Amazing Race 12!!

[swingnscream]

TK and Rachel are the only team I really want to see win. Nick and Don would be my second choice, Christine and Ron third (although I would like to see just her get the money as he's been so awful with his daughter sometimes) and I would love to see Nate and Jen gone next episode.

I'm still rooting for TK and Rachel, even though they are so far behind and they have that "speed bump" to deal with. All they need is all the teams bunched up waiting for a flight or waiting for a place to open (for a detour/road block) and they can be right back in the game. It's happened so many times before: a team hours ahead or hours behind and they can fall behind or catch up in no time. I hope it will be the latter for TK and Rachel.

I completely agree with that! Here's to hoping...

I know!! I bounced up and down in my chair and did the happy-clap!

Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" couple. And on her birthday!!

The first final three I wouldn't mind either one to win.

I'm rooting for Ron and Christine as they've come a long way since the start, especially Ron.

Yeah this is the first time in a long time that I'd be happy with any of them winning. I'm still rooting for TK and Rachel, but I love that there are two older men still in the running too.

That's exactly how I feel. I'm so proud of their team and how Ron has really made an effort to improve. I think something Jen said after they were eliminated was very insightful. She said that everybody else focused on the relationship but that she and Nate focused on the race. Now we see what a big difference it made. Too bad she didn't figure that out until they were finished.

on her birthday ... that'll go down in the top 5 most overused excuses of tAR. I'm just glad to see them go!

I so would love for TK and Rachel to win, but really, any of the teams would be great to winners. I'm so surprised with who made it this far, but I'm really stoked that it'll be a good win no matter who gets it.

LOL! I agree!

I wonder if the Floating Garden place really opened at 10 am or if the hours were changed to accomodate the race and the 3 hour time difference TK & Rachel had to make up to still be in it?

 

[ParaCristo]

How cool was that....amazing comeback by TK and Rachael....way to use the automated ticket machine's for the train in Japan...
Very sweet!!!

My Wife and I where thinking the same thing...

yeah, that probably saved them a lot of useful time, both times they used those machines instead of waiting in line.

Here's another vote for TK and Rachel!

 

[HeyHomie]

Nick and Don FTW!!!!!!

I love what Nick said: [paraphrasing] "Our goal was to not get eliminated on the first leg. And now we're in the top 3."

 

[USincognito]

"Oh My Gosh!" I kept waiting for Jen to say Dagnabbit!, but I guess they edited it out.

Final 3, I love all of them.
Ron and Christina - he's come to respect his daughter and had run this race with a hernia.
Don and Nick - An old man and a punk*** kid. And they've been awesome!
TK and Rachael - not a moment of bickering, did the Speed Bump without a problem. I can even overlook TK's look.

I'll be happy with whichever team wins and proud of the 2nd and 3rd place teams.

 

[ItalianAngel]

Oh yeeess! I am so thrilled that Nate and Jen are gone! Granted, they're not the worst Amazing Race couple in history (that vote goes to Jonathan & Victoria, IMHO) but she got on my nerves so bad with her constant whining. And then she had the gall to be angry that TK and Rachel caught up with everyone else. Uh, honey... it's a race!!

I'm still rooting for TK and Rachel to win this, but at this point, I'll be happy if any team wins. Even Ron seems to be more supportive of his daughter and not so much of a pain lately.

We'll see what happens when the big cash is at stake ... he might just slip back into his old-but-not-so-far-gone ways just yet.

 

[GodrockDJ]

Since the goths dropped out I've been supporting TK and Rachel. I like the way they've run the race consistently and with appreciation for everything they've experienced. Should be a great finale!

Yes....things have also been going their way too!! He seems bad when they are stressed out and lagging behind.
