OH WOW !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope y'all watched. Phil and Bonnie are funny together. Didn't know Phil could be that humorous. AND . . . . Bonnie is offering stuff on eBay for cancer charity (Northwestern cancer center in Chicago). One of the items now is the TAR pit stop mat signed by Phil. I think he said same mat has been used from the beginning.

Wow, that is cool. But it makes me wonder, if they're selling off the mat that's been used for all the pitstops, through all 14 seasons... does that mean the race beginning in February is the last one?

Brenda.. I just looked and there doesn't seem to be one yet but I see youtubes of Bonnie and each other pair (or most) and with Phil earlier in the year so I'm sure it will be up sooner or later. I put my report in the finale thread..

Phil said the mat has been in about 100 countries, so I took it to mean it was the mat used from the beginning.

So selling it off - even for a VERY GOOD cause! - is not a good sign? Say it isn't so!

I don't think they've had a say yes or no on seasons after the one that will start in the New Year. I'm sure selling the mat is unconnected to the future of the show - the mat's probably just got a bit tatty.

Without giving too much away there is a possibility that Starr/Dallas may become a team for the next AR.

I can see a Starr/Dallas pair-up making me like each of them less not more! Is the next AR meant to be all-stars?

ha! there's a reason why you and i host shows -- said Phil .... at one point he threw himself on the floor and Reggis threw a glass of water on him .... Julie was better at this.

I enjoyed watching this. Poor Phil had the words on the tip of his tongue a few times and couldn't quite find them. I felt bad for him at the end--so close! That 18 year old was good! Julie Chen was awesome.

Poor Phil is right! I felt terrible for him. The agony was all over his face. This was the first time I've seen him other than waiting for people at the mat. I hope he never does this to himself again. He's very handsome!

Poor man! He flusters a lot more easily than I anticipated. That 18 year old kid from our state, though - WOW! He was fantastic! Imagine him with a partner like Betty White or Rosie O'Donnell! He'd have won at least 250K!

yeah, that college boy was good. i wonder why he picked Phil to go the final round. unless Julie couldn't take it any more or wanted to give phil a chance to shine. not to give him any excuses, but how long has Phil been absorbing the American culture? some of the clues people gave in the show were only most familiar to Americans. i know I'm still feeling some of his kind of "pain" derived from every day culture differences. Julie is from the same island I'm from, but she's been here a lot longer than Phil has, and she'd made it her business to know all things American ...

Chy, my understanding is that the contestant doesn't get to choose who they go to the final round with (based on a comment by the host), it's determined by how many points they got with each celebrity. Since the college kid didn't even have to play his last round with Julie he ended up with Phil. I think it's kind of unfair in that regard. If he would have played that last round with Julie, he probably would have had more points with her.

thx for that, Brenda. that was the 1st time I'd ever watched it, on Karuuna's tips ... but i thought i heard Reggis said something like, we'll be back to see which one the boy decides to play with ..... ?? BTW, sorry 'bout caps' in and out, I'm typing with one hand here. 4 more weeks ....

Chy - yeah, Reg says "we'll find out" - but it's not the contestant's decision unless they've earned an equal number of points w/both celebrities. He'd earned more with Phil, so we already knew before the break who he'd be playing with. I personally think it's Regis's own little "hangover" from "Millionare" days when we had to come back from commercial to see if the contestant was going on!

I've been watching way too many commercials this holiday season and I keep seeing one of the male models who won The Amazing Race a couple of years ago on a shaving commercial (at home with parents - no TIVO). Wonder if the commercial was before or after the Race? (Tyler and James.)
