## I was kind of surprised that it’s only an hour—Were other finals also just an hour, or were there 2 hour finals in the past??? No matter, please God, let the cowboys win, or barring that, at least let it be the two brothers. Brent and Catie would be such a let down… ---

Ah! This is killing me now. After that dick move at the airport I only want the cowboys to win. At least Brent and Cate have eliminated themselves real good by forgetting everything at Lucasart. ---

What a nailbiter! Go cowboys! ( **MPB** , usually the two-hour finales are when they air the last two episodes on the last night.) ---

I hate to say it, but the move to first class was a damn smart move. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > That was one mega bitch face on the dark-headed Lesbian. She really did get owned by Catie too. I know the lesbians got the bitch edit in their last episode, but they were really getting annoying. Catie’s motivation is irrelevant, she made no secret that she’d u-turn them. They lesbians should have just got there first to stop her. ---

The brothers kicked it into high gear when it mattered most. They ran the final leg very well. After watching the other team spin around, I’m kinda surprised the cowboys took so long to figure out how to read the clue at ILM. I think that’s probably what took them out. ---

Can’t blame her, though, Caite is a blight on womankind. She’s only 20 and they bent the rules to get her on the show solely because of a famed stupid moment, and to get sabotaged by somebody like that because she didn’t like you–giving up a chance to thwart everybody’s strongest competitors to do so–must be gnawing. Besides, Carol wasn’t going to say anything until Phil set her up. The brothers did pull a dick move at Shanghai airport but the move to first class was totally legal, and I’m glad they won. They seemed to need the boost in life more than the cowboys, but I would have been happy with a cowboy win too. ---

Argh. That’s pretty much my only reaction to this. And I hate the fake suspense sometimes. Has the team that left the “put the stuff in order” challenge first ever not won? ---

I have no problem with the brothers winning, though I would have preferred the cowboys. At least it wasn’t Brent and Caite. ---

I don’t give a \_\_\_\_\_ who won out of the 3 final teams. But the lesbians just need to burn in hell. ---

Aw. I’m a little sad. The cowboys were so cool. But, I admit that the brothers outplayed them. The move to first class, figuring out the ILM trick much faster, and having notes for the memory challenge. (I had no idea you were allowed to use notes - why doesn’t everyone?!) The backpack thing was dickish, but made no difference in the outcome. I’m OK, as long as Brent and Caite didn’t get 1st. I realize they get some prize money, but at least the cowboys get more. The only person who looked like a bigger ass this season than Caite was Carol. And yeah, Caite pwned her. ---

> [@luv2draw](#): > > But the lesbians just need to burn in hell. They weren’t very likable, but I can understand their point of view. And they were honest with how they felt about Caite, instead of pretending to make up while the cameras were rolling. How many times did Caite say she wanted to quit, or call her cab driver a dumb ass? I’d be a little miffed to be taken out of the race by someone like that, too. I guess they just deserve to make each other misearble. ---

Wow that one lesbian is a spiteful bitch. The move to U-turn them was logical, if you know someone is behind you, you should U-turn them, to give you more time and make sure you don’t come in last. Kinda saddened that the cowboys didn’t win. I only wanted them to win, no one else. But seeing that “drama” at the end was pretty enjoyable. ---

That sucked, but I guess the better team can’t always win. I’m not sure if I disliked Brent and Caite or Dan and Jordan more. Jet and Cord were just too nice. The last leg really kind of sucked. There didn’t seem to be much in the tasks to allow for much movement between the teams. I also think it sucked that Dan and Jordan were able to move up to first class and gain such an advantage. ---

The only real rule involving flight qualifications is that you can’t BUY a first-class or business-class ticket. You have to buy coach. But if you can convince the airline to upgrade that ticket to first or business gratis, it’s perfectly within the rules. ---
