Another YAY here! What a TV night (and I haven't watched the Amish in the City Finale yet!). I am so happy that Chip and Kim pulled it off. I loved the Bowling Mom's too, and when it looked like the pretty wannabee's were gonna grab this I couldn't take it. But YaYaY....not only did real people win, but NICE one toos. Great show, great casting...I didn't know I could be so tired from 3 hours of TV watching LOLOL. One note...anyone notice how fast they forgot how Chip didn't Yield in the past when he could have? This was do or die, and they almost lost due to Chip's niceness. Funny how they forgot that. And ALL the teams wanted the yield used, but notice only Chip had the guts to do the dirty work like a man. Great TV night. I'm exhausted lol.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I'm so happy! Yay for them! Out of all the races I've seen, no one has enjoyed the experience more than Chip and Kim, which has been the reason I have enjoyed them so much and hoped they'd win!

The thing I liked best was that Colin & Christy can't even blame the yield for their loss. They were ahead and Chip & Kim last, but Kim & Chip (well Kim) researched the flights better and planned accordingly. Yeah Chip & Kim!

I'm so lame. I actually cried for both Chip and Kim AND Colin and Christie. How interesting was it that Chip first hugged the twins and completely avoided Charla and Myrna?! Both couples really love each other so much. It was great to see.

Loved this show! It was so nice this year to root for someone as nice as Chip and Kim, and be able to root for them all the way through. I had other favorites, I loved the moms, and unlike some I liked the pizza brothers. But Chip and Kim were always my number one. I am so glad they won. They just seemed to delight in the whole experience and in each other. Has there ever been another year when so many people were rooting for the same team? Even the ones who really wanted one of the other teams to win are still so happy it is Chip and Kim.

Absolutely BEST TAR Ever! YESSSS!!!! Go Chip & Kim! Kept it intense and me on the edge of my seat til the end! Was it just me? Or did it seem like all the other people looked actually pleased for them. No fakey-looking smiles! The hugs looked genuine. It's just like back when Zach & Flo won, the taxi holding at Lincoln Park in Seattle (noticed nobody lets the cab go anymore, so they must have all learned/watched). Something, seemingly minor, goes wrong, and it can change the whole outcome of the race. This time, who would of guessed the 'Checking of the Bags' might create such a mess for C/C and B/N? I truly thought it was a smart idea because they could run even faster not having to haul their bags. But Oh My Goodness!

Actually Tish, they DID hug Charla and Mirna. There didn't seem to be an order to who they hugged first. I noticed that Chip&Kim did pick up on Ch/Mi methods - - keep your mouth shut about airline info and slip quietly into the night! That really made the difference. If the others had known - they would have been buying tickets, instead of sleeping and later fussing/stressing to get standbye tickets the next morning.

Heriam, yes. I thought that was good that Chip and Kim won on an even playing field. It can never be said that without the yield C/C would have taken it. It will make for a good friendship outside this game if any of them ever see each other again.

This was the best EVER TAR season!! Finally, a team I liked won! (Actually, I had two wins in one night with BB, too!) I agree that C/C played a good game, but I did NOT like how they treated other people. (As an American who does travel to other countries, I was embarrassed at times at how they treated others, such as cab drivers.) I wasn't even watching the show last night (I was in chat). And my heart was racing so fast, I think it was a good thing I DIDN'T see it all live! <grin> Chip and Kim... congrats! You two deserve it!

Pamy, I think their last name is McAllister. I thought I read that on the check this morning when Phil gave it to them.

I had to go out for a beer after this was all over. I was so pumped up and happy for Chip and Kim. There must be something about the name "Chip" because there was a Chip on the winning team last year also. Anyway, I was loving every minute of it. Although, it wasn't until last night that I realized that I really didn't like Brandon and Nicole. I was kinda on the fence about them but that Nicole was like a spoiled, tantrum-throwing child and when Brandon told Chip to "Beat it" when Chip went to help Nicole in the water, Brandon's stock plummetted with me. How obnoxious to expect Chip to help him with the flag thing (and get upset when he didn't) but then to blow him off when Chip is concerned for Nicole's well-being out there in the water. I was actually hoping for Brandon and Nicole to finish behind Colin and Christie after that. And they did. Anyway, I'm thrilled to death that Chip and Kim won. This is the second year in a row that the team I was rooting for won.

Pamy, I believe Chip said he was going to tithe some of his winnings to his church located in San Juan Capistrano. That' right over the mountain from me. I'll have to check the tape again for the name.

C/C were at a big gathering of TAR fans in NYC last night-the TWOP TARCon-, and said they actually finished about an hour behind C/K because their taxi (the one who was driving on the shoulder and everything) ended up blowing a tire out, and they had to call another cab. No word on how far back B/N were behind C/C, so they must have had trouble with the maze and traffic as well.

I have to join you all and say this was the best season of TAR to date! For me it was the perfect reality television night...first Drew won, then Chip and Kim. Woohoo!

Wilsonatmd - Nice find. I was wondering about the time issue, cause I noted when C/C arrived the sunlight was different (notably later) than when C/K arrived - so that hour verifies my initial thoughts on the time difference. Which was surprisingly not as tight as the 2nd to last pitstop (15 min seperation 1st-4th) considering they all arrived at similar times to Dallas. I wasn't paying attention to when B/N and the lighting because I just didn't care about them!
