Right on Zach!! How was that man capable of tolerating such a<>? The show should give that man an additional million for putting up with her! His challenge was much greater than anyone elses.

He's a much bigger man than me that is for sure. ANYONE that would repeatedly pitch a fit, cry, tell me off, and degrade me, and say over and over that they wanted to quite would have gotten exactly what they were asking for. I would have told her off and left her there and headed home. Instead, he remained calm and dragged the wench too victory. I was actually clapping for him, and only him, as they came up that hill running towards the finish line. My girlfriend on the other hand was pretty pissed. She kept seeing it as a victory for Flo. I told her to ignore that because the man deserved that victory for the garbage he had to put up with. Not only did he face the challenge of the race but he had to deal with her. Anyone that could endure her should not be penalized.

It’s true that freaky Flo got some money that wasn’t really hers but the negative press she will receive will take care of her wagon real fast. No doubt she will hear over and over that she didn’t earn it and didn’t deserve it. Zach on the other hand goes down as the most well deserved winner of all time in U.S. reality show contests. The man could teach courses in patience and tolerance.

I'm real pleased with the results. He earned it! I consider it a Zach victory not a Zach and Flo victory. In the end without even trying he made her look like a fool! Way to go Zach!

lmao!

This is my first night here and haven't really looked through all the threads...um...does EVERYBODY here hate Flo? laughing_008

Sure looks like it...man...has there ever been a more miserable, nasty, whiney, pathetic, mean, vindictive and self centered person on a reality show....EVER?!?!

I'd sooner be placed in solitary confinement shackled to Puck (Real World), then spend 5 minutes in the same room with this broad. Ugh!

This is a p.s... Did anyone catch the following from Flo? ... She said, "I appologize for being so bad" then she looked at Zach and said, "This is where you are suppose to say to me that I wasn't that bad" and he said with a smile... "You weren't that bad" I wanted to puke! Where is Dr. Phil when you need him? :-)

I caught it, she hasn't a single solitary redeeming quality. The only reason she apologized was so he would say no she wasn't a pain. When he didn't bite, she surprised no one in my living room by bringing it up herself.

It's like that really insecure skinny girl in school announcing in front of her fat friends that she couldn't possibley eat that cookie cause she's just a fat pig. Just so she can hear a bunch of insecure, overweight, less popular people say she was NOT fat, and how much they wished they looked like her.

These types of people make me sick with their little compliment fishing expeditions. I always used to say, "YEAH, YOU ARE A FAT PIG, NOW SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!"

Truly... Hahahahahahaha! Very funny :)

By the way you are right! It is unanimous. Freaky Flo goes down in history as the most disliked reality show contestant.

But CImag, like Dr. Phil says, you gotta name it to claim it. Maybe watching the tapes will give her some insight into how this ugly negativity permeates her....her everything. We've heard the excuses before re: editing, stress, hunger, etc. But, I have to believe there will be some gut level relection and hopefully some redirection. Something's gotta help this girl.

I am so very happy for Zach. He did his parents proud.

Flo should not be the most disliked reality contestant ever...Do you people remember Wil and Tera????....As bad as Flo whined and complained, and I have no sympathy for her, she was never as hateful and as bad as Wil and Tera

lol... evil_laughter_002 ...a title she more than earned. shakemitkopf

I wonder how long it will take for her to make Reality TV's "Hall of Shame". Marcellas was inducted within what? A few hours, tops, of not using the Golden Veto? If I ran that site I'd have had her added by the time the credits rolled!

Well, I'm sad to see this AR over, but doing the dance of joy over never having to look at that nasty little face or listen to her moan, groan, whine, complain and BI**H ever again!

Now on to Survivor...if Clay wins tomorrow night I don't know what I'll do, but whatever it is, it most definately won't be pretty and will probably include massive amounts of mind numbing alcohol, I'm thinking Tequila, lol.

From AR3 you mean?

If so, well, sorry, but I'd choose a dozen Will & Tera's over just one Flo.

For me the difference is Amazing Race has always been about working hard, cooperating, teamwork, smart playing, and some luck... and Zack definitely has that, but somehow on Survivor, I am willing to see someone like Clay win because of the nature of the game...it is not really about Surviving...who finds food and builds shelter... it is about doing 15 other people wrong, and somehow getting them to vote for you... it is all about plotting and conniving...very little to do with fair play.

I hope Julie Chen asks Flo how it feels to have everyone in America rooting against you.

The hubby and I watched together last night and he said, "Oh my gawd! You're right! She is just like my sister! She even looks like her!"

I'm hoping watching Flo gave him some insight into why I want to throttle his darned sister!

LOL Jane_Bond make sure he reads the posts. I really Like Zack and I think the good that came out of this is he realises they need to stay JUST friends. Shuder imagine if they were married Oh my Gosh hand out the nerve pills.

My friend and I agree that Flo is going to suddenly wake up in about five years and realize that she threw away the best man in the world.

