  Best episode!  Talk about a nail biter!   This was me   :jumpy: when the final 2 teams were racing to the pit stop.

I like all 3  final teams but I hope that Ron and Christina or Nick and Don win it. I'd like to see someone other than a  young/strong/couple win for once.

You no if Ron had changed his strips around leg 3 or 4, I would absolutely agree with you.  But I also don't mind the nicest overall team winning either and that isn't the usual case.

THough some nice teams have won, it hasn't ever been the nicest team (the closest would be Rob & Brennan but I would say on the episodes that Dave & Margareeta were nicer, though its very close).

In this season not even Kate & Pat have been as nice (they have enjoyed the misfortune of others, such as Ron).

But o matter what, there are pluses for any of the teams winning.

1st parent/Child, 1st Grandparent/Grandchild, Oldest winner, Oldest racer in final three, hell 2 oldest racers in final three.

Or Peter & Sarah's breakup on the mat in TAR10.

Now that I've seen this episode, wow!!! Great episode until the end where the CKS Memorial was the pit stop. That man was personally responsible for killing many of my relatives and ruled Taiwan under Martial Law for over 30 years.

Sad to see JeNation go only because I don't have any more Death Stares this season. Maybe it was a good thing they never finished 1st in a leg. And I knew Viewing Parties were a bad omen!
That wasn't so bad, because they didn't have a relationship, they were thinking about starting one.  So basically just nips it in the bud before anything happens.  Lenny & Karen were either just seriously dating or engaged.   And from the 2nd leg, you new there was serious, serious problems.

IDK, Don & Nick's spat in reminds me of the BQ's spat in TAR11 final preview, maybe not a good sign for them? Still, I really don't care who wins but luv Don.
I so seriously can't see this team winning.  The final leg of each season has had one large activity that this team does worse then any other, and thats running.  Now unless they have a final tasks like seasons 9 or 10 just a bit away from the Mat that they can excel at, then its not going to happen.

As for seeing a team that gets along get into a fit in the final leg, I think more Tyler & James, who had their one and only fight in the CDG airport.  

When I think Dustin & Kandice, I still really remember more of their first experience where they did fight and argue (at least that made the episodes) in several episodes.  All Stars always seem a little like teams new to correct bad habits they had on their first race.

Interesting photos of Nathan & Jennifer.  I guess you can smile about what happened when the whole madness is over.  Seems they're still together, but who knows?

Great pics Chateau!


BTW, does anyone have a video clip of the final 5-10 minutes of last night's episode?  from the arrival at the train station to the tea drinking, clown, health walk, and the pitstop.  I couldn't find anything on Youtube.....yet.
