All 3 shows had this. Remember the AR 2 when one of the teams faked getting out of the cabs to try and trick the other team following them in their cab ?
The entire race comes down to whomever's cab driver is faster or knows a shortcut.
The finish line should be in walking or running distance of the last clue to eliminate the cabs.

I agree with everything you said..The problem is that they are so freakin tired from running to the last clue..
I don't think you could have them run ANOTHER mile after to a finish line..Somebody would keel over!!

I read somewhere today that Flo and Zach were penalized an hour for getting help rowing the boats and the teams that did the bike were also penalized for getting help. I believe it was an interview with Flo and Zach on FansOfRealityTv.com.

last night i taped the finale, and got all excited to watch...only to realize my cable went out and i missed about AN HOUR in the middle! argh that sucked.
anyways, im kinda glad now that i know. when i saw flo and zach run around that corner i got sick. honestly i did. never in my life have i been so involved in a tv show and care so much. and never have i ever felt so disturbed and disgusted.
flo is an evil person. she deserves nothing in life, let alone a million dollars. if i ever met her i would slap her silly.
shes a bitch. shes a ho. shes f***** up and i hate her. i dispise her and i hope she gets into a car accident. sorry thats harsh but i cant stand her. shes just a horrible person in every sense of the word.

Argh! I haven't watched the finale yet and I had the Caroline Rhea show on in the background. She said who the winner was before I heard anything about any of them coming on the show otherwise I would've switched channels.
Oh well, I'll watch it anyway. I had a feeling after last week it wasn't going to go the way I wanted. On a positive note, Flo called herself a lunatic and seemed sincere about being grateful for having Zach with her. I still think after their obligations to the show are over he should dump her. Obviously she is never going to think of him as more than a friend, and if she does it's only because they won all that money. He should just take his half and find someone nice.
Teri said she and Ian were closer than ever because if she could survive that anything else that comes along should be easy. I wasn't paying too close of attention, but it was a pretty good interview since Caroline is a fan of the show. She introduced Teri and Ian as the happily married couple

Well I finally watched the finale and either Ken and Gerard got screwed by their cab driver that took them to Lincoln Park from the fountain or they took too long to get a cab. I'm guessing the former because my company picnic last Summer was at Lincoln Park and I got lost There goes my hopes of ever being a contestant
I didn't like that it mostly came down to a bunch of cab rides at the end, but it was a heck of a race. They should've made them go to Pike Place Market and find something in there. That place is always packed and it's layed out kinda funny.
I do feel better about Flo and Zach winning now after seeing what he had to put up with in the last two legs, she was worse than ever. It was kind of interesting knowing they were going to win and the whole time thinking, "How the heck are they going to catch up? She's quitting for the third time!" I hope Flo gave Zach a little more than 50%. Even if it's just 10 grand or something, or just buy him some really expensive gift because she owes him big if she ever wants him to speak to her again. The one thing I'll giver her credit for is going down the zip line without any arguement.

But at least we got a great show in Amazing Race, which I see running for many years to come, especially since they are able to go to many places in the world where most of us will never have a chance to go.
And I say keep the Flo's and the Will's and The Team Guido's coming, because it gives us someone to root against and makes the ending that much more exciting.

I think they need to make the show more of a race...every ep they have some point that bunches the groups back up again so instead of being a race, it becomes more of a...well, i don't know what...it rewards you for not screwing up, as opposed to exceling.

The Amazing Race sucked me in right away, while Lost, which had a great premise, never seemed to become exciting. And of course, lack of viewers, was its demise.

So I just finished this season...
...WOW...Flo...wow...Flo...Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Flo...wow. Zach deserved 10 million for what he endured.
I wish Ken/Gerard and Zach/Flo were the two all-star teams from this season. But John Vito/Jill were a great competitive, likeable team. And Teri/Ian are sure to produce some "Ugly American" fireworks. But nothing nothing the scale of Flo's epic meltdowns. If it weren't for Zach's likeability, Flo would have drug their team down to Weaver Family levels of villainousness.
So that will always be my enduring image of TAR:Season 3...Flo going nuclear in that boat in Vietnam...wow.
So now my quest to watch the early seasons (before All-Stars starts) continues...with Season 2...
