Yikes, it's the season finale! My blog random pick team was the first one out, so I've been a free agent. I'd love to see Sheri and Cole win this. I'm amazed that they're still in it! But, I doubt that will happen. I guess we'll just watch and see.
Ready to race?
Recap, recap, season recap.
Teams will be racing to Los Angeles in the final leg and are getting an upgrade to premium class -- a first for the show. Whoa! That's some digs on that plane!
Roadblock: Who's ready to take a leap of faith? Jumping off a skyscraper to grab a clue. If they miss, then they have to rappel back down and try again.
Dana and Matt are in the lead and are headed for a helicopter ride to Santa Barbara. Sheri and Cole beat out Korey and Tyler TO the jump site. But Sheri is starting to freak out. Can she do it?
No, she flubs and has to re-do it. Tyler is up next. He flubs it.
The helicopter was waiting with Dana and Matt, but left after both teams failed.
They move the clue closer for the second try. Sheri got it. Tyler misses it! He gets it on his third try. Both other teams are in their helicopters. Will they catch up?
Matt and Dana borrowed the taxi driver's cell phone, so they kind of know what they're looking for -- a marked dinghy and eventually a boat named the Theresa Ann. They got it. They're on their way to Gibralter Rock.
BUT ... they made the mistake of letting their taxi go and are now waiting. Meanwhile, Sheri and Cole went right by the Theresa Ann. Eek! The boys aren't at the water yet.
Heh. Sheri and Cole fooled the boys into thinking they didn't have a clue. But Sheri and Cole didn't keep their taxi. The boys are now ahead of them. They get a cab. The boys' driver doesn't know where Gibralter Rock is.
Matt and Dana arrive. Are you ready for some synchronized mountaineering? Working together to get the next clue. Each gets a half of the clue and meet together at the end.
The next clue is at a vineyard.
Sheri and Cole are starting the high over the ground mountaineering. Uh-oh. Tyler and Korey have the fate of the Bad Cabbie. Sheri and Cole did it! The boys are there working hard and fast at it!
Heehee. Dana and Matt went way beyond the clues stuck in a bale of hay at the vineyards. Maybe the other teams will catch up!
They found it Roadblock. They have to hashtag all the clues on barrels of wines spelling out cities on the race in order. Dana is going through it quickly. She got the clue. They have to go to the finish line at a lake.
Cole is the one doing the barrels for them. Now Korey is starting. Dana and Matt can't find the lake.
DANA AND MATT win The Amazing Race! (Not my personal choice of the three teams remaining, but kudos to them!)
2. Sheri and Cole!
3, Tyler and Korey

Hi Jackie and all who arrive. I brought white peach sangria to sip on tonight for the finale.
Sounds good to me!
I'm rooting for Shreri and Cole... I think Tyler and Korey will win, but I'm partial to the mother/son team.
sounds deeelish! can I bring my hot crab and spinach dip to the table in a sourdough bread bowl?
Is it just me or has that Cole got teenybopper idol kind of looks?
I'd love to see Sheri and Cole win. If not them, the boys would be my second choice. All three teams worked hard for it.
Yes, Terry. Yummy!!
He does Jackie.
That's a nice treat at the end of the race.
I would so do that
Oh boys... you're messing up right off the get go on this leg
Sheri, do it for a million dollars @@
I hope she gets her act together!
Terry - Yes, of course. That goes well with the wine!
She grabbed the line as soon as she jumped.
Yay, Sheri!!!
Where is everyone?
I had to reset my password again! Since the show begain months ago I have had to set it six times! Hey Jackie, and Monty. Jackie I did a very very bad things.
Becky - ?
Oh, Sheri
Hi Becky
I have made my husband's cat a weed head. I bought him his first package of catnip. Now I am an enabler. Bad, bad, bad, Momma. But he loves it.
Hey, Sherry.
Also wondering where everyone is tonight
Heh. Vincent is SUCH an addict!
LOL @ Becky. All cats love the nip :))
Thank God they found it
Sheri will have a hard time with this one
Come on Sheri and Cole
I'm so proud of Sheri and Cole!
Same here, Jackie. They handled that last one so well. Fingers crossed for them.
I have heard of people's cats going wise on "the weed", but never seen it in action. He gets a little hipper, but then mellows out! I had to take him to the vet today. Gave him a "hit" and he cared less about the exam.
Congrats to the dancers, and Grandi & Nicklepeed on the pool win.
I've been lurking again. My third choice came in first. Tsk.
Great season. Thanks Jackie and will see everyone for the Survivor finale on Wednesday. Have a great weekend.
They were my third choice, too. I don't like people who snap at each other so much. Both of the other teams treated each other so much better!
Thanks for coming by! Becky, tsk, tsk ... enabler!
I am proud of them too. She didn't let her age shut her down and he didn't let his fear of age stopped.
The least favorite of mine won, I am so glad they came up to second. The boys have won a lot of trips.
Jackie, thank your hosting. Hummm, don't look under the couch cushion. I think that might be where Calvin and Vincent his some stash!
See you Wednesday.
WOW, my team won?? WOOOOHOOOOO! I'm shocked!
Jackue, thank you for hosting us!
Congrats on the pool win Penny and Grandi. I have been fighting with my computer all evening. Let it do a update on flash and keyboard has not worked since. finally did a system restore but couldn't type to join you during the show.
Thanks Jackie for another great TAR season.
