i'm sure i will be in a very low minority here, but i want JAIME & CARA for the win!!! Cara seems real sweet and for me Jaime isnt as bad as she's made out to be. she is obviously competitive and sometimes that gets the better of her. i just wish she would realize the whole world doesnt speak english but i have seen much worse attitudes from past racers. second place i would like to be Margie and Luke. i have been impressed with Margies racing ability all season. 3rd place victor and tammy even though if you made me put money on it, i would pick them to win.

Tammy and Victor.. I picked them awhile back on Wilson's game, so of course I want them to win.. and luckily I like them best and WANT them to do well. Second place.. toss up.. I guess I'd put Jaime/Cara second because of Cara.. Third place.. don't care for Margie or Luke much. But all three teams have done well and worked hard and deserve to be in F3.

I am rallying behind Tammy & Victor. I think Victor has grown as a person you could see how he now listens to his sister. He still needs better attention skills. I can't believe he looked right at a troll and missed it. Glad he made up for it at the other store.

I'd like to see Jaime/Cara cuz I'd love for an all female team to win for a change. I'd like to see Luke/Margie cuz I think it's awesome that they've gotten this far (with his hearing issue and her age). Realistically, I'd be surprised if Tammy/Victor didn't win, though. And they'd deserve it. They learned a lesson when they had the problem with Victor not listening to his younger sister. Truly, I don't care who wins, as I like all three teams for different reasons.

I guess I'll pick Tammy and Victor because I dislike them the least. I guess I do like Tammy. I hope Luke and Margie come in 3rd.

I'm for Tammy and Victor. He seems to have matured or at least have more faith in his little sister, I like them a lot. Very mildly, I don't care much for the other teams. For sure, not a favorite season of mine.

I'm for Tammy and Victor. They've both definitely grown and he finally has a sense of her abilities. Like, at the Chinese restaurant lastnight, when Victor said to her "This time YOU do the talking." 2nd Place to Cara (lose Jaime in the taxi trunk). Very DEFINITELY, I don't care for the other team. I think Luke has been given passes (because of his disability) for assaulting other players. This week's "mishap/accidental" with Luke almost running over L/J with his electric bike appeared more innocent, but it's odd how his mishaps only seem to happen towards L/J. Personally, speaking as a hearing impaired person, I think Luke and Margie have appeared as sour representatives for the deaf community.

I want a Tammy/Victor win but would be almost as happy with a Margie/Luke win. My problem with Jamie and Cara is Jamie's attitude with people who do not speak English and her treatment of the local people in general. I just cannot get past it.

I don't really want Tammy and Victor to win because I think there would be NO WAY they would have been in the finale if they had not had three legs of the race in a country where they spoke the language and the others did not. You can see how much more relaxed they are than the others the entire time they were in China.

I hope Tammy and Victor win. I think they ran an good race even before they hit China and it isn't their fault that that's where the race went. I do hope Marge and Luke get stuck on a barge in the Hudson River and don't even make it to the final. If they do win, I hope Luke uses the money to get away from Mommy Dearest.

I think Tammy and Victor finally hit their stride and perfected their relationship in this race and could easily be the winners. They have learned, worked well, been respectful and met the challenges. I don't think their knowing the language gave them an advantage....I think getting along with people who are of different cultures and with different languages depends more upon your personality. I always remember Danny Kaye being able to relate to anyone, through smiles, pantomime, etc. to communicate.... Jamie and Cara are just "ugly Americans" in my book. I'd love to see them get 3rd. I am also not a fan of Luke and Margie and hope they don't win. They both have a lot more to learn, in my opinion.

Tammy & Victor for the win, I like their attitudes and have enjoyed watching their relationship evolve. I hope the other teams are HOURS behind them, then I guess I pick Marge & Luke for 2nd ~ I think she has done a great job keeping up with the younger folks but their continued "battle" with the sisters annoys me. Jamie & Cara for a very distant 3rd. Jamie goes on AR, where she KNOWS she will be in other countries where they don't speak English and KNOWS she will be trying to communicate under stressful situations but she continues to be so rude ~ it's embarassing and uncalled for so I will not give her any slack for it.

Too bad they can't switch partners at this point. Tammy and Cara have been likable the entire race. Victor, Margie and Luke have all had their down sides but they seem like good people overall. Now for Jamie.....Uggh...no comment...or is Uggh a comment?

LOL.. If they get stuck in the Hudson that will be quite a feat in Maui.. I don't think T/V were very relaxed at the swimming venue and I'm SURE Victor wasn't real relaxed with cramps in both legs.

While I certainly don't find Jaime likeable, all three teams have worked hard to get to the finals, so I am okay with any of them winning -

I'm surprised with so much angst toward Margie and Luke. I must have missed something, anyone care to quickly fill me in?

Txhazeleyes - Sorry, you might wish to read up-thread (I believe there's only 16 comments here until this). Or try reading the weekly episode posts where the discussions have been going on most of the season. There has been a LOT of back and forth.

"Jamie and Cara are just "ugly Americans" in my book. I'd love to see them get 3rd." My sentiments exactly!

Txhazeleyes, I apologize for being unhelpful when you asked: "I'm surprised with so much angst toward Margie and Luke. I must have missed something, anyone care to quickly fill me in?" I think Luke & Margie have been more & more controversial in discussions each episode. I think MANY people were rooting for them initially. Then L/M appeared to become more aggressive, with many cries and drama. A couple of people, I believe, stopped even posting because there was criticism of Luke. Yes, they've worked hard. I think that 45 minute meltdown at the mat over L/J supposedly 'mocking' Luke lost some supporters. Especially after he elbowed L/J in the face and later ran her over, knocking her into the cluebox. Some posters thought Margie was a 'helicopter Mom' (always hovering). Not sure if this helps, just kind of my perceptions of the discussions. Others may see it differently. Note, I'm probably a little thin skinned over the subject. Being hearing impaired & lip reading to supplement since Age 4, I honestly had high hopes for Luke. After 6mos on my first major job of what became a 31yr career, I failed my hearing test during my physical, would have immediately lost my job as a File Clerk-1 during the Big Boeing Layoff period. (How much hearing does one need to tuck folders alphabetically into their little sleeves?) Thankfully that doctor let me stand at the other end of the room and let me repeat his words "Mary Had A Little Lamb" so I passed. It wasn't until the mid-80's before it was 'okay' to be a person with handicaps (and THAT was in a Govt job).
