the day of 135 points, you are the winners of Season 10 of Relative Race!

Dan: You started this competition as complete strangers.

You bonded over your search for family, and now, you head home as our champions, and with this check for $50,000.

Congratulations to Jaime and Alex, strangers no more.

Dan: Relative Race champions forever!

Congratulations!

Jamie: Congratulations.

Steve: Congratulations, brother.

Tiffani: Good job.

The winner of Season 10 of Relative Race was...

Both: Team Red.

Alex: When Dan announced that we were the winners, we're feelin' pretty, just, overjoyed because we've had a lot of ups and downs this trip.

And, as much as family is there for us when we're finished, havin' this money to take home is gonna be really, very, incredibly helpful for both of us.

Over the last two weeks, we've grown a bond that I feel like is a whole lot stronger than what it was before.

Austen: You did great, it was so nice to meet you.

Curtis: Main reason I came on this show and I'm happy that, uh, Relative Race chose me was to meet family, and that's what I was able to do.

Dan: Make it official, team.

That's yours!

Alex: Yeah!

Jaime: Yeah!

Alex: My journey is not over.

The person I set out to meet on this journey decided that yes, she did wanna meet, but not on camera.

So, once I'm home, after I rest for a little bit, I do get to take another trip to go and meet my mother.

Jaime: This has been one of the best trips of my life.

One of the best weeks of my life.

- We came into this journey as strangers, and we're leaving this journey as brothers.

Dan: Relative Race rolls on, once again, but on this day, you guys will forever be crowned as our tenth anniversary champions.

Congratulations, guys!

Way to go!

- Strangers no more.

- Strangers no more!

Jaime: [laughs] [triumphant music] ♪
