And this article also (in a caption) tells that there were THREE who were graduates of Fountain Valley HS, Nate, TK and Rachel. (Kennedy had asked Kynt and Vyxsin how they felt about so many others going to HS together)

OMG! I was SOOOO HAPPY to see <Jennifer> have a crappy birthday. I said this to konashark afterwards "I'm happy with whomever wins" (but secretly I'm pushing for TK & Rachel - always loved teams that stay calm and enjoy the experience). After our recent traveling back East for the holidays, we both agreed that if we got on the show, we'd kill eachother (it would be worse than Flo/Jen and Victoria & Jonathon put together).

darn Sea, that woulda rocked well, next time. from looks of that pic Jen and Nate are still together. I have even thought what if TK/Rachel had moments like Jen and visa versa and we saw was all the good of one and all the bad of another. thats why it would be great to see a reunion of this show...cbs treats this like a step child and it wins the most awards!

Well, Rachel had a few whiny moments of her own when they were looking for the roof garden thing, but TK just kept cool and on task -

How's the rating for this installment? Better or worse than the All-Star? Probably not better.... If we are in the mood to predict, I say both TK & R team and R & C team have better chance than Don & Nick. Don can not do foot race. But I'm just like many here, a win by any of the remaining three teams would be fine with me!

That was the great thing about TK and Rachel. When one was discouraged and negative, the other one always seemed to step up, remain calm, and keep them on track. With Jen and Nate, if one went negative, they both did.

If it comes down to a footrace, Nick needs to throw those backpacks aside and piggyback Don!

LOL.. and TK could piggyback Rachel, but not possible for R/C team.. I think they all jettison the backpacks for the final run! I can remember one season where a team literally dumped quite a few items at an airport, mid-race.

Wasn't that Uchenna and Joyce -- I seem to remember them MAILING their stuff home from one of the airports so they didn't have to carry it.

A team did mail stuff.. maybe them.. thought it was another team, but Uchenna and Joyce definitely left stuff on a bench and got smaller packs so they could go lean and mean.

Rob & Amber decided before the race that to put & retrieve backpacks from taxis wasted time. Instead he had one small day pack & she had nothing.

I would imagine that over the whole race, many minutes could be spent waiting for the cabbie to pop or open the trunk.

Just like many minutes are now wasted at baggage claim in airports! I NEVER checked baggage until the new liquids/gels regulation went into place! Back on topic - Whether or not you like Rob, he ALWAYS had his head in the game!

I'll have to admit that some of those backpacks look like they could carry everything but the kitchen sink. Bet the Goths'make up alone took up one of them. LOL

Remember when Colin and Christie and the other team in that race decided to check their bags so they would not have to deal with them and then found out Kim and Chip got a better flight at from the stop they all made and Colin and Christie and the other team could not change their flight since their "luggage" was on another flight. You have to stay with your luggage and be on the same plane. New rule since 911 and that is what cost them the race....haha It was only a 15-20 minute difference but enough of a difference

Some of the packs are huge. There was a picture somewhere of Jen taken from the back and hers was so deep! Looked like it would pull her right over.

One thing I will give Jen credit for. She was tough physically. She never wavered at the physical tasks. She just flew over those rocks. If she had been as mentally tough, they probably would have won the thing.

True. They did have their interview with Kennedy, nothing very illuminating. They tried to say something about editing and she didn't really let them get away with it.. she let them know that Kynt and Vyxsin and TK and Rachel had been her favs but did say it was good to meet them and see them as a normal couple.. in this interview they again said, but perhaps more surely, that it was definitely the choice of transportation that lost them the race. They were not THAT far behind and lost more than that getting to the pit stop.

Yeah, just one hour, I hadn't noticed that. We usually get a double.

I don't think they have had a two hour final for several seasons now?

TAR is CBS's evil stepchild, thats the way CBS treats TAR. no reunions/no early show and TAR wins emmys!!! I think CBS is horrible for shunning this show

Well to be fair, when it was 2-hour, the first hour was almost always non-elim IIRC (I think one finale had 4 to start, then an elim, then the final leg) It's going to be interesting to see what happens- the promos are advertising a "photo finish" (TAR 2 has had the closest finish, with the winners passing the 2nd place team literally in the last 30 seconds)
