A Harvard-educated brother-sister team won the $1 million grand prize in the 14th edition of the globe trotting game show the "Amazing Race."
The winners, Victor Jih, 35, and his sister Tammy, 26, are both practicing lawyers in California, the Associated Press reports.
To wrap up this season's race, three teams traveled from Beijing to Hawaii for the game's finale, which the AP notes involved preparing pigs for luaus and racing on personal watercrafts to find clues floating on the water.
Tammy Jih is an associate at Quinn Emmanuel and brother Victor Jih is listed as a partner at O'Melveny & Myers.
See an earlier interview with the duo at Above the Law.

I actually hate this show as it emphasizes all the worst aspects of international travel and none of the advantages and delights. It thereby reinforces the idea that the world travel outside of America is harsh, unpleasant and unrewarding.
That said, I caught one of these episodes and these lawyers conducted themselves with dignity, honor and decorum. Their behavior reflected well on the legal profession. Congratulations!
