The Amazing Race 20 Season Finale Blog Party


Welp, this is it. It's the season finale. And, much to my dismay, Brendon and Rachel are still in it. Sigh. Tonight is a two-hour show ... I wouldn't mind it if the last hour didn't include them! I know. I'm a cruel person. But I'm SO tired of seeing their drama! If I had to cheer on a remaining team, I think I'd go for the Other Rachel and Dave.

As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major events. However, the real fun is in the comments area. Come join us! (And bring snacks!)

The teams are headed off to Japan. The teams will bunch up on the same flight. Brenchel missed the bus which the rest of the teams caught. Too bad, so sad. Sigh. They caught up. Now it's Dave and Rachel behind by missing the ferry.

Heh. The Roadblock is a Japanese TV game show!

The Detour has sushi and sumo premises. Sushi bingo, then eat. Or, with the latter, convince locals to pose for photographs with sumo wrestler cut-outs.

Rachel and Dave hit the Pit Stop first, tying the record for the most first place wins. They won a trip to New Zealand.
2. Art and JJ
3. Brenchel

Vanessa and Ralph are Philiminated

Teams are heading to Hawaii. After rappelling up and down a 45 story tower, the Roadblock has them shaving ice. JJ and Art are trailing.

Whoa! Brenchel took a cab when the clue said to go on foot!

Rachel and Dave arrived at the Pit Stop before completing the Roadblock! Eek! JJ and Art are at the Roadblock while Brenchel has yet to reach it. Art is stuck at the Roadblock, Rachel and Dave are on their way back to the Pit Stop.

RACHEL AND DAVE WIN THE AMAZING RACE!

Art and JJ make it second. Brenchel is third.

  4. Hey, I'm talking to myself here... well, Jackie and myself.

  5. Hi Jackie & Everyone,
    I saw Mark & Bopper on TV this week. Mark found out he lost his job when he returned from TAR.
    I have Chicken enchildas vedre, refried beans and rice leftover from Cinco de Mayo. They always taste better the second day to me.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I also have Vanessa and Ralph in the pool. She's really mean. I can't really get behind them for the win.

  7. ~~~Splash~~~

    Hard type well. My up is laying on my lap. I don't usually peck with 2 fingers. LOL

  8. They gave Kentucky money? How nice!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Hi lynn1 and Penny. Lynn, your food sounds yummy even if leftovers.

    ReplyDelete
  10. ooops, my pup is on my lap

    ReplyDelete
  11. I have Brendon & Rachel in the pool. I am not a big fan but I will root for them simply because even with rachel's drama they have been very competitve and tried hard to win.
    Regardless if they win or lose I hope they will crawl back into the shadows forever and a day.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mark lost his job? How sad. Hopefully,someone will hire him.

    Hi Everyone!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Who we rooting for to win?

    ReplyDelete
  14. monty,
    The enchildas I make are too darn good. I need to quit making them.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I wonder what team missed part of their clue and has to go back at the end? Anyone have spoilers?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like that Rachel and Brendon beat Art and JJ to the jump. Have I said that I don't like them either? lol

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'll scream if Brachel wins.

    They are showing too much of Dave and Rachel. I do not think they will win. But of all of them, I'd rather have them then anyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm rooting for the two Rachel teams. Either one I'll be happy with. If it's Brendon and Rachel, I agree with lynn1. They need to just go away after this.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, there's no way they can catch up now.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think they can catch up. It depends on the tasks.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well,if Brachel wins, she'll just spend the money on $500 hair extensions. LOL However, I like them better than Art and JJ and Vanessa and Ralph. I think Rachel and Dave cannot catch up now. Hope I'm wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Conan and Kardashian... that was sort of funny if it hadn't come from the bullies.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi everyone!
    I've missed the whole season due to my promise to myself never to watch Rachel again. Oh well. Next season I'll be back.
    I did want to say hi to everyone and wish you all a good week. It's only 5:30 here, but I'm starving. I'll dip into some of your goodies if you don't mind!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hey Laurie! Can't wait to see you during BB season. Oh Yeah! It will be here before we know it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. How long has he been in college? He seems to be a perpetual, long term student....

    ReplyDelete
  26. LOL I LOVE Japanese game shows. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  27. Omg, can you just imagine Rachel doing this? Funny stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  28. That wasn't hard. Anyone else think that the challenges this season have been pretty lame?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Okay, I'm getting my Vanessa and Ralph dislike out big time on this challenge. Sorry, but LOL

    ReplyDelete
  30. LMAO. This is tooo funny. I LOVE it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. O.o

    I would have thought she was more athletic than that!?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, she made it but I suppose Karma got her this task.

    ReplyDelete
  33. these people are all pretty yucky...suddenly Brenchel look like the best of a bad bunch.

    ReplyDelete
  34. They are probably the strongest team left in this and they can't get passed the fighting. Sigh!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi Monty.

    Technically, chicken McNuggets are "sushi". I believe it just means "small bites" in Japanese.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ut oh, the BINGO doesn't look so easy now.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well, I don't eat chicken McNuggets either. lol

    ReplyDelete
  38. Something about the processing of it all grosses me out, ICK!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. You know, though, it has to be stressful. No me time or anything. 24/7 has to be VERY hard sometimes and very stressful.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Of course Art and JJ did it. Darnit!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Rachel is close to tears so I'm DRINKING! Down the hatch

    ReplyDelete
  42. One of my Rachel teams has made it. Yes!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Well, Jackie our peeps are out of it. If she had been easier to root for, I wouldn't be happy to see them eliminated.

    ReplyDelete
  44. ~~SPLASH~~~

    Sorry I'm so late but I sneaked a look during dinner...

    I brought some birthday cake and ice cream so grab some before it all melts!

  45. I won't miss Vanessa the mean girl.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Well, I hope Art and JJ get booted. However, Brachel are not underdogs, even though they say they are.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Too much face time...I'm wondering if Rachel and Dave are the team who does something wrong and has to go back to redo it? Like in the previews. Well, it just might be Brachel who wins this.

    ReplyDelete
  48. You might be onto to something. It would be a shame to get that many firsts and then mess up on the final leg.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That would freak me out too. I'm terrified of heights.

    ReplyDelete
  50. That's a hard one. You would need great upper body strength to do it. That's high up!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Mark and Bopper would never have been able to do this one. Nor would I. I could go down, but would probably have a heart attack going up!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Is that the guy from Hawaii 5O

    ReplyDelete
  53. I hear you Jackie. Same here!

    Well, there's a big OOPS!

    ReplyDelete
  54. ON FOOT nails someone each season!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Too bad for brandon & rachel

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yep! Always, always, always read the CLUE. The difference between winning and losing.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Geesh! Okay, I'm not rooting for Brenchal now, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  58. OMG! Who's next?

    That's what I thought. Too much face time..

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oh my! I thought I missed something and now I realize Rachel and Dave did, lol

    ReplyDelete
  60. Art and JJ (UGH) are in 2nd place. I just don't like them.

  80. Penny - For the blog pool? Offhand, I don't remember. Margo was the pool guard and I know today's her birthday. So she's probably going to be late posting the results.
