Well, here we are -- it's the season finale. Remember, this will be a two-hour show, so settle in. Not surprisingly, three of the four remaining teams in the race are previous TAR teams. I am a bit surprised that the one non-TAR team is from Big Brother rather than Survivor. Victor and Nicole deserve kudos! (Plus they're my blog pool pick!)
Speaking of the blog pool -- here's the latest updated list from Lifeguard SueGee:
From Big Brother
Nicole & Victor -- Jackie, Jennifer, Jenna G
From Survivor
No One Has Survived!
From TAR
Colin & Christie -- Donna NY, Petals
Leo & Jamal -- Merrilee, Judi Sweeney, Glenn Allen
Tyler & Korey -- Sharon N, Ed in Ohio
Philiminated
Art & JJ
Rupert & Laura
Corinne & Eliza
Janelle & Britney
Rachel & Elissa
Chris & Bret
Becca & Floyd
I'll be live blogging and constantly updating this entry with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, you know the party is in the comments area! Have fun!
Race watchers ready? Let's GO!
Teams are off to London for the next leg. The TAR alumni want to be the final three although the Afghanimals aren't all that popular with the other two teams The two teams will work together when possible. The Afhanimals have been eliminated in the 11th leg both times before and the last time in England.
All teams on the same flight. But it's a scramble for taxis to get to the Aviation Museum. They find out they have to book the taxis, not hail one.
Helicopter ride over the White Cliffs of Dover to the Dover Castle. Leo;Jamal running in first place. Stunning views!
Roadblock -- Who can't keep a secret … cracking a code and typing it up.
Leo/Jamal through it. Korey and Christie working together. Victor suspects it.
After the Roadblock teams fly back to London and search for clues along the River Thames.
Gah. Victor solved the puzzle and helped the other teams. Then Korey finished leaving Christie last.
Leo/Jamal head to Piccadilly Circus. Victor and Nicole on their tails, then Tyler/Korey. The next clue is a Detour. Memorize a cab route one detail at a time or learn how to row two person skiff and complete a course in one minute. All three teams are there and now Christie finally finished the Roadblock.
Leo/Jamal start with the rowing, but switch when it seems precarious. That memorization seems impossible to me! Nic/Vic are trying to row. Christie and Colin finally there, go for the row. Tyler/Korey are also there. All having trouble. Whoops! Tyler/Korey capsize and are questioning their choice of detour. Sure enough, they switch.
Nic/Vic switch, too. Jamal/Leo get through the cab memorization after many tries and are the first on the way to the Pit Stop. Tyler/Korey through the cab.
Pit Stop --
Phil hands the Afghanimals a clue and they have to pick up some items at a market before they can be checked in. They have to find eight items. Then it's Ty;er/Korey shopping, too.
Christie/Colin got through the rowing! Vic/Nic finish the taxi. Colin/Christie get to Phil and go shopping, then Nic/Vic.
Pit Stop Order
1. Leo and Jamal
2. Tyler and Korey (who told Colin/Christie where some things are)
3. Colin and Christie
4. Nicole and Victor … Philiminated - They handle it well.
The final three are off to Detroit, Michigan. Tyler/Korey are from Michigan and are quite familiar with Detroit.
All on the same flight. They're heading to the Spirit of Detroit. Leo/Jamal get to the clue first -- Roadblock. Who's good with numbers? 500 foot face forward rappel looking for the numbers that are the combination for a vault. It turns out doing the combination itself is tricky with the numbers having to be dialed in certain directions and number of times.
Colin and Christie through first. They have to play a bizarre game that combines football and bowling. Colin/Christie can't find their cab (that they left waiting). Tyler/Korey pass them by and get in their cab.
Both ColinChrisie and Tyler/Korey are at the Fowling.
Teams must press five split color vinyl records according to the next clue. Tyler/Korey out first heading that way. Leo/Jamal still at the vault. He finally got it and they're heading for the records.
Chratie/Colin finish the records first and have to find the next clue among a bunch of musicians. Tyler/Korey on their tails.
That clue directs them to assemble a drum kit. While they're assembling them, extremely loud music is distracting them and interfering with their ability to communicate.
Colin/Christie finish their drum first. Soon after, Tyler/Korey finish. Both teams heading towards the finish line. Afghanimals have no chance.
