and another fact...someone on TWOP that has a CBS connection says that the Early Show interview will be the ONLY interview the BQ's do (they won't do satellite interviews with stations and such) because of a, and I quote, "personal conflict"....and they were told this earlier in the week no matter which team had been eliminated that that would be the case. So something is really suspicious in that, huh?

I hope that they don't favor the fastest runners to determine the overall winner of the Race. I'd like, for once, to have brains be the biggest factor in the race to the end. Having said that, I still can't stand the Moms.

Hmmm, I've realized that the CBS reality shows have all seemed to come up with this "all-star" nonsense right after they've picked a favorite, edited them as golden, and that person/team has lost. Survivor and Rupert, BB and Janelle, and now it seems TAR and the BQ's. If that is in fact the case, I hope the BQ's go the way of the other so called favorites ... and watch them come up with a way to get them money anyway ...

I hope Kim realizes what will happen whenever Rob is stressed and really think about that before they get married...or maybe they'll get some counseling. They are in for a tough time, marriage is about the toughest thing in the world anyway. She has her moments too, but they seem to come in direct response to his extreme reactions. There is no way I would have tried to help a strange man talking a foreign language running all over yelling and flinging his arms out. Compare that to the BQs asking politely for help and smiling and always saying thanks. Big difference. It is so interesting that we have very different opinions on some of the racers. Makes this board fun to read. Wow, allstars. I had no idea until today. It may not be the best season of TAR but I will watch.

Do y'all think next Sunday really is the finale? I know they said that on last night's show, but it is only scheduled for one hour. Season finale is usually two hours? Wilson? Wilson always knows these things.

I love all the different opinions and points of view. I am bummed the BQ's were eliminated but they lost fair and square and not due to the 30 minute penalty (makes me feel better). I do dislike the practice of taking along a local as a guide. This should be changed. I hate the "bunching" up of teams on flights. No one really ever gets a time advantage because they're always on the same flights. Happymom...I totally agree about Rob. He has anger management issues. While I agree they are under stress during this race, real stress is paying bills, taking care of sick kids and trying to make a marriage work. If I were Kim, I'd think twice. I don't buy his crocodile tears. I like the models and hope they win. Bama is my most disliked team, EVER, on TAR although Lyn not half as much as Karlyn.

I loved last night's show!! Loved that the blondes got booted, loved the tomato fights and the giants. I am so glad that the lynn's made it to the final three. I know the one is mean but they really impressed me. It doesn't matter who wins to me but I'm leaning toward the model guys because they are nice to the other teams. I agree that the teams should not be able to have locals in the vehicles with them or be able to follow the locals.

Oh goody............no more of those blondes dissing the "sistas".........mighty glad they are gone. The little lady from "Bama " is most unpleasant, she owes a big apology to her team mate. "Hate" is a pretty strong word imho.

I have seen a LOT more of the "sistas" bashing the blondes than the other way around...if you want a team that whines, always has nasty comments and expressions, yep pick the Bama team!

You guys didn't warn me that I needed a hankie at the end of the show. Listening to Rob made me cry. I don't understand people saying Rob needs anger management. In my opinion, he has never acted out of control and, certainly, he has never acted violent.

The thing about Rob and Kim, if I'm being fair -- they do get hyped up when they're under pressure, BUT they seem to get over their drama when they're away from it, and support each other. To me, that heat of the moment hype can be worked on. A lot of (mostly her) comments do bug, but I think they seem to have a solid relationship if they can get past the heat of the moment stuff. I've even been known to snipe at my partner from time to time, and we have a pretty calm, balanced relationship, I think.

I used the word "hate" in regards to a situation and not a person. It may be a strong word but that's how I meant it.

I am so happy to see the BQ's out of the race because their attitudes and superiority complex irritated me each week to no end. Extremely poor choice of females to represent BQ's. In addition i found their use and pronunciation of the word "sistahs" to be derogatory and insulting, basically borderline racist. I also agreed that Karlynn was so out of order with her negative attitudes and argumentative nature that Lynn needs to be appreciated for her restraint and maturity dealing with her. Makes me wonder if they will be friends after this show... I know i would have to reevaluate it... Having said that i'm still rooting for them to win because i think out of all the finalists, they probably need the money most to change the lives of so many. Rob needs some serious counseling services because he does have some deep seated anger mgmt issues, mistreatment and disrespect of females. I hope his fiance has time to reevaluate their relationship as well before committing a marriage ceremony... Too many red flags there!

I think we will always have the bunching up because there have been a few seasons where the front of the pack got so far ahead of the back of the pack. It is also about the only way they can level the playing field for out of shape teams and dumb as stick teams to be able to compete against athletic teams and travel savvy teams.

Wow, Carlito, I was totally with you until you got to Rob. I guess I'm crazy because I think that Rob is emotional and sometimes over-dramatic - so is Kim, but from what I've seen in the game he seems like a very sensitive and sweet person. I don't understand where you are getting that he mistreats and disrespects females.

I don't think Rob disrespects/mistreats females any more than Kim disrespects/mistreats males. I don't like the way they interact with each other under stress, but I haven't seen across the board disrespect from either of them to the opposite sex. I would call them both very high strung....LOL

I'd like to see the models win. They haven't been the brightest bulbs in the pack, but they seem to know their limitations and have shown that they've learned while doing this race. I liked their strategy of sticking behind the BQ's, cause they knew that as long as they came in within 30 minutes of them, they were final three. I have a lot of respect for these 2 boys. They've basically been pleasant throughout the race, have supported each other, and I admire the fact that they are open about their past and they have apparently made a huge change in their lives. I'm very impressed with them.

I don't see Rob as mistreating females either. He gets worked up and screams and has hissy fits, but I don't recall him saying degrading things to her. He's no Jonathan, that's for sure. I'm starting to feel bad for the one Bama mom -- her friend is just awful. I still don't like the team and will not be happy if they win after all the negative attitude. Won't be the first time I'm unhappy with the outcome though. I'm hoping for the model boys. They're cute and have been fair to all. I'm just worried they'll get lost again. I've come to accept the equalizing moments (plane flights, places being closed) as an important part of the game. It means that teams who often come in first can't rest on that advantage. Each leg of the race they have to be in top form

I think that Rob and Kim have had the worst position in this game of any of the other teams. Rob and Kim were trying to form alliances at the start of the game. The models are the only ones that have kindof sortof helped them, but only when they didn't have to go out of their way to do it. Every time they tried to team of with the BQs they got screwed. The six-pack assumed that Rob and Kim were with the others and wouldn't even give them the time of day. So, to that feeling of aloneness in the game, add in that just about every freaking car they step into breaks down on them. Rob and Kim are beyond stressed out and I think it's remarkable that they have hung in there this long without going totally crazy. They gripe, they raise their voices, wave their hands in the air and sometimes even yell at each other for a few minutes, they get it out of their system and they sincerely apologize and go on. Neither one of them need anger management, they just need for this stupid race to be over and done.

the finale is only one hour next week (which is actually kind of good....because you know that a 2-hour finale's first hour is meaningless...)..streamlines that final leg.
