Welp, this is it. It's the two-hour season finale. I'm so hoping the twins don't win. Although annoying (to me), I have to give them credit for being a much stronger team than I thought they would be in the beginning. We all know that since Abbie and Ryan got the boot, the two million dollar prize is off the table. But a million is nothing to sneeze at! Plus, running the race is just such a wondrous adventure. I'd love to tag along with them!
As always, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. But the real party is in the comments area. Be there or be square. Or, something like that ...
The teams are heading to France. Sigh, product placement for the Ford Escape kick tailgate doohickey. The twins have a speed bump and are really upset with the Beekman boys, Josh and Brent.
Detour -- Chow or Plow. Feed hunting hounds or use horse and plow to cultivate a field. After the Detour, Trey and Lexi are in the lead, followed by the Chippendales. Then the Beekman Boys!
Roadblock - Who's a fun guy? Searching for mushrooms. Trey and Lexi are heading to the Pit Stop, followed by James and Jaymes. Beekman Boys are lost and the twins are behind. Gah, the the Beekmans got to the cave for the mushrooms and the twins are there now, too.
Yay! James and Jaymes are the first to the Pit Stop! They each won a Ford Escape. Surprise, surprise. One of them was saying how his mother needed a car. Trey and Lexi are the second team to arrive.
Gah, the twins are done with the Roadblock before the Beekmans.
I can't believe it! The Beekman Boys beat out the obnoxious twins! Karma!
The teams are flying to NYC and the Coney Island boardwalk. That would be pre-Sandy, of course. All three teams keep walking by the clue! Now they have to head to the Brooklyn Navy Yard (where an ex of mine used to work!). Sigh. James and Jaymes are still looking for the clue as the other two teams head off.
Roadblock - Who's ready for an amazing escape? It's a Houdini related strait jacket hanging upside down bungee jumping thing.
Trey and Lexi are leading, now in the first pizzeria in NY (Lombardi's) and must deliver 10 pizzas.
I believe they're heading to the United Nations now.
Yep, I'm right. Trey and Lexi still in the lead. Chippendales just got to the pizzas, but the Beekmans made the deliveries wrong.
Roadblock - Who has a way with words? They have to match hellos and goodbyes from the various countries traveled in the race in order. Yikes.
OMG - Josh and Brent are on the way to the Pit Stop first! Lexi is breaking down. James and Jaymes are done with the Roadblock now.
The BEEKMAN BOYS (GOAT FARMERS) WIN THE AMAZING RACE!
James and Jaymes came in second.
~~~SPLASH~~~ Hi Jackie! And, thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteHey there. I can't believe it's actually starting on time tonight!
ReplyDelete~~~SPLASH~~~
ReplyDeleteHi Jackie, Hi Penny!
I can't believe I'm still in the pool!! (for both shows)
SueGee on the left coast
Quiet start here tonight!
ReplyDeleteHey, Jackie, Penny and SueG
ReplyDeleteI brought grilled chicken, brocolli and cauliflower.
ReplyDeleteDrinking word, twinie.
::waving::
ReplyDeleteI had to finish my dinner. Late eating tonight.
ReplyDeleteHi folks. I'm sitting over here against the wall, quietly. Can't walk and talk at the same time....
ReplyDeletehi folks.
ReplyDeleteSTILL don't care who wins. LOL. I guess it's too late to find a team to root for. I suppose I should root against the Beekman's on principle, since they already have their own TV show.
Hi Becky, SueGee, Silk and Joe!
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm late, but I made it. The Beekman's have a tv show?
ReplyDeleteYes, my sister is a huge fan of their TV show. She finds them very funny. Not sure which cable channel it is on, but it is a reality show following them on the farm. I'm guessing it is a cable network owned by CBS. LOL
ReplyDeletePenny, the English Fox Hounds look like Beagles.
ReplyDeleteBecky -- Beagles!
