TAR 12

[nittanyalum]

WHY do I keep missing my favorite show? Hubby and I were out and for some reason I kept saying "I need to get back by 9 to watch TAR". Get back, and some Lonesome Dove prequel is on.

So, I'm reading into these previous threads that Jenny-Jen-Jen and the Nate-master are gone. Is that right??!?!? Because then I'll still be able to be a little happy, even if I couldn't watch them get the boot....

SOOO happy! I can watch the final 3 knowing that they won't win the million! Of the final 3, I'd actually be okay with any of them winning (and I think this might be the first season I feel that way). Each of the teams left, while some have been more annoying than others, have at least grown or have done things in a way that isn't too sleazy--and I think in their own way the final 9 players are likeable.

9????

I was so happy when the birthday girl was eliminated. So sick of her telling him that she hates him. Couldn't believe how upset she was because TK and Rachel caught up with them at the immigration counter. Her pouting was obnoxious. I would hate for my family to watch the show and see me pouting because TK and Rachel were playing a fantastic game.

Yeah, I didn't want to totally say Nate and Jen because it was early and I didn't want to post spoilers for those on the West coast. Now though? Woooohooo! They are gone! How embarassed would you be to watch yourself acting like them after the fact? I couldn't take her whining anymore.

I love how much the dad has changed in the father/daughter team. I think this game changed their lives for the better. I do think they've had a significant advantage in the last couple legs because she knew the language, but their teamwork has gotten them to where they are, ultimately. I didn't like when the daughter told the woman at the ticket desk to tell other teams that there were no more seats. Win on your own merit, not by playing dirty.

I really admire the grandfather in that team. He has kept up with the young folks in a very impressive way. His grandson has showed a lot of compassion too, always checking on how grandpa is doing, "can you run?", things like that. Again, memories that the grandson will cherish when grandpa passes on.

TK and Rachel have done a great job of working together, respecting each other and not losing their cool. They even recognized that they almost really screwed up because they were losing it (at the floating gardens) and pulled it back together. They made an amazing comeback during this leg of the race.

I was glad to see Nate and Jen leave as well, though I will say that my wife thought they made up for a bit of their childishness at the very end.

Pulling for TK and Rachel now. I won't mind if Christina wins, but I still don't like her dad.
