I was so bummed at the thought that the BQ's were gonna get bumped last night. They are the only reason I'm watching right now. The drama btwn Rob and Kimberly just wears on me, and I do not like Bama and the guys are just "eh" to me. DS wants the guys to win. Little rebel. lol. <<It always amazes me that some teams act so indignant at another team's behavior, especially when they act that way themselves.>> Totally with ya on that one, velo. Rob gets soooo nutted up about the BQ's and I just can't really understand why. I mean it's a race, Rob. They are competiting AGAINST you and there are only 4 teams left.

Is it the editing, did they do something they didn't show us? The girls are competitive, yes, but I haven't seen them be nasty or mean.

He just happens to have bad luck selecting the cars. I mean they *welded* the jack into the Toyota.

Originally Posted By hopemax Ah yes, when the guys walked PAST the open travel agent, and lost their place in line. I thought that was fine. When I am in a grocery store, I don't offer my spot in line to someone I see walk past the line I get in and then come back, so I definetly wouldn't expect it in a race for $1 million dollars.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling I don't think the BQ's are perfect by any means. My biggest beef with them is that they seem to take too much pleasure in others misfortunes. Like last episode they were practically giddy that Rob and Kimberly got a flat. They were kinda giggly about it iirc. I guess for me they are just the best of what's left. lol. And re DS - he's 7, he wants the guys to win *because* they're guys and guys are cool. Girls have cooties. (did I do the ** right?)

Originally Posted By velo well, dang! We've got a finale with 3 teams I really can't stand! Oh well, it's happened before. I just can't understand how the "lyns" can get through their challenges so quickly! Clever editing made it look like everyone was so neck to neck but the tomato challenge was 9 miles out of town. Must have been some heavy traffic for the teams that did the "giant" processionals.
Originally Posted By mrichmondj I'm really disgusted with this show now. Of the final 3 teams, only 1 (the models) has shown any capacity to win some of these events and be competitive. I really fail to see the point in some of these rounds for teams to get ahead when they are all essentially equalized and given no credit for previous victories when they all have to get on the same flights at the airport and have their race clocks reset regardless of how well or poorly they have raced.
Originally Posted By Rsey103 I was unable to see the episode, but... Someone told me that in the previews for the finale, Bama looked beaten and the other two teams looked happy. That says to me that Alabama won The Amazing Race! As the previews almost always leave the wrong impression..... At the start of the race I picked the Models to win, although the Cho's and Kentucky were my personal favorites...
