Ten teams of two people each embarked on a race around the world, competing in challenges and puzzles to be the first team to arrive at the final destination, where $1 million was awarded to the winning duo. The teams traveled through Switzerland, France, Germany, Austria and Italy, facing tasks like cheese rolling, wine tasting, and mountain climbing. In the end, Ernie and Cindy outwitted the competition and sprinted to the finish line first, claiming the grand prize after over 20,000 miles of global travel.
