Definitely happy the frats didn't take it :-)

I loved when the hippies were running to the final pitstop and the other teams were cheering and then the camera swung around to Phil and as he saw who was running up, he did his one-eyebrow lift.. I thought he was pretty happy about it :-) or at least the one eyebrow was happy.

Imagine that twice the Hippies lost everything without complaining. Giving Ray & Yo the money gave them the winning Karma over E/J.

YIPPEEE HIPPIES!!!!!

The best team ever to win on TAR! I don't think I have ever enjoyed every single episode as I have this season and it was all due to BJ and Tyler. You guys were great....TTAO!!!!!

They were just presented with the check on CBS Early Show and they looked great. Tyler had on a white suit (can you believe it?) and he looked so nice. BJ had on a purple velvet cape (for kings) and a crown. They were too cute!!!

Ray proposed to Yolanda and she accepted!
CONGRATULATIONS!

Thanks TAR for an outstanding season!

Did anyone see MoJo at the end last night? I'm sure they were there, but I didn't see them.

I hope this season comes out on DVD. I want to watch it again!

Congrats to Ray and Yolanda!

The frat boys plucked my nerves, but I agree that they were amazing competitors.

YAY HIPPIES!

MoJo was there but they didn't show them doing anything other than just the usual group shots...and I never saw either of them hug or approach the hippies.

Yes, MoJo were there. Mo had a forced smile on her house. I noticed they all had pretty big jackets on for Alaska, obviously given to them by the show cuz when they landed in Denver, they were all back to their regular clothes, the big jackets, hats, etc were gone. At least they realize that those that had everything taken from them do need a little coverage in Alaska. Just found that interesting.

I too loved the ending. As sweet as Chip and Kim winning. Yes it is a race;however, when are you ever going to explore the world like that. Take a minute or two to enjoy it and treat the your host country with respect and you will go a long way as did the hippies and Chip and Kim.

I was happy the Hippies won. What a wonder example of teamwork and trying to place the positives first in communication with each other and others. I loved how Tyler gave direct eye contact to everyone, it's such an important beginning in any communication.

I'm also happy to hear that Ray proposed to Yolanda. Congratulations Ray-Yo!!

Congratulations Hippies!

I loved the snow falling at the Finish Line!!! Little disappointed that some of the eliminated teams didn't appear all that enthusiastic but perhaps they were just too darn cold.

Some great tasks these last two legs - my favorites were the rollercoasters Roadblock (even though I'm more of a spinning ride girl myself - I'd have never seen that sign from the coaster 'cause my eyes would have been glued shut), the messenger bike Detour (were those bikes not too cool?), and the flags Roadblock (better than the also-good map Roadblock from the Family Edition - although I flinched when the flag got thrown on the ground). The bush plane Detour could have interesting.

Oh my gosh is Tokyo amazing - and crowded. I already knew that but seeing all those people, wow. I loved the story about Hachiko. And the yellow and red scarf. And the swan boats.

I didn't care for the sniping between the Frats and the Hippies though. I can see how having BJ & Tyler hovering around you could get annoying when you're really stressed, lol.

I did feel a little bad for Eric & Jeremy. They were so disappointed and did run the strongest Race overall. But the Hippies had good luck, or was it karma?, on their side. It was funny when Phil asked about the name "Frat Boys" and Eric (think it was him) objected to the name with "we're dropouts!", lol. Congrats to Ray and Yolanda on their engagement!

Oh and I still love Phil!!!

Okay, I know the board are almost all Hippie fans, but did they bother anyone else last night repeating incessantly that they had an advantage in Japan because one of them knew the language (both?) It was driving me crazy. They should have put a count on the screen every time it was stated. So annoying.

I'm happy for Ray and Yolanda. She is a great gal...very sweet. I wish them happiness.

No, it didn't bother me that the hippies mentioned more than once that they might do well in Japan. They had bad luck a few times so I wanted them to have a little good luck. I was so happy that they got their flags correct even though the Frat Boys arrived there first. Sometimes a good memory wins the race and this TAR proved that theory. LOL
So happy BJ and Tyler won!. Congrats to Yolanda and Ray.

I'm glad to hear it too. I was hoping that they would win. The frat boys were egotists and the hippies got annoying sometimes, especially towards the last few episodes.

I was often annoyed by the hippies but not by the mention of knowing Japanese.. heck I'd have been giddy with JOY if I spoke Japanese and TAR sent me to Japan.

I was happy with their win and Congrats and best wishes to RAYYO and think what a great honeymoon they will have with that trip they won to Australia!

I loved seeing the nerds again and they were very happy for the hippies.

And have to say frats ran a good game! If they got bad karma anywhere I'd say it was when they cancelled those taxis.

One word: EDITING. The editors put the hippies saying it so many times -- they more than likely had many other words in between, this is just the ones they editors were emphasizing...probably to make it look less likely that they were going to win at the end.

I am so happy for the hippies. I loved the finale! I loved the eyebrow! (Phil) I thought it was very gracious of BJ and Tyler to tone it down once E/J got to the final mat, they could see how disappointed E/J were. I really thought E/J were going to win up until almost the last moment...great editing there.

RAEN, thanks for all the spoiling for this and Survivor. Thanks so much, you are very appreciated!

i had to laugh yesterday. my step-father is in critical condition in the ICU and my mom had to fly home from my brother's graduation in virginia. she was up for about 27 hours when she got to the hospital. she fell asleep in the ICU waiting room. when i got there yesterday, she kind of sat up, dazed and then yelled out, "the san francisco hippies won! isn't that great!?" and laid back down and was out like a light. she'll be 73 in september, so it was cute that she woke up only to comment on TAR and the hippies :-)

Finally had time to watch the finale. WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! Absolutely thrilled that the Hippies won AND that they did it on brains in the very last challenge. :-) They were considerate to the end-- how many other teams would have left money for another team in the LAST leg of the race? I would love to know what the actual time difference was between the three teams.

Does anyone know if Ray and Yolanda had to do the flag task? .. Or did they just get to go on in since they were already third? .. I would imagine the fratboys had to complete it because Ray and Yo could have come in and started and passed them if they didn't...

In their Finish Line interview, Ray and Yolanda said they did not have to do the final Roadblock.

BJ/Tyler said that Eric/Jeremy finished about 7 minutes behind them.

it looked like 7 minutes, but i thought maybe they were closer and just held back for a few minutes as bj/tyler got their accolades. i'm glad this wasn't a footrace to the very end. i was ready to wee wee already!

Tabby, sorry to hear about your stepfather, I hope he is doing better.

That is very funny about your mom waking up for a moment and talking about the hippies!
