I checked my local TV listings and saw that the finale was only going to be 1 hour.
Am I mistaken in remembering that other final episodes have been 2 hour marathon legs?
That said, I cant fully root for any specific team, but the Brothers seem like the worst of the three remaining options…
If I was a betting man, I think I would pick Brian and Ericka, just because Brian seems like the most intelligent Racer left, and usually intelligence plays strongly in the final tasks. (I still think Ericka is about the worst single Racer left, not to mention a shrill prima dona, but she will continue to ride Brian’s coattails)
Some finales have been longer than an hour, but not all.
Chances are that there will be a bunching at the airport because I can’t see that there would be many flights from Prague to
Las Vegas
so any advantage the Malibu Ken and Barbie had going into the lag will be negated. Whoever does the tasks the best should win, which should rule out the brother
There should be no football delays for most of the country.
That outcome satisfies me. Didn’t love 'em but they totally deserved it.
However, did anyone else wonder about Meghan’s comment in the post-race interview that Cheyne is a great friend. Oh, how I winced. Sent to Friendsville, Spike.
Anyone else notice how the workers at the Cirque du Soleil task were smirking at that whiny, self centered bitch Ericka when she finally completed the stunt
Brian seems like a decent guy; I hope for his sake that Ericka is much different in private than the loathesome public persona she has shown on the Race.
At the end when she was talking about hoping that Brian had proved to her family that he deserves her, I was thinking to myself, “Good lord…if putting up with your near-Floness doesn’t prove his worth, nothing will.”
Heh. Seriously, though…has it been that long since Monaco was tabloid fodder? Am I just so old that nobody remembers the Monegasque royal family being a staple of the Star and the National Enquirer?
I was pretty impressed with the way Megan and Cheyne showed up last to the chip counting challenge and smoked the other teams so easily. Just showed to me how much they really did deserve the win.
Yeah, I think the right team won. Anything else would have felt unfair.
But man, I lost some respect for them in this leg. Besides not knowing where Monte Carlo is (which Brian knew instantly, by the way), Cheyne thought “Mr. Las Vegas” might be Frank Sinatra?
Even if they don’t know Wayne Newton, wouldn’t a living performer be a better guess?
