OK, so that quote isn’t from the episode. It’s actually what I said to my mom the other night when she asked me who I wanted to win.
Last week: Team Cha Cha Cha was Philiminated, leading a sizeable chunk of the audience to go into “negative rooting” mode - “Oh please, don’t let that awful Charla and Mirna/Eric and Danielle win!”
Tonight: There’s only a one in three chance that that awful Charla and Mirna or that awful Eric and Danielle won’t win. Let’s watch, I guess…
Well, I’m still excited. I want BQ to win, but only 'cuz the Cha’s took a nosedive… I hate Schmirna and Eric and Danielle.
I’ve only been watching since the end of Season 6(?) - a black couple won.
I like this show and will watch until they cancel it.
The funny thing is, Otto, I was going to start the thread similarly. Something along the lines of “Oh no, not another airport!” or “Are we done yet?”
There’s probably very few flights out of Guam (one a day is my guess), so that’s not where someone’s going to have trouble. Anybody want to take a guess at where things go bad?
Well it’s about five minutes until the teams leave their last Pit stop. I, too, can barely bring myself to care. I’ll watch, though, for Phil.
I will give the Schmirnas credit for their continued skills in flight-getting. They do very well in working the airlines. I also give them credit for freaking out the others, especially Eric and Danielle. I’m still missing the Chas, so I’ve got to get my amusement where I can find it.
Yeah, I hate airport drama, but I got a good chuckle out of the “Where are Charla and Mirna? They have to be on this airplane!” scene.
Once again, the editors lie with passion. They led us to believe that Dustin and Kandace would blow up. So what happened? They realized that there was still a race to run, and resolved it (for now).
Can we please replace the editors?
Also, it seemed to me that Mirna was highly dejected at not finding an earlier flight into SFO. That just might be enough to put her off her game.
So the spoilers were right that the wretched Eric and Danielle won.
ETA that Jeremy is just as pathetic as ever.
Hopefully spending the summer pointing and laughing (or, alternately, pointing and cursing) at the Big Brother houseguests will erase this rather unpleasant taste from my mouth concerning TAR…
As soon as the editing showed the Beauty Queens making all those green lights and Eric & Danielle getting stuck in traffic, I knew that Eric & Danielle had won.
What I liked about this finish was that the win came down to a skill task, not a time-killer task nor a flight selection (or getting lucky with the waiting list).
Not only that, but it was the team everyone thought was argumentative and dysfunctional that was the only one to get the task right.
I would have liked a chance at that last task. If I was pretty confident about two of my partner’s answers (and they all seemed to get that far), that only leaves a hundred possibilities; could probably brute force it in less than ten minutes.
Now, now, there is Pirate Master in a few weeks, where I shall be bringing the snark about the contestants lack of sailing skills.
I was thinking the same thing – get each question down to 2 or 3 likely answers, then brute-force (try really really quickly) the 81 combinations.
Save me some snark, I want to rag on their lack of the piratical spirit.
Hooray!
Exactly. And they showed Dustin and Kandace’s cab pulling in first.
They do make for a much more satisfying ending. I particularly liked it when the dirty hippies won because of the flag event.
Eric must be a hell of a racer. 2nd and 1st place finishes! Nice job.
Was there something wrong with Jeremy?
Of course the team I hate the most won.
After that phone call to Jeremy does anyone else think that Danielle is Eric’s beard? Just me? OK then.
Terribly disappointing. Not only was there no celebration for Rob and Amber, but they were featured in only seventeen shots total. Seventeen. That’s not a misprint or mistake. I double checked frame by frame to be sure. (Some other jackass was wearing a white cap.) Way to piss off a large fanbase, AR.
I’m confused. What? Rob and Amber didn’t win. Why should there be more screen time of them?
This is a joke right?
Wow. That was the lamest, least dramatic finale ever. I think the ones with teams 24 hours behind were more suspenseful than that.
Yes. Yes it is.
And the less said about it, the better.
I’ve been on a TAR glurge – I only managed to watch the four previous episodes on Friday (!), where I was continually stunned at Charla and Mirna’s continuing failure to fail.
I was happy and delighted that the BQs won so many toys (I think they can now pump out as much greenhouse gases as Guam), but that’s generally a sign of a team that will fail to pull it out at the end.
Loved the final challenge. Loved it. I’d like to see more of those challenges on the race. On the final day, it’s your wits that are being taxed to the limit, not your body.
