TAR with no game :( But we've got Chippendales

[Prancer]

I also liked the TWINNIES, but they're kind of like the friends you have at a party that needs livening up, but to go away with them on a vacation and spend a lot of time together...that'd be WAY too much!!

PML! That is a perfect description of them.

Buttons poppin' and everything! (Gosh, I do love me some cowboys!!)

I enjoyed the twinnies when they were laughing at themselves and snarking on the tasks, but their behavior when they and Texas took the hippie's money turned me off.

I was definitely pulling for a Chippendales win but was thrilled for the Goats. Although the Goats sucked at the athletic challenges, they totally rocked the intellectual challenges and really did quite well on the non-athletic physical challenges.

This finale was high up in terms of a fun and satisfying ending. I love how close the race was for most of the episode, I hate it when one team ends up so far out in front they would have to end up in an alternate universe in order to lose.

Would love to see the Chippendales and Twinnies back for an all-star turn.

This^, is why I like them. I love the gingerbread men and women.

Was really hoping for the Chippies to win, but the Goats were my second choice so okay with that. I didn't want the Twinnies or Texas to win simply because of the stealing the money thing. And really by about 8:15p I knew the Goats were going to win. Once they did that little scene on the train where the "cool kids were slamming on the nerds" scenario, I knew that was it and the Goats were going to win. They way they kept editing it, I could just see the Goats winning. But they were my second favorites so I'm sort of happy for the outcome.

That last challenge was brilliant. I never would have thought to make note of that either. I would be writing in my book who was at the mat, what they looked like, what they were wearing, everything little detail of the mat greeting ... but never would have thought to write down what they said, especially since it was just hello and goodbye. I was with Jaymes, just thought they were being cordial.

So note to future races, write down every damn thing that happens. Ever.

What an incredibly awesome and well written post by the Goats! Such cool people, and the gingerbread people were spot on and fantastic. The decorations were so perfect!

I'm even happier today that they won

Wow. And everything they wrote about each couple, just based on what we saw on TV with no personal interaction, is so true. Even if it was a team I didn't like.

But I'm confused about Ryan's gingerbread man. What's that mean?

I guess Gen and I are the only ones who found the twinnies hysterical. I loved them and their ability to laugh at themselves.

Count me in, as well

Is the prize on TAR not like most reality shows where that million dollar prize is paid out as a 20 year annuity? One million dollars sounds like a lot, but over 20 years, it's not so much. Especially since it's split and then taxed. Of course, it will let you pay the taxes while those trip and car prizes are taxed as income with no cash to let them be paid. Unless, they have the option of a cash payout instead.

I'm pretty sure that the prize money for the reality shows (at least the CBS ones -- Survivor, Big Brother, TAR) are all paid in one lump-sum. I know that Sophie who won Survivor: South Pacific had a twitter conversation with another cast member from that season and she said jokingly, "I'm the millionaire between us," and they said, "not exactly, you had to pay a good chuck of that to taxes," and she wittingly said back, "April hasn't come yet "

Awesome!
Their observations about each team are astute, yet positive, as well.

I just loved this season, and the finale was awesome!

Way cool! Nice guys and very respectiful to share links for the other racers.

I liked the twins for a couple of legs. I was annoyed by how LOUD they were, especially as they performed tasks and then at the end when they yelled over and over for the Chips and Lexi/Trey to lose the Goats. That said, they were very funny.

Thank you for posting this! They seem like delightful people, and I'm thrilled they won.

DaveRocks, please pass on MY thank you, to them!

Love the Gingerbreads! Thanks as well for the link.

Lexie's sobbing breakdowns whenever she the tasks got tough turned me off so I was rooting for either of the guy teams to win.

This. She was a bit of a whine merchant when things didn't go her way.

I thought TWINNIES were hilarious (EVILLE Gays!), the Chippendales HOTT and the Goaties seemed really nice so I was happy with whoever won out of those three.

Kind of sad that only one team knew the UN symbol and that was probably because they live/lived in NYC.

[professordeb]

I found it amusing that 2 out of the 3 teams didn't know the UN symbol. I've never been to NYC but even I recognized the symbol. Perhaps it's a sign of my "old" age

Finally watched the finale! I'm happy for the Goats. I've said all along that the Goats and Chips were my favorites. This is the first season in I don't know how long that I've actually liked the winners. In fact, I'm going out on a limb and saying this was my favorite season behind the season that Chip and Kim won, you know, the "my ox is broken" season. I even grew to kind of like the Twinnies, although I'm glad they were eliminated before the final three. Best part of all, God heard my prayers and allowed the Chippendales to stay all the way to the end. Yes, there is a God!