COLIN AND CHRISTIE WIN THE AMAZING RACE 31!
Second place goes to Tyler and Korey. Leo and Jamal are fowling. They finally arrive at the finish line.

Woooohoooooo, let's go!! Hi Jackie and Vincent! Hi everyone!!! Thank you, Jackie.
Checking in for now. Not sure if I'll make it back or not. Good luck to the remaining pool players and Go Nic and VIc!!
Hello again all!!
Hi Jackie again and Penny. I am pulling for Nicole and Victor.
Howdy everyone!! Sure glad this pool is easier!!
hi again Monty and Cheryl.
Lets go nic and vic!!!
I have been pulling for Nicole & Victor all season
Hi again SueGee
Hi all.
Diving right back in the pool and double-timing... watching BB and reading the Blog for TAR.
Wow many of you are still in the pool!! Good Luck!!
I’m on time for this one! Go Victor and Nicole!!!
Hi Monty, Cheryl, Glenn, SueGee, and Sharon.
And, Judi!
Come on Vic and Nic!! I really want to see them win this!
Got some work to do and watching BB, so just wanted to stop in and say Gooooo Nicole and Victor before shutting all this down for the work programs. =)
I hope Nicole doesn't get too rattled.
The TAR people do not want any one else to win, but TAR. I feel sorry for Nicole and Victor.
Hi David
Hi again. TY JAX
This irks me - everyone working against Vic/Nic
GO VIC! YAY!
YAY! Come on Victor and Nicole. He didn't need anyone to help him.
Hi Petals!!
even tho that chick is my pool team, I am not "for" them
hey Penny :)
So happy that Victor figured it out on his own
Great, my Beagle is howling at rabbits. She's at the door. LOL
I actually like Christy better than Leo and Jamal. Leo and Jamal are too aggressive. Look at last week, they Uturned Vic and Nic saying they wanted to get them back, yet they were not Uturned. They are irritating.
Hey guys. Had to get dinner cleaned up. Been watching though. Go Vic and Nic!
Hi Jenna.
Both seem really hard to me. Memorize over 300 words, or row under a minute.
Checking in! Soccer is 0-0 and hot!
Come on Nicole and Victor!!!!!
Hi Penny and everyone! Cherl, gonna be in your neck of the woods next week! Home is Wilmington NC for me. Going to spend the 4th in Mertle Beach SC. Glenn , I think you live in NC also, right?
They do not seem impressed. LOL
Gosh this seems so hard! I'd be terrible at this game! TAR is hard!
I do not know if Nicole and Victor really want to do that!
Come on Nicole and Victor!!
Darn, I would hate to see Nic and Vic fall behind.
oh man...I didn't realize this was the finale! Yeeps. GO TEAM BB
why are the other teams against NicVic? They are sweet people!
Finally Made it to a Pool Party, albeit late!
Don't know what I missed...I'll play catch up later.
yeeperdoozle...Vic's hair looks HOOOOOTTTTTTTTT
Petals, it's because they are BB and not TAR. One of the teams said in a previous episode, they did not want anyone else to win, except people from TAR.
I like Vic's hair, too.
Shop 'til you drop!
Penny - NO! That is so unfair! :(
Hour 2/3 How are you holding up Jackie??
YAY! V/N!! c'mon!
Now moooooooove Nicole and Victor!!
I will say this: I have this C/C couple as my TAR pool pic. But front DAY ONE, I didn't get a "couple" vibe from them and still don't. It's like they are Stepford, sorta. Is it just me? Does anyone see any softness or coupleness from them?
that is the coolest little market
Petals, he was a big A$$ the first time they were on the show. He seems to have mellowed some but not to the point I would want to be friends with them.
I feel sorry for Nic and Vic because the others are helping each other.
I hate that they are all helping each other AGAINST V/N
Jinx Penny! hehe
Oh no!
LOVE YOU V/N. It's OK!
I feel so sorry for Nic and Vic. Dang it!!! All because the others helped each other.
An all TAR team finale :((
Ohhhh dang it! Shoot!
Okay, who do we want to win?
Well my pool picks are out 😥
I don't know....all my faves are gone now.
Yes, totally!
No affection
Other than my pool pick I was rooting for Vic & Nic. I don' care for the Afghanamils or whatever their name is.
