This is who I would like to see in the Final Three and in the order I'd like for them to place: Globetrotters, Brian and Erika, Meghan and Cheyne. I actually don't think that's likely, so this is my prediction: Globetrotters or Meghan and Cheyne and brothers in third. I'm pulling for the Globetrotters to win!

I wasn't clear enough. I should have stated plainly that I was going to START DVR-ing the Amazing Race every Sunday. Which will only be a couple of times, since we're nearing the end.

I'm not really "worked up" over this. More like "annoyed" and "joking around". That's a big problem with message boards. Humor is lost unless you paste a bunch of smiley faces and little thumbs up winkies.

Sounds like a good plan. I always use the DVR for TAR since my dh feels it's necessary to provide me with a commentary during the show. Now I watch it when he goes to bed. As a matter of fact, I DVR all my shows and watch them when he goes to bed. It saves me a lot frustration and keeps him "safe". Just remember to set up the hour after the show so you don't miss any thing.

I know this is petty but I can't stand Cheyne's hair. The spiky part looks stupid and he bugs me. I'm rooting for the globetrotters!

It's hard not to root for the Globetrotters, that's for sure.

I don't understand why the Globetrotters would make that decision. Wouldn't it be better to just spend the time working on the word puzzle? I don't get it. He just gave up. I hope there is some way they can still not be last, but geez 4 hours is a long time.

I get calculating the risk and deciding that you will come out ahead by taking a penalty. I've certainly seen a few tasks where the team would have been better off taking the penalty--the poker team with the dumbbell, Miss America counting the bells--but you only come out ahead if you make the decision before everyone else finishes the task, and the GTs knew they were already in last place with no time to make it up.

But I'm not sure the outcome would have been any different if they'd continued trying to guess the words.
