What a great finish. I was worried that Uchena was going screw himself while looking for money. I was like, run, that old cabbie wasn't going to chase him, or catch him! LOL

Anyway, I am soooo happy that Romber lost. I am more happy Romber lost, than I am that U & J won! Isn't that horrible!

I posted this in the other thread, but most people would have just run to the finish line without paying the cab driver!!! But not Uchenna!!! He is a real man of integrity!!!  ]#*

What an AMAZING race and what an AMAZING COUPLE!!!!  I was seriously crying when they were at the finish line talking about having their baby.  I love to see great things happen to really good people.

Difference between Rob & Uchenna.  Rob would have stiffed the cab driver and ran to the finish mat.  Uchenna owed that man money and wasn't winning until he had the money to give it to him.

I pray Uchenna & Joyce get their baby.  :)

I think $1,000,000 will help them get there baby!

But, I am really worried about Rob & Amber, how will they ever survive with just her winnings from Survivor? I mean, how will there refergerator get filled with food. I am just worried about them, and a lot. NOT NOT NOT. Survive this Rob & Amber. LMAO

The looks on Rob & Amber's faces when Uchenna & Joyce made that flight were priceless!  I wish I had a good shot of it, I would use it as a wallpaper on my computer.

If I'm Uchenna I would have told the cab driver that I will pay ten times the fare in about 15 minutes, just let me take care of some business.  BTW, I deviated from the normal recap and did a more reflections piece on the news page which is up.  Enjoy!

While my favorite team was ROMBER, I was glad UJ won!!!   They needed the money more than any of the final three.

I am glad U/J won, I mad I did not go with the spoiler.  Uchenna making sure the man was paid was awesome.

Rob/amber were gracious to U/J and were not ugly...I laughed when Rob said 2nd sucked...twice for him.

Romber won 3 trips and a home entertainment center...not to mention big bucks from their Survivor experiences, and their soon-to-be-broadcast weddingfest.

Ron/Kelly won $20,000 and a Travelocity trip (not sure if the money is only for use on their travels, but still)

So, U/J, who didn't win anything for coming in first on two legs (even after winning the FF), got the big prize.  I love it when the right thing happens...

Cute moment when Patrick was repeating "Uchenna and Joyce, Uchenna and Joyce" before the finish.  It seemed to me the clapping was very half-hearted by the other teams when Romber crossed the finish line.

You are right about the half hearted for Rob and Amber.  yes they were on a show before...but they did all the roadblocks and detours (okay not one).  I think they made the race interesting.

Most of the teams that were eliminated were due to luck ~ bad taxi, wrong turn and all.

Can you imagine being the person that found Rob and Amber's bags....you think they took anything?

 {l{ lol Texan . What I thought was stupid was that when their Taxi ( little bastard) driver showed up again they got back in his taxi! The dude did not know where the cigar place was  ..they should have passed him up and taken a chance trying to find a new taxi , funny now that in Lynn & Alex's interview they said that they hoped that Romber would end up with a bad taxi ride   ]][ .

For starters I want everyone to know that I am very happy that Uchenna and Joyce won the Amazing Race.  They certainly overcome innumerable obsticles alonga the way and they certainly deserved to win. And I certainly don't want this to sound like sour grapes, but after all the nasty remarks from the blob and others about how the producers assisted Rob and Amber along the way, I have to bring this up.

DID THEY HAVE DEVINE INTERVENTION?

In this day and age of ultra tight and strict "by-the-rules" Federal Security Regulations at all U.S. airports it is inonceivable to me that American Airlines would hold a plane, re-engage the jetway, and allow passengers (there must have been at least four: Uchenna and Joyce, cameraman, soundman) to board the plane without proper boarding passes (they never got standby boarding passes as Rob and Amber were required to do, but went directly to the gate), had no baggage, and  bought one-way tickets at the last moment before boarding.  So the question is: did the producers intervene?  did someone make a call to the proper people at American Airlines - and remember who one of the sponsors are - to allow Uchenna and Joyce to board the plane so that there would be a race in Miami to heighten the suspense of this television reality drama? Otherwise Rob and Amber would have a good two hour headstart to find the cigar maker and get to the finish line in Ft. Lauderdale.  Not much "drama" in that scenario.  So if I were really goiing to investigate this the first thing I would do is have someone take a look at the phone records of any production personnel who were in the San Juan Airport when the teams were leaving for Miami.

As I said in the beginning, I do not begrudge the fact that Uchenna and Joyce won.  I would just like to know if the producers gave them a little last minute devine help?

You guys are funny today..making me laugh here.

Well done..well deserved well raced..and well..bloody well excellent U&J  (^.# (^.# (^.# Good on ya both. So pray a little one is in the cards for the two of them. I think they'd make ex parents. They have to be one happy couple <[/   ]^]
I was rooting for Romber..but am thrilled U&J took it.

Tons of  {}{ in vehicles last night..it was a riot.

What a great finish. I was worried that Uchena was going screw himself while looking for money. I was like, run, that old cabbie wasn't going to chase him, or catch him! LOL

I thought it was a spectac  (^.# finish too (in what U&J almost lost to do the 'right' thing). But then wondered if there might be some contractual agreement the teams must sign prior to the race stating "The breaking of any laws could/would negate a win." Just a thought..anyone know?

Anyway, I am soooo happy that Romber lost. I am more happy Romber lost, than I am that U & J won! Isn't that horrible!

No but seriously..I remember post 9/11 days when they'd hold and/or even call a flight back for late passengers..but now!! Nah..it's virtually unheard of.  *(^ So what's the 411 on that..not that hard to fgure out I guess..had to be intervention..but not of the divine kind.  :(*8

I will say they I thought actually ran last night's race of and under their own accord...proving to me they coulda made it without the 'help' from 'star struck' people throughout. Another thing that made me laugh was Rob's not even trying to influence the Jamaican Cabbies..he musta known better..ya just don't try and hurry a rasta mon.  ]][ Love em..they are some awesome people.  }({

I am so pleased for Uchenna and Joyce. :] :] |#' |#'  Out of the 3 remaining teams, they were my favourites to win.  And now they can try for that baby they want so badly.   I am a huge Romber fan but I didn't want them to win anymore money as they arleady did.  I am so glad that romber were allowed to race in the Amazing Race because they definitely made it exciting and they are great competitors.  I thought it was great when Amber was last to jump in and swim for the clue and somehow Rob got ahead of everyone.  Good racing there.  The ending was good, I truly felt bad for U/J when no one would give them money.  Uchenna was so polite when he introduced himself to everyone, I know I would have given him some money if I was in that airport.  But as Phil said this morning on the Early show, they got good karma/luck once she shaved her hair off.  I wished they would have a reunion show with all the competitors telling us what they have been up to since they raced.

Oh my, if only you all could have seen Tina and I watching it. All of my nails are gone! :)

Congrats to Uchena and Joyce.

I too was worried that Rob and Amber would beat them while Uchena was searching for money. But what a great heart he has.
