Sunriverose | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 10:11 pm   Well, it just ended here in CA...And I am so glad I didn't slip in here before the show to see who won. What a great show. |
Bidasea | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 10:23 pm   Wow...That was a great last show. I am really going to miss this on Wed. nights.Yeah Rob and Brennan.You guys ran an Amazing Race. I was happy that Frank and Margarita ended up winners too. When he took her hand to cross the finish line, he showed good sportsmanship, and respect for Margarita. I hope they can end up as a family with their little girl. Congratulations Rob and Brennan |
Jimmer | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 10:24 pm   Just an all around great show. Really demonstrates how intelligence and teamwork pays off. |
Tbear | Thursday, December 13, 2001 - 10:34 pm   That was AMAZING Allright! A VERY fitting name for this show. I agree that this was the most satisfying ending to a reality show EVER!!! I was wondering why R&M didn't notice there was not another route marker. What a Thrill Ride between the two of them playing neck and neck. My little dog Cody , thought something was wrong because I was saying YAYYYYY! Clapping with tears in my eyes for R&B...Saying THEY WON! THEY WON!...hmmm and I won(11 stars). Rob did a smart thing by asking the girl for her cell phone for $300 to book a flight. That helped. It does show character that he said that he could have booked 8 flights but didn't want to play it this way. I couldn't believe that they beat F&M in NY being on their turf. Rob was on his knees with tears in his eyes on the podium. So touching... I DITTO exactly what Judy said. It all worked out perfect. I yelled to the Guidos, "What goes around comes Around" and laughed when they kept trying to convince themselves that they could still win and the ultimate statement- likening themselves to Clinton and would likely end up meeting him because they pulled themselves out of messes like he did. (Did you hear what they said about the others possibly frozen in the snow when they were in Alaska?!!) WAY TO GO ROB AND BRENNAN! YOU ARE Gentlemen as well as nice looking; having shown GREAT MORALES and respect for each other. YOU REALIZE THAT TO BE HAPPY IN LIFE, THE WAY TO WHICH YOU ACHIEVE IT AND THE FEELING THAT YOU GET FROM THAT JOURNEY, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OUTCOME. YOU HAVE ALSO RESTORED MY FAITH in GUYS OUT THERE! YOUR PARENTS SHOULD BE PROUD! I don't believe in cloning, especially when it goes beyond an organ to a full-fledged human being, but I may now be re-thinking the idea.....kidding!!! WOOOOOOOO! HOOOOOOOOOOO! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH. ONCE AGAIN YOU TWO, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! TBEAR |
Smileeys | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:46 am   Yep, me, too, TBear! I never found them boring but great decent guys with a sense of humor. I will take that any day over the relationships I have had with the roller coaster ride type guys I have had! I am so happy they won and I hate to say it but it wasn't okay with me either way. I did not want F/M to win. They did ask for help that one time in Alaska with the flashlights but I don't really remember them following F/M but F/M being ahead of them at times and them going to the same place - I guess if you want to consider that folloing well okay..... but in the end there was no following and F/M got overconfident and R/B won! |
Fruitbat | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 04:29 am   Dogdoc.. I think they must have been told that they would not see the others team instructions in the box beforehand. Good foresight on productions part. It would have ruined the fabulous ending had F and M known they were running second. I have been rooting for the lawyers for a long time and would have been OK with F and M winning until last night. Frank was over the top insisting that Rob and Brennan followed them everywhere. And he didn't like them? jeeeeeeze. He is an edgy one with quite an ego. Best reality show ever and that ending! Couldn't have been better. |
Crazydog | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 08:59 am   I am so happy that Rob and Brennan won, I liked them early on even when others didn't! As far as the final route marker, I was thinking about that as well... there must have been more than three envelopes in the box. Brennan said they didn't know if they were ahead or behind, and if there had only been two envelopes when Frank and MArgarita showed up, Margarita would not have acted like they were the winners. Good job Rob and Brennan! |
Grooch | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:15 am   Last night I was switching back and forth between AR and TI2. Can someone fill me in on something I missed? When they were in NY and Brennan and Rob were waiting for the train, it looked like F&M were right behind them and they were going to catch it too. Obviously they missed it, but by how much did they miss catching the train and how long did they have to wait for the next one? Did they know R&B got on that train? Thanks! |
Tksoard | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:19 am   Grooch, F/M thought R/B were behind them. They miss the train the R/b were on by one minute. They had to wait 15 minutes for the next train, so they showed up at the finish line about 15 minutes later then R/B.  |
Grooch | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:25 am   Wow! 1 minute. I saw the train pulling in and R&B waiting for it. I thought for sure at the time F&M were going to make it on there. Thanks TK. |
