OKay,CBS is hyping a surprise ending we won't believe again! The only thing I can come up with is maybe somebody else screws up the FF again! That would be a first,and pretty surprising. Any thoughts?

I don't know how anything could top the laywers win against Margurite and her husband on home turf. Every detail could not have been staged any better....the lawyers train just pulling away as Mar and husband arrive on the platform......the tense wait, hoping the lawyers won't catch up......their joy at winning only to see the lawyers cheering them on to receive second place.

I don't remember last year at all.

Or maybe two teams are eliminated?
Or maybe a team gets disqualified?

Maybe a tie?

Both teams are so close at the end, that they decide to share the prize and they all step on the mat at the same time?

I think something was said somewhere about how there's a confrontation at the pit stop and that it is controversial. Maybe the last two teams tie. Or maybe there's a footrace between the last two teams to get to the mat. I think both team members have to be on the mat. Maybe one person from one team gets there first, but both members of the other team get there before the other team member.

or perhaps, they are messing with their minds and having one of the non-elimination legs early? They know 9 of the first 11 legs are elminations, but they assume they wouldn't have one this early.

or they have another situation like the Guidos/Momily in Race I, when a team who finished last didn't get eliminated because of a penalty....

....or the obvious front runners get overtaken by the trailing team in a very dramatic, unique way.

The Doublemint Twins win?

remember last year when some groups cut through fields and trees to get to the mat, while others stayed on the paths? the short-cutters counted as coming in ahead...because no one said 'you can't go cross country to run to the mat.' but if 'specific' instructions said, "take a bus or ride a bike" and someone took a cab, they were penalized.

maybe someone gets arrested for having her shirt off, and goes to jail without passing 'go'...

maybe the guidos show up at an airport and take the last two tickets to where these teams need to go!

maybe one twin goes for arianne and the other for aaron...

maybe a team quits....

or, maybe all of us who sucked last time will get everything right tonight!! THAT would be a surprise!!

It could be non-elimination.

It's nice that CBS is huping a surprise ending...but without knowing what it is, my poor self has no clue how she would change her Mediawh*re answers...

Darn it all to Spain.

I'm confused. Is the surprise ending for tonight or for the final episode?

Do they end in the Everglades where they started? Maybe somebody gets eaten by an alligator. That would be a surprise. Makes me hope Ian is in the finals.

I have the same question as Grooch does. Anybody know the answer?

maybe a team gets separated and don't get to the pit stop at the same time! so the one has to stand there and wait for the person and hope they don't come in last! and that person holding up the teammate might be fast, might be slow, or might be half fast...half-assed, sounds like to me.

another possibility of what might happen is people think it's non-eliminating and don't rush; or two teams get there at the same time and have a fist fight, only to find out it would have been a non-elimination had they not penalized themselves for getting physical and now both teams are eliminated totally or have a 6 hour delay.

hey! maybe kathy dumps michael and walks off the show...leaving him stranded on a 3.6 foot high hill he's afraid to rappel down ;>)

Here is what it says at the CBS site if that helps:
Next Week on THE AMAZING RACE
A Team crashes their truck into a pole.
One Team taunts the others at an airport, prompting a head-to-head confrontation between them and another Team for the entire leg. Who will come out on top?
Every little decision makes a world of difference when several Teams panic and sprint to the finish line in an all-out race to avoid elimination

who can't drive well? i know the legal eagles didn't have the sense to get off the cart before the donkey was unhitched...

who has been making disparaging remarks? aaron and arianne about the twinkies...

who sprints? who would be at the tail end of the race for the day? i guess the cop and fireman, teri and ian, and ken and gerard might have to fight it out at the end. i can hear ian screaming at teri already: "dang it, WOMAN, i said to run!" and then she can say, "It's 22 years too late for that!"

I think the truck crash is the girl lawyers from the commercial I saw.

Twinkies??!! Love that name for them! I am afraid they might win the game since the last 2 years winners have been 2 boring men

"One Team taunts the others at an airport, prompting a head-to-head confrontation between them and another Team for the entire leg."

--------------------------------------------------

I think it was the last episode one of the men from the young couples seemed a tad po'd one of the other guys was taking a leadership role (they stopped on the side of the road to discuss what they were going to do.) Maybe this was a sneak peak at what was brewing into this upcoming confrontation. It seems to me even though these couples are working together (and trashing the twins) so far, it won't be long before they turn on each other over bruised egos and competitiveness. I'm guessing the surprise ending has to do with this.
