The Amazing Race- Returns November 4th

[BriarRose0708]

I was VERY happy with the outcome ... I was pulling for TK and Rachel for the last half of the race and I'm just thrilled that they pulled it off.

You know it's interesting how much TK and Rachel reminded me of the hippies from a season or two ago. I don't think it's any coincidence that teams that seem to keep the peace well and get along without arguing have a strong tendancy to finish well at TAR.

I agree!

I really loved the game this season, and I am very happy for TK and Rachel. I wonder if they'll to the talk show circut now that the finale has aired. It would be fun to see them on Leno or Conan.

My sister and I have talked about what it would be like to go on the Race, since she has traveled extensively through Europe and I have experience in Latin America, and we have a close relationship. But, we're stubborn Italians and would probably kill each other and argue through the whole first leg. We'd look like Nate and Jen. And we're not that exciting, which doesn't make good tv. So we're content just watching!

Finally a team I like won!!

I like how TK said that he was proud that he and Rachel never compromised the integrity of their relationship during the race, and it brought the closer to be able to work together.

Oh, it would have been priceless for them to cut to a picture of Nathan and Jennifer when he was saying that! I agree that winning the race (and the million dollars) couldn't have happened to a nicer couple. And it was very touching what they all said about each other, although I winced a bit when Ronald said that he was saying "I love you" to Christine and finally meaning it (or something like that). I really don't think he's a bad guy at all, just not used to expressing the "softer" side of himself. What was so nice was that all the teams that played out this final leg were all so encouraging to each other and genuinely seemed to be having fun.

I am also happy that TK and Rachel won. I was a little disappointed I found out before I watched the show. Since they are from Orange County, I ended up having to put together a clip of the show at work, so I found out that way. I will still go home and watch the episode later today.

that sort of stinks to know before hand, but it was a good ending to a good season!

Yeah!!! I was really excited about the outcome. All 3 teams were nice and deserving, but TK and Rachel were my favorites all season (ok, they were tied with the goths, but still!) so I was hopefull that they'd succeed. Rachel did a really great job at the road block! And it really is good to see a nice team win.

Funny, that pretty much cemented my opinion that the guy's a jerk. How insensitive and stupid do you have to be to say something like on national television, for heaven's sake??

I thought he was a total tool and I'm really glad he didn't win. I'm just feel very bad for Christine that she's had to grow up with such miserable excuse for a father.

I just didn't fall for all that, "Oh, I'm a changed man" garbage ...

But are you happy TK and Rachel won, Ian?

I didn't take it like that at all for how he meant that. I think he saw her for the wonderful person that she is and he sees her as more than just his daughter. And I am guessing that he was a more reserved parent, and not demonstrative in his affections. Some people say I love with you by actions, like providing the things you need for survival, etc.

I know we only get to see a small window into their relationships, and that window is manipulated by the producers of the show. But if you looked in her face and her eyes, I believe that she was seeing her dad as a changed man. She was very happy and very emotional, and he was too. I thought it was beautiful.

I know what you mean this might be the first time I was routing for the winning team. I would have been happy for any of the final three. I was originally routing for Kynt and Vyxen, but I liked both the alt. couples.

Yay!!! I'm very happy with the outcome!

I was afraid that Gramps was going to give Nick a hard time from not getting the bags for most of the leg. He sure did come down hard on him!

It seems like a hard challange that Rachael won at. I think that was a "make it or break it" deal. I was practically jumping up and down and when I saw that Rachael figured it out first!

That's the way I saw it too, Donna. They both looked so happy with each other at the end of the race. And I do think he was trying to change, as evidenced by the way he treated her after the last challenge. She was upset and apologizing for not solving it sooner and he said "Don't be sorry. You did good." That was a lot different than the way he might have handled it in the first half of the race.

But are you happy TK and Rachel won, Ian?

Yes, ma'am!

[MNNHFLTX]

Yes, ma'am!

Sorry to make you repeat yourself--I missed your earlier post.