ReplyDeleteJoe -- you are probably right about their network! lol
ReplyDeleteLove to hear them bay -- that is unless I am trying to watch TV or talk on the phone.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I saw a dog like yours yesterday. They are beautiful.
The Texans are doing great on plowing.
Oh gosh, they are behind. Come on Jaymes and James.
ReplyDeleteShut up girls. You are rude!!!

ReplyDeleteYeah, Jackie. I love them. They are the clowns of the dog world.
ReplyDeleteThey are on the Cooking channel
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for the Texans (my pool picks) Eating dinner Pot Roast with veggies - plenty to share!
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Come on Chippies!
ReplyDeleteYes, they do, Becky. I love Foxhounds. I think they Have Harriers too
ReplyDeleteI thought the Beekmans' show was cancelled in 2010 after Season Three. It was on the Planet Green channel. Josh has also written a couple of memoirs, and there's a cookbook with their farm's recipes.
ReplyDeleteI am sick of the twins saying "bloody" and "evil gays."
ReplyDeleteThey are now in second place.
ReplyDeleteI know two women who have 2 Great Pyrenees, each. Beautiful dogs. Very friendly.
ReplyDeleteROFLOL They eat like Beagles too!
ReplyDeleteThose twins are so horrible. Mean, mean women. Bigots.
ReplyDeleteWho is "they"? (Some of us can't actually watch for several hours LOL)
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Jackie, I am sick of the twins period!
ReplyDeleteI met a cool Labradoodle (sp?) yesterday ... gorgeous sweetheart of a dog. Much bigger than I thought, though!
ReplyDeleteJ & J, the Chippies.
ReplyDeleteI know, isn't that funny, Becky? Heehee. They just gulp it.
ReplyDeleteTo amend my previous comment, Planet Green had the first 2 seasons of the Beekmans' show, the Cooking Channel the 3rd.
ReplyDeleteAnon - according to the cooking channel website, The Fabulous Beekman Boys are on Thursdays at 10 p.m.
ReplyDeleteSue - I'm updating the post with things. It's Trey and Lexi, followed by James and Jaymes and then the Beekman Boys. What a shame ... the twins are currently in last place.
ReplyDeleteGreat Pyrenees are known more as suspicious than friendly. They are flock guarding dogs by breeding and (unfortunately) were bred to work alone with no shepherd. So they are (LOL) genetically predisposed to NOT listen to you. But they are beautiful and very brave and usually friendly to humans though often not friendly with other dogs.
ReplyDelete@ Jackie...LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info on their show(s). I will check them out sometime!
ReplyDeleteEvery year our vet have Mr. & Mrs. Santa come to the clinic. You can take your pet in to have their picture taken. We took my two girls and Momma's dog Little Bit. My girls have scarves, and I went to Hobby Lobby to find one for LB. They were out of the Christmas ones. I bought him a red bow tie. He was adorable. I will give Momma the picture of him as one of her Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie!!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out the Beekman's web site and was impressed. Still want them to come in 3rd :o)
SueGee
Wow, she got it right! Come on, though, Jaymes and James.
ReplyDeleteGood, my two favorite teams are in the lead.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, Becky! Your momma will LOVE that picture. You've got to post it somewhere! How cool!!
ReplyDeleteThe Chippies got there first.
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! The boys!!! Yes!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Lexi and Trey do not fall too far behind.
ReplyDeleteGood. My two favorites! Go Jaymes and James; and Lexi and Trey
ReplyDeleteI've been to many of the places they are visiting today. Possibly for the first time in TAR!
ReplyDeleteThese girls are so hateful. How mean.
ReplyDeleteDANG IT!!!!!!! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteI will, Penny. We are having problems loading the CD on the computer. I will have to call the vet's office. Mr. & Mrs. S run an animal rescue. They do not charge for the pictures, it is on a donation basis.
ReplyDeleteDarn! Looks like the twins took third.
I bet the pictures are so cute, Becky. You might have to manually open the CD.
