Amazing Race-Finale

I had been out of town when the finale of Amazing Race was on, so I taped it, thinking that probably some website headline would spoil it for me. Well, that didn't happen, so I did manage to watch it with some hopes that the "horseshoe up the butt team" (in Ken's words) wouldn't win. But of course that was not to be. They were this season's strongest team with a good race for their money made by Ken and Tina. The final challenge of linking clues with various route markers, detours, pit stops was on your seat riveting. What made this whole episode get on my nerves was Tina's incessant complaining. Come on, take that darn helmet off. Didn't she just drive you crazy with her helmet doing that walking the log challenge? And Ken, he was just so patient with her. Of course we knew the Cinderella team of Andrew and Dan wouldn't make for a compelling race to the finish. The sloppy team managed once again to get a taxi that didn't know his way around Portland, Ore. Hey, it's America! It's not like Portland is that big. Good idea for Andrew to call the visitor bureau for that information, needless to say tho, they just couldn't keep up with the two strongest team. They just kept plugging away like Colombo and Inspector Clouseau with their third place finish. In the end, Nick and Starr win the money, but I think Tina was the biggest winner in this race, with Ken asking her again to marry him and giving her a ring. Hey Ken, one word RUN! -Single D
