The only thing that seems odd to me is that there's been no mention at any pit stop of being the first child-parent team to win...last season they frequently reminded viewers that no f/f team had ever won, which made it all the more exciting and significant when it eventually happened. However, mallory has had so many "deep thoughts underscored by emotional music" moments, but I still think there would have been at least ONE reference to the historic nature of a father/daughter team win...that's the only reason I'm still not yet convinced.

You mean they always reminded us that a female/female team has never won?  Meghan and Cheyne won and they had won a FF as well.  So did Uchina (sp?) and Joyce...

I think it would be so awesome to finally see a parent/child team win! Go Gallory!

Nat and Kat, Dan and Jordan, Meghan and Cheyne, Nick and Starr, BJ and Tyler, and Uchenna and Joyce all won Fast Forwards in their seasons. :tup:

There's probably more from the earlier seasons but I would have to look it up. I can't remember that far.  :lol:

Actually there have been three times. I caught Ron and Christina saying it twice and after they were eliminated Mallory mentioned how great it would be.

moving all predictions to the Finale Speculation thread.
Murtz Jaffer just tweeted his prediction of who wins TAR18. He has NEVER been wrong with his predictions of all seasons of TAR and Survivor and was only wrong once with The Apprentice (Annie vs Joan)

According to him, The Amazing Race 18: Unfinished Business winners are.......

GARY AND MALLORY ERVIN!

I guess you all will find out Sunday if Murtz's spoiler predictiions are correct. ;)

 :future

i take that as a yes.  LOL


I guess you all will find out Sunday if Murtz's AND Eddie's spoiler predictiions are correct. ;)


Peach, I'm gonna laugh my ass off if Murtz is finally wrong for once! So far his record is intact so we shall see if it continues or if his streak is finally broken!

I also think being the first parent/child team hasn't been as important as it was for all all female team

As happy as that would make me, the winning team isn't always in the middle of the bottom row. They have been known to appear in the center of the top. However, the angle seems to have Mel & Mike in that position. As of now, I'm at peace with 4th place.

Does this guy actually have spoilers or has he just been picking the winners from his best guess?

He's never been wrong about a TAR winner. I don't think he has spoilers, though. :duno:

FAIL!!!!

Looks like Murtz just had his Reality Steve moment, becoming the latest reality tv prognosticator with the supposedly unblemished record of predicting the winner failing miserably.

I love that this season wasn't spoiled (peach, if you knew the true outcome, MAJOR props to you for never giving it away, that must have taken a lot of restraint to keep such a surprising outcome under wraps all this time). I got frustrated earlier at times that more spoilers about the outcome weren't revealed, but honestly it was the absolute best decision.

Am i a great in prediction or what? i knew that between Gary & Mallory and Kisha & Jen - one of them will win the race and i say Kisha & Jen win the race because they haven't win a leg yet but now they do at the finish line just like Eric and Danielle in Season 11 where they win only once that is the finish line, and i'm right!

It was in the end an interesting ending after all.
Both teams that almost got to run to the finish line in their previous seasons pulled a Dustin a Kandince, actually getting to run to the finish line this time around, and Kisha and Jen actually accomplished what they could not.
Reflecting now, from the 11 teams cast, only 4 of them never got to run the final leg (Goths, Zev/Justin, Amanda/Kris and Mel/Mike).

Loved the fact that most of the time during final leg, teams were really closed together, if weren't for bad Taxi that Gary and Mallory got it would have been a way closer race. But it bothers me that final task was not a more race related memory task.

Can't remember if there were another team that actually won the race without winning a single leg during the race. But congrats to Kisha and Jen.

That team is Eric & Danielle in season 11
