I was so glad Chip and Reichen won. I think they deserved it. Kelly and John just kept pissing me off, their attitudes towards each other and everyone else just sucked.

i was very happy to see reichen and chip win. i was rooting for them mainly cause i felt bad for them. my sister was like 'eww i dont want the gay guys to win'. that really pissed me off. I think that they are a great couple. just because you might not like how they live doesnt mean they deserve the prize any less. they worked so hard and i am proud of them.

I was really glad when Kelly and Jon didn't win. Normally I'm always rooting for the woman, especially when she's the only one, but they had the race in their hands so many times (like the camera debacle). They just got too lazy 'cause they thought they were going to win. Plus, she was so mean to him!

I was surprised by how it wasn't a three team race for the last leg. David and Jeff were so confident that they were going to win it was weird to see them getting the clue saying that Chip and Reichen had won all the way back at the Volcano park. I know that they had problems with their flight, but I didn't expect it to be so much of a problem that they disappeared for the last half of the episode.

If Kelly and Jon had won instead of Chip and Reichen, I wouldn't have minded, but I didn't mind C&R winning, either. It came down to a real sprint at the end which shows that both teams had the opportunity to win...C&R got the edge with the plane seats and that's all they really needed.

So....when's the next race premiere???

Yeah!! Chip and Reichen won!! They totally deserved that prize. And it was cool to see the other teams cheering them on at the end. I'm so glad I got sucked into this show

Just so you know, Geoff, each race ends with the other eliminatied teams cheering on the remaining teams.

GeoffZ · #**113** 08-22-2003, 12:47 AM

Yeah, I figured as much. I couldn't believe that even Chuck and Millie would actually want Chip and Reichen to win. Oh well, C & R were the winners, so I'm cool.

a good...good...conclusion and an actual race to the end.
boy, that third team's got to feel dumb.

After the clowns got eliminated (*sniff!*

), my husband wanted the goats to win. It was kind of funny with them asking "are we the first to get here?" at the lava field. But it's just like the first season with Team Guido-- they were in Alaska when they opened the clue saying that the other teams had made it back to (Brooklyn?) and that the best friends/lawyers had won it.

Next to the first one, this one was excellent. MUCH better than last season, with Flo winning the whole thing, and MUCH better than second season, with Tara and Will (and his ugly hat).

I think my fave-ever teams have been the clowns and the air traffic controllers from this season, and Cha-Cha-Cha (the florida gay guys) from season two or three. Unlike Team Guido and Chip & Dale, I would have *loved* to see Cha-Cha-Cha take it all, because they were hilarious, caring, smart, sassy, and really well traveled.

I just watched the tape, I actually cried when Chip got out of the taxi (I thought Jon was going to come out because I saw a guy with a cap on through the taxi's window)... and then when they played that triumphant music, yeah I cried. This is only the 2nd episode I've ever watched of The Amazing Race, and I loved it. I'm really happy Chip and Reichen won!

I thought the EXACT same thing! I would have been happy either way, because Kelly and Jon ran a great race, but it was nice seeing Chip and Reichen win.

Talking about fave-ever teams, I only caught the finale of the first season (but that's what hooked me to watch ever since). Second season, I loved Chris and Alex, Blake and Paige, and Team Cha Cha (Danny and Oswald). Third season faves were Ken & Gerard, Derek & Drew, John Vito & Jill, and Gina & Sylvia (the soccer moms). This season, I liked Reichen & Chip (except when they were dumb

), Kelly & Jon, Jon & Al, and Debra & Steve. I want the next race to begin next month, but I know it won't be until January at the earliest...probably not until next summer!

Who were the two frat boys with the shaved heads? I *loved* those two guys! And thanks for reminding me of Danny & Oswald's real names. And yes, Ken & Gerard were hilarious.
