Synopsis:



Looking forward to tonight. I hope Tammy and Victor pull it out. I would have been pulling for Jaime and Cara, but Jaime's shitty attitude the last few legs did it for me.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I'm rooting for Tammy/Victor. Like DJariya, I would have been rooting for the cheerleaders but Jamie is too much of a shrew. Cara seems nice, though. Too bad Margie and Cara are not on a team together. I would love to see Luke and Jamie on the same team. :lol:

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I'll be rooting for Jaime and Cara. Though Victor and Tammy are most deserving.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Go team firecrotch!

Though I won't be disappointed if Tammy and Victor win, either.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Tammy looks 50 times hotter in a bikini than either of team firecrotch.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I guess I'm voting for Tammy and Victor, even though I didn't like them at the beginning. Otherwise, I hope Margie and Cara win together through some kind of new "Lane Change" twist. :P

(Actually, that would be kind of a cool twist to make teams switch-up partners for a leg or two...)

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Jamie forgot Jesus!

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I just wish Margie would have gone off on Luke like he would have gone off on her if she had done the roadblock.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I wonder if Tammy and Victor had a big lead because they couldn't even make it a dramatic race to the finish after the they completed the roadblock.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Jaime has a tramp-stamp. :lol:

And yes, Tammy is hot for a self-proclaimed geek. Her and Victor were the strongest team throughout, so this was no big surprise.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I think the girl that was telling Luke "no" needs her own show, she was very cute.

Kudos to the bikini-pig challenge designer.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Glad Margie and Luke didnt win, Cara and Jamie looked great in their bikinis, kind of a blah episode though for the finale

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

:lol:
How sweet -- the remaining former allies helping each other on the RB. Granted it wasn't a physical roadblock, but maybe Luke should have just handed the last challenge to his mom...

Thought this was going to be a walk on the beach for the sinister deaf kid, so this was unexpected...a nice come from behind win for Tammy/Victor!!! Congrats!

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I thought that was Leelee Sobieski at first.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Very pleased that Victor and Tammy won the race, though I have to say I'm disappointed they didn't air any comments from Victor about Tammy (you know it had to be a question asked of him so it was probably an editing decision).

After the early going they didn't ever seem to lose their head about things so they deserved it. It does show you how one bad leg can sink a good team though. On any normal early leg their hike into the woods would have gotten them eliminated. Thankfully for them one team screwed up far, far worse.

Jaime may be a bit of a bitch at times, but from what we saw I don't think they get that pig down the beach without her being who she is. Plus, she seemed to do better on the road block than I ever thought possible. Kudos to Jaime.

It's hard not to have a lot of respect for Margie. She carried that team basically through every leg. And her strength was the reason they were in a position to win. Unfortunately, no matter how good a memory Luke has the road block had a predictable finish, with his lack of patience sinking them. I can't say that I'm not glad that it did either. Can you imagine how insufferable it would have been if Luke won?

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I admit to laughing when Marge told Luke to stop yelling at her during their seadoo ride.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I figure that the other teams had already received word that Tammy and Victor had won at the point where they started helping each other with the surfboards.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

That seemed like a really really short final leg. It seemed kind of ironic that Luke studied so much to review where they went for all of the race but he forgot the last two legs.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

It would have been funny if Phil didn't check in Jaime and Cara and Luke and Margie and penailize them for helping each other in the roadblock.

Glad Victor and tammy won. Tammy was hot in the bikini.

Without Margie, that team wouldn't have lasted this long. Once Luke screw up, I knew he would give up. Same for Jaime.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Short indeed. I liked it better when they had the two hour season finale. I also wish they had some sort of reunion show to get some more insights about the race from the teams, like the times everyone arrived at the final roadblock, the time they left and how much did that taxi screw up cost Jamie and Cara?

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

Yeah, Luke's impatience sunk him. I think he studied each leg each night, but the final two legs he had the least amount of time to study over-and-over again.

Clearly, Victor and Tammy were most deserving. A good finish.

For anyone who needs more Amazing Race, search for The Amazing Race Asia. The first season is edited pretty bad, but seasons 2 and 3 are as good as the American version. You might see them in the usual places you can grab TV shows...

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I actually think that he got a little cocky (as he sometimes seems to do since he's seems pretty immature) and thought that he wouldn't need to review since it was the latest legs.

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

When exactly?

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

well, my team from episode one didn't win, but props to Tammy and Victor! Excellent job.

and of course I told my cousin (both of us are chinese, but he is a lawyer) and he looked them up. He likes being nosy when it comes to fellow lawyers:

of course this info was available all season, but it's fun to look after the fact...haha

Re: The Amazing Race-- Season Finale-- "This is how you lose a Million Dollars"-- 5/1
 

I wasn't a fan of V&T all season... he is the most obnoxious person on the planet.. but then I realized that out of the last 3-4 teams, they were the only ones who didn't degrade, make fun of or say racist things about anyone.
So ... for that.. I'm glad they won.
