I couldn't have asked for a better final three. I was a huge fan of all three teams...the Globetrotters were a little immature at times, specifically Big Easy. Flight Time always seemed to be pretty chill. I wish there was a way Gary and Mallory could have won a second million dollar prize. Mallory has the warmest personality of any player on really any reality show I've ever watched. Jen and Kisha were my girls too...I didn't care who won last night because I would've been happy regardless. Congrats to them all!

I think Zev and Justin could have their own travel show...

I didn't prefer any of the teams left to win, I liked them all. All the bad teams were ousted by the last two legs....

I think this is the second consecutive season in which a bad U.S. cab driver essentially eliminated one team immediately (Jill and Thomas in fall 2010 season -- cab driver with language issues).

I got a kick out of the trailer park signs and shirts, specifically the "cold beer, hot chicks" sign, and the shirt declaring "so many cats, so few recipes."

I wanted Mallory to win. Only because she is so happy all the time, or seems that way. At least Kisha and Jen won, instead of the Globetrotters. 2 ladies that did need the money. Now they can start their business and I hope it becomes profitable for them.
I do hope they never make us watch people on the Amazing Race that have done it before. If they do, I will totally skip it and concentrate more on reading. I have so many nice "new*" books, at least a few thousand.

As stated before, I hope on next AR's they lay down the rules plainly and there is no helping each other out, which can cause a group to gang up on one team. No public peeing, either.

I was so happy for Jen and Keisha. It was good to hear them wanting to repay their mother for all the sacrifices she did for them. I think it was the mom who had a dream of starting her own business. Good luck to her and them.

The father and daughter were also a good team but when she said, at the beginning, that they were meant to win - she had a feeling - I got a feeling they would not. It sounded more like wishful thinking to me. She is a sweet girl, though, and very bubbly.

I'm glad the GlobeTrotters didn't win. That useless cabbie cost Gary and Mallory 1 million bucks! If I ever need to take a taxi again in my life, I'll ake darned sure they speak English and know where they are going! Hmmm.....that might be one tall order to fill here in the US. Seems like AR contestants have an easier time overseas with finding people who speak English than back on home soil! I digress though. I'm sad Gary and Mallory didn't win but am glad Keisha and Jen won. It is their mother who wants to start her own business. They seem like good daughters. Loved the way they overcame phobias to "get 'er done!".

I sooooo disagree about Mallory ( I know I am a minority on this thread)She drove me NUTS!!!
I found her over the top in her OBVIOUS play towards the camera, And beyond obnoxous in her ''I am so cute and adorable'' chipper, never ending exasperating audition (for more tv shows to come her way?).
She couldnt mug anymore if she was on a soap opera.
I actually paid that taxi driver to get lost and screw up.

Glad the ladies won.

I read an interview with Mallory in which she says she and Gary immediately found a taxi with a driver who knew English and also had a GPS in the taxi so they got in. But a lady came pounding on the window saying she had been waiting 10 minutes for a taxi........so-Mallory and Gary got out Then ended up with useless driver.

I would not have gotten out; not while in a race--any other time,maybe but not then,

Perhaps you are correct, but I've met people like her. The one's I've known had little hardship in their lives and it was no wonder that they could always be happy. God bless them, I say. We should all be so fortunate.
