Awesome. Karma is a b*tch, twinnies. You got kicked in the ...

I'm Team Beekman all the way.

:)

I'm actually fine with any outcome at this point. Would be least thrilled with Trey & Lexi winning, but they wouldn't even make the top 5 of my least favorite winners list.

As much as I'm Team Beekman, I love that this final leg has 3 teams that I wouldn't mind winning.

It's usually a team I hate.

I can't even watch that straightjacket detour. I would faint.

I'm jumping up and down. SO awesome!

Has a team ever won without winning a single leg throughout the race? I can't remember it happening, but I haven't watched every season.

This was a good race. Yay underdogs!

Calvin, I don't ever remember it happening.

Good race. Really good race.

Nice guys DO finish first!

I don't ever remember being happier for a team to win the race. Excellent finale with one of the best final challenges I've ever seen.

I'm so glad that the twins were out in the penultimate leg. I was rooting for the Chippendales, although their tendency to join up with the twins against whatever team the twins were demonizing was getting old. I didn't want Trey and Lexi to win, either.

I'm astounded that the Beekmans won, but good for them.

His ankle *DID* seem to heal miraculously fast, though.

If I had to hear those bitches refer to them as "gays" one more time...

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Yeah, I noticed them saying "the gays" last episodes and I found it really grating.

As for the ankle, for him to have been faking it (at least to the degree the twins were screeching) he'd have to been faking it on the tennis court, as well as all the times it was just the Beekmans alone. Hats off to him if that's the case.

And since in virtually every interview the twins talked about the way they got away with cheating in school, or blowing off the classes to learn stick and on and on - not to mention stealing the metal guys' money right in front of them - it would be delightful to think that Josh was faking and pulled something over on them, since they seem to delight in taking the shady route in every endeavor they undertake.

Best ending ever. It was so great to see the underdogs wins! And they were such a sweet couple!

Not to mention I was so thrilled to see the twins get knocked out of the race before the finale. They were so nasty and grating. Plus, considering the number of times they said "the gays" they were probably homophobic too.

It was also fitting that the three teams who banded together to knock out the toughest competitors all ended up losing to the team they considered no challenge.

Hmmm...I'm not sure they were being homophobic or not. They were DEFINITELY being mean girls though. I suspected the Beekman's were going to win when the bullying on the train was going on. I was pretty disgusted by everyone at that point. I liked the Beekman's attitude regarding that though and they did rise above it. What I didnt like was their bickering, though. I really hated the short one haranguing the other over the pizza delivery. Let it go and be supportive!

I didnt have a problem with Trey and Lexi, but maybe I missed something. She seemed to really appreciate the race and the adventure.

I LOVED the flag challenge and that they mixed it up a bit this time. That was tough!

I do enjoy the show, but I have not been able to watch it this season because I have had more homework than ever and I only have time to watch 'Once Upon a Time' on Sunday nights. But now that classes will be over this week, maybe I will buy the season on I-tunes.

I liked this season's race less than any other. I thought the editing of the finale telegraphed the outcome, and other than the Chippendales and tht twins, there wasn't much personality in this group. A very bland season.

And I do think that the ankle injury was exaggerated, although I wouldn't be surprised if that was done by the producers more than the Beekmans.

[Jordan Catalano]

I'm always willing to forgive bickering/bitching at each other in this show ESPECIALLY towards the end of the race. I can't even begin to imagine how stressful the entire situation is, especially being joined at the hip to someone for that long. I think it's only natural and if that's the WORST that they were to each other for the entire season, than they're an incredibly strong couple.

[doodlenyc]

Actually, I thought they bickered alot throughout, more than any other pair.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 12/10/12 at 11:24am

Maybe I was too busy looking at Trey.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 12/10/12 at 11:37am

As someone who loves to bicker, I found it endearing. Go Team Beekman!

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 12/10/12 at 12:30pm

Well, I'll take their bickering 24/7 over having to hear "TWINEE!!!!!" one more time.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 12/10/12 at 1:54pm

I didn't like Trey and Lexi mainly because of their involvement with the twins' theft of the money, though Lexi's whining became pretty obnoxious on the last few legs.

Again, about the ankle - I don't know what was going on on that tennis court, but he sure as hell looked in pain to me.

The twins just sucked. And the second something went wrong they would spit "idiot" or "you fool!" Sure, that could just be the way they talk to each other, but it was just one more thing that made them look like nasty bitches.

I didn't find calling "the gays" necessarily homophobic, although the way it sounded coming out of their mouths didn't sound particularly kind.

I'm just still baffled by all the "team spirit" nonsense so close to the end.

The twins were on my last nerve for the last few weeks. I was really happy for the goat farmer guys!
