Sorry damfino and dino88. The ankle injury really did them in. Physical injuries are always the worst on this race.

Sorry dfmaverick2 and Buckeyes8604, thanks for playing.

I have mixed feelings about how U-Turns affect the race, but on this occasion it had more to do with their struggle with the tassel dance.

Oh well. I was hoping for a better result, but their bickering was a clue that they wouldn't make it to the end. Choosing the wrong task was their downfall last night, and confrontation with another team didn't help. All I can say is they lasted longer than some of the other teams I almost picked which is sad to say.

Looks like I'll be rooting for Mallory and the bike messengers. They seem to be the most likeable teams with a chance.

Wow, bad choices for me this season. I was hoping at least one of my teams would make it far.

Good luck to everyone left.

Sorry guys! Depending on the leg, it almost feels like anyone's game at this point.

Sorry lwhy? and magi, thanks for playing.

It's never easy to recover from getting lost even when another team switches detours.

I'm actually kind of glad they got eliminated. They were not likeable at all. My streak of having two teams and not even making the final five continues.

Sorry postermen and outcastsja, thanks for playing.

T & T just took too long to realize they needed to switch detours.

Yep, pretty common fatal mistake. Either stick with the detour you select or make a quick decision to change.

Damn that was rough. Oh well... See you all next year!

Sorry guys. You had one of the best teams, too. It's pretty much anyone's game at this point.

While that FF seemed tailor-made for the surfers, I watch other Amazing Races from around the world and they've used this one before. The last time I saw it used, it took teams FOREVER to complete it.

Sorry CKMorpheus and winky, thanks for playing.

There sure were a lot of twists and turns tonight!

wow, I can't believe my team is still in it. One of them Amy? apparently cannot even run. WOW.

Off-topic, but of the International versions, which do you like the most?

I enjoyed TAR Canada this past Summer, but I've wondered if TAR Australia or Asia are worth watching.

The only one I've seen is TAR Asia when it was It was unofficially available on YouTube. They did 4 seasons and it was in English. I thought the 2nd season was the best, but i was unable to see season 4.

I didn't see TAR canada, is it available legally somewhere?

Have to give this a bump since we've now had 2 straight non-elimination episodes, so all 4 remaining teams will race to the finish line next week!

Really surprised the wrestlers are still in it. I think they'll ultimately come in 3rd... but I'm pulling for a long-shot win.

Our favorite has been Canada simply because you REALLY get to see a lot of Canada, but they're all good. Australia is probably the most lackluster because the host isn't as great. The Asia one's really good too though.

Dang, so I seriously managed to get picks in two of the final four teams? I'm on a roll! Guess I'm much better at this than the Survivor game!

Since The Amazing Race is now on Fridays and this is a time for holiday parties, and many of you don't watch the show on Friday, I am going to try something different this season.

If you are a winner, send me a PM with your name and email address after you watch the show. This will ensure that I don't spoil the ending by sending you a congratulatory PM before you see it.

I finally got caught up today. Who would have thought that the Candy Scientists would make it to the final?

Well, alright then.

Ridiculous. My team won the true final 3.

(Congrats Chowderhead & JasonF)

Whoa... I beekman boys into another win! They were editing it pretty hard the last few episodes for the candy girls to win in an upset. Candy girls beat the dentists and I actaully don't think the ending was close as Amy rocked the last memory challenge and I think both the other teams were pretty far behind.

Congratulations to chowderhead (3 time winner!) and JasonF (2 time winner!)

Please send me your names and email addresses by PM and I will get your Amazon GCs to you ASAP.
