Sure hope the one with the bad knee holds up and he can make it to the end of the race.

I'm worried about his knee, but also, they will have an extra "chore" since they came in last on the last show.

Lynn - I know I will remember playing in the snow for many years. I love it when my adult children still want to play LOL. A few years ago I came home very late from a Christmas party and DD asked if I would go sledding with her, we did and we laughed so hard - they could probably hear us for miles. My pedometer is the cheapest model I could find from Walmart for $3.83 and not worth any penny of it. The buttons are not recessed at all, so it can accidently be reset. I saw a wide range of them, so I would think you could pick a decent one up for about $10. If you want to try out a cheap one, send me your address and I will ship it off to you. KY Susie - I haven't drummed since last year, but the women's weekend is approaching, so I will be drumming soon. I love broccolini, but we can't always get it by me - very tender and just cook it like you would broccoli. If Lynn, doesn't want my cheapy pedometer, let me know, you can try it out - I just question the accuracy. Marci - my oldest DD still says she is heading to San Diego and my DH get's so upset by it. I don't think it will hit me until she actually does it. It's just an adjustment for you and you will snap out of it. Maddie - that guy knows a good thing when he sees it! I can't remember the last time a guy made a pass at me. Tikanis - glad you got to spend some time at the beach - sounds like it was just what the Dr. ordered. I feel that the appliance breakdowns are behind you, sort of a metaphor for this past year - but now you have come full circle and a lot of good is in store for you. DeeMarie - don't feel guilty about not exercising, you had to get your body healthy first. I did what was suppose to be 10 minutes of ab work this morning, OUCH (and I probably only did half of it). Suzanne - when is this cold spell going to break? I am really beginning to HATE it. I could never do what you do - there is no way I could drag my cold butt out to the barn on these frigid mornings. Is SP taking her supplements any easier? Besh - are you hanging in there - how much more snow did you get clobbered with? Gret - hope you are feeling better. I have a ton of work that is going to keep me in my seat today. Maybe whenever the phone rings, I will walk to another desk to answer it.

Hi Kids, Well, another season of The Amazing Race is now over. As seasons go, I don't think this one was all that great. It was very fast, seems like it just started and it's over already. Was it my imagination or did they do less with the 'back stories' this year. I don't remember any 'issues' with any team or any team member...no gay, Goth, deaf, Autistic that came into play during the race. We got lots of potty mouth and whinning but nothing to give us anything to love/hate/be drawn to, just regular people. Not sure if I missed that aspect of the show or if they always made too much of that to begin with. I'm not sure if any of you have noticed that; I may be looking for a reason that this season was just a bit bland to me. Once the KY Boys were gone I really had to figure out who was worth my interest. I was happy with the team that won mostly because I could see some redeeming qualities in both of them. No question, they were the strongest theam from the very beginning and I can only guess what they went throught while Dave was in Iraq for so long. So, good for them. The Border guys were just yuckie. I sure hope they follow through with their pledge to give the KY boys that $5,000. That was the only time during the show that I liked that team. Loved it during the last challange when the guy could not make it to the bottom of the hill. It seemed to me that he defeated himself. As for Rachel and Brandon...OMG! Brandon must be a very smart guy so I sure hope he thinks through his relationship before he marries that whinner. Spoiled Brat comes to mind. Team Vanessa was just a bit off for me. Not a very good history in their relationship so I don't think they are very good/nice people to begin with but man-o-man, she sure gave that chicken game her all. Still glad they did not win. So that's it untill next season. This season was not the best but I still love this show. Great to see so much of the world without having my to leave my own home. sooey

