Well if we are stuck with them again I hope they go down in FLAMES this time. Hope Rob wins over all the locals with his charm.

LOL Ladybug!! Could be.

Has TAR always finished with a one-hour show? Hasn't it been a one-hour show followed by the one-hour finale? It's going to end so fast in one hour this evening.

I cannot imagine that they go to France, do tasks, travel, get to the US and do tasks and finish all in one hour.. but if so, it will be jam-packed!

ACK!

I don't think the following is technically a spoiler, as it was in one of the tv spots advertising tonight's finale, but just in case:

They showed the three teams running, separately, to the finish line. Both the models and Kim and <Rob> were all smiles, but Karlynn looked miserable. I'm guessing the Lynns do not come first. In fact from the intensity of the smiles I'll go with Kim and <Rob>.

Team alabama annoys me with all the talk about the sacrifices they made to get there! Who heck hasn't made sacrifices in LIFE!

Quite the uneventful conclusion for me, I could have cared less for any of the three finalists since the Cho's were out.Next episode please.

I wish they would stop casting Alpha-Male white guy teams. They so often win. The best seasons are when there aren't two athletic white guys to outrun everyone else.

But you gotta admit, these two athletic white guys were pretty nice and good competitors....right? I liked them and am happy that they won. They deserved it.

I am with you, Auntiemike! If my BQ's couldn't win, then these guys were my second choice -

They were nice, yes. They behaved well, too. That wasn't really my point. The point is that the athletic white-guy teams have won 40% of the time. It really takes the suspense out of the show.

What is funny is that a lot of people think that the guy teams win mostly because of their athleticism.

I think they win more because they perform well in all the tasks. There are many times that the guy teams have finished ahead or in the lead and the tasks have had nothing to do with physical ability.

The other thing that the guy teams do is that the guys are almost always supportive and helpful to each other. There is very little conflict and no distraction so they stay focused on winning.

Well, it's no less odd to assume they win for their athleticism than to assume they win because they get along better than other teams. Are you saying having a woman in the team invites discord?

I don't buy it. I think there's a pretty even split on this show between the abrasive men (Ian) and the abrasive women (Flo--who won.)

I thought it was very telling that all we saw of Karlyn was how the race was all about her and her goals...she didn't acknowledge her partner or the help and friendships that she formed with the other teams. Of course, I do realize that there is that four (plus) letter word...EDITing.

Just my opinion, but Tyler and what's his name were the only people who DESERVED to win the race...Rob and Kim followed everybody else, Karlyn and Lyn would have been long gone if it wasn't for the six pack (well, maybe not -- they seemed to get better once they were on their own but we'll never know). Although they were directionally challenged at times the model boys didn't spend a whole lot of time being followers in the race.

No .... I'm saying that feeling strong emotions about your partner in the race promotes discord. The two guys are less inclined to feel and show those strong emotions for each other (although they may be good friends), so they tend not to get as stressed with each other.

Ehhh... I'm still not with ya. Just as many romantic couples have won the Amazing Race as white-male, athletic teams. (One of them fit both descriptions.)

A lot of the two-female couples haven't had much strife either, the BQs were a good example of that. It's the "relationship" part of a couple, not the sex that causes problems I think. If they're dating or close enough to be like family then things can get tense at times.

Bastable.... so now your saying that just as many romantic couples have won as compared to the white-male athletic teams. It seems to me that they either equally have a chance as any other sterotypical determined team or they don't. You seem to think they have an advantage somehow and so it's not suspensful having that type of team on the show? Just curious, if there were no white-male athletic teams would you be more excited to watch?

EXCEPT, Luvscoutii, that there have been a LOT more romantic couples playing the race than athletic white male teams, wouldn't you say?

We get maybe one white-male athletic team per race, yet we also get several couples. Yet the white males have won as often as couples. That's what you call much better odds.

And yes, I would be more excited to watch if there were no alpha-male teams. The did it once (was it after Chip and Reichen?), and I really dug it.

The hippies were definitely NOT what you would call an atheletic alpha male team but they won.

No, no, no. The winners are determined by the taxi drivers. Haven't you been watching?

Apparently Lyn's home was pillaged while she was racing. She's staying with relatives until her place is livable. I saw this over at sucks.
