After traveling 3,000 miles through 10 cities on four continents, TK and Rachel are the winners of season 12 of "The Amazing Race." The newly dating couple from Huntington Beach, Calif., take home CBS' $1 million prize, with dad and daughter duo Ron & Christina finishing second, and grandson and grandfather pair Nick & Don in third.

Free-spirited but competitive TK & Rachel are model racers - they never argued or compromised their relationship for the game, and they were friendly with the other teams. Their win isn't surprising, but it's hard to be disappointed. "Nice guys can definitely finish first, and I think we proved it with this. We went out, we raced the Race and we won," TK says.

Ron & Christina lead most of the final leg from Taipei to Alaska, while Nick & Don forget to pick up supplies for the "Cut the Cod" or "Grab the Crab" Detour, and trail the entire leg. It's anyone's Race to win at the final Roadblock. The challenge is a difficult brain teaser, where one member from each team has to recall items used on each leg of the Race. Rachel calmly works through the Roadblock, giving her and TK a solid headstart to the Finish Line at the Girdwood Airport.

Ron, who joined the Race to make up for lost quality time with daughter, Christina, chokes up at the Finish Line. "I come up with a first place in my daughter's heart, and the fact that I changed for the better," he says. Don, 69, is the oldest competitor to make it to the final three of the Race. After he and grandson, Nick, cross the Finish Line, the other teams chant "grandpa" for him. Did Don ever think he'd make it to the finale? "Yeah, but not in third!" he jokes.

Season 13 of the Emmy Award-winning "The Amazing Race" is reportedly already in the works.

On "American Idol," the audition rounds take us to San Diego and Charleston, S.C., this week. Single dad Perrie Cataldo, 27, of Phoenix, is a San Diego standout with his smooth Boyz II Men sound. Plus, bringing along his cute son is a bonus. Carly Smithson, 23, of San Diego, has top 12 potential. The edgy Ireland native was a contestant in a previous season, but problems with her U.S. visa prevented her from competing.

My Charleston favorites are Lampkin siblings, Michelle, 26, and Jeffrey, 24, who sing "I'm Your Angel." They're silly, but they can sing. Jeffrey sounds better than his sister, but Simon Cowell can't bear to split them up, so they both earn golden tickets to Hollywood. "You're like a breath of fresh air," Simon tells them.

"American Idol" airs Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. on Fox.

I'm not a lesbian!" she's seen yelling before he says he wants a separation. Get ready for a rocky ride on this show!

On a side note, some disturbing news for fans of Bam Margera's uncle, "Don Vito," who was a regular on "Viva la Bam." According to an Associated Press report released Sunday, "Vincent Margera was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to violating bond conditions for cocaine possession. The sentencing Friday came after Margera was sentenced last month to 10 years to life on probation after he was convicted of two counts of sexual assault on a child." Don Vito has also been barred from playing himself on "Viva la Bam" or in any public appearances for a decade.

Crybabies of the Week

... are two cranky Charleston auditioners on "American Idol," Aretha Codner and Joshua Boson. Aretha's named after Aretha Franklin, and the 22-year-old from Buffalo, N.Y., thinks she's as talented as her namesake, but she's not even close. When the judges dismiss her, she refuses to listen. "I almost don't really believe this because I can sing," she says. "I don't know what they're hearing." As for 20-year-old Joshua from Beaufort, S.C., when the judges give him bad reviews, he flips out, ordering them to never come to South Carolina again. "This show is fake and rigged because I can sing!" he yells, walking out on Paula Abdul's commentary. "Joshua, you are rude and deluded," Simon says. I must admit I'm on Simon's side this time!
