Nah, at this point in the game, anything could happen.

Branchel deserves some props. I don't want to say "respect", because Rachel is a crazy baby, but I'm surprised they made it this far. I know they were good at competitions on Big Brother, but they avoided big mistakes.

i have no problem with them whatsoever. I hated them on their first season of BB cause they were annoying yeah, but by their second BB I actually cheered for Rachel to win because the other left in the house were so undeserving of winning. Sure she is a baby, but I find the behavior of the other teams towards them more annoying. Like you are gonna fight with them just because she's annoying? I would say out of the teams remaining, and I can honestly say this is the first year where I don't have a rooting interest whatsoever (the teams are that meh) I would probably want BB or Rachel Dave to win.

It seems they stopped taking all of the cash away from non elimination teams. I must have missed when they stopped doing that, was it recent? Or was it when they introduced Speed Bumps?

They stopped doing it a while ago because the teams would beg locals for money.

Imagine how fucking awkward it was to big people in Senegal or wherever for money when the people make like dollars a day.

also 'Ride of the Valkyries' when the army helicopter pilot was driving.

There is no way Rachel and Dave win the Race. They win EVERY FUCKING LEG.

Edit: Fuck. But they are fucking locks for the next All-Star edition.

And OMG at the finale. WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY SPOIL THAT. HOLY SHIT.

Wish they didn't have that next time preview. Super embarrassing for whoever it is.

At this point I'm rooting for Rachel and Brendan. Never really watched Big Brother so I went in with a clean slate on these two. I would be okay with Rachel and Dave as well but I'm hoping Vanessa and Ralph / Art and JJ crash and burn and tie for 4th place.

Glad to know Kentucky is an automatic return for all stars. Multiple montages, great edit, it's a shoe in.

Perhaps because they were favored by CBS. I heard that they like them so I wouldn't be surprised if they were asked to go back to race once again.

yeah no chance of Rob and Amber though Rob's bus trick is still my favorite move from any season.

Cowboys were extremely popular, probably the most popular team in years with the general audience.

Michael & Kevin from 17 id like to see return.

You know, what would be great is if they found a way to legally do a "global all-stars" edition with people from the Asia and Australia editions of the show that could simulcast in all international markets.

That's probably asking for a bit too much though.

Couldn't see that working.
you couldn't have the crews from the different versions together. US version that season couldn't be sold in those territories. not to even mention the budget.

You don't need the crews or anything. You just need the contestants... and given that the Asia version has many American ex-pats on the show, someone somewhere has figured out how to handle the legalities of giving away prize money in more than one country (which is the big legal hangup and is why the Amazing Race US is limited strictly to Americans).

And trust me, they get The Amazing Race all over the place - it's why you can have Amazing Race China, Asia and Australia in the first place. Not to mention that all the spoilers come from people who live in those countries who have seen the racers/crews/pitstops/etc first hand.

The real problem is that it would only satisfy TAR nerds like me who go out of their way to seek out foreign editions of the show.

Really bummed that even with the Fast Forward, Kentucky couldn't squeeze in there. Those two are so likable and you can really tell they had the time of their lives.

The only team I'd truly hate to see win it all would be Big Brother. She's been a whiner from start to finish so it'd suck to see them win.

Not only that, but they would have been in first for the next leg, she's so freaking retarded. She was even thinking about it, saying that if he wanted her to do it that she would. I bet he was crazy mad at her once he found out about the 10k they lost...

In regards to the finale, Japan?!? Hell yeah! Has that ever happened though where a team didn't complete a task and then ends up losing the race?

I think it's implied a team ends up losing out on winning due to a huge mistake.

Tough break for Vanessa & Ralph but it's not like anyone wants to see them in the final leg anyhow, so you can't feel all that terrible.
Props to Vanessa for gutting it out. Expect them to get booted regardless.

I so want Rachel & Dave to be the team to be the team that makes it to the red carpet in the next leg first (thinking they've set the overall record for race leg wins) only to be told they have not completed the roadblock.
And they then LOSE the race. That would be sweet.

Dave is such an asshole. Art and JJ annoy the fuck out of me and can be dicks at times. Vanessa and Ralph, Vanessa is hot but a bitch, Ralph is ok. Brendan and Rachel I have no problems with them, I watched BB both season they were on so i'm used to Rachel's annoying personality, I hope they win.

Damn I wish I was doing the sushi bingo, I eat so much sushi I could identify all the pieces by sight and also know their japanese names.

I too hope that Rachel and Dave are the team that gets to the finish line only to not have finished a task.

Edit: I also find it funny, in the last few seasons that they visit Asian countries, the racers have been less condescending to the locals when asking for directions in english then they have been in the past. In a lot of the older seasons they would ask non english speaking locals for help and speak slow condescending english to them as if they would suddenly understand. I wonder if the producers tell them not to, as I always found it cringe worthy whenever they would do that, gives them the ignorant american stereotype.

Brenchel just screwed up. You'd think this leg would have been a good time to start reading their clues carefully.
