Literally said "Holy SHIT!" out loud at the end of TAR.
In a good way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, and surprising--the first time you win, and it's a big one!
I was almost sad the Chippendales didn't win, though.
And when the monster trucker at the end said he'd opened his mind and was more accepting of the gays, my roommate turned to me and said "And I've become more accepting of monster truckers!" Hah.

Sad for the Chippendales. I just found the Beekmans so unpleasant most of the time.

I was definitely sad for the Chippendales!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'll miss the Twinnies -- sad for them, too. I think this may have been the nicest Final Four/Three in the history of the series, or at least a contender.
Spotting the Coney Island clue was the hardest challenge, as is fitting for a season finale -- too bad Chippendales wandered around the longest as that maybe cost them. (Who got out of the strait-jacket the soonest, though?)
Which of the Beekmans figured out that the flags and greetings reduced down to a mathematical puzzle and proceeded methodically? That won them the leg (and game) as much as anything.
Finding out that you're being allied against by all the remaining teams might have broken them, too -- the social pressure has broken team spirits before, but the Gay Goat Farmers took it in stride and kept up their friendliness.
I'm surprised so many NYers seem to know where the first pizzeria in NYC is. But then I give all the racers a downcheck for not recognizing the UN logo.
All things considered, none of the teams had any reason to be ashamed -- it was close, all seem to have finished the final task in short order, so even if we didn't get a final foot race, they were all competitive to the end.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't WAIT to watch this leg - NYC and a surprise win!!
Poor Dylan though, he loves those girls so much.

Yeah, roomie and I were shocked at the lack of UN logo recognition. But impressed at the pizza knowledge.
