Well folks we are in the homestretch and next Sunday is the season finale and who expected the final three to include the Bama's. I mean it was expected to have the models and the couple in most need of therapy in there but the Blondes should have been there. It was obvious that they were eliminated when everyone was bunched together to get to the pit stop.
I really think it was unfair how everyone wanted to gang up on them to get them out but I understand why they wanted them out because they were a very strong team. I really think it sucks that they are not racing for the million; they really deserve too. Dustin and Kandice are the strongest all-female team I have ever seen in the Amazing Race and I hope they get to be in the All-star edition that will be rumoured to be the next race.
Anyways, the episode the was interesting. The road block was awesome and I totally would have done it but the way it looked, I thought I would have to cook and eat a camel head - that I don't think I could do. In the end, it was just grinding camel meat to make sausages. It looked good and all the teams said it smelled and tasted good.
Then it was off to Barcelona, a very pretty city and the pit stop looked gorgeous. It looked like the Blondes really were going to come in first but the equalizer was the airport then the maze not opening up until the morning. Then most of the teams got lost in the maze then getting out. Except for Bama who calmly found there way out and I am glad that the Blondes praised Bama for being calm as being a smart way to play. But I wish Karlyn would stop being such a sourpuss, she always looks so pissed off in the team confessionals, in the car, during road blocks and detours. I mean I am glad that they are the first all-female team in the final but Karyln could be their downfall. But more on that later.
As for the detours, I wouldn't do a needle in a haystack choice so I was surprised that Rob and Kimberly and the Bama's chose that one but it was hilarious to see Kim get pummelled by the tomatoes and Rob throwing it at the locals, it was like a snowball fight. I wish Karlyn would have thrown some to let off some frustration.
But I don't know which one I would have chose. I am fairly short so having to carry a giant would have been daunting. But I would have been the smarter task as long as you knew where to go in terms of the square.
So now my thoughts on the final three:
Tyler and James: A strong team and they will probably will win since all-male teams that are young and physical (sorry Ken and Gerard from AR3 -the only other all-male team in a final not to win) usually win. Their downfall could be that they have poor navigational skills and sometimes don't think before heading off to a route marker or doing a task. But, I think they are also a bit arrogant in thinking that they will because Bama is in the final three and they are not as physical as them. Which brings me to:
Lyn and Karlyn: Yes, they are not physical and that could be their downfall but since leaving the six pack, they've come in 2nd place. They are smart and calmer but Karlyn could be their downfall with her negativity. I mean I want an all-female team to win but does it have to be them. I really wanted Kandice and Dustin. If anything, I want Lyn to win. She is a saint and patient to put up with Karlyn. I think this is the first time that I want one person in a team and not the other since Flo and Zach from AR3 -we all remember them don't we!
Rob and Kimberly: My brother said last night that Kim looked like the Wicked Witch of the East (aka Elphaba - if you've seen or read Wicked then you'll know what I mean) and I agree. I really don't want them to win. Their arguing gets on my nerves and it really bothers me that he calls Kim, the woman he wants to marry, "dude" and Rob's beard is crazy annoying. The way they behave in stressful situations will be their downfall and their poor navigational skills and poor communication skills might prevent them from winning the million.
My prediction on who will win: Tyler and James
Who I want to win: The Blondes. Just kidding: Lyn (and I guess Karlyn)
Looking forward to next week.