Jaded | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:32 am   That was a great finale! WOW! I'm so glad that Rob and Brennan won. Frank was a little too cocky for his own good the whole show so I figured that R/B would win. Funny how R/B thought of booking all the tickets then thought better of it and then it shows Frank saying that they are sneaky. It showed that they weren't and won fair and square. |
Grooch | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:36 am   How could they have booked all the tickets, anyway? Don't they only have a certain amount of money on them? |
Fruitbat | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:40 am   Airlines will hold a reservation for 24 hours without payment. They could have booked every available seat but I question whether that would have worked anyway. Airlines over sell flights all the time to compensate for no shows. I would think they would pay little attention to a held reservation without payment! |
Car54 | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:53 am   They seemed to have a LOT more money to throw around last night.... must be a special budget. Rob gave that lady 300 for the cell phone (smart!) one of them gave a driver $100! |
Crazydog | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 10:14 am   Seeing as there were plenty of empty seats on that plane it would have been near impossible to book all of them. But I'm glad they decided not to think more than an instant about that. |
Trinity | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 11:33 am   Since Rob & Brennan each have half a million dollars I wonder if they'll continue to be roommates. |
Mckryan | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:14 pm   Just a FYI...The top 3 are on Rosie today. I don't get Rosie until 3 PM, so I'm watching them now. I hope those of you that had it on earlier in the day didn't miss it! |
Neko | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:25 pm   I don't think they are Mick, Rosie doesn't tape the show on Fridays and the party in LA...I'm not sure about this thought, I heard it in aother thread. |
Moondance | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:26 pm   Trinity - If I won a half a million dollars, I would still want to be Rob and Brennan's roommate |
Judy | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 12:45 pm   LOL @ Moondance |
Tksoard | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:07 pm   They ARE on Rosie today!!  |
Quietstorm4 | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 01:52 pm   I just saw them on Rosie. Just happened to turn it on so I didn't see all of it, but she gave R/B & F/M trips to Hawaii. Guidos got a trip to Aspen...a Gay Ski Week. |
Wilsonatmd | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 02:29 pm   Sorry about the Rosie mistake. I read some information on another site, and thought that was correct. |
Fruitbat | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 03:46 pm   Rosie was great with all of them. Good show. The Guidos were her favorite and she had them on alone. The others shared the stage. Loved it. Guido deserved some positive vibes coming their way. |
Demented_Freak | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 03:53 pm   She had Rob & Brennan on first, alone. They were then joined by Frank & Marg. It was good to see them away from TAR. |
Squaredsc | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 07:53 pm   "guido deserved some positive vibes coming their way'? maybe the dog guido but certainly not them with the way they acted. |
Llkoolaid | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:01 pm   I couldn't decide who I wanted to win until Frank started making his negative comments about R and B and when the lawyers decided not to play dirty that sealed it and I was all for them. I couldn't help but feel real bad for Margarita though when she was so excited running to the end. I felt like crying for her when Frank said Rob and Brennan were there, she really was a great sport about it. I kept thinking do the right thing Rob and Brennan, I thought it would have been nice if they had offered a college fund for Frank and Margarita's little girl. I know that is stupid but I wanted everyone to win and Margarita seemed to be really doing this for her daughter. It was exciting being that close but I wish it wasn't. I was so happy for the lawyers because I have liked them since day 1 but my heart broke for Frank and Margarita. The only thing that would have been harder to watch was if the New York guys had been in the final 3. I would have gone nuts trying to decide who I wanted to win. I don't think the money will make as much of a difference in the lawyers lives as it would have in Frank and Margarita's or their childs. Does anyone know when the next amazing race is. I love this show. |
Hippyt | Friday, December 14, 2001 - 09:18 pm   I pretty much agree with everything you've said,Llkool. I wanted Frank and Margarita to win,but when Frank started talking "crap" about Rob and Brennan I changed my mind too. I mean come on,they played a Great race! They were never sneaky or dirty,they won Fair! The new show is slated for spring or summer,that's what I read today from a chat with one of the producers. Let's hope they put it in a better time slot this next round! |
Grooch | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 06:09 am   They may not have won the million dollars, but I believe that they have a better foundation togther as a relationship. That is worth so much more for their daughter than the million dollars. Frank & Margerita are winners, too. |
Tntitanfan | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 07:13 am   Well, Fruitbat, if Rosie liked the Guidos that makes FOUR of us! There is one other person here on the board, but I can't remember the name!! |
Muse | Saturday, December 15, 2001 - 09:22 pm   I don't think this has been posted here yet - a zap2it article that includes interviews with the final three teams. |
