We are sorry the gay guys lost and had to leave- they were entertaining. My wifes faves are #1 the nurses, #2 the D&D dudes and mine are #1 D&D dudes and #2- nurses. > [@muldoonthief](#): > > Speaking of which, am I the only one who hates Jonathan and Ana, especially Jonathan? Yep, in this episode he turned into abusive guy again, yelling and belittling his poor wife. ---

What do you bet that he will find some justification for why it’s his wife’s fault he dropped that tile? ---

I have a question. I have not watched Amazing Race in a LONG time. We grew tired how they always tie them all up by having them get to events that don’t open for 8-12 hours and so forth. Has the show improved its rules over the last 10+ years? What has changed? ---

I and my friend were so happy that the gamers and Han & Holden were 1, 2 last night. Not happy with the cliffhanger and the editing. I think it was edited the way it was to make it seem that the nurses were in and that the not liked couple were out. But something makes me think it was the other way around, in which case most viewers will not be happy. Why the heck did those villagers push the car out of the ditch (a few wks ago)!!! ---

I really just want Ana to dump Jonathon at the mat, either leg will do. Even better to have them going into first for the million and have her just stop and refuse to move, telling him it’s over, she’s taking the kids and leaving. I can’t believe she allows his behavior. If the gamers finish first, and Han & Holden 2nd, I’d be okay. Or really, anybody but Jonathon getting the million. He doesn’t deserve money after the way he’s belittled Ana, and bitched and moaned through the whole race. StG ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > We grew tired how they always tie them all up by having them get to events that don’t open for 8-12 hours and so forth. No, this year ist was generally just a short wait- in one case it was five minutes for the two leaders. > [@StGermain](#): > > I really just want Ana to dump Jonathon at the mat, either leg will do.

That would be fantastic!! ---

I’m okay with the finish, although J&A’s “we’ve really learned how to work together” made me gag. StG ---

Yeah, I hated that some unlucky driving got the nurses eliminated after they had such a lead. Still happy Jonathan and Ana didn’t win, though I guess they didn’t catch any “You’re a terrible partner. Why can’t you do things perfectly the very first time you attempt them” statements on camera. Definitely a fun final leg, and neat final challenge, even if everyone got it right on the first attempt - it seems the only way you could fail the check was if you get the signs in the wrong order. It seems that J&A are still blaming editing, and also claim he’s now been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > Yeah, I hated that some unlucky driving got the nurses eliminated after they had such a lead. That was tragic, but I loved that there were so many navigational things that could trip up a “non-stick-shift” or “confused-by-paper-map” young’un. It made things exciting when you knew that a team in the lead could suddenly get lost. This was probably my favorite season so far. The most likeable couples… …and our eye-rolling at Jonathan brought my wife and I closer together, united against a common enemy.
