Two hour season finale next week.

Boston and Dish: WSBK (236 on Dish) will be running the Amazing Race from 9-11 PM ET/6-8 PM PT also.

Next week on The Amazing Race:
Spoiler:
* Facing a difficult challenge, one Team member bursts into tears.
* While two other Teams have safely booked flights back to the United States, one Team panics when they find themselves unable to leave Vietnam.
* One person's partner sides with a competing Team against that person in a stressful situation.


The next Amazing Race premieres in late January.

Where did you hear / read that? That is great news that it's coming on so soon.

I pick the brothers to win.

Flo is so repulsive, but it's good that they are one of the last 3 teams. It gives me someone to really root against. Though Zach is partially at fault too. He should tell her to shut her f'ng mouth and remind her that he is the one person on their team that has kept their team in the race.

What the hell has Flo done, except whine and be degrading to Zach and cosy with the one twin. Now that the twins are gone, she could care less about them. It should be interesting to see if they have even gone out on a date after the race ended.

Another season so soon. That's odd. But I would love to watch another season. This season is definitely great. Sure some of the couples were indistinguishable in the beginning but now the couples are more familiar and you have those you want to root to win and those you root to lose.

I vote Flo and Zach, seeing as whenever I voted them to be ejected, they won, so following that logic, they will come last, and I think oh brother can take Terian

I'm guessing Ken and Gerard will take it all. Teri and Ian just don't have what it takes, and Flo and Zach only have one member who is actually doing anything.

I just checked that link...the show doesn't return until late February.

I HATE FLO!!!!!

defintely cool that its coming back so soon for #4. this has easily become my favorite reality show, passing survivor. i didnt think that would happen but it did...by alot.

i think the whole premise of a race aroudn the world sounds so fun. plus theres no voting out people...you have to earn your wins.

most games shows are like 'ok on the count of 3, race across the set 20 feet, do a ask and race back...first team wins'

this is like 'ok on the count of 3, race 4000 miles to another country on the OTHER SIDE of the world do a task, first team wins'

Team Baldwin, I think will win.
They beat Flo and Zach in a sprint. They can take out Ian and Terri, I believe.
From the previews, it does not sound like the race to the finish will be as close as last years.

I voted for Ken & Gerrard.
I hope they win. I can't stand Teri & Ian.
Flo is annyoing with the constant complaining and crying but she has a nice rack !

Last night's detour and roadblock was pretty easy.
Teri & Ian were helped by a great cab driver.
They didn't do anything that great by themselves.
When they have to drive, find locations or run by themselves they do poorly.

I think their age will hurt them in the final episode.

Ken & Gerrard have to be considered the favorites now.
They have 3 #1 finishes, 3 #2 finishes and 3 #3 finishes out of 11 legs of the race.

Flo & Zach have 1 #1, 5 #2's and 2 #3's.
Teri & Ian have 2 #1's (FF and last night) and 1 #3 finish.

Ken & Gerrard never fight though as opossed to the other 2 teams who are always fighting.

I love this show.
I hope they put out the dvd's for each show, I would buy them.

This show has supassed Survivor for me as well...not as predictable. The only problem is the timeslot puts it up against Junkyard Wars

I say Ken and Gerard.

The affiliate that I watch this show through is not airing it next week! I don't know how I am going to be able to see it. I guess that I am going to have to try to download it from IRC or something. Unless a fellow fan would like to tape it and send it to me (hint, hint!)

I am not in Boston, but we get the Boston channels for CBS. However, we don't get the one that it is going to be shown on instead.

Argh!

Not predictable at all like Survivor. Time for that show to be put out of its misery. TAR is the ultimate road trip.

And too bad for the Doublemint Twins.

If you have a season pass to TAR on TIVO, you may have to manually add the season finale. For some reason, the finale wasn't on my season pass. Verify this so as not to miss the conclusion.

That's wierd, big whoppa. It has been on mine a few days now.

Do you usually tivo something right before or after the amazing race which has a higher priority? That may be why.

My vote is on Ken and Gerard. They've had the most fun during the race.

Runner up.... Teri and Ian. Ian is a loud mouth, but, from the last couple of episodes, it when they were wayyyy behind that he was the loudest. Notice how humble Ian was when they were in Vietnam

Pick to lose... Zach and Flo. Main reason: Flo.

Although, it would be interesting to see Ian and Flo paired up.

Oh, actually, that may be the reason. I have Ed on a season pass along with TAR although I can't recall the priority off hand. I also had to manually add the season finale. Don't want to miss the final race with all the 'LOSERS' cheering them on.

Gotta agree that this show has passed Survivor. Survivor has been a bit boring while Amazing Race seems fresh still. Should be fun tonight.

I always thought that this show has been better than Survivor ever since it first aired. I have a friend taping it for me tonight (I HOPE!) since I have no ither way of seeing it (damn telethon!). Gotta avoid this thread until I see it...
