Hmm. Pretty surprising episode..

 

Depending on how much of a lead Teri and Ian get, I figure they have the best shot of winning with Ken and Gerald having the next best shot of winning if T+I cant get a big lead.

Flo and Zach arent gonna win...thats almost a given.

Well, the scenes from next week show Flo crying like a baby. Though I suppose that isn't exactly unnatural behavior from her. She acts like my two year old niece. Like, Zach never screamed at Flo no matter how much she whined/complained/refused to do a task. I think Zach is pretty sick of her shit, but is willing to put up with it for the million.

 

Ian - Man, it's hard to dislike a war vet who seemed to be totally sincere about everything he said. Especially the stuff about healing wounds and whatnot. So, uh...go Ian? I'm glad they won one leg, even if they got the voice-over prize.

 

I think Ken and Gerard are going to win...they're smart, sneaky, and have some drive. I'm pulling for them, though I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing Teri and Ian somehow win. I *really* want to see Flo lose, so it's mostly a vote against her. Poor Zach.

 

Too bad to see the Twins lose in such a lame way. Especially since they were in the thick of things, unlike 911 or A and A. But hey, guess they had to go out at some point.

 

In conclusion: I still hate Flo.

I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Teri and Ian are gonna fucking win this thing. The past few weeks T/I have been shown in a more positive light, while Flo gets the mega heel push. T/I are gonna beat Flo/Zach in a footrace when Flo decides that she "can't breathe" again. I can just feel it...and it makes me want to puke.

I don't know man...why didn't they just push Flo as the heel all the way through then? The constant babyfaces here are the Brothers, so you'd think that they're the sentimental favorites to win.

 

The Flo heel push has to be leading to something though...possibly the end is a footrace between Flo/Zach and the Brothers, where we'd definately not want Flo to win? I can see what fazzle said as happening though. If Flo/Zach were going to win, they would have gotten a little more of a babyface push.

I can see it coming down to what happened last season where Tara just couldn't keep up with Will during the footrace and cost them the game... with Flo whining about 3/4ths of the way there and suddenly stopping.

No offense to anybody, but while reading this thread something popped into my head: What a bunch of wrestling geeks we are, talking about heels and faces gatting pushes and whatnot.

 

So there's only one more episode. I'm glad to see who wins, but sad to see it end. This show has done what Survivor couldn't: keep me entertained for three full seasons.

I think Flo and Zach are destined for second place. Similar to Tara and Wil, Zack has the drive to keep going in a footrace, while Screech has shown that she doesn't. KennyG have the drive to get to the finish line despite their size. Ian didn't annoy me this week, which is a plus in their favour. But since they're leaving Vietnam, I don't expect it to last.

 

I see the non-elimination leg equalizing the teams. From what I can tell, the teams are, at most, separated by 1 hour. Judging from the light, it looked to be around 7-8pm when KennyG checked in, so the race to get flights should be interesting.

 

Anyways, my guess for the finishing order is:

1) KennyG

2) Zach and Screech

3) Teri and Ian

Well, this IS primarily a wrestling board, so I suppose it's expected that wrestling terminology will sneak into posts. It could be worse, though - we could be wishing for Zach to superkick Flo through a barbershop window or Teri to give Ian a chairshot...

Man, I would *so* mark out for that.

 

Zach's overness has increased by 9 points in this segment.

 

(beat that...wrestling + computer game references. you can't outgeek me)

Hmm..CBS isnt waiting too long for Amazing Race 4.

 

Apparently it will start in February, after CBS does its Star Search show on Wednesday Nights in January..

 

I think its a bit too much to have 2 in one season..

Well, Survivor 6 is being or has been shot in the Amazon, so it wouldn't be surprising if they did film TAR4 - it's cheap to produce, and does decent ratings against the West Wing. Plus it's decent counter-programming against The Bachelor.

1) Who do you think will win?

 

2) Who would you most like to see win?

 

3) Are we FINALLY going to see Zach haul off and smack Flo the Hideous Shrieking Harpy?

 

4) Shut up, Flo.

(minor) SPOILER!!

 

 

 

 

USA Today reports that the race will finish up in Seattle, WA.

I've always thought it would be cool to have the race come through my town. Hopefully they would stop at the store I work at and ask for directions. I'd tell them completely wrong directions.

BTW... is today actually the season finale? I haven't heard CBS actually hype it as the season finale, so thats why I'm asking.

It is indeed the finale for Amazing Race 3. There may be a #4 early next year though.

Guest CanadianChris

The Amazing Race 4 will start filming next month. The tentative date for the premiere is February 27th.

 

I wonder if they're EVER going to stop in Canada...

Well, it didn't take Flo to start whining, did it? Although I must admit that my girlfriend would also balk at a 24 hour train ride without a/c. The difference being that she'd actually check first before complaining about it...

A MILLION BUCKS and you can't ride on a train for a day? Sweet jeebus, that girl is a pain.

I am in awe of Zach's patience.

Zach is too nice. If it was me and Flo, Id slap her upside her head, tell he "I didn't come 40,000 fucking miles just to quit on the last leg of the race" and pick her up, throw her over my shoulder and drag her the rest of the way, even if we finished 8 days behind whoever wins. But of course, thats just me..

We'll see how patient he is after she quits the race.

I wonder if theres a penalty for not paddling the boats..

 

Really, it doesnt matter..

 

RAIDEN! oh wait..

Flo and Zach are only 3 hours behind after everything, hmm they could still win, but they won't..

Guest CanadianChris

Well, at least I'm back to hating Ian again.

Why would it be that hard to get economy seats? Just find someone who has economy seats and see if they'll switch.
