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.

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 -__-

I have already stated that the team did a great job, and that I like all the teams (so I had no issue with any of the teams winning, as I usually judge based on racing average and all teams were very close), but I found the episode to be possible the most boring finale TAR has produced. Is it the first final episode where at no time did the team in first not remain in first? Possibly.
This is nothing to do with who won, are how teams behaved (I already sad I loved that about this season), I also comment that I have only disliked one task for the full season, so I didn't dislike the tasks here.
I just found the episode lacking drama or tension.
Take season 15 (a season I didn't like that much) but I at least liked all three teams in the finale, but I found that episode far more appealing as it was neck and neck, all three teams at some point in Vegas were in 1st, and all three teams were at the final task directly in competition with each other. I find that dramatic.
It's like watching sports. I don't want to watch a one sided game (of whatever sport it is), no matter who is winning. I am a Raider's fan and tehy killed Denver earlier this year scoring more points then they have ever done so before in history (and Denver scored poorly), as much as I wanted my team to win (which they did) I was so bored I turned the game off. It wasn't dramatic. It's the same principle.
Season two for example had the famous foot race, and that was a nail bitting finale and I didn't like either team. But I was on the edge of my seat watching the whole time. That didn't occur for me this episode, and not even just at the end but pretty much from leaving the bungee.
mswood:
As for congrats for a f/f team winning why, should I make the distinction, I give props to the team that ran the best leg (and since the changed how they plan out this final legs since season 12 and have stuck with it, you win and its how you do, and not do having mid leg equalizers (how I hated that for the first 11 seasons). It's irrelevant to me if they are men, women and men, women, african american, asian, hispanic, gay, mother daughter, grandparents, ect.
Nat & Kat run the best leg, the fact that they are women isn't something that I root for or against.

Well I wonder why I wasn't surprised at your comment of "lame." RFF's resident pessimist has spoken.......next season is lame....what WRP and CBS has labeled it is lame......lol
I guess maybe you wont watch and keep reminding us that it is lame..............naw, that wont happen either......lol
Dånooky:
:lol:
TARAsia Fan:
I've only seen the first two episodes and the finale tonight and this was the result I was hoping for.
Hopefully, I'll be able to see TAR18 in its entirety. Unfinished Business isn't the best title, but I like the teams there.