Sue - there is something wrong with them. They make the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up. He was allowed to leave the country, so I don't think it was a battery charge...but something is seriously wrong with them. They are not happy. They are ... clinical. Subdued. Weird. No love. None. All the "vibe" thing? No... Like a business contract? You know? As soon as they win, the "marriage/partnership" will end. Then they can be with their real-life partners.
Any one but Jamal and Leo. Sorry if anyone likes them, but dang it.... I like Kory and Tyler and Colin and Christy more than the beards.
of course, all of that is MY OPINION. Just sayin. Ick
I think I could see Victor on Survivor - but not Nic But then again these cross-over shows are wearing thin. I was so glad when Rachael got philiminated!!
Petals maybe that couple always just has their 'game face' on. IDK
Oh penny, you are so cute. I said "beards" too, but I meant something completely different than you, LOL!
So there there are only men left. I guess I like the team of men that has a little guy with glasses. So I hope they win.
If you look into Colin/Christie they are indeed a couple. And, will most likely remain one.
Love Island...whatever...who the heck watches ONE show 5 nights in a row??? Oh wait...I do...BBAD lol!
I am pulling for anyone but the Afganibles.
I think Colin and Christy are all business. Colin probably had to go to a therapist. They seem less stressed this time around. They are working better than before. I don't dislike them, but you are right, Petals, they don't seem loving at all.
Same with me, Glenn.
I checked them out, Ms Jackie. Still SMH.
THAT is scary!!
Whoa! Don't think I'd wanna' do that!!
I'm glad they are sending more than just one person down at a time.
Nope, Nope, Nope! Yeah this show, I couldn't do...it's hard, It's scary, it's frustrating...but I like watching them play it.
When they win, they can thank their doctors, lawyers and pharmacists in their acceptance speech. (again, JMO. I don't "know" them). Not meant to offend any bloggers.
g'nite. Thanks Ms J.
xoxo
WOW, the first time!
Night Petals.
Now that I can do!! Football bowling! LOL
Good night everyone! Thank you for all your hard work tonight Jackie... have a wonderful rest of the week everyone!
Night Jenna.
Gee I'm ready for bed and it isn't 7:30 yet LOL
I wouldn't be leaving...I want to see who wins!!!
He's spinning it too much.
I love vinyl records. They're making a comeback. More and more people are getting turn tables.
Yea Penny & spinning so fast!
He can't give up.
Well, I hope Colin/Christie are indeed a couple. I know they have at least one child and have been together at least fifteen years. Some couples are more business-y.
Yeah Ed, Leo is trying to go too fast. He needs to start at 0 and go around slower. I think the first is counter clock wise. He's spinning wrong.
I played drums in a band. That task would be right up my 'alley'!
Congratulations Donna and Petals!
Jackie, thank you so much for this blog. It's greatly appreciated.
Booo the rumors on the 'net were right
Its been a long night - and the shows are just starting here...
See you all on the BB nights!!
C & C for the win! My 'guys' came in 2nd.
Thanks Jackie & SueGee!
Hope to make the BB pools now that baseball is winding down!
SueGee - The spoilers on the net about the winning team are always right. I've known since before the start of the season. People report seeing the teams in various places. They can't hide like Survivor or BB.
Thank you all for coming along for the race!
Ed and I get to share the 2nd place Red Ribbon.
I was rooting for Victor and Nicole, but Christie and Colin were my second favorite.
I really hated the fact that all 3 of the AR teams worked together to get Vic and Nicole out. Just doesn't seem fair that one can win when they are helped by others. You should do this all on your own.
That bothered me too Susan... I was really hoping Victor & Nicole would do good! It bothered me that others teamed up to get them out. Tyler and Korey handed Christy and Colin the game by teaming up and helping Christy and Colin.
Thanks Jackie and SueGee!!!
I fell asleep on the couch watching the second hour. I'm okay that Colin and Christy won... either them or Tyler/Korey would have been fine with me. The Afganimals just rubbed me the wrong way with their vendetta over Victor and Nicole voting for them in the stupid public U-Turn leg. They should have dropped it after the next leg, but they didn't. Dumb and karma bit them. The thing with spinning the combination was he wasn't landing on the numbers that he found on the windows. His mistake.
I really enjoyed this season of TAR!
