I've really enjoyed this show, and will be happy no matter who won. I really, really hope they bring this back next year (or sooner).

I liked it too, it is a shame it got a summer gig. I think when it first started I wasn't so sure. In hindsight, I think I let Kayte Fogal ruin the show for me. This show has done a great job with the clues. One of the best and most challenging that I have seen. Most of the time I think shows like this use "fluffy" stuff but this has really made you think outside of the box.

I think the rules need some ironing out. It didn't seem fair that week when the Miss USAs were out that three teams could skip some of the tasks because someone else worked out a clue. I think they should avoid things like that. (However this week I would have liked it if the CIA got Liberty without seeing the ship!)

I'm sure a couple of weeks ago they said a two hour finale, but no mention of it this week or in the screen guide. Maybe they changed it.

Tuzza, I totally agree about Kayte ruining it for a while.

I just checked the NBC website and it says to that the season Finale is Aug 21st so guess we get two more shows.

I just found this article about the Southie Boys very interesting.

http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2006/08/07/search_party/?page=2

Especially this item:

Since the show's taping, the twins have returned to Los Angeles, where they are studying to become fire department captains. They also found time to play small roles in the Oliver Stone movie ``World Trade Center."

``We play two firemen," says Matthew. ``We pull Nicolas Cage out of the rubble."

Would have been a great irony if the Geniuses got ousted in Philly, after the guy calling it his old hometown bragged he knew what the Girard clue meant ~ it is a street! But the other teams would assume Girard was a name! Har dee har har, he was just so clever! Of course he's such a genius that he didn't think maybe the Girard was a street named after a man, Stephen Girard? They just got lucky it led them to Girard College and the Founder's Hall. Can't forget this is the team who hoped the treasure hunt would have some tough puzzles befitting their genius minds. So then they lured another team to Mt. Roosevelt instead of the correct Mt. Rushmore. Duh! It must be their superior know it all attitude that got them called Geniuses because they've been over thinking clues, using info uncovered by other teams, and just plain getting lucky. If that amounts to playing like geniuses, almost any other team can be called equally brilliant. I'd wonder if they weren't being edited unfairly yet their bragging must occur often to get all the footage of them gloating how smart they are.
Those Southie Boys, wasting time being Mouthy Boys instead of getting on with the hunt. Boo, it's a treasure hunt, boys, not a street brawl!
Keep going Air Force, that's the only team I can root for now!!!

There seems to be some confusion regarding the "finale". Apparently there are two remaining episodes. The "live" finale will be on August 21st per the Southie Boys and Melissa of TeamMissUSA. They ought to know as they have to be there! lol!

*Sigh* NBC just doesn't do reality well. Another network would have properly promoted this show.

Melissa also says that the solving of the clue between the Geniuses and the Ex-CIA's was so close that they had to go back and review the tapes. That wasn't edited. One of the Ex-CIA's told her that it was within seconds.

According to the tv guide, they're showing an episode on Monday 14th at 9, then that same episode on Monday 21st at 8, followed by the finale at 9. So they're kind of making a 2hr finale out of it, just a week later.

They go to the effort of a live finale and then make a mess of telling everyone about it!

Hey! Isn't there anyone from the east coast watching?

Just thought I would bump this, in case anyone wished to discuss any of the particulars (i.e., Spoilers) since I have another 1 hr 20 minutes of waiting.

Gosh, my Sis and I wish this weren't ending so soon!!! Bisc

The line-up at the end of tonight's show is

1. Geniuses
2. Air Force
3. Southies

They are all in the building (huge old warehouse) where treasure is located. The treasure is in a hidden room buried deep within the building. Geniuses are in that room. Air Force and Southies are in the warehouse looking for the room.

Unscrambling the anagram gave "the key is free," but aren't they looking for a five-letter word?

Awwww Thanks Color!
Just about on shortly.
Gotta tell ya, a jiffy ago my Sis made me jump outta my skin!

I popped down to take out garbage & recycles while I wait. Left the computer internet running. Came back inside to hear screams of my name. I have CallWave and she was calling from Phx (show starts at 8pm there) wanting me to race in and pick the Treasure Chest she saw. Well, I did it. Don't know if we'll win but I now am registered and we made our pick (for the very FIRST time ever.)

Excitement! Excitement! Got my fingers and toes crossed. Bisc

I'm wondering if the word they're looking for is "glyph," just because they sort of highlighted one of the geniuses saying "I wonder if the clue is in one of these glyphs" like he was thinking too hard again. But, that's not a very "historical" word, so hmm.

Tntitanfan - I don't think the clues for the viewers have anything to do with the clues the teams are looking for.

ok my turn for a question i have not seen the first second last place listing after about 30 minutes of the show last night. i am just wondering out loud. in the begining they were told they could not use pc's for final leg. at the fire house the air force sat down at the firehouse pc to look something up. could they be disqualified?

I doubt it Jrsbus, these teams don't even get disqualified when they fail to go to a location to find a clue. They may be on their way to the first location and they get a phone call from another team and meet them at the second location.

Jrsbus - I think I heard they weren't allowed to use their pc's on this leg. Said nothing about using someone else's (the firehouse's).

I wondered about "glyph" too, but it doesn't seem to fit with the theme of the show. I'm excited to see that in the last episode (or so they made it appear!) all three teams are locked in that room, and therefore, presumably, are all stuck. If I were them I would have one person in the team constantly trying five letter words related to history, whilst the other two search, and then swap around every 10 minutes. Like "Liberty", the word could be quite guessable without the clue.

Did you notice how fake and lit the little cavern they're in is? I think they're going to do what the early Survivor seasons did, and at some point next week switch the set to an identical one at the live show.

I think you are right about the set, Kitt.

I think the Southie Boys most definitely should be trying words on their cryptex. It seems to be their best shot at solving the puzzle. Thinking things through doesn't seem to be their strong suit. They are more lucky than good, not that that's a bad thing.

I'm glad that they are all back in one place. The Geniuses have got to be going stark raving mad...knowing that they had such a head start and were so close and just can't come up with the right solution.

That whole drop the medallion in the slot deal had to have those people going out of their minds with fright. There have been so many of these "take a risk" type of deals in these challenges. I love it! Like Mickey Redmond would say, "This is no place for a nervous person."

I can't wait to see who is going to win this. It's well deserved whoever it is. I LOVED this show!

I watched this show for the first time last night. (Well, actually I saw a few minutes of an episode a while back but all it was was a team taking a break to go to a fast food joint 'cause they were hungry!!! I couldn't believe that!) It seemed pretty neat. That guy on the phone was just a wannabe-Phil though. But it would be cool if TAR did something like having a series of clues from each leg.

I'll watch next week. If I remember, lol.
