Just in case you are like me and record stuff and some times don’t get around to watching it until a few days later… I will be revealing who won The Amazing Race last night later in this post. I am making sure it isn’t in the excerpt that will show on the main page because I HATE when someone ruins a show for me, especially a show finale.
Anyway, for me the ideal ending would have been Jeff and Jordan from Big Brother winning. I was excited to see they were still together, and trying out The Amazing Race. Just wish they could have stuck around longer.
I actually would have liked to see Louie and Michael (the two police officers) win the race, too.
OK, I think I filled enough space to start talking about the finale now.
Out of the three finalist; Brent & Caite, Dan & Jordan, and Jet & Cord…I couldn’t stand Brent & Caite, or Dan & Jordan. They were the two most annoying teams throughout the race. Well in the top three anyway (Brandy & Carol aka The Lesbians get in the top three too.). They whined, they fought with one another, and other teams, they whined some more. It was just so annoying! Of course in the history of The Amazing Race, the annoying teams usually tend to stick around longer than the likable teams.
Now, here is the bone I have to pick with last night’s finale. What ever happened to the rule that teams HAVE to fly in business or coach class, or whatever they are calling it now? Dan & Jordan moved up to first class! At that moment I was celebrating because I was expecting that if they had crossed the finish line first, Phil would say “Dan & Jordan, you are the first team to arrive…However I am sorry to tell you that you must serve a one hour penalty before I can check you in for flying in first class.” Then when I saw they were the team running for the finish line first, I got even happier. I loved that they were going to be first, but have to serve a penalty. It would have been perfect karma biting them in the butt. Then Phil told them they had won The Amazing Race…I was like WTH?!?
Jet and Cord were the only option of the final three that I would have enjoyed seeing win the race. It has nothing to do with them being from Oklahoma either. They were just very real, genuine people. It was enjoyable to watch them go through the entire race. They weren’t bickering with each other at every turn. They worked together nearly constantly, rather than against one another. They should have won!
They will be on our local news here on Friday morning. I can’t wait to hear their thoughts about everything. I am sure they will be very gracious in losing, even with their competitive spirit.
I certainly hope they bring them back for the next The Amazing Race: All-Stars season.
