Oh, it'll still be fun and good, sushipup! Dave finally gets told to shut up by his wife and the other Rachel hates Brendon. Again. lol Then I'm sure she'll cry and whine.

I'm looking forward to it, I hope our storms blow on by before it's time for it to start.

Too many finales so close together. First Biggest Loser last Tuesday. Tonight AR. Then next Sunday Survivor.

It should be interesting. I read on Flipboard that the first team to come in does not win because they skipped a part of a challenge. I don't care who wins, now that the KY guys are gone.

watching right now...yes rach is whining!

Thanks for the spoiler. ugh. Just now watched it.

Watched the last of the finale tonight what a crazy show.

WOO-HOO! What a great finish, I was clapping for the winners as they ran to the pit stop!

I found it a bit boring. No one was close to them. Neck and neck is more fun!

Disappointed in the winners. Potty mouth wins.

On the finale of Biggest Loser, the 3 finalists were all ones I didn't want to see win. It was the same for me last night with the AR.

I liked it better when the final challenge was a puzzle requiring them to remember the trip events. It was a snooze last night and of course the couple not liked won. Well, not my choice.

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

I feel withdrawal when this show ends. Any idea when the next one starts? I was okay with who won. By far the most deserving since they were clearly the best players. I cheered so loud when the Border guys with all the macho behavior were bested by a GIRL!! I loved it when Rachael did the sled thing on the second try. The Border guys were the ones I wanted to lose as well as Vanessa. Those two have five marriages between them and I hardly think this one will last. As for Rachael and Brenden, despite her whining , I still kinda like her. He treats her way better than any of the other men. Even having to repeat a challenge R&D proved they deserved the win.

The blonde that won, she is ATHLETIC! She was awesome. Their relationship?... well, I hope it gets better.
The redhead Rachel, wow, whining and a cryer. But Vanessa
was just flat out MEAN. She was MEAN... didn't like her.
I got used to Rachel. her boyfriend is soooo patient!
I DID like the border agents in the beginning, but that didn't last too long. I was sure rooting for the Kentucky guys. I guess the best ones won.

After the KY guys left I lost interest, didn't have a favorite anymore. Even though Rachel is a whiner, it didn't bother me, guess I became immune to it when watching Big Brother. Brendan is very patient.

My least favorite was team Vanessa. I hope after she watches herself, she sees how disgusting her behaviour was. Not sure that relationship will last.

I was not happy with who won. I hated how he treated her during challenges. One reason why they wanted to come on the show was to work through issues. Didn't look as though they accomplished that.

I agree that Rachel and Dave who I think deserved to win because they won most legs, have issues with their marriage . I hope it works out but he is so controlling. She is a superb athlete. Vanessa was a bit*h, mean and nasty. Rachel IS a whiner and I got used to her on BB. I like Brenden and think they actually will make it. They met on BB and that was a while ago. The border guys>>I hope they see how obnoxious they were, and I still would rub it in their face they were beaten by a woman. I was hoping Redhair Rachel would beat them too. Almost. Don't these people know this will all air sometime? It would have been nice if Kentucky would have won since they needed it the most. I liked them a lot.

They were my first choice to win, since they are from Madison. I found out from the article I'm attaching that Dave is an assistant professor of military science at UW-Madison, and Rachel works at Epic which is a huge electronic medical record company. Some of DD's friends from college work there also. Wonder if they know her. She is also a UW-Madison alum. Way to go Badgers!! I really wanted Kentucky to win, but this is almost as good.
