The Amazing Race Finale....

16 years ago

I'll admit, I hate that those sulky, tantrum-prone brothers won over the cowboy/brothers. I really wanted to see the cowboys take those boys down to the floor in the Shanghai airport and hog-tie their whiny butts. I KNOW it didn't matter much in the grand scheme of things since there were enough tickets to go around, but what if there hadn't been? I think those brothers really showed their butts last night and when Cord (Jet?) was giving nice loud directions to his cowboy brother who wasn't even dressed for the task, I was HOWLING with laughter, because it was annoying Dan so much.

I'm sorry the cowboys didn't win, but I think they'll go so much further in life, if they want to, than the whiny brothers who actually got the check. Level-headed, happy, oh-my-GRAVY, their wives are so lucky to have good men.) Smart, too- they bought that book and it saved them a lot of time and trouble finding Coit Tower. (Whereas, last week, Dan and Jordan could find their way out of a paper bag for 2 hours and needed to follow the cops. Losers.)

And how about that Bitter Brandy? Talk about showing your butt- she's unbelievably nasty and I hope Karma comes up and bites her hard. (Hey, is it bad Karma to wish Karma on someone? lol)

Your thoughts on last night's show?

    I heard that Brandy and her GF are no longer together because of their experience on the show. I couldn't stand Caite so I didn't mind Brandy mouthing off to her. The way she was name-calling the cab driver was unreal! The brothers really disappointed me in their airport behavior. Really uncalled for. This is the first season I have watched. I was rooting for the cowboys too. I liked their comments at the end. So true!

    I really wanted the cowboys to win. It goes to show that the game CAN be played with integrity and class. Because of how they played, they made the game look effortless.

    I did not like the whiny brothers who won or the models, but kudos to her for standing up for herself at the end.

    It's fun to watch episodes of places I've been. I live in the bay area so last night was all familiar territory. My DH travels to Shanghai quite often and was pointing out several places he frequents.

    This season the episodes were 90 minutes long, because production anticipated the writers/actors strikes and knew that there would be time to fill. The season airing now was not supposed to be shown this season - they flip-flopped it with what will be next season (that was supposed to be this season). Next season Survivor will start with two, two-hour episodes, and then the remaining episodes will be 90 minutes each.

    I was really happy with ‘old school’ AR this season. That is what they called it and I really hope they stick to the format. Most of the racing teams really didn’t get into any huge arguments (a few did, and I chalk most of that up to the stress and fatigue of the race itself). The finale was great. The winners were smart and played smart all the way. But any one of those 3 teams could have won.

    I think you can get other seasons on various streaming services that I don't have. But Netflix will have a couple of seasons at any time, which is enough for me. About Pearl Islands, Sandra got a lot of haters later on (she won twice) but she's a darned good player. And Pearl Islands had the BEST challenges, the pirate-themed ones, like firing muskets and making the loved one walk the plank. That's an outstanding season. And yes, Rupert!

    In the game of life those cowboys are the real winners. So are their parents, wife and girlfriend. They must be so proud.

    Bitter Brandy has done the greatest disservice ever to lesbians worldwide. What a vicious piece of work. If I were a lesbian I'd want to have a blanket party with her and beat the carp out of her. Carol looked so uncomfortable. I hope she dumped the hag and found a nicer partner.

    The "bros" can have their 500 thousand apiece less taxes. The money isn't enough to let them live down their reputation as whiny cry babies. I had a hard time telling which one was the gay one and which one was the straight one.

    I knew Caite and what's his name were out when I saw the editing bringing out their worst side.

    I LOVED how Caite handled Brandy at the end. I think she finally overcame that fateful pageant faux pas with the way the she handled Brandy with utmost pageant cool. LOL

    It was entertaining.:0) I was rooting for the cowboys also. The brothers that won have been on all the talk shows this morning....

  • 16 years ago

    My word of warning to the cheaters who cut in line: KARMA.

  • 16 years ago

    I loved the cowboys too. During the Olympics they were in a commercial for something or other on TV that I had seen so I had hoped they won. They showed class all the way through the show and were a breath of fresh air.

    I think the altercation at the finish line was uncalled for and showed poor sportsmanship. Get over it!

    I missed most parts of the show last night but saw the ending. I will have to find it online and watch it again.

    I love watching The Amazing Race and Phil of course and really miss the show when it is over.

