The Amazing Race 12 January 13, 2008

Happy New Year!!

Well we are near the finish line and I personally can't wait to see who wins.

Japan looks great and a place that is on my list of places to visit.

And of course there is the equalizer where the stupid garden doesn't open until 10:00 am so it gives TK and Rachel a chance to catch up. And they did in the immigration line at Taipei and from my experience in Shanghai, those lines are long and eats up a lot of time.

The Road Block looks awesome. I think I would so do it because it would not be my brother's thing and I want to experience as much as I can in life. Ron's face looks hilarious. The underswater bit is the scary bit as 17 seconds is indeed a long time. And it seems like no hardship to drink a whole cup of tea to get the next clue unless it a really digusting tea.

What a cool speed bump, better than the yoga one that the Goths did.

The previous tip from the local paid off for TK and Rachel about using the ticket machine. It was indeed faster.

I love the fact that the clue was in Chinese and that Ron and Chris knew where to go and what to look for. I love it. And the night market is always cool.

Earth seems faster than Fire. Writing 20 messages of luck seems time consuming. While the path may hurt you can run to finish it. But I agree with Chris that it is mind over matter. I would run for it but I guess if it is jagged it would hurt. I am so glad that Ron and Kris did not fight at all during this leg. They worked well and had tremendous luck throughout the whole leg too.

I am sooooo happy that Ron and Chris are number one and are going to run for the $1 million. They are the first team after the BQs that I want to win and this time I hope that they do. The finish with the final three is all false editing-Nate and Jen are goners. Glad that TK and Rachel will also run too! And Nick and Don too!!!! YEAH!!!! Best! Final! Three! Ever! I don't care who wins now as long as it wasn't Nate and Jen. So glad they were eliminated, they were so toxic and I think they are definitely broken up.

Basically, I am ok with any of the teams winning but would be ecstatic if Ron and Chris won above all.

Can't wait for the season finale next week.
