The Amazing Race 2025 Winners – Jag & Jas Bains Claim $1 Million Prize
Brothers Jag and Jas Bains were crowned winners of The Amazing Race 2025, Season 38, in a nail-biting finale held in New York City, as they took home the prize money of $1 million.
The Road to Victory
Season 38 of The Amazing Race, otherwise known as the European Adventure, was one of the more competitive seasons in recent years. This season pitted 13 teams, each with at least one former Big Brother contestant paired with a loved one, against each other through 11 legs across Europe. Contestants were put through challenges that tested everything from endurance to teamwork and adaptability. Everything from racing through the busy streets of Paris to completing cultural tasks along the Italian and German countryside required physical stamina, mental acuity, and strategy.
The finale brought the remaining teams back to the United States, racing through iconic New York City landmarks. These included stops at the Empire State Building, Epices Bakery, and Sesame Workshop before finishing up at Yankee Stadium. Their final three teams included Jag and Jas Bains, Taylor Hale and Kyland Young, and Joseph and Adam Abdin. In the end, they truly finished the race in an extremely suspenseful way.
The Final Leg
The exciting leg started with the Queens making a bold rappel down the Empire State Building-a challenge that instantly split the pack. Jag and Jas were the first to arrive, showing just how bold and coordinated they are. Taylor and Kyland were right behind, while Joseph and Adam brought up the rear. New York challenges demanded precision and speed, such as bakery challenges and creative problem-solving at Sesame Workshop.
In the end, Jag and Jas never once lost their lead in the leg, showing the same consistency that had seen them through the earlier parts of the race. And staying calm under pressure and sharing tasks efficiently was just the winning formula. Crossing the finish line at Yankee Stadium, brothers won a place in the history of The Amazing Race for winning Season 38.
The Competitors
While Jag and Jas celebrated victory, other finalists did not disappoint either. Taylor Hale and Kyland Young, a dating couple, kept their resilience and often came back into the game after being at a disadvantage, changing their fortunes with strategic gameplay. Brothers Joseph and Adam Abdin knew for their energy and enthusiasm, fought hard but fell short in the final leg of the competition. Earlier in the competition, engaged couple Izzy Gleicher and Paige Seber were eliminated in France, narrowly failing to make it into New York.
Why This Season Stood Out
Season 38 stands out not only because of its European setting but also because it featured a number of familiar faces from Big Brother. It gave an extra dimension to this season, with many being very keen to witness how the vets from reality TV could withstand the unique stressors that come with The Amazing Race. It also underestimated what family and partnerships mean for a lot of people, which several teams had used to get themselves out of a bind at some point.
The finale itself was commended with very high-stakes challenges and dramatic pacing that set it apart and made it truly one of the most memorable conclusions in recent years. A win by Jag and Jas resonated with audiences who love brotherly teamwork and perseverance.
Looking Ahead
Now that Season 38 is a thing of the past, fans are already speculating about what could be next for The Amazing Race. Still fluid, the show blends cultural exploration with some heavy competition. As streaming platforms continue to push the walls of reality television, this franchise remains an international favorite, offering audiences entertainment and, at times, inspiration.
This win brings in more than prize money; it celebrates brotherly love between Jag and Jas Bains. Arguably, the brothers’ journey across the continent of Europe to victory in New York City will be etched into the memories of the viewers as a defining moment in the annals of The Amazing Race.
