The Amazing Race - 2011-12

I hope Amani and Marcus win - they have had a "never say die" attitude the whole way and keep finding ways to survive. And, Marcus was right about it being three Davids vs. one Goliath. One mistake really can cost you in TAR.

 

You could tell from Phil's reaction that he was truly disappointed that the snowboarders blew it.

I can't imagine the producers felt the final would be stronger without them, so I'm not going to go grassy-knoll, but it sure seemed fishy that the cabbies were talking to each other. I've never noticed that happening ever before.

And as for the clue -- seemed like the Balboa red herring coupled with the nearly impossible-to-read Viejo Panama on the skirt made the challenge skirt being unfair. Pun intended.

 

What a revolting thought that is!!!

Personally, I am glad the Snowboarders are gone (Re: a previous post I have on the subject). I think Amani & Marcus are the odds-on favorite here, folks. I really do think they will win it all next Sunday. Loved his referring to last night's leg of the race as the Conference Championship.

 

The snowboarders have been fun to watch. OK, the whole God thing is ... I'll stop because I don't want to get struck by lightning ... but in their closing segment you could tell they really enjoyed seeing a lot more of the world.
Has any one team dominated like they have recently?
I don't have a problem with any of the remaining teams, but I am kinda pulling for Amani and Marcus. He seems like a cool dude. Wonder if anybody who ever covered the Colts can shed some light on this here thread and tell us if he is a really good dude.

 

It's a rare final where all three teams are likable and I don't have a problem with any of them winning.

 

Why am I the only person who doesn't like Ernie and Cindy?

 

Trust me, you are not.

 

I like Ernie just fine, but he is going to be henpecked to death if he stays with Cindy.

 

She rubs me the wrong way on the show, but she seems really nice on her Twitter, so I'm wondering if it's not just the Race bringing out the crazy in her. (because planning a wedding won't bring out the crazy AT ALL)

 

Just caught up. WTF!

I was pulling for the snowboarders to get to the final, if for no other reason than to lock up the win for me here but now I guess I have to hope I can coast on what they've already done.

By my count, the top four is:

ME (snowborders) 73
Mtm (Ernie and Cindy) 45
Drew Wilson (Amani and Marcus) 42
Iron chet (Jeremy and Sandy) 40

So, 28 points? What are there, two legs left? Even if Ernie and Cindy win both legs (+16 points), I should be fine. There's no bonus for winning the whole thing, right?

 

Just for that insolence, I might have to add in bonus points for being the champion.

 

I do not like them either. No specific reason that I can put my finger on, but Cindy just rubs me wrong.
