Sadly Folks, the season and this race is ending. Three equally matched teams, though, it should be a humdinger. Finale The Amazing Race Go Out And Get It Done (Atlanta, Georgia)

The loss of the boys last week sort of took the wind out of my looking-forward-to-tonight's-show feeling.

I loved the "boys" and wished they had gone further! However, as I just wrote over in a "Survivor" thread, this has been a very pleasant season to watch w/o the huge dramas and conflicts we have seen in the past.

I agree. It is so much more pleasant to watch teams that work well together and embrace the experience. Hence, the TAR-Australia show was such a delight. They were all winners! Personally, I'm rooting for Amani and Marcus.

The game they're showing here in north Texas is the Green Bay-Oakland game...They've still got nearly the entire 4th quarter to play. It's looking here like it might be close to an hour late getting started.

I have a fun little challenge to all my fellow TAR fans.... How many times will we hear a voice-over of Cindy saying, "we have to beat them." I noticed a long time ago (as in many seasons ago) that the producers use one-liners like that as voice-overs as they show the teams rushing here and there for cabs and stuff. I can't remember if the line by Cindy starts off with "come on" or "hurry" or something similar. But the line ends up with the "we have to beat them." I heard it at least 3 times last episode.

Coming in a few minutes late.... They're headed to Atlanta, going to the Atlanta Learning Center. Jeremy and Sandy first to arrive, doing Lear Jet simulations. They have to land a simulated jet from an altitude of 20K feet. Imani and Marcus in 2nd place. Ernie and Cindy had a hard time finding a cab that knew where to take them, they are in last place. Cindy tells Ernie, "Get it right the first time!" Ernie is losing control of the plane because of a Cindy screw up. "My bad!" Marcus drives the plane off the runway; Jeremy and Sandy succeed on the first try, and now head to The Dump, Margaret Mitchell's former home. They try to get the cabbie to take them to an intersection where they can ask somebody. Marcus requests permission to taxi or something, but he's not landed, so they have to do it again. Cindy and Ernie are done with the plane simulation, Marcus and Imani are still at it. Marcus says "third time's the charm." But it's not. He screwed up again, and we go to commercial with his head in his hands.

Marcus taking another shot at it. And nope. Again. "Doggit," quoth he. Jeremy and Sandy still have no idea what The Dump is, but they find someone who tells them it's near Buckhead. Ernie and Cindy find out by using the phone; Ernie says that if they lose it will be SUCH a disappointment. It would be different if it was the boys. Cindy says, or the C students. Sandy says she is gonna need a Prilosec (sp)--Jeremy says that if they win, she'll be able to have all the Prilosec she wants. Marcus messes up again. There's The Dump, by the Home Depot. Loaded with ugly sofas. Seems they are in the wrong place. Cindy and Ernie are at The Dump. They have to type out their next clue with a Remington Three typewriter, which is missing a "1" key. When it's done correctly, they will be done. Cindy volunteers that she can type about 10 times faster than Ernie, so she should have done this one. Ernie really does seem like a subpar typist. Poor Sandy and Jeremy are wandering around ugly furniture. Marcus and Imani are still in the plane simulator, and Marcus screws up again. Ernie is doing a not-great job typing and Cindy thinks she probably should have done this one. Sandy and Jeremy ask someone for a smart phone and they find out it's the former Margaret Mitchell residence. Their cabbie knows where it is. They start on their way with Sandy saying "shoot shoot shoot."

It's not an especially fascinating episode for the finale IMO. Kinda somnambulistic.

Cindy is nearly in tears outside Margaret Mitchell's house as Ernie hunts and pecks his way through it. Sandy, in the car, encourages jeremy not to give up. Ernie figures it out, and now they have to figure out that 44-715-74 commemorates Hank Aaron's history-breaking home run achievement. Sandy and Jeremy are finally there. Sandy sits down, sad that it's not a Mac. Cindy and Ernie go to a hotel, I think, and use a computer to find out what the clue might mean. Sandy's trying to figure out what she's supposed to use instead of the "1" key; Ernie figured out pretty quickly that it was the "l" I think. Marcus and Imani finally finish the flight simulator, and Marcus gives us another football metaphor. And Imani returns the favor, saying that if she'd been the QB, he'd have been her target. Cindy and Ernie realize that it's about Hank Aaron, so they are headed to Turner Field. Jeremy and Sandy are still at Margaret Mitchell's house, but Sandy has now completed the task. They're going to Google the info. Cindy and Ernie are at a massive map challenge; they have to map out their race around the world by climbing all over it. Cindy is doing it. She has to use a cord through hooks attached to where the countries are. Marcus and Imani at Margaret Mitchell's house. Sandy and Jeremy going to the 715 club. Cindy struggling to navigate on the giant map. And Cindy succeeds on her first try! Now she has to race to the Swan House, which is the finish line. Cindy is very excited. Jeremy and Sandy arrive at the giant map. Cindy and Ernie in the cab, with the pretense that they've made a mistake with the GPS. Jeremy misses Indonesia on his map, but doesn't know it yet. Cindy and Ernie stuck in traffic. Jeremy discovers he missed Indonesia....and they are done. On to Swan House. Cindy and Ernie having "problems" with their GPS recalculating....

Ernie and Cindy approaching Swan House....but they are tying to drag this out so we think it's really close. Sandy and Jeremy approaching. We see the facade of Swan House. And Cindy and Ernie win The Amazing Race. She's really excited, everyone gives polite applause. Cindy says she wants to create an organization that multiplies the million and help those in need and contribute to the global economy. Is she talking about micro-loans? Who knows? Cindy says her parents expect her to be perfect, the smartest, brightest, etc. Ernie is proud of Cindy. Cindy is proud of Ernie. They declare it the best pre-marital counseling imaginable. And here come Sandy and Jeremy. They feel like they gave it everything they had, it was a whirlwind. Sandy says this race has "done a lot for Jeremy and I"--gah!--and Jeremy says it's created a bond. Finally, Marcus and Imani, who will no doubt regale us with football metaphors. Too bad they came in third; they were my favorites. Imani says she never saw Marcus punch anything before, so she knew he was at the end of his rope during the flight simulator thing. Marcus says Imani is smarter than any QB he's ever played with and tougher than any linebacker. Now a series of Hallmark sentiments. And it's done.
