'The Amazing Race' ends with San Francisco finale

[May 10, 2010]  LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Daniel and Jordan Pious sneaked into first place to win "The Amazing Race."

The distinctively different siblings from Barrington, R.I., crossed the finish line first in San Francisco to take home the CBS reality series' $1 million grand prize. The brothers overcame cowboys Jet and Cord McCoy from Tupelo, Okla.; and dating models Caite Upton from Lexington, S.C., and Brent Horne from Columbia, S.C.

During the final leg, the teams were tasked with ascending up the Coit Tower, navigating a virtual maze at visual effects company Industrial Light and Magic, lugging a giant trunk through the streets of San Francisco and assembling a puzzle of the previously eliminated teams from the around-the-world race's 16th season.
