SAME here. That was a nail-biter, but it couldn't have ended better. I was so happy when they jumped into that taxi.

Hard to say who will win, but I'm hoping for Gary & Mallorie.

Though the elaborate hair style K&V sported during their interviews was a dead giveaway as to who got voted out this leg (they're filming them after they finish each leg right, so it was weird seeing V's crazy hair all of the sudden they looked the same as during the race on previously) I still thought that was a nailbiting finale.

I'm sooo glad they were eliminated. From K's first sentence (he couldn't reach his hood? WHAAAAT?) I just didn't have enough strength to go through another episode with them...

I am so sad Zev and Justin just got the boot in fourth place! That sucks so much, I love them. And I will forever have a TV crush on Justin. Also, I feel like they should've gotten some sort of consolation prize for enduring the 40 Year Old Virgin-esque waxing.

OK I'm rooting for Gary and Mal. It's time for a parent/child team to win this race, as I believe that's never happened. I like Kisha/Jen and Flight Time/Big Easy, though, so I won't be upset with whoever wins.

Congratulations to Kisha and Jen! They ran a really clean, solid, efficient race. They had significantly less bickering this time and their relationship was more fun to observe. Also: who could have predicted that after 16 straight seasons of no all-female teams winning, we would get two in a row? Yay.

Flight Time and Big Easy...they would've been fine winners too but they were my least favorite of the four going into the finale.

While I was rooting for Gary and Mallory to win after Zev/Justin got the boot, they still did much better this season than last season. I know some people don't like Mallory but I always enjoyed her spunk, and Gary rocks.

Overall, a good season. I felt like the tasks in the finale were kinda lame but that seems true whenever they get back to America in the final leg.

Blah winners. When Zev & Justion got eliminated I rooted for Gary & Mallorie, but once they got that idiotic taxi driver I knew they had no chance. Gosh, those taxi drives can kill a team. I'd love if they somehow plan a race where taking a taxi drive would be completely obsolete.

I liked all final four teams, so I really didn't mind who won.

I would have preferred Gary and Mallorie after Zev and Justin (Statham, as I like to call him. Doesn't he look like he could sorta, kinda be Jason Statham's younger brother a little? So I liked to call him Justin Statham during this season)'s elimination, but I actually really liked Kisha and Jen. The Globe Trotters would have been fine but were at the back for me in terms of winning.

Good final race. I really didn't mind who won, unlike most seasons where there's also one really shitty team in the finals who either win or are srs contenders.

I'm in the could have been worse camp. I just didn't want to see the Globetrotters win.

It is unfortunate that a taxi driver had a major impact on the final leg of the race again, they should have it so that final legs are public transportation and on foot navigation dependent.

My biggest disappointment lies in the fact that there was no memory task that trailer park task was something that might have been rejected on TAR: family edition.

This show will never reach the level it rose to in the first 7 seasons, but it's good enough to keep me coming back.
