I completely agree.

Was it me, or when they showed the Chos and the BQs, did you keep thinking "ya'll should have been in the finals"?

Earlier in the season I would have agreed, but they turned out to be such disappointing racers.

Yes, it is an international airport -- Bama flew into Orly from Spain. Orly has flights to and from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean. No flights to or from North America, though, so flights to Newark were not an option. The best they could have gotten at Orly was a flight to another city (say London) where they could have connected to a flight to NYC.

What I didn't understand is why no teams went to a travel agent. Might have secured a seat on the earlier flight, and Bama might have avoided the trip to Orly.

But who's excited for All-Stars??? I've heard about people who won't be on All-Stars and some who will be (from seeing other message boards) but I don't want to spoil that for people.

I've seen some of the rumors and the confirmations, and I'll admit I played the very short preview last night in slow motion to see which teams were shown in the "stars." Some I was very glad to see, while others produced a groan. Of course, no way of knowing whether all the teams pictured -- there were a lot -- will be in the race.

That's probably why the clue said "convince a New York cabbie to take you to Garrison." And yes, cameras probably do help.

As for money, they've been given varying amounts at the beginning of each leg of the race.

and from a TV/ratings perspective, Bama winning wouldve made better TV. they had the most on the line for their families. they seemed to be struggling a lot in the race (i started watching mid season) and to make it in the top 3 as the first female team - amazing. their day-after interviews wouldve been more interesting than the models and overall wouldve made for a better finale.

Are you suggesting that the producers should fix the race based on who would make "better TV."

In any event, I disagree. I saw Tyler and James on The Morning Show this morning, and they were quite interesting enough. (Had to tape the later interview when they got the check and when usually other teams are there.) I wouldn't have cared at all to see Karlyn and Lynn, since I've wanted them off of my television screen for weeks now. Sorry -- Lynn has come across as a little more likeable the last week or two, and their racing definitely improved -- but I was way beyond tired of their hypocrisy and sour attitude. I didn't mind at all that they got left in Paris and we didn't have to watch them anymore until the finish line.
