I guess the other racers are teasing Big Easy now. Megan said this to Flight on his Facebook page:
Good job Flight Time. Ahhh so sad watching you guys lay on those steps. Cant wait to see you and Franz in NYC in a few days. Love you both!

I felt so bad for the Globe Trotters last night. I was hoping they would keep trying to solve the FRANZ puzzle, but it was not to be.
I was really hoping for the Bickering Brothers to get the boot. They get on my last nerve.
And what's with Lady Attitude? I know she's a beauty queen, but i don't know how Brian puts up with that.
I'm rooting for Megan & Cheyne because they are playing an excellent game so far.

That's what I remember too.
I could not believe that Big Easy could not solve that word puzzle and that the Globetrotters opted for the time penalty. Why not go out trying rather than sitting around on some steps for four hours???
Other notes--I think Brian and Ericka somewhat redeemed themselves on this leg. I was glad that Brian didn't give in to Ericka wanting to switch tasks after spilling all their beer on that first go-round. Can you imagine her trying to tote one of those whatever-they-were coated in plaster? Also I decided that Dan is mainly the one that annoys me on his team (although I did not blame him one bit for not telling Flight Time the answer--I mean, they're approaching the end of the race and no one should give it away to another team!)
The producers of the show have to have set up one of those "equalizing" situations (everyone waiting for the same flight at the airport, for example) for the last leg of the trip, otherwise it appears that Megan and Cheyne are a slam-dunk for winning. Wonder where in the states the race ends?

Yeah, I was pretty much slack jawed ( ) over that whole episode with the Globetrotters. For Easy to think he couldn't come up with that word in less than four hours ... that's just ridiculous. I hate to say it, but they deserve to go home after that decision.
Think about it ... he knew "F" was the first letter. From there it becomes a very simple exercise of just running down the balance of the combinations. I loved those guys, but they were not very bright. They struggled mightily any time there was a brain teaser involved.
Anyway, I'm totally behind Meghan and Cheyne now. They're running an incredible race and they far and away deserve to win over the other two teams.
At first I was kinda okay with Sam and Dan, but the truth is Dan now irritates me beyond belief and I'm actively rooting against them. I feel bad for Sam, because I think he's a really good guy. But Dan? Not so much ... plus they've been pretty shady these last two legs.

The trailer from next week's episode seems to indicate they end in Vegas.

Big Easy says in an interview or two that he wrote "FRANZ" down on his list fairly early and thought it was one of the first few he submitted. Said he was exhausted and the ringing phones made it hard to concentrate.

I thought I heard him mention something about that during the show. I'm sad to see them go - they sure made the trip interesting!

I was bummed to see the Globetrotters out. If I remember his first letter was F so I figured he would get it really quickly. I told DH that's good he can now stick the R after it and get the word, but alas no.
What the heck were they thinking on taking the 4 hour penalty.

I was sorry to see the Globetrotters get eliminated. I was hoping the brothers got the ax this week. Their golem had a broken arm; I wouldn't have accepted it!

All in all a very satisfying ending to a great season of TAR. This may go down as one of my favorite groups of racers.
Can't wait til next season starts ... should only be a little over a month!!

Kudos to Meghan and Cheyne, they were always respectful of each other and they never lost their temper with each other, unlike some couples from past seasons.
I think Brian should have bounced his wife right out the roof!

They fought .. and she complained and they made mistakes just like everyone. They were never my favorites but they sailed through the last task and totally deserved the win for they way they ran the race.
I like both the other teams and think that the stress of the race can make people do crazy stuff, that doesn't mean they aren't good people or didn't try. Dan and Sam ran the race, and did what they needed to do at the time ... they kind of changed the face of the race a bit. I always found it strange that the people tried to be so nice to each other.

I was totally satisfied with the ending--Megan and Cheyne worked hard the entire race and never gave up, as evidenced by how many legs they won. I still find Dan annoying (or maybe it's just his voice--kind of whiny), but he and Sam deserved to be there too. Ericka was a victim of her inability to handle frustration during that Cirque de Soleil task, but at least they eventually got it done. I hope that her family sees him (Brian) as a good guy, because I think he was pretty even-keeled and patient with her.

I'm glad Megan & Cheyne won. They were a very good team. I'm also glad that Sam & Dan didn't win.
