I wonder if the other teams would have had a better time if the clue was Navigator on the Enterprise?

I was thinking that, but I don't know if the teams are nerdy enough for that to have made a difference.

Deaf kid plays the blind (u-turn) card.

Seen it all now

I liked the Hillbilly Team. I like it when people who would never have the opportunity or ambition to travel get caught up in these shows. It makes for nice variety from the standard yuppy / hot couple tandems that end up being the final 6 weeks.

I'm cheering for Maggie and Luke, with the stuntmen next.

That would explain why I didn't know ... we watched the first episode in a group setting and several members of the group were unable to keep their yappers shut.

Sucks about last night, I really liked that team. At first I didn't like the idea of the blind uturn because the old way really painted one team as a ###### team. I see the point of it though, as it's more enticing to be able to do it in secret, but at the same time it isn't hard to figure out who did it.

He wrote it and was also in it. He plays Dewey's (Jack Black) roommate.

Brilliant use of the U-Turn to eliminate a very strong team. You can't help but cheer for Margy and Luke.

Victor's such a dick. He's going to get burned sometime, and it'll be much worse than being a complete idiot about following markers that don't look anything like the game markers.

Team Victory is victorious again.

I really like Mel and Mike. They actually pay attention and figure things out, even thought they're not the best physically adept team.

I wonder how close the Flight Attendants actually were at the end? They made it look really close, but I find it hard to believe considering they were in last place through the whole leg and had to do the speed bump.

Pretty good show this week. Mel and Mike got eliminated but I have to say they were a much better team then I thought they would be.

Also I have to say that getting to pet a tiger would just be awesome.

Well the final 3 teams are ready to race for the million $$$$....quite a pissy end for one team tonite!

Ice · 05-03-2009, 09:52 PM

Why would you stop to pee? You've got to be kidding me!

bigtmac19 · 05-03-2009, 09:55 PM

That has to be the dumbest mistake ever.

kermitology · 05-03-2009, 10:12 PM

You piss yourself for a million dollars, and don't be such a wuss when it comes to water.

Thats what I told my wife...Id be pissing my pants literally if I was that close to the end. DUMB DUMB DUMB.

I've been watching this show since the very first series and have been waiting for someone to be eliminated because they needed a bathroom break or needed to grab something to eat.

And finally it happened. The wife and I were laughing like crazy at that ending. You had one team with a player who could not possibly go on another 5 minutes and then go the washroom after being checked in. The same team switched roadblock tasks TWICE!

And then you had another team that first went to the wrong opera house and then after finding the right place ignored locals and what not telling them to go back to the opera house for 3 or 4 hours (they had been searching for 5 hours they said when they decided to double back).

Two stupid teams that I've been surprised made it as far as they did. Goes to show the casting was pretty weak this time around.

Not sure who I'm cheering for. The chinese team i don't much like but they have been superb racers, the deaf kid annoys me...I realize he's deaf and all but he's a complete mamas boy and then you have the two girls. Based on bra size I'm going for the girls.

^ I'm officially rooting for Tammy and Victor, Luke and Margie are a distant second and the girls...should not even be in the final 3 IMO they're just rude, ignorant, obnoxious cheerleaders. (Okay, well that one chick is (Jamie??))

Agree with this. Their mentality towards other cultures is quite shocking and redneck'ish.

It's almost like they don't realize not everyone in the world is a white English speaking American.

Yeah, its one thing to be impatient and frustrated. Its another thing to insult entire countries with rude comments as if the whole world is required to know and understand English. I can't stand those girls, they won't win, they're not smart enough. They'll blame their taxi driver though.

I agree for the most part. I don't think Cara is such a b!tch as Jaime is. When all the nasty comments come out, it is almost always Jaime that is saying it. But then again, I think Cara is hot as fack, and Jaime is fugly (although she has a great rack).

Either way, I want Tammy and Victor, or Margie and Luke to win.

Russic · 05-04-2009, 10:51 PM

I'm cheering for Tammy and Victor. Ya Victor is an ass, but Tammy is cool. I will not in any way cheer for either the mamas boy or Jaime and Cara. I feel bad for Cara, she seems ok, but Jaime ranks up there with the most annoying racers I've ever seen. To go to other countries and then be shocked when nobody caters to your every whim. I can't wait for the finale (some people skip the "next week on ..." clips, so I'll put it in white), looks like a driver who can speak English finally gives her the s*** she deserves.

Stopped to pee. Unbelievable. What a selfish wuss. Her sister drags her all over the world and then doesn't even throw a punch when she can't hold her bladder for a million bucks. That woman is a saint. I really liked that team too.

Cheese · 05-10-2009, 07:36 PM

well another season ends...and seeing as the west has yet to see it I wont spill the beans....but its probably the most boring finale Ive seen...ho-hum.