    I wanted the cowboys too. The brothers won only because they jumped to first class and departed the plane very quickly. I am so glad Cait didn't win. Altho I didn't like the one lesbian, Cait I liked even less. Pouty whiny little girl who still IS dumb. She'll never live down that stupid interview. It has so many internet hits. Does anyone know when the next Race will be? I get so addicted to this show.

  • 16 years ago

    Do you understand now why I love cowboys so?
    :)

    I MISSED THE FINALE!

    I'm heading off right now to find a link so I can watch it online.

    And yet another reason to love those cowboys!
    Am I in good company or what?!

    When Caite was running up to the podium thing, the one brother, Jordan, yelled "there's my peach!" and if looks could kill, he'd be dead on the spot- Brandy did NOT like him saying anything nice to Caite, I guess she thought the homosexual brother/sisterhood should override common decency or even friendship. I just can't stand a poor loser like that, if you can't accept an apology, at least don't show what a vicious person you are in the process. Try to show some CLASS!

    Yeah, Lori! Yay for Clay. I want to be on planes with real men and women who can get the job done. I loved that article.

  • 16 years ago

    I wanted the cowboys to win also. I thought it was agaisnt the rules of AR to fly or get bumped up to first class. So, when the brothers did that, I thought good, Phil will tell them that they came in first but are disqualified for going into first class. Didn't happen, and I was disappointed. The cowboys were one of the best teams ever to run the race they kept their cool and never lost their tempers with one another.

  • 16 years ago

    I was very disappointed. The cowboys deserved to win! I agree that the winning brothers should have been disqualified, or had a penalty, for switching to first class. I didn't think that was allowed....

  • 16 years ago

    I didn't think switching to first class was allowed either Wanda. I thought for sure they would get a penalty.

  • 16 years ago

    Unfortunately there is nothing in the rules that says you can't ask to sit in first class once on the plane. They only say you can't buy a first class ticket or ask to be upgraded. They asked to be moved after the plane was airborn. That isn't considered an upgrade at that point.

  • 16 years ago

    I'm another one who wanted the cowboys to win. I agree with all above posts about the whiny brothers and the other couple.

  • 16 years ago

    I don't think it was the cutting in line that brought the cowboys down. It was that thing at Lucas films. The one brother was in his way, he couldn't step forward to get to the end. If it had been any other team, they would have probably shoved by the one brother. I also can't believe that the cowboys didn't catch on to the turning around to read the clue. After all, there were there for several minutes watchin gth eone brother whining about turning in circles... you think my cowboys would have figured that out earlier.

    Those women from California, I hope they watched the show and saw how really ugly they are. I wish my cowboys had won! Aren't they cute? lol

  • 16 years ago

    I wonder if there is an AR rule that contestants can't touch one another. This is the only reason I can figure the cowboys didn't step in front of the brothers at the airport?
    At Lucas Studios I would have picked up the bro, stepped around him then put him down in the same place.
    LOL

    You'll see more of Cord and Jet.
    At least I hope so.
    They'd be good in commercials or sitcoms.

    Lori

  • 16 years ago

    Oh, a cowboy sitcom would be great, Lori! I agree, it must be a rule, you never see them touching each other on the other teams except for a high-five or fist-bump.

    Bro. If I never hear that term again, it'll be too soon, I HATE IT! Gah, use his name, the one your mother gave him!

  • 16 years ago

    LOL

  • 16 years ago

    Was it just last season on Amazing Race when someone from one team bumped into someone on another team during one of the "tasks" and there was a big brouhaha over it? It could very well be that because of the former incident there's now a no-touch rule.

    And you can add me (and Hubs) to the list of folks who were sooo hoping that the cowboys would win; and who are sooo disappointed that it was the brothers. Also put us on the list of folks who are totally and completely disgusted with Brandy.

  • 16 years ago

    I just wonder if there was more of the sniping and other confrontations between Brandy and Caite that weren't included in the show? Besides, Caite was always calling them "the stupid lesbians",or "I hate the lesbians" or saying childish and silly things about the two.

    And I thought perhaps that exchange at the final pit stop may have been rehearsed, added by the directors for show.

  • 16 years ago

    I agree. That's why I couldn't stand Cait. Always used terms like that..NEVER called them by name ..always the lesbian, the stupid lesbians. If she wanted to see stupid, she should look in the mirror.."The people of Iraq and such as........!!"