Oh MY...the Blonds are gone. I was happy to see them go. I did not like their bickering or, their negative vibe. I thought the good listener challenge would be easy...so how could it take the Grandson three hours to finish it? You're right flam, the grandpa is doing great. I just hope we don't have to see his thong again... The counting of the fence pickets was really funny. The Blonds were just dumb...they could not get out of their own way. They were so busy bickering that they could not decide how they would count or who was going to count. The short girl/tall boyfriend were a scream to watch. Again...she was soooo annoying. As far as I was concerned, the grandson won the prize on the counting...he counted stuff he was not sapose to but did not panic or start over...he had it all in his head. When he finished he went back and counted the pickets in the gate and subtracted them from his total...and got it right! Good for him! I was surprised to see that so many of them had a problem with the stilts. It looked easy to me but it must have been waaaay more difficult. Did only two teams complete the stilts?...the goths and the father/daughter? Did the TK & Rachel do the stilts? Why would the father take his shoes off? That looked like it would hurt your feet. Shirley, I'm with you re: the father and his hernia. Enough already. He is acting like a baby about it. Did TK & Rachel come in first? Which ever team it was got a great trip to Japan...lots of good stuff. It was a good show. And...the Blonds are gone! Who do you think will be the next to go? Grandpa & Grandson? Father & Daughter? I'll bet that one of those two teams come in last next week but, it will be a non-elimination round. What do you think? sooey

Their blog was great, very gracious and thankful. My husband and I have been married for 38 years and we bicker back and forth often it is not fighting it is just us being us, in the middle of it we might blow kisses or smooches or say but I love you. All our friends know it and know we are basically just playing with each other. Living together long term as the beekmens have you do things like that, better to let it out than let it build up into something explosive. They were even nice in their descriptions of the evil twins. I personally would never in real life have a friend that would steal from anyone anywhere, and I certainly would not think very highly of them. If those girls were so quick to steal that money in front of a tv cameara being broadcast around the world it lets me know it is not the first time and probably won't be the last. That kind of behavior came very natural to them, only after they thought a minute about it did they basically force the other couple to take part of it by shoving it into their hands. I just won't associate with a thief. I had a so called friend that came to a party at my home, found she had gone into the room with the coats and purses and stole out of the purses. I had to make apologies and feel horrible that now people felt they could not come to my home and feel secure. That was the last time she was in my home or anywhere around me. Had she asked me to borrow money if she needed it that badly I would have. I later found she was doing drugs and was going down a dead end road.

Mark and Bopper are my FAVORITES. There are some other individuals that I like, but there's not another team that I would root for.

Without spoiling the ending for me, could you tell me how I can watch the last 20 minutes of the show? We were recording stuff and watching "Race" and fast forwarding it. At 9 o'clock, I was watching Desperate Housewives and was recording the Good Wife and Celebrity Apprentice and and Race was cut off. Is it on Demand?

Just go online and type "The Amazing Race" in the search bar. You'll go right to their website and can watch full episodes there. I do that whenever the show runs late and into another of my favorite programs. Then I go online and watch with no commercials.

I just finished watching it online. As much as I thought the Kentucky guys were goofballs at first, in the end I was rooting for them. I think they were sweet nice guys who'd give you the shirts off their backs. Sorry to see them go. I dislike the border guards a lot now and also Vanessa. So I'm still rooting for the Rachels..either one, but I like R&B. She's a whiner but I still like her. And I would NOT have cut my hair either. No way. next weeks finale looks good. I just LOVE that show. My very favorite one on the air. When I hear that music, all's right with the world.

Hi Kids,

Lily316, you hit the nail on the head re: the KY boys. I really wanted them to win. They were such good sports and such good friends, never a harsh word between them. Now, I am left without a team. Between the teams that are left I guess my fav would have to be the blond Rachel and her husband. The border guys are just jerks, can't stand Vanessa and the other Rachel is just too much for me. Was she a big whiner in the last show she was on?...can't stand it.

So this week we have a two hour final? Did I hear that correctly? Love this show, hate to see it end.

I'm still in mourning over the loss of the Kentucky guys. Does anyone know if the eliminated players get any money? I hope so as I think these guys would be the most grateful, and the most responsible with using it.
