Just finished watching the first half of the finale. DRAT!

DaffyKD

I loved my boys, but they a) already won a car each, and b) went out on their own mistake. Zev couldn't do the samba, so they lost. Such is life. I was much sadder to see G/M have no chance in the last leg because of their cabbie.

Jen and Kisha, though? Adorable. The most satisfying win in years.

I know! I felt bad for Zev and Justin during the dancing part. And what crappy luck Gary and Mal had with their incompetent cabbie! :(

I loved the Brazilian waxing scenes, though. Priceless!

I know.

They went out on two mistakes -- Zev's "dancing" and the desision to sell bikinis instead of mixing drinks. It wasn't clear but it looked like there might have been a possibility to make up some time if they hadn't wasted time trying to sell bikinis.

That was frustrating to watch.

I was eh about them. They were probably my least favorite team among the final four, although I liked them this season a lot more than I did their last season. Not complaining or disappointed, but I wasn't bowled over either.

And where was the traditional final challenge that required them to do something that related back to everywhere they'd been? I really missed that.

Since they were all returning teams, maybe the producers had a feeling a memory challenge might be expected? I don't know.

After the Goths were eliminated I knew I was going to be happy with any of the remaining 4 -- but I really really really REALLY wanted G/M to win. Loved their positive outlook on everything, even when they got the cabbie from hell. If it were up to me I wouldn't have gone with that cabbie based on how quick he got into the car.

Maybe it was the editing, but I noticed that when Kisha and Jen won, there cameras did not show much of Margie and Luke at all. I would have loved to have seen their reaction, given how they pretty much came to blows in their previous season - where Luke did some shoving and Kisha called him a "bitch".

I would have experienced some delicious "schadenfreude" to have seen Luke's face as the Sister Act came through the finish line in 1st place..... :p
