It no longer matters to me who wins. I've tried to think: as long as Art/JJ don't win... then it switches to as long as BB doesn't win... then it switches to as long as Vanessa doesn't win... then Rachel and Dave... It just plain doesn't matter anymore.

Of course I'll watch, no matter what kind of train wrecks they give us on TAR and Survivor, I still watch. This time around, I just don't care who wins either show.

Rachel and Dave make me cringe by the way they speak to each other.

For a married couple, they really don't seem to get each other. I can understand his not wanting a cheerleader and the constant encouragement, but as his wife don't you think she'd know that? They seem to be very, very short tempered and almost constantly irritated with each other. More like siblings than spouses.

For some reason I thought that they had been married several years but he had been deployed for a lot of the time.

Strange that they are having a four team two hour final?

I just checked the cast bio on CBS but it doesn't say how long Davechel have been married.

Here's a link.

My understanding is that they've been apart a lot due to his service. That has to be very hard on a marriage, and especially a new one.

Yes, military service breaks up a lot of marriages! Partners grow in different directions due to very different experiences -

I didn't see this week I had such hopes for Mark and Bopper, I would like to see them go in to the Big Brother house.

I hope Rachel & Brendon don't win this too. If they do it fix in their favor to win.

It's a race...they've run a strong race...like them or not, they have....and if they win it's because of it.

I agree. There have been other "famous" contestants on TAR that haven't done nearly as well.

Brendon & Rachel have been in the top five all legs but one where they came in 6th. They have a great chance to win just like the others who have been playing a strong game.

The only "fix" is that they were known from BB and got ON the race. I've seen no favortism at all that would taint a win by them or any other team that is left in the race. I'd rather they not win but have no complaints of any unfairness if they do.

Yeah, I don't like them either, but really I don't like anyone left very much. So it doesn't really matter who wins at this point. Probably better for my blood pressure while watching the finale!

The other thing is that not only have Brendon and Rachel run a good race but they have had to do so without any help from other teams, which happens usually early in the race...as a matter of fact they have been targeted by other teams since the beginning. Notwithstanding the fact that they can be obnoxious I doubt many teams would have felt comfortable with the level of venom that was aimed at them by Vanessa and, to a certain extent, Rachel and Dave and Art and JJ. I give them credit for making it this far.

(I'm not saying that other teams SHOULD have helped them, but usually earlier in the race teams kind of join up and work together based on where they are in the race...Rachel and Brendon have only ever had any alliances with people who were traditionally in the bottom half of the running order and have managed to keep going nonetheless...I would even say that there were some teams who were trying to deliberately mess them up and keep them from getting any further.)

Roxip, so very true. Had Mopper not helped Rachel count the cattle when they were in South America, they could have very well been eliminated in that leg.

Roxip, Rachel had help from Bopper during the cattle counting challenge.

So far in every interview I've seen with the racers, they've only had good things to say about Rachel. Even JJ said in a confessional last week that she is a very nice lady.

Yes, Brenchel has run a good race, but YES, they have had help. If they win, I'm sure they will deserve it. I can't think of any team left who rode coattails. They all are strong teams. I think it really is anyone's game at this point.
