I worried about that team because they weren't world-savvy, wily, or physically strong. So I wasn't too surprised when they were eliminated early. But I almost cried when he said afterward that there was no one in the world he would rather have shared this with because there was no one that he trusted more to watch his back. And this was AFTER she had messed up again and again, finally resulting in their elimination. They may not have the million dollar prize, but I'm glad they have each other.
The first time I saw Phil signing to Margie and Luke "You are team number one" I cried. This show pushes all my emotional buttons and makes me cry a
lot. Do you guys remember the season in which the last leg was in southern Florida and the African American couple in the lead didn't have money to pay their cab driver? The other two teams were closing in on them, but they wouldn't leave their cabbie and run to the finish line until they had flagged down enough cars to beg the money to pay him. I saw shouting at the tv, "Give him and IOU and run to the finish line!!" OMG, I'm tearing up just remembering it. I wonder how that couple is doing now. Anybody know? They were going to use their winnings to try for an in vitro baby.
