Just gotta' say.. I am so happy with the final 3 teams. I will happy with whoever wins but those are my favourite 3. (Although I do like the one hockey girl much more than the other.)

I too like the final 3 teams. Should be a good race to the finish next week. I think it is the hockey gal's race to lose at this point - they are just so strong physically and are dominating in the tasks. Would love to see Mickey and Pete win - they are so joyful and fun. But I'm still cheering for Ryan and Rob since Ryan is a friend of a friend of mine. I feel a sense of loyalty. I find it interesting watching the hockey gals and how when they have to work together on a task, they aren't that good together. Snapping at each other, acting like they want to throw in the towel, etc. For two people who have been teammates for a long time and grew up playing a team sport, it's interesting behaviour. I would have expected a closer relationship. Maybe the stresses of the race are bringing out the not so best in each of them. However, even with a bit of dysfunction, they pull together and seem almost unbeatable. Would love to see them take on some of the US Amazing Race all stars at a later date.

Well, that was fun. But the "after the race" show was not so enjoyable. I was a bit surprised that Rex/Bob got bleeped after Pierre/Michel mouthed off at them. Immature behaviour by both teams. Lousy end to a great season. So enjoyed watching Mickey and Pete get into their trucks and drive away - with their "chauffuers"!

Is that what happened? I somehow missed what was going on and thought maybe it was the twins that were bleeped. I also thought that was in poor taste for them to try to defend their actions instead of answering the question they were asked. I am so happy for Mickey and Pete. I think they were the team that would appreciate their winnings the most. They are just so cute. I bet they won't have any problem finding girlfriends. It's too bad that yet again a bad taxi driver may have been detrimental to a team losing. Ryan and Rob seemed to have done their tasks well once they finally got there. Bummer.

I didn't realize it was Rex and Bob that got bleeped. I thought it was Pierre and Michele. Regardless, the brothers seemed to cement the opinion that they are not so nice. Loved that Mickey and Pete won. Good sports, nice guys.

Great ending! This was a really enjoyable season and ending . Even Suki and Jindar (sp?) came across as really nice. Why can't the US TAR be more positive like this? Pierre and Michel would fit in there well. I couldn't believe their attitude. I thought it was miscommunication that they Uturned Audrey and Alain .....but it was sheer nastiness!!

Loved loved loved the whole season! It has to have been the happiest best winner, for me, that I have seen. I was so thrilled the boys won. Really great season, great tasks and I learned some things. (The library of congress is beautiful). The final task was a good one. Definitely TAR US should take note and up their tasks, especially after the dismal finale last season. Can't wait for next season.

And Jon did a great job as well. I loved how excited he was at the finish line.
