There it is: "Unfinished Business"!
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

Shut up Mallory...

Why? do you hate here lol?
God know I really like her and Gary.  I just was thinking when I typed it that boy shouldn't we hear the winners talking, instead of people who didn't finish.  But then we got more little pieces and we did get to Nat & Kat.  I would have said shut up to any team not in the finale three who was talking.

Really, seriously.  Now obviously you are pleased about the results (and I can certainly understand being jazzed for the team you want to win), but dramatically there wasn't much real drama as the race wasn't close.  

I think most seasons have had more dramatic endings (even when I really didn't like the team that won at all, and god knows thats happened a time or two), this very well might be the most boring finale for a cycle.

Hi guys. Does anybody know if it has been already uploaded in youtube? Can you please post the link? I wasn't able to watch the whole episode because patients kept pouring in and my god forsaken wireless broadband was a major fail (SUN = hate). Thanks!

This finale couldn't have been any better. (Well, it probably could, but I'm not complaining.)
I thought that when we fought, I was to blame
Now I know you play a different game
I've seen you dance with danger; still wanting more
Add another number to the score

Yep, i really think it's one hell of a boring finale. I'm not denying the fact that nobody even came close to Nat and Kat! :cmaslol

I still loved it anyway because of obvious reasons, but seriously.. the pitstop greeter final challenge was kind of creative!! :cmaslol

But the final not withstanding, I really, really liked this season.  Teams that (with a few exceptions Hi Nick) treated their partners well, teams that treated (with a few smart ass comments from Rachel & Katie) the other teams as competition but not as enemies, and as far as I can recall all teams being nice to locals.

Some good casting (for the most part), some nice locations, and tasks (really the only task that I thought was lame was the boxing training roadblock).  Just a really pleasant season.  Thank you Production for the planning and casting, and think you teams for being cool.

I dont know if they showed this in the states, but they never showed the announcement about the next season in Canada.
Apprently its called The Amazing Race 18: Unfinished Business
Interesting that CTV in Canada didn't show the announcement about next season. Could it be that TAR is switching networks (hello Rogers! :cmas0) for TAR 18? Maybe then it would actually get some serious promotion...

Was rooting for B/C but was overall happy with the result. Also VERY pleased with the next season news. Normally I can't stand all star seasons but I'm happy to see all teams that didn't win...the way it should be if you ask me.

I honestly wasn't a huge fan of this season and feel like it's because I couldn't really connect with or get 100% behind a team or a few teams. Luckily I saw a lot of my previous favorites in the Unfinished Business preview and feel as if next season will be great provided that the right locations are picked.

Couldn't agree more. Haven't seen a combination of GREAT teams and an EXCITING finale since 7. Maybe 9 if you liked the teams.

Question:  Is this the first memory challenge the race as had at the end where you were aloud to bring your notes with you?

Omg, Nat & Kat won!  OMG, NAT & KAT WON!  MY FAVORITE TEAM WON!   YIIPPPEEEE!!!!!

Okay, so the editors weren't so great at creating drama near the very end -- I didn't think Brook & Claire were as close to Nat & Kat at the end as they tried to make it look.  But I don't care!  MY FAVORITE TEAM WON!  And I'm celebrating!

I think the only final memory challenge where teams couldn't use their notes was S12 but that's because they were told they couldn't use paper and pen to solve the riddle.

It might not have been ur favorite but at least u can still compliment on
it, i feel like ur bashing on it, just be happy an F/F won, it might not be
the BEST finale but it is a finale and it's NOT boring -__-

Very disappointed that Brooke and Claire missed out on the title... but my disappointment was subdued by the class/grace they handled the loss. A truly fantastic team.

I absolutely agree. While I was rooting and very very ecstatic for Nat and Kat, I thought Brooke and Claire handled their loss very well and gracefully. They weren't my favourite team, but that made me like them 10x more.

Seriously don't remember.  SO I checked.

Last year yes they use Jordan's notebook which has it written down (and it was one of the easier ones!)

Season 15 doesn't have a memory task.
Season 14 None of them have any papers with them so I would say not allowed, or they are all stupid.
Season 13  Besides that specific clue packet, no other documents are shown, I so I would guess no.
Season 12  Clearly no (and boy that one was a bastard).
Season 11  No notes used, though why they would write that sort of thing down???
Season 10:  No Memory task
Season 9:  No team checks passport (which would have country order or any notes) so I would say not allowed The first tough memory task on the race.
Season 8:  No documents are maps are used by either racer so I would guess a big no, on that one.
Season 3:  Animal Totem I don't see any paper work with teams besides the clue and the extra info that was printed on a plaque.  Of course this might have been the first one so teams may not have made notes.
