UCHENNA AND JOYCE WIN: Who woulda thunk it? Oh, yes, that's right -- anyone who noticed the early Internet gambling money put on the nice couple to win The Amazing Race. Since the accounts came from California and Massachusetts, one might think that good ol' Boston Rob and Amber were in on the insider trading scheme. But watching the finale, you also could say that the several people approached for money by Uchenna and Joyce outside the Ft. Lauderdale finish line could be possible suspects. After all, they didn't know what was going on at the time, other than a nice couple was nearing the end of a race, and cameras were involved. Then seeing the couple on TV, they might have done the math and thought they'd make a little money themselves. Or it's something else entirely. Just saying.
