After a wrapping up the all-star 18th season of the Amazing Race with a nail-biter of a finale that included everything from getting waxed all over in Brazil to bob-diving through mermaids and underwater musicians in the Florida Keys, the racers took time out to party at the Loews South Beach in Miami.

The top finishers were in attendance, including first-place sisters Jen and Kisha Hoffman, second-place Globetrotters and hilarious pals Flight Time and Big Easy, third-place father-daughter team Gary and Mallory Ervin, and four-place BFFs Zev Glassenberg and Justin Kanew.

The 'Amazing Race' Has Its Own Limited-Edition Snapple Iced Tea

While the all-stars of this season's Amazing Race have tackled a ton of crazy challenges thus far, a memorable one was the tea-tasting task in India. Early in the leg of the race, teams sipped a hot mango tea. Later they had to taste their way through hundreds of teas to match the original mango cuppa.

The tea challenge actually had two purposes: to showcase India's more than 2,000-year-old traditional beverage and to highlight Snapple's new India-influenced tea. If you can't make it to India to partake in a tea service, Snapple has unveiled its new papaya-mango "Amazing Race" tea.

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, the cowboys started in last place, but ended up making the cut, as did the pink and black attack, who gave us a headache with their nonstop bickering. The BFFs came in first and Ms. Kentucky and her dad came in last, though they weren't sent packing—it was a non-elimination leg. Six teams remain. Will Ms. Kentucky and her dad be able to overcome their impending penalty speed bump? Who will get cut next?

In the last episode of The Amazing Race, things weren't looking so good for the cowboys. An inept travel agent gave them on the wrong flight, which put them in the back of the pack. But the brothers managed to hustle and make the cut. The Globetrotters made an impressive first-place win, considering they came in last in the previous leg. Unfortunately, the Chinese dad-daughter duo had to go home. Six teams are left. Who will get sent packing next?

'Amazing Race' to Go Down Under for Its First Aussie Show

Looks like we're not the only ones who heart The Amazing Race. Australia is gearing up for its first season of the show. More than 40,000 aspiring racers applied to run Amazing Race Australia, which is supposed to air next month.

Unfortunately, those Down Under don't get Phil as a host. But some might argue that they get someone better: True Blood's vamp-blood-drinkin' werewolf Grant Bowler. Though like Phil, the Australia-raised host does have New Zealand ties; Bowler was born there.
