I didn't, Sea, but I was being extra careful to steer clear of spoilers.

I didn't know anything. I watched every show this season but I never looked at spoilers once. I also didn't participate in any TAR games. I was rooting for U/J because they were my hometown group and because they're good people. (Not saying the other teams weren't.)

Lurk, Rob and Amber got a million for the wedding footage and cbs paid for the wedding as well, so they are just fine, LOL. I am so glad Uchenna and Joyce won, and hopefully Ron has dumped Kelly. It is a happy day for all!!!!

Good, so none of us who have been spoiled since about the first week blew it for you.. I know people have been REALLY careful, not wanting to ruin it for those of you who didn't read the spoiler.

And don't forget all the trips Rob & Amber won for coming in first, and also the entertainment system.

Sea, I had heard rumors, but didn't read any of the spoilers. I have been rooting for U/J to win and R/A to come in second. Didn't want R/A to take the win again. But a show that I listen to, it was mentioned there were rumors about U/J. I just kept hoping they were true.

A very satisfying result. I'm happy. BUT I have to agree that a closed plane door was opened for U/J to make a tighter race ending.

Raen, again have to thank you. I really wouldn't have the patience to sit and watch the finale w/o reading your spoiling first. No way. I didn't know about it Sea...but I wasn't looking for AR spoilers (outside of this thread)

. Yea, glad that spoiler was correct.. it kept me going when they were looking to be in last place earlire tonight.. and I'd have been equally fine with a Romber win but NOT Ron and Kelly.

I’m happy for Uchenna and Joyce as they seem like a nice couple and they ran a good race. So you guys still think CBS fixed it so that Rob and Amber had the advantage??? That was a ridiculous piece of manipulation by the Producers having them re-open an airplane that had already closed its doors with the gate retracting. Calling the pilots .... please!!! I enjoy this show but it’s so clear that it’s just a piece of entertainment and not a real competition that it is pathetic. Can you imagine the outcry on this board if they had reopened the door for Rob and Amber? That just stinks.

I didn't know about the spoilers and I would have had such a sour taste in my mouth had R/A won...I would have been hard-pressed to watch next season. Heck, I couldn't even watch it tonight...At the beginning when they kept putting so much emphasis on R/A when the show started that I just knew they were gonna win. I could only glance at the TV as I walked through the room. R/A will be just fine and it's about time U/J won something in this Race! After Joyce shaving her head and all...this totally makes up for getting robbed of their trip earlier this season.

I think I have to agree on the plane thing as well... I might have believed it if it were just Uchenna and Joyce but, since we know it was their cameramen as well, I can't believe the pilot decided it was ok to pull back to the gate and reopen the door without some outside encouragement.

LOL Dipo....well put! I wonder if Kelly still thinks she's such an angel after hearing/seeing herself? Ya know who cares lol. Well glad for the top 2. One thing about both couples that I really liked is how both couples treated their spouses with respect, love, support and kindness through the entire race. Was nice to see! PS thanks for the info!

Thank you reality tv gods ! U&J were such decent people all race long and gracious winners too. Between Rob's accent and Kelly's whinning it was hard not to push the mute button. U&J made the show enjoyable for me. Great season!

I'm sure we'll hear more details on U/J getting on that plane tomorrow. Maybe the pilot is a Lex fan and Romber's fame played against them this time :-)

Sea, I wouldn't have cared even if I did find out...but very thoughtful that you all were so careful. Just curious, what exactly did you read? Who revealed it so early on? Also, what made you believe it (if you did)?

ROFLMAO Lilfair...come visit and you'll leave saying "what accent" hehehe BTW I love the point that if they had opened the doors for Rob and Amber the outcry would be massive...so yet more reality tv that isn't real and manipulated. WHAT A SHOCK! hehehe

The previously eliminated racers looked truly happy with the U/J win, also.

Jimmer, I agree w/you. I liked U/J and they are among my all-time favorite couples, they just had the misfortune of racing against my def. all time fav. couples Rob/Amber and Ron/Kelly. I think there's no question that the show had something to do with the gate situation, but it was worth it because 1. manipulation couldn't have happened to a better couple and 2. it was worth it not to have to read all of the posts about how R/A had it handed to them and totally discounting Rob's game play tonight. Although they didn't win (and maybe ultimately that's all the matters) Rob is probably the best player I've ever seen play this game. ...... and now at long last, I'm off to read the spoilers I've avoided all season.
