Agreed (with DaffyKD and jitterbug13) - when I was explaining this to my mom today (she missed the episode) these are all the points I made

I'm really sick of 'Bama - I loved their rationalization that the girls shouldn't have yielded them, because (paraphrasing here) why would they want to be in the finals with teams that are EQUAL to you?

Ummm.....maybe because they feel that they'd rather race and lose to equals than race and BEAT you! (Or, since Bama is "showing" that they're a strong team, they want to get rid of them )

would you believe that i was sentimental when rob and kim came in first?! i really wanted them to lose, but in reality they are fighting for that top spot. but kim seems like her attitude says, "if we lose, were not getting married"

rob needs to calm his ass down, its ridiculous.

this race has gotten WAYYYYYYY more interesting now that the BQs are out. had it not been for the penalty and the wrong directions, they mightve beaten out the models.

i wanna see them race here in nyc!

Goodbye BQs. Ya'll were good and fought hard until the end.

Both Rob and Kim need to calm down. But I really hope they or the models beat Bama. I just want them to STFU!!!!

The BQs are gone. There's nobody worth rooting for anymore.

I've been rooting for the models over the BQs all along.

With 'Bama in the final three, I started having Weaver family flashbacks. Ugh! They. simply. must. not. win.

And was I the only one who wanted so badly to be in the crowd throwing tomatoes at Rob & Kimberly and 'Bama?

No, you were not the only one. I was just sorry that Rob & Kimberly went back and did not walk away from the game. Not happy that "Bama" found the clue so quickly.

Unlike most people on this board, the only team I wanted to go to the final 3 were the BQ's. Unfortunately, they made mistakes last week that affected them this week. They were out to have fun while playing the game. Can't stand the 3 teams who are still in the game.

DaffyKD, I too am in the minority in wanting the BQ's in the final 3 - I really thought they had a chance to still make it when they were back into second last night.

Out of the final three teams, the only one I can *make* myself root for is the models (and that's a hard sell for me) - I just can't stand Bama or Rob & Kim (too many Jonathan & Victoria flashbacks for me)

Put me in the minority but I actually like Rob and Kim. They're definitely not as destructive as, say...Colin/Christie and Johnathan/Victoria.

I think this is the first final 3 where I'd be happy for each of the teams if they won the mil.

Kudos to 'Bama though, for being the first all-female team to ever make it to the Final 3.

I want the models to win, then Rob and Kim and then Bama. I barely like the models and I really don't like Rob and Kim or Bama. That being said, maybe this season will remind everyone in the end that with the Amazing Race the winner has nothing to do with likability and everything to do with skill, strength, smarts, and LUCK! There's been other seasons when I've wanted to break my t.v. because of who won. I can only hope that this is not one of those seasons.

I like that there's an all female, all male and male/female team in the final, that's pretty cool. And I don't think anyone at the beginning of the race would've thought Lyn and Karlyn would be the all woman team to make it.
THANK YOU!!! I agree.

Don't know if this has already been posted, but on another MB I frequent, someone posted a link to Dustin's wedding photos.

We've seen people hook up on TAR before, so I was kinda wondering why there was no chemistry between the models and the BQs. Turns out Dustin was already betrothed.

I didn't really care for her on the show, but I'll admit she was an absolutely stunning bride. How cute that Kandice was also a bridesmaid.

I never realized how much taller Kandice is than Dustin. Also, where were those photos taken. There's all this super modern buildings and then one of them standing under the glass flowers in the Bellagio lobby. I guess the flowers are not just at the Bellagio but it left me confused. Almost as confused as to why there were Christmas trees at the church for a July wedding.

I'm assuming that the wedding took place in Washington State. According to Dustin's MAO bio, it said she was from Puyallup -- and there's a highway sign in the series that points to there.

Maybe the Washington GCers might know?

Those pictures are in downtown Tacoma, WA. At least they sure look like it. Now I look closer though, Pioneer park is in Puyallup. So the first ones are Tacoma, the glass flowered window and stuff, the rest are probably Puyallup... The 2 towns are 20 mins apart so feasible.

I finally watched the most recent episode last night and HOLY HELL I am so glad those bitches are gone. I really couldn't stand them.

Of the remaining teams, Rob and Kim are my favorite, but I don't dislike anybody. Sure Bama has a bad attitude sometimes, but I really liked how Karlyn (I think -- this whole season, I haven't known who's who of any same-sex teams, LOL) apologized for getting all snappy. Personally, I prefer teams who get frustrated and pissy once in a while -- it makes them seem more likeable and, well, human, to me than teams like the BQs who are ridiculously upbeat and smiley all the freaking time.
