Really hoping the final three are Ricky/Cesar, Juan/Shane and Rod/Leticia

Juan's originally from Colombia, so there's that. I do think the top two teams had an advantage In that sense, seeing how they didn't really move around this season.Predictable outcome, but one I'm not disappointed with. It's also nice to see that a couple that you wouldn't think would dominate so much (just by looking at them) were such fantastic competitors. Of course, the cynic in me does think that they had an advantage, since Cesar's first language is Spanish...
Frank and Margarita in season 1 famously were in their hometown of NYC for the final leg, he passed his childhood home on the train ride to the finish line, and they still ended up finishing behind Rob and Brennan. It's not always an advantage as much as luck, good directions, a good taxi driver, or whatever it may be.Well that was predictable.As soon as Juan and Shane got lost I knew that was it.
I guess it would be too hard to plan it out, but I don't think they should have the Final Leg in a city where any of the final teams was born and raised. Even if you left when you were 20, you can still find your way around I would think. But way too hard to plan around that I guess.
I don't read any of the articles about the show, but the producers sure did try to make it look close and fake the audience out a bit. I have a feeling it was a total blowout, though.Anyone find an article or something that said how far behind #2 finished behind #1, and then #3 behind #1? I wish they would tell you like "26 minutes later" for #2 and "1 hour, 47 minutes later" for #3 or however long it was each finished after #1, so we could see how close it really was .... or wasn't.
I've told this story before, but one of my ex-coworkers in the bar was approached on the street by a producer the year they had the singles who were teamed up randomly (and there was an insufferable winner). The producer kept trying to get him to go forward in auditioning, and he didn't want to. I read his emails as we worked and I was seething in angerStill waiting for Team FSU to get on the cast! You could wear purple and knit on the plane rides.![]()
In the works.Anyone else hoping she’d say no? I feel like they would have shown wedding pics if the big event ever happened.
AFAIK, Tough as Nails still hasn't been renewed either and it's been a year since the last season aired. I always thought it scored well for CBSThis was a meh season, but at least the final three were all likable and I think Ricky and Cesar would have done well on any season, as they are smart and seem to handle frustration really well.
TAR continues to be an also-ran for CBS: In announcing their 2024-2025 lineup, CBS revealed The Amazing Race 37 will premiere sometime in spring 2025. That means fans will be getting almost a year between seasons.
Big Brother always has an endless pool of TikTok wannabes and marginally talented actors queued up. It’s harder to cast shows where the competitors have to do something to win.Instead, watch us continue to get 100 days of Big Brother which I'm quite sure no one cares for.
Vinny drove me crazy all season.Vinny is so patronizing, and she seems so broken down by him. Every time they get in an argument, he has tons of advice as to how she can work on her improving her character.
Yes, I liked both those teams a lot.I'd be happy enough with either one. Ricky and Cesar are fun and the pilots are good sports.
Me too!OMG, when he said "I hope you learn from this experience blah blah blah," I wanted her to reach around the car seat and strangle him.
I really thought this was unfair. This wasn’t their fault and the crew was SO delayed. Maybe give them a 30 minute or 15 minute or whatever penalty but don’t let them stand there waiting while everyone else passes them. It just wasn’t right. I wonder if they will offer them another chance.I understand that the competitors can't be so driven to get ahead that they leave their crew in their dust and not care, but if the crew gets lost and isn't answering their phone, should the team be penalized?
Well, it’s not always an advantage but I’m sure they have some idea where the season will go when they’re casting, so you’d think they could manage it.I guess it would be too hard to plan it out, but I don't think they should have the Final Leg in a city where any of the final teams was born and raised. Even if you left when you were 20, you can still find your way around I would think. But way too hard to plan around that I guess.
I was very confused about that, too. Way too easy and nothing to do with the race.What was with that final challenge? Isn't the final challenge always some kind of memory test about the race that you just ran? Like matching challenges to cities and put them in order and such? That final challenge had nothing to do with the actual race.
