For what it's worth, here is an excerpt from Kisha & Jen's post-race interview with RealityTVWorld.com:
RealityTVWorld wrote:
Reality TV World: Did you guys really finish just "seconds" behind Cara and Jaime at the Olympic stadium? I know that's what [The Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan] said, but they didn't seem to still be there on the mat [or nearby].

LaKisha: We're guessing [it was] minutes but you really never know, there's really no concept of time during the race until someone is running right next to you.

Jennifer: Yeah, let's just say I did not piss away a million dollars, please. Let's just say that.

Reality TV World: Actually, that's kind of my next question and I'm not really sure the best way to bring this up, but there actually has been a lot of discussion this morning about what people would be willing to do for a million dollars...

Jennifer: Exactly...

Reality TV World: ...and you know, peeing their pants seems to be something most folks have thought they'd be willing to do. Did you realize how close things were [with Cara and Jaime] at that point or did you not realize how tight it was?

Jennifer: No, I just wasn't going to pee on myself (laughs)

Reality TV World: A perfectly legitimate answer... (laughs)

Jennifer: I've been getting calls 'Oh, I would have peed on myself' [and I've been saying] well, you're never put in that situation, ever, in life, so you can always say that it's something that you would do but when you're in that situation we'll see how you'd react.

So I've been like yeah, it was a funny episode [and] you know, it happens. Stuff happens so we've definitely moved on and I don't regret anything that I did in the race and I think my sister and I ran a great race.

Reality TV World: And this is obviously a hypothetical, but do you think you would have made the same decision if that had been the race's final finish line instead of the penultimate Pit Stop?

Jennifer: Um, from the previews where they are around water I probably would have pissed in the water (both laugh)

Reality TV World: The gross food [Roadblock] task, Cara really seemed to fly through it. Was that something that surprised you?

LaKisha: I would say yes. I think both of us joked that she must have had zero gag reflex just because when we left the Roadblock they were just starting. So she must have like pretty much swallowed it whole. (Jennifer laughs)

I think the other thing was that their cab driver dropped them off pretty close [to the stadium] where you could see from the show that our cab driver dropped us off [farther away]. And all those factors concerned left us, you know, in fourth place.

Reality TV World: But you didn't actually get lost on the way there or anything like that, it was basically the bathroom break that was the [final] difference maker?

Jennifer: No...

LaKisha: Well, our cab driver didn't drive very fast

Jennifer: Yeah...

LaKisha: ...theirs, it looked like he was going a hundred miles an hour. And you know you count the distance that he dropped them off to the distance to the distance our cab driver dropped us off and you know...

Jennifer: Lots of factors

LaKisha: You know there were several factors, it wasn't just one single instance that really put us in that position.

Is it against the rules to wear a Depends or a catheter?
Might see future contestants trying it! :p:

Tonight's finale: I felt bad for Luke, since he was rocking the surfboard task up until the last two boards, but overall I'm satisfied with the ending tonight!

I thought it was pretty cool of the cheerleaders to help him out on the last board.

True. Of course, it was mutual -- Luke had helped them with the ones they were missing. Still, it was cool how they seemed to get along well the entire race.
