I am also less than thrilled with this top three, especially considering that there were so many teams in this All Stars go round that I actually liked a lot. That said, two of the three teams have consistently performed well this race, so I can't hate that much. The third team is bleagh, but I have faith that they have zero shot at actually winning.

This was an enjoyable leg and tough! This season has been pretty good, all things considered. And next week, Vegas, baby! Looks like it will be fun. Wish we could've had a better winner.

I liked the Afghanimals a lot more this time around. I don't know if it's just the editing or a little more wisdom and maturity on their part.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm scared that Rachel will have useful Vegas knowledge.

On feminist principles, but against game principles, I'd be happy if the singers won.

Is there a way they can all get DQed?

At least I won't be able to say that any of the teams doesn't deserve to win.

If I hadn't been watching TAR all season and you'd told me who the final three teams were, I'd have immediately said I was rooting for Dave and Connor but they have been really insufferable with the whole anti-Brenchel alliance. And I can't root for Rachel. Though she's been significantly less horrible on this race than on the last, that still leaves her at a good 50-60% more horrible than is acceptable in any type of grown up person. Plus she wore hose with sparkly green shorts. Foul! And stanky. By process of elimination, I have to root for the Country Singers. Yet, they have the least chance of the three to win seeing as how they are really awful racers and are only here because they've been riding other teams' coattails the entire race. Sigh.

Kat, I feel quite the same way. I have decided if the country singers do manage a win I can be happy with that. They may not be great racers but they played the game to make up for their short comings.

They seem to have an inexhaustible supply of pep and moxie. I suspect drugs.

At this point I want them to win just to stick it to the rest of them. Alternatively I'll take Rachel and Brendon over the sanctimonious jerks. If the Afghanimals were still in it I'd be behind them all the way.

Wow, just watched the TAR finale. All I can say is, I'm so glad Brenchel didn't win. Ugh.

Oh, and I was super surprised they didn't have to do any sort of "what are all the words for hello/types of money/flags of countries" task!! No thinking, just the lightbulb changing!?