Meanwhile, Zach will be happily married with a few chubby kids, and he'll pat Flo on the head nicely and say, "Gee, Flo, I'm sorry you feel so sad... but excuse me, my wife is calling."

Just for laughs, I am reposting their profile.

New Yorkers Flo, 23, a public relations associate, and Zach, 23, a production assistant, have been good friends ever since they met five years ago in a cafeteria at Vassar College. While wearing a funny hat and a camouflage suit, Zach instantly caught Flo's eye. Although Flo and Zach have shared a mutual attraction for each other over the years, they've never pursued a romantic relationship.

One of their most memorable times together was when they were both bartending in college. Says Flo, "We would go crazy making drinks for the whole bar, trying to be Tom Cruise in Cocktail. It was so fun to be silly with someone while working." Ironically, one of the worst experiences they've ever had took place while they were working together. When a young girl became extremely ill from drinking too much, Flo and Zach had to rush her to the hospital. "We had to deal with the EMS and it was a really scary situation," says Zach, who adds, "It was reassuring to go through it with Flo."

Although Flo and Zach are seasoned travelers, the couple has only shared one 24-hour trip together. This Team is convinced, however, that they have what it takes to come out on top. According to Zach, "I am the logistics man. I'm good with directions, roughing it and keeping a cool head. Flo is very good at keeping things fun. She's also great at getting people to do things they might not otherwise do." Flo and Zach are looking forward to seeing some great places during the Race, and hope the experience will bring them even closer together.

Flo's birth date is January 17. Zach's birth date is June 29.

Languages and past travel experience: impressive.
They might have a good chance at winning. If Ms High-Maintenance doesn't slow them down with the, IMHO, inevitable melt-down.

Congratulations Zach & Flo!

Even though I wouldn't have minded either K/G or T/I coming in first, I was thrilled this team won. Zach really deserved a reward for his patience, support, and good-natured attitude. Flo, well, I actually yelled at my tv because of her last night but I hope she comes out of this experience a better and happier person.

Just when I thought Flo's behavior couldn't get any worse and that I couldn't like her less, she throws the tantrum in the boat. What is with this girl?! When my 3 year old nephew had tantrums the doctor told his mom to throw cold water in his face -- Zach should have taken his paddle and splashed some of that dirty water in hers!

Zach, you so deserve the entire million just for putting up with her and hauling her whiney bum through the whole race. Congrats to you! You deserve the win!

I just couldn't stay up last night, had a bad day and Flo's complaining in the reed boat just tore it for me....I couldn't take it! I figured with her "quitting" again for God knows how many times that there was no way Zach would get her out of there. With my mental state last night I would have voted to let her sink in the river! Imagine my surprise to come here and find out Zach somehow got her moving and they won! Incredible.....

You know, even though I just posted in another thread about my problems with Flo, the fact is I had something of a breakthrough with her last night. Somewhere in her squalling through Vietnam, she ceased to bother me. Yes, she's awful; I think we can all acknowledge that. But last night she became a caricature of herself, and somehow I was able to get past all the screeching and take a sort of Zen attitude towards her.

For that reason, and because I think Zach REALLY earned it, I wasn't that upset about them winning. My sister was majorly bummed. I had wanted Ken and Gerard to win, but as my annoyance with Flo subsided, I rediscovered my annoyance with Teri and Ian, so actually I was just happy that they didn't win.

Flo obviously needs help. She is, I think, a very unhappy person. Some unhappy people keep it to themselves, but not our Flo. If she's miserable, everyone within earshot (which is considerable distance with Flo) must be miserable too. I hope she uses some of her winnings on therapy and/or medication.

Ok once again I am taking the side of the least popular person (and even my husband dislikes her) but I was standing up for flo for the exact reason the host of the morning show was.
I watched her and could relate. I've been in that position. She was at her lowest of the low. She was tired, no she was exaughsted (sp?). And as we all know at those points in our lives our absolute worst qualities come out....at least with us everyday people there are no tv cameras there to document every B*** word that comes out of our mouths. I'm not justifying her behaviour but i'm just saying i've been there (well not all the way there) and I don't think anyone can really judge unless they look at their own selves when they haven't eaten properly, or slept properly and been under intense stress for weeks at a time.
I could tell that Flo was learning from her behaviour, and she did say she appriciate the efforts Zack made to keep her up beat. I think everyone in this world has learned and improved their behavior as they get older and I believe that this was one of those eye opening experiences for Flo.
Actually Flo helped me learn from her behaviour too. I realized that I 'yell' at my hubby a lot too when i get frustrated and after watching what it actually looks like I've tried to be a better person.
So I thank Flo, and I'm proud of her for seeing the error of her ways and admitting on national television that it was inappropriate, and hurtful to Zack.
So, like I said next time anyone is down in the dumps and stressed...think of Flo and maybe that will help you realize the effect your mood has on your friends and significant others.
Ok, getting off my soap box now!

The winners were Flo and her Zach,
Zach's great but his partner would slack,
She behaved like a baby,
And I think more than maybe,
Flo should give every cent of it back!