ReplyDeleteWe get a message that the disk may be corrupted.
ReplyDeleteThe twins will probably run over the cat!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope those twins get lost.
ReplyDeleteDang it. I didn't want the girls to make it. What a pain they are!
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha. Come on farmers, you can do this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate the suspense!!
Bummer
Oh thank God!
ReplyDeleteYES! YES!!! YES!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!The twinies are G-O-N-E!
ReplyDeleteSilk - one time TAR finished in San Francisco so it was fun to see they were also in Oakland and Alameda too!
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Okay, I'm happy with whomever should win now. Ding, Dong, the twins are gone, the twins are gone....
ReplyDeleteYAY! The evil twins are GONE!
ReplyDeleteJoe in NY, thanks for the info on the Beekmans' current show! I'll be sure to check it out this week.
ReplyDeleteYeah!! Karma for those who play the game but can't drive :o)
ReplyDeleteSueGee
I will be happy with any winner too. Kind of hope it is the Chippies. Don't they have a parent with cancer?
ReplyDeleteOne of them does, Becky. It sounds like neither of them come from any kind of money and both want to help out their parents.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. A place that was destroyed by Sandy. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. I THOUGHT I remembered that as being said earlier.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. I'm a full hour behind so I'll sit against the wall with Silk and read your comments. Just starting the show here. :(
ReplyDeletego chippendales!!
ReplyDeleteHappy I read the spoilers toward the end of the thread...
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DANCING :))))
I wouldn't mind seeing the Chippies win, then they can give up stripping for people. Although they do have very nice bodies! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Monty!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Monty. Glad you could get here.
ReplyDeleteAll three teams walked by the clue!
ReplyDeleteOh Gosh, come on!!!!
ReplyDeleteNoooooooooooooo, come on Chippies!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, the Chippies are still clueless.
ReplyDeleteHey Monte!
ReplyDeleteSueGee
I think I have the Beekman's in the pool, so go boys, go!!
ReplyDeleteEw. My ex-boyfriend from the 80s worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Ew. Bad memories.
ReplyDeleteMy current boyfriend was a Chippendale choreographer in the '80s. From what I've heard, the boys may not want to give up their jobs.
ReplyDeleteI love NYC. It is my favorite vacation place. I will be going back in 2014.
ReplyDeleteAbout time guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm probably going to NYC next week, weather permitting, Becky. Of course, I'm just a half-hour away. It does make it easier!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the memory part?
ReplyDeleteI have the Beekman's in the pool..I think you do too Monty. I'm a bit of a traitor though...the Chippendales have been more entertaining, so I'm kind of rooting for them!
ReplyDeleteI have the Beekman's in the pool..I think you do too Monty. I'm a bit of a traitor though...the Chippendales have been more entertaining, so I'm kind of rooting for them!
ReplyDeleteThey are kidding....right? Holy cow.
ReplyDeleteJust caught up with the Evil Gay comment, yick. I'm so glad the twins are history.
ReplyDeleteThey are a good looking couple.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, even though I lived in UpState NY for 19 years, I have only passed through NYC at night, through the Port Authority. I really, really want to visit. When I was young, I used to work at a Dude ranch. I was always excited to talk to the people from the city. 95% told me to never go to the city. LOL. I really want to!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah Trey - what a drop!
Trey & Lexie's cab driver doesn't seem like the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these guys!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Chippies love this.
ReplyDeleteSharon, I'm with you on the Chippendales. I've enjoyed them this entire season. I'd be happy with any of the final three winning at this point.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh...what a list. A lot of running. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThis is nervewracking...where are the spoilers????? O.O
ReplyDeleteI'm biting my nails!
I can't believe the Chippies didn't keep the cab there. I have a feeling they will have trouble.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they split up to deliver the pizzas?
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if they deliver the wrong ones? A penalty?
ReplyDeleteIncorrect what? I missed it.
