I can't believe I am pulling for Blair & Hayley!

I want them to take a TV crew and follow them when they go on their trips they are winning. I would actually watch that. Hayley is so annoying but Blair makes her watchable. I can't explain it (though she was extremely tolerable in this episode).

This episode Hayley was replaced by her non-nagging supportive double.

I doubt they go on these trips together. They'll probably just divide them up according to their travel wishes.

It's generally been explained by past contestants that (pretty much) nobody takes the trips (or the cars, or pretty much anything that's awarded other than the cash) because the taxes that come with them are so prohibitive. Also, meals and a lot of other expenses on the trips aren't covered (unless specifically stated), so they become rather expensive as prizes go.

How appropriate is it that the last thing said on the episode was Hayley saying to Blair "and you're going to listen, right?"

Would rather a full episode of 3 teams as opposed to 4 teams with one eliminated halfway through.

I'm probably alone in this but I've found Laura far more annoying than Hayley for three or four of the last episodes. In that this last one she was especially bitchy. Praying for another team to have car trouble?

Is there a rule about switching cabs? Those truckers are idiots if they could have bailed on that cab right away when the brakes were going out and chose not to.

Wow... I never thought that Hayley and Blair would have made it to the final after how they started the race. It's really all about when you peak. I think Laura and Tyler win it all though. Tyler is a beast. He pushed a full wheelbarrow the whole way...

I find myself rooting for Hayley and Blair. He's likeable, and she's the right combination of super positive and horrifyingly bitchy.

As far as Amazing Race teams go, Laura & Tyler will go down as one of my all-time favorites no matter what happens in the finale.

I think they're a lock to return if or when there's another all-star season.
