Oh I forgot to mention that the editing at the start with Phil not mentioning the eliminated teams' names was a bit meh to me. That's one of my favorite parts in the finale previously-ons of each season.
OMG THIS soooo much!!!! ^^^
As for the episode, what a great finale. One of the best we've had in quite a while, and the Memory Challenge just seemed crazy difficult. 5 Hours says it all!!!
Amy & Maya winning was fantastic, though I did spoil myself with the spoilers so I had a fair idea they were going to get it. I feel annoyed with myself now, because it would've been amazing not knowing the outcome. It's very rarely a team I love wins, (Uchenna & Joyce and BJ & Tyler are the only 2 that come to mind) so it's such a great feeling when it finally happens again.
Brooke started to annoy me this leg, with her constant negativity towards the Scientists, but I guess that's too be expected. I'd probably be the same.
Also, Misti & Jim went from being possibly my most hated team to one of my favourites the entire season. They were great racers, and although editing over exaggerated Jim's intensity to the Max, he seems like a genuinely nice guy and never got upset or angry with Misti when she fumbled in the earlier RB's.
Having said that I'm glad they didn't win just so the Season didn't have a predictable winner. Misti & Jim for the next All Stars Please!
As for Adam & Bethany, they we're still very boring for me. I know most people love them, but I think out of the Final 4 (even the Final 7) they would've been the worst winners for me, which I don't really like saying. Having said that I have a serious amount of respect for Bethany.
On a whole this is one of the best seasons we've had, probably the best since 18. I'm just hoping 26 doesn't drag the show back down to TAR 24 level.
