It was just on here, Kell. I cried! LOL Ron and Kelly aren't dating. She was like 'well, yes, I made that comment about getting out of the military by being a POW but oh well....." Rob was funny. He was asked how they lost the race and he said 'uh, when they turned that plane around to get J/U!' Joyce looks just beautiful!!!

I hope that CBS replays this episode. Most of the time I had my eyes closed and the sound off when U/J were so behind; the plane had not started to leave the gate. Karma reared it's bald head at that moment and bit Rob in the tushy.

Question on the plane issue: On a few programs they showed the racers on "standby" and then a few seats open up and they can board. But what about the PA's and Camera men that ride with them? How did they get thier seats? If the show prepurchased seats for all the PA's & Camera men for each set of racers that would be half the plane at the beginning. Just seems odd.

That could be Tishala...I really can't say what is in Ron's mind or heart, because I don't know him personally. Neither do I know Kelly, so her motives could be something totally different than what I think. It just seems to me, that if a man is giving me vibes that he doesn't want to be with me, why would I try to get a commitment out of him on national TV? It seemed to me she was using the media to force him one way or the other...so she would be either the blushing bride (ala Romber) or the jilted injured party... But that is just my perspective based on the fact that from the very first leg of this race, she didn't appear to care very much for him...calling him names, accusing him of doing things he didn't...So I may have becomed biased against her over the season...

I've flown standby once. I was always afraid to fly standby because I just knew I'd get stranded somewhere... but the plane was nearly empty and I had my choice of seats...and this was flying to Orlando...in April. I guess it depends on when the flight is...

Terolyn, excellent point. Apparently, you have not been reading about all the conspiracies surrounding TAR. For more info, just look pretty much anywhere in the threads for this show.

WOW, what a great finale! Terolyn, I wonder how they arrange that too. It is possible that they buy refundable tickets for all the 2 men crews on all the possible flights that could be taken. They have a pretty good idea of the timing. When the pilot agreed to bring the jetway back for Uchenna and Joyce I smelled a rat, they were on standby. If the crew were already holding tickets he was really opening the door for them. It was great PR for American Airlines as well.

Hello...first time poster, long time reader here loved this season! Just wanted to add a comment on Kep's post re: Ron not wanting to be "controlled". Anyone notice that Kelly did not even try to deny the fact that she's trying to control him or that she ever will? (but then again, there's editing) My first response would've been "Why would you think I will be controlling you" or "I'm not trying to control you at all!" hehe...just wanted to share my thoughts. Really enjoyed reading your posts! and will continue to enjoy it.

As has been mentioned, the pilot has total control over whether or not to reopen the door and let someone else on. Since he's flying American Airlines between Jamaica and Florida, he's probably based in the U.S., and if he doesn't watch TAR, he's had to have at least heard about it and seen commercials for it. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that he figured out that two couples with cameramen, et al, were on the last leg of the race, since they were flying back to the U.S. And if he is a Survivor fan and was told the names of the couple who did get on the plane, that's all the more reason for him to let the next couple get on, too! He might even have waited for Ron and Kelly had the people at the ticket counter called and let him know they were there.

I think that Ron and Kelly were both just too self involved. I didnt like either one of them. I thought Ron was immature and nasty to her and Kelly was just too self involved. I pity whoever does end up marrying either one of them.

Welcome to the board, Sunshine!
 Congratulations Joyce & Unchenna! What an exciting finale - there were times I was slumped on the floor in disappointment but at the end I was jumping up and down in joy, lol. And what a beautiful locale for the final Pit Spot! I loved the pair of swans swimming in the background as U/J stood on the platform. And I liked the windy path that had all the other teams anxiously standing on tippy-toe and peering in the distance to see who was coming in first! I like how their reactions mirror the audiences', lol. And it's always a kick to see everyone back again. One thing...I felt so bad about the begging, hope TAR thinks of some other way to handle that. I liked that raft-building Detour a lot. Best Wishes also to Rob & Amber and Ron & Kelly. And to all the TAR fans. I'm glad we made it through the season without killing each other, lol.

It may all be in the editing, but I think we are being too hard on Ron. In the initial episodes he seemed very polite and caring toward Kelly. But she kept picking and ranting at him. As the episodes went by, he became fed up and reacted as many would. Ask yourself, if someone were continually picking at you, could you maintain a calm composure and not react?

I agree about Ron. He seems to be a pretty good and patient guy. If I was on this race, I am running a race and want to win! By the end he was just a guy trying to get through the race. He wanted to win. Forget the relationship for now, this is million dollars! I can't believe she brought that up on the last leg! I thought that was pathetic. Especially since she said she loved him after calling him a white trash redneck. Hello? She just wants to be married. Doesn't matter to who.

If Kelly saw Ron as a white-trashed redneck (I had forgot that until last night) who had his chopper shot down to become a POW so that he could get out of the military, why did she even want him?

Terolyn, if I remember correctly from a previous TAR season, they have to have seats for their cameraperson too. I think there are 2 crew/camera/production people that travel with each team (and they switch from team to team after pit stops) and each team must get 4 tickets. If my memory is correct. I have Regis and Kelly on in the other room. I heard them mention Rob and Amber. Maybe they will come on next or tomor. (Aaron Carter is on now and only 15 min left in the show.) (Announcer just mentioned tomor's show and didn't mention R&A.) Most satisfying TAR finale ever! I was so worried about J&U at the end especially when Rob saw them from his cab! Good for U for paying off the cab driver! Great show! Sorry it's over. I never saw any spoilers. I saw the early show. Rob is funny! ... saying something like "you never know" with a big grin on his face when the host asked him and Amber if there was another reality show in the future for them. Not impressed with Kelly. They replayed the POW comment clip. She didn't say much about it, just that the race is stressful and things slip out (of people's mouths). It would have been the perfect opportunity to address that on national tv and apologize. She said she thought they only argued once in the whole race.

I think Regis and Kelly just said R&A will be on tomor.

Haven't read any of the above cause I've been really careful not to be spoiled till I have a chance to watch my tape. Got my son off to preschool this morning and sat down to watch my tape of last night's episode. Right before I started the tape, I caught the tail end of Regis and Kelly, and Regis goes, "Tomorrow we'll have Rob and Amber, who came in second on the Amazing Race last night." May I just say, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! F***in' Regis!!!!!
