And they only start winning because they stop casting alpha-males: the only strong all-male team in TAR5-6-7-10-11-12 was Danny/Oswald.

I'm so so so sad for Ron and Christina with passion. They should've won. TK and Rachel is okay for me its just that it seems that they didn't try hard although they also have lots of struggles in the middle of the race but Ron and Chris.. I'm just sad. They shoulda won.

"I just want to say what a great, great leg this one was. No matter who one, even if the asshole Ron would have won. THis is the type of leg every final should be. One equalizer at the beginning and the rest all up to you and local transportation. Ron & Christina lost because of not that Tk & Rachel were young and fit, but because of two factors one Christina eat up a lot of time at the glacier, and mostly due to her being unable to figure out a puzzle."

That is...

I will now officially root for any team that is not a straight couple or comprised of two young men.

Maybe a female lesbian twin team will win next season!

Actually this seemed to be the wishes of the producers. Was I the only one who seemed to notice how quickly TK/Rachael got through their speed bump? It didn't seem to take a fraction of time that the Goths had to spend at their speed bump. And I'm not sure they even stayed for the "celebration" like they were told they had to do. At least the producers didn't show that...only them suiting up, running through the fire and getting doused by water. Hardly a hick-up in...

Well that certainly wasn't my preference for a winner... But I hated Nate & Jen, so I'm just glad it wasn't them.

Thanks, SLD, for doing the PBP all season long. I live on the east coast, so I see the show when you do, but it's still fun to follow along.

I mean I understand people not liking teams for a huge number of reasons. And I can understand not wanting or rooting for fit people (for example if that was the case you don't root for Lori & Bolo the strongest team their season), you don't root for (Ray & Yolanda quite possible the physically strongest team their season). But that is different then saying a group of several different teams are the same. I mean why not say Erwin & Godwin are the same as Rob & Brennan....

If you can't tell the different personalities between Rob & Brennan, Chris & Alex, the Linz's, Tyler & James and BJ & Tyler then you seriously need to either get your TV fixed, or check your hearing and vision. Because their is a big difference.

Except that Rob & Brennan, Chris & Alex, The Linzes, BJ & Tyler and Tyler & James are all the same person.

Flo & Zach (and to a lesser extent Chip & Kim) = only good winners.

Well out of the 10 regular seasons we have had two teams that weren't dating/married or alpha males. Flo & Zach who weren't dating. And BJ & Tyler, two non alpha males (that would be like someone saying Avi & Joe were Alpha Males).

I didn't like how the teams had to rely so much on their taxi drivers for the final leg.

Let them drive themselves or bike, etc.
