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!?
Yeah, I call shenanigans on there being no race-recap memory test! I'm not sure what kinds of shenanigans, but still!
I would not have been thrilled about any of the finalists winning, but seriously, fuck you, Rachel. "It's for our BABY!"
On the plus side, David Copperfield! His face looks good -- I feel like it was touch an go there for a while.
If ever a team deserved their Bad Taxi Karma -- but seriously, the Brenchells were just getting the driver's back up more by the nagging.
Not that it mattered all that much in the end, because they then went on to not read the clue closely and run through a VAST hotel to find the cluebox, which cost them even more time.
What a cool way to get to the final finish line -- a night jump over Vegas!
Cowboy Jake is going to win, isn't he?
How Does It Feel is just a goddamn sexy song. Damn.
I hope Josh wins, but I do fear that Jake will take it.