ReplyDeleteThe Beekman's delivered a few wrong deliveries.
ReplyDeleteCome on Chippies - MOVE!
ReplyDeletePenny - Go into the city! I love living here because I can even head in after work for dinner/whatever if I feel like it. Fortunately, it doesn't cost anywhere near as much to live here as it would there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Penny. I have the Chippies. I wonder what the second and third place team receive?
ReplyDeleteI used to hang out at the Magician, a bar on Rivington Street
ReplyDeleteThe Chippies work so well together. They funny and just good natured.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Farmers, don't start snipping at each other now.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny that only team who knew the UN symbol were the farmers. I do not see Trey and Lexi doing well on these signs.
ReplyDeleteI think the farmers will do the best.
I think one of the farmers just answered my question.
ReplyDeleteLove Trey's shorts.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be Trey's and Lexi's downfall. I do not think they will be successful. Hopefully, they all will have difficulties to be on an equal footing.
ReplyDeleteCome on Lexi...just suck it up.
This is a hard task. They are exhausted, and I bet everything just runs together in their memories.
ReplyDeleteI was not thrilled when I got the Chippies, but as the race progressed I changed my mind.
ReplyDeleteI've got old Beatles stuck in my head ... you say hello, I say goodbye! I would do horribly on this one.
ReplyDeleteIf you take notes along the way, are you allowed to consult the notes when you get to this part?
ReplyDeleteIsn't this the first time they have had this challenge with remembering hello and goodbye?
ReplyDeleteYes, Becky.
ReplyDeleteYeah, in the past all I remember is putting the flags in sequence.
ReplyDeleteSilk, notes probably would not help them here. I just mentioned not ever using hello and goodbye in a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI remember teams pulling out journals to help on some of these final task...sometimes their notes helped and sometimes not
ReplyDeleteSueGee
Well, it's very clear whoever wins this, will win the game.
ReplyDeleteThe Chippies are so funny.
Wow, Wow, Wow.
ReplyDeleteJames and Jaymes might be able to pull it off...
ReplyDeleteAll that they went through, the farmers could come in first.
ReplyDeleteI'd really rather see the Chippies win. But...
Crap
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh they did it! My pool pick actually won.
ReplyDeleteThe underdogs.
ReplyDeleteI still would have preferred the Chippies, but to see the farmers get it after being so far behind all the time is kind of cool too.
ReplyDeleteThe farmers win first place, and the twinnies will choke on all their nasty remarks about gays!
ReplyDeleteOh, well, the Texans did well considering.
ReplyDeleteI hope the twins eat their words. They are just nasty people.
ReplyDeleteGreat season. Thank you for hosting us, Jackie.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that three teams went to the final that were positive, supportive, and kind.
ReplyDeleteI won't be here Wednesday, have to work. But will be here next Sunday for the Survivor finale!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care, everyone!!!!
Penny
yes...Thanks Jackie!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much Jackie!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky - having notes would help me remember what flags go with what country. That's half the battle.
ReplyDeleteWhat, what, what??? Are you serious, Sharon. Do we have bragging rights until next season?
ReplyDeleteDoing the Happy Dance, even though I'm still back at the pizzaria
See you Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWhile they weren't my favorite for the win, it is cool to see a team who seemed so doomed to lose actually win for a change!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a good season, all! And, to all a good night. :-)
ReplyDeleteNight Jackie and everyone. See you on Wednesday for Survivor. I can't believe my pool pick won. Wow!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Monty, I believe we do!
ReplyDeleteI would have been ok with any of the 3 finalists, but very happy for the farmers. Underdogs the whole game but somehow managed to stay in! Maybe because some underestimated them?
ReplyDelete#1 and #2 could have flipped in winning and I would still have been happy though. :)
Jackie... thanks again for hosting another of our favorite shows!
Sharon
(too much trouble to look up the password and sign in) lol
I think the farmers will do the best.
