Amazing Race just ended tonight. My favorite team will NOT be in the final three.
Because of some very underhanded lying by another team.

:cry:

2. Yeah... And the three teams remaining.... sigh... (spoiler)
That preppy blonde couple, him and his hair... :puke:

The evil brothers, lying and whining assholes... :mad::puke:

The last couple is OK, but she seems kinda high maintenance.

ah well...

:pals:

3. Yep, I liked the GT's too. However,

the word FRANZ should not have been impossibly hard to come up with, especially since he was told that "F" was the first letter.

Once he threw in the towel and took the penalty I knew they were done. If there is any justice at all, karma will catch up with the brothers before they cross the finish line.

6. Yep. I can't believe he quit!
Even if he had tried every combination, it would not have taken him 4 hours! We thought the penalty would be thrity minutes. I can't believe he thought someone else would take four hours to finish!

I think the brother was a little turd for not telling him the answer. I hope his parents are very proud.

Now, I don't care if teams work together or not BUT if they start working together, they should follow through.

8. The turd's parents probably ARE proud. Turds usually come from turd parents.

9. He must not have had any good classes on probability, or good teachers...
I think there are only 24 possible combinations with 5 letters.

He didn't have the skills or background to develop a strategy.

He only needed to keep submitting unique random combinations to have come up with the answer sooner or later.

But jeeze, I honestly think I'd have seen FRANZ on my first try.

But then I work the Jumble in the newspaper all the time.

:donut:

5. The GT's definitely picked the wrong
one for that task. Bless his little heart. I'm bummed out they were eliminated from the race, too. I think the two blondes will win.

7. I'll keep watching.
But my heart is not in it any more. I hope the brothers end up paying for what they did.

11. Yeah, that's how I feel. In past episodes I could get behind at least one of the finalists.
Not so much this time.

Those asshole brothers....argghhhh.

I only wish the GT team had not taken the penalty- it wouldn't have taken too long to submit every unique combination of letters.
