The Amazing Race 9 -- Season Finale 2 Hours -- 5/17/2006
This is the big one. One of these three teams will win $1,000,000
BJ & Tyler - "The Hippies"
BJ & Tyler started out strong, trading first and second place finishes with Eric & Jeremy for the first five legs. Just before leaving Europe, they hit some problems and have been erratic ever since. The Hippies have been both fortunate and unfortunate, having experienced various racing mishaps but also being the only team to ever face two non-eliminations prior to reaching the final three. Will their unpredictable results cost them or will they rediscover their early race dominance and maintain their current momentum?
Ray & Yolanda - "Ray & Yolanda"
It would be an understatement to say that Ray & Yolanda are the surprise team in the final three. Aside from their first place finish in Darwin, Ray & Yolanda have languished in the back of the pack ever since Brazil. On paper they would seem unstoppable - both smart and athletic - but navigation has been a constant struggle for this team. The one thing they are good at: avoiding last place. Can Ray & Yolanda make the push and once again do more than avoid last place?
Eric & Jeremy - "Frat Boys"
Never has there been a team on The Amazing Race as consistently good as Eric & Jeremy. Finishing first or second on all but one leg of the race, the Frat Boys have not faltered the way their rivals the Hippies did. After their hiccup in the desert of Oman, they have maintained their awesome consistency and landed themselves in the final three. Will Eric & Jeremy seal the deal or will they suffer the same fate as past great racing teams Colin & Christie, Kris & Jon and Rob & Amber?

I wouldn't mind seeing any of the 3 teams win. I was just glad MoJo was out last week, they were the only team left that wasn't deserving, IMO.
The Frat Boys have played the best game so far, without a doubt. They haven't really pissed anybody off, they've been having a good time, and they've won the most legs (haven't they?).
Hippies did really good at the beginning of the race, but their asses were saved 2x by non-elim legs. Other than their thing with MoJo, they haven't annoyed anybody too much either.
Ray and Yolanda, being the only "couple," (although the other 2 teams may be as well, with some of the things they've done and said
) are the ones I'd probably most like to see win. Although they haven't had the best race, they have continued to get better with each leg, and have seemingly made the most progress from a relationship standpoint.
Either way, should be enjoyable without any team to hate this go-round.

I think Eric & Jeremy will try so hard to leave everyone else in the dust that they'll do something stupid and blow it (like their cab trick backfiring). Ray & Yolanda seem to have had better luck navigating lately, but I'll go with the hippies for the win.

I have to go with the Hippies, they have overcome a lot of mistakes lately to make it to the final 3. It good to have a final were I would not be mad if any of the 3 teams won.

I've liked Ray and Yolanda since day 1 since Yolanda is a Gator, but BJ and Tyler grew on me also and I hope one of them wins it...but, I voted for the frat boys because they have been very consistent and they have raced a good game, so I wouldn't mind if they win.

I'm picking the hippies even though Ray & Yo are becoming a threat.

I'd love to see Ray and Yolanda win, but I could stand it if it were Eric & Jeremy. The frat boys are very good racers and they no longer irritate me quite as much as they did in the early legs. I even find myself liking them occasionally.
As long as the hated hippies don't win, I'll be happy.
