And the winner is
HalifaxDrunk

Nick and Starr pull it out and take the win.

It was a pretty decent season, and another one is in the books.

Anyone else notice that Dallas and his Mom weren't at the finish line. I wonder how long it took him to get out of Russia.

Yup, I bet when the cameras were off, Toni gave her son what for!

Apparently, they were on a talk show last week and said that the cab driver turned his passport (she still had hers) in to the American Embassy the next day. By the time he got it back, they couldn't get an early enough flight back to the States to be there for the finish line.

He also said that he and Starr are now dating, although they live on different sides of the country, (now that she has half a million dollars, she might be able to afford to move closer).

Well disappointing result, but it ended up being a decent season.

After the first few episodes I found there were about 3-4 decent teams and they all went out early (the nerds, the blonds, the black couple and Dallas and Toni) however for pure comedic value Dandrew ended up being great and even Tina wasn't nearly as bad by the end of the race.

The last leg was really poorly down (by the show) in my view as it relied on a lot of luck rather than skill or ability.

After hating Nick all season long I found him to be a million times more tolerable than Starr on this leg. Hopefully we find out that they cheated somehow and don't get to keep the money but that seems like very wishful thinking on my part.

I found Tina to be so bad all season that she pretty much made me want to hit mute whenever they were on.

Good season - some really great tasks - but Tina ruined it.

The right team won.

I'm glad Ken & Tina didn't win. Tina's such a bitch to Ken. I can't believe that Ken, who seem to have a lot going for him, wants her back. Now that they're back together again I'm sure his life will be hell. We know who will be wearing the pants in that family.

Dan and Andrew (aka Dumb and Dumber), didn't deserve to be in the final 3. The only reason they got that far was pure luck.... no skill involved at all.

Woohoo! I officially win my 3rd Amazing Race contest among my friends and family.

I made the joke when the show was over that Toni and Dallas were still stuck in Russia, guess I was right!

I enjoyed the last leg just because the two teams that were in it seemed to be so evenly matched. It's hard to tell how heavy the producers are editing the show, but it looked to be pretty much neck and neck to whole way.

Even though Tina did manage to get a little more tolerable as the show moved along I still found her insufferable. I thought Tina's husband seemed like a cool guy ... I was hoping the race would show those two that their efforts may be better served elsewhere.

Shame that Dallas had such a bone-headed leg heading into the final 3. Dandrew were just so horrible their chances were pretty much obliterated on the very first cab ride.

I'm already looking forward to the next season so I can hopefully disagree with Moon some more
