TAR 12

I'm sad that it's over too, but I love that TK & Rachel won! I figured Christina and Ron didn't win when they were showing her being really cocky in the beginning of the show. Just a little smug about the whole going to the lounge to check out the Alaska location on the internet. I felt really bad for Nick and Don when they forgot to grab their bag of gear. For a 69 year old man to do all the things he did.. wow! Climbing that glacier? He was great!

TK & Rachel won because they kept their cool almost all the time. I think they only freaked out once, and that was the leg that they ended up losing. They seem like a good couple overall.

Co-sign. And from them being three hours behind and in last place two episodes ago to winning the $1 million, THEY DESERVED TO WIN. This is the first time in a while that a team that I liked actually won.

And they probably showed Nate and Jen how to really play the game.

That last roadblock was HARD. A lot harder than the usual last task, like "arrange the flags in the order of the countries you visited." It really tested brains and keeping cool under pressure.

My sentiments exactly.

I'm always so sad when it ends, though.

And again, my sentiments exactly.

This is such a random bump, I know...

I ran in the Cherry Blossom 10 mile race in DC this morning, and part of the course doubles back on itself so for about two miles, you're on one side of the road and the people slower or faster than you are on the other side.

I was chugging along around the mile 9 marker when I looked up and saw Christina and Azaria from TAR crossing the mile 7 marker and just about fell over! This was the first season I really watched, and to see them outside of my TV was super weird.

My husband and I actually ran into them again after the race walking to the metro, so I started talking to them. Christina lives in DC and Azaria was visiting her...I got the impression they were dating. Both of them were really sweet, Azaria is really quick-witted and was cracking jokes nonstop and Christina actually seems pretty shy. They registered under fake names and nobody really seemed to recognize them, which I'm sure they enjoyed. And they shared their cashews with me, which I definitely appreciated
