You know, one of the more annoying moments was not when she was shrilling (that was to be expected anymore), but when she walked sullenly alongside Zack, with her head slightly tilted to one side, looking off to one side, and chomping her gum. All dramatics, and all something I would have expected from a teenager throwing a "whatever" tantrum. And I swear, at one point I saw her look at her reflection in a car window. Probably to double check and make sure she was accomplishing just the "look" she wanted.

I think they should have been penalized for not rowing thier own reed boat. But, I wonder if the producers were afraid to do so, in fear of the even more over-the-top meltdown she would have had. She probably would have had to be hospitalized, and then she'd sue the show for putting her under such duress. After all, nothing is ever her fault.

Can't you just picture her on Survivor? Heck, they'd vote her off before the first IC!

they'd tie to her to a rock and "oops! the tide came up, who knew it would do that? and just took her away"...oh wait, that was the boat.

The people who did the bikes were not penalized when the locals pushed them along.

I've never slapped anyone, in my life, but last night, I wanted to slap Flo. She didn't earn one dime of the money and IF she had any decency or maturity, she would give her share to the man that did the job of 2. I have so much admiration for Zack. I'm amazed at his patience and "niceness". If I had been Flo's partner, I would have gone along with her - purchased 2 tickets, said it was time to go, and when she refused to go on, I'd have left her butt in Viet Nam

car, i think they should have been penalized too, if they weren't also riding the bike. flo and zach weren't even rowing at all once they found help.

Well the instructions on the bikes was for ONE TEAM MEMBER TO RIDE...and half of them walked with others pushing...so IMO, it is about even.
The only one who did that one right was Gerard and to some degree Ian part of the way.

I was curious about the bike 'walking' and Flo/Zach not oaring their own boats too. I guess having the locals help was not against the rules.

Yep, Flo is too much alright. However, I understand Drew and her a little better now that she won. Maybe she's treating, lol!

i didn't hear that only one member had to ride the bikes. maybe they could have taken only one bike per team to start with, and had their partner help balance it?!

What I understood from an interview yesterday (I'll try and find the article) was that Flo & Zach were penalized an hour for using the locals to row for them, so were Teri, Ian, Ken & Gerard for having the locals help them as well, so the penalties cancelled each other out.

I was wondering about that, especially Terri who didn't even get on the bike. I can't believe Flo and Zach pulled it off after that boat scenario. Not that she deserved to win by any means, Zach deserves the money for putting up with her!

IMHO Zach should get a check for $999,999.99 and Flo should get a check for $.01 with a kick in the pants. I can't remember ever being so completely disappointed in the outcome of a "reality" show. Flo may be 23 yrs. old but she needs to be put over someones knee. What a little brat she is. Sorry, I really needed to vent.

I agree that Zach sould get 99% of the prize. In fact, while watching the show last night I was thinking that if they didn't win because of her ineptitude, I would try to start some kind of a "Dollars for Zach" fund. (Just a little flight of fancy, guys.) He is a dear and I'd be proud to have him for a son. AS someone else posted, it taught me a lesson. I realized that for years I've been a Flo (to some extent) and my husband 's been a Zach. I appreciate him more than ever. It really was a miracle that they won - never would have guessed it. I was rooting for Ken and Gerard - anybody but Teri and Ian. He was as much of a creep last night as he was thoughout the whole race.

my 15-year-old daughter just came home from a skiing trip with my 69-year-old mother. yep, my mom still skis avidly...anyway, the first thing caitlin said when she got back home was: "oh my gosh, i saw a flo and zach at mt. shasta!" my husband, who never saw TAR, went 'huh?' and i said, "tell me!"
my daughter said there was a couple in their early to mid-20's skiing and the girl was a whiner just like flo. she said the guy was totally patient and the girl was saying, "i don't have to do that. tell me i don't have to ride on that chair!" and the guy said, "no, you can stay here, and i'll go on the chair lift and ski down to where you are." and the girl said, "you can't leave me here alone!" (alone being with about 10,000 other people down near the lodge.) and the guy said, "it's okay. i won't leave you. why don't we just try this bunny hill?" and the girl started crying, "i can't do it." over and over again. the guy explained they could take the little rope tow up the almost level 200 feet or walk up, and the girl started crying that she didn't have the strength to walk and she couldn't go on the scary rope tow and could the guy carry her. my daughter said she kept running into this couple and it was always the gal whining and the guy soothing her. she said she was mostly suprised to see it wasn't the real flo and zach!

LOL Tabby! How scary to think there's more than one Flo/Zach in the world! I can't see Flo going any where near a mountain to ski. It would be too cold. Now, hanging out in the lodge and making eyes at all the guys....yeah, that I could see!

i was kinda hoping maybe women like flo give the rest of us a good name sometimes! my guess is that my husband would think i was 'great and never complains at all' if he could only have seen even one episode of flo!
there is no way my husband would put up with me acting like flo!

i saw a young korean-american man with zach hair (complete with headband!) win a mini cooper car in vegas. so the zachs of the world are getting something! he had no flo with him, so that made it even better LOL ...i guess if i couldn't win it for my son, it was okay for a zach-type to get it...
since we can't say, 'go with the flow' anymore, i now say, 'exzachly' when something goes right for someone!
oh, and i did win a thousand dollars, so we had a good trip, too!

Always fun to win! Congrats! Did you yell "woo hoo" when you won Tabby? I was telling someone in chat one night how when I win even a few coins (usually nickles since I'm cheap) how I yell "woo hoo." They said that most tourist do that, and the locals crack up over it...so at least I know I'm givig someone a good laugh.

Flo should definitely give Zach her half of the money. The more distance between me and this last season really gets me to realizing how bad she actually was. I just think of the bad attitude, the throwing of helmets, whining, crying, and threatning to quit....and yet they had to be doing something right or getting very lucky to win. Zach, I think, definitely deserved to win.

war, i tried not to yell because my hubby was 2 rows over and he would want some money!! but everyone else around me got excited so he came to see who had won what...lol
we were given comped rooms for 3 nights and 200 bucks cash to go to circus circus, so we were using their money when i won. we then used the winnings to gamble, shop, eat at espn zone, send the kids on the rollercoasters, etc...we also shopped at nellis air force base, as my husband used to be stationed there. we got a bunch of pics of the thunderbirds and the pilots are going to send us some autographed posters.
by the way, a pit boss told me later that the 'zach guy' elected to take 25k in cash rather than the car. (i didn't know you could do that, and was also surprised the car was valued that high. i know you can get a basic model for about 17k. this one had special chrome wheels, leather, designed tail light lenses, etc. still, i would have taken the money, too. i could have paid the 8k taxes and still had the money to buy a basic mini cooper if i wanted one!)
or, found part of the money to send my son to college! he was accepted to the ohio state today and really wants to go...out of state tuition will kill us...damn those buckeyes and their triumphant win over miami ;>)

interesting...makes you wonder some, but she did have a long time to think about how to explain how she came off 'so badly' on the show! sort of a toss up on whether she is a brat or was edited to look that way. very good and lengthy interview.
i still like zach better! but, i was impressed that she has saved every penny. what does she live on, as she's not working? rents are pretty hefty where she lives!
anyway, thanks for the link, as i like to see what happens down the road with TAR contestants. i was trying to tell from what she said if wil and tara are together.
