The Amazing Race Finale--How Sweet the Sound

This was one of the better finale episodes because any one of the three teams could have won. They were all on the same flight from Prague to Vegas and at every challenge they were all right on each other's heels. I did not want Meghan and Cheyne to win because I hate it when the expected team triumphs. I would have prefered Team Zebra or even the gay brothers which would have driven 90 percent of the viewership crazy. And how could they not know who the final team was when they were in the airport in Prague? Did they stop sequestering everyone together?

I guess Meghan and Chayne did deserve to win. Despite going to the wrong hotel for the penultimate challenge and Cheyne closing his eyes during the face-first repel, they finished counting the million in chips first because they kept their cool and didn't get all flustered like Dan did. Now on the Amazing Race 16.

I got a Facebook email from my friend and fellow TAR enthuiast Lydia that several teams were seen leaving the LA airport on Nov. 28 for The Amazing Race 16 including two guys from Big Brother 11--I have no idea who they are, the only Big Brother I watched was the one with Evil Dick--and a former Miss South Carolina who gave the stupidest answer in the history of pageantdom--even dumber than Carrie Prejean's. This girl's the one who didn't know her geography very well and just rambled for 15 minutes. They made a joke about the irony of her being on the Amazing Race on The Soup this weekend, so it must be true. Will the new Amazing Race 16 overlap with Project Runway 7 so my life will have meaning again?

Final summary Day 17--leave Prague, fly to Vegas with a layover in London. Day 18--race to Elvis impersonator chapel--was the real the wedding for that couple? I hope not; face-first repel (BTW, how could you not know Monte Carlo is the capital of Monaco?), Cirque du Soleil challenge, race to the MGM to meet a face-lifted Wayne Newton, finish line at Newton's house. Malibu Ken and Barbie win, Sam and Dan second, Erika and Brian third. We now know Erika's family hasn't fully accepted Brian because of his race, but is Brian's family all hunky-dory with the whole interracial thing? I guess so.
