I would truly love to see them win it all, but I get the feeling they won't...mabe I think they are just not cut-throat enough.

The frat boys weren't acting up as badly as usual, but I'd still like to see them go next.

TTOW!!!

Very happy they're in the final 3.

Yay! Justice was served!!! Go hippies! I also have taken a liking to Ray & Yolanda.

I was shocked that the frat boys gave them their flip flops!! Even so, I am rooting for the hippies or Ray and Yolanda to win.

And there is NO way I could of ate that giant bowl of grasshoppers.

I too was glad to see the hippies go from last to first. And the right team was eliminated!

Karen, I agree, YUCK! to eating the bugs. The bowls were huge - poor Tyler kept eating and eating and there were still so many in the bowl. But it really paid off for them. It was funny how the "locals" were watching them do it.

Let's see what happens next week! I too would love to see the hippies win because of their great attitudes, but I'd be OK with Ray and Yolanda.

Question: Scenario: During the "begging" part of the routine when people (e.g., the hippies this week) started the leg without any money, do you think that many of the people (not the other teams but strangers) are only attracted to them because there is a camera crew there? If they weren't being photographed (and know it is a television show), would they still be generous? I'm not being cynical, just curious as to others opinions. P.S. I'm rooting for any team other than the frat boys.

Judith, I would assume that people would be more generous with cameras rolling but that wouldn't make begging for money from strangers any easier for me, lol!!

I'm so glad that "MoJo" was the team that was eliminated. I was also amazed that the "Frat Boys" gave BJ their flip flops. Despite that one very nice gesture, I'm still rooting for either BJ & Tyler or Ray and Yolanda to win.

I thought it was really funny that they advertised this "grasshopper eating" as a "favorite after school activity" and yet the locals were all watching in amazement, and probably amusement, that they were actually eating these things! :D

I would guess that this local delicacy is enjoyed in MUCH MORE MODERATELY SIZED PORTIONS!!! I think I could eat 2 or 3, the locals might enjoy a dozen, but a GIANT bowlfull? I don't think so! :ohmy: :rolleyes:

TAR has been renewed, and will be moving to Sunday nights at 8:00 pm.

From the Futon Critic
"And on Sundays, CBS is making key scheduling moves designed to capitalize on the changing competitive landscape of the night. The Number One and most-honored news magazine 60 MINUTES starts the night at 7:00 PM, followed by the Emmy Award-winning reality series THE AMAZING RACE, which moves to 8:00 PM. And from 9:00-11:00 PM, CBS is using two of its most successful and compelling crime series, COLD CASE and WITHOUT A TRACE, to build a seamless block of drama. COLD CASE will air at 9:00 PM, followed at 10:00 PM by WITHOUT A TRACE, one of television's highest-rated series. "

Andrea, that is great news!! Sunday night at 8 is perfect, that's right before Desperate Housewives :)

I just remembered that I forgot to post the preview for tonights show, let me see if I can find the email.

Editing to add, CBS has the application for Amazing Race 11 online now. Who's up for it!?!?

WEDNESDAY ON THE
TWO-HOUR SEASON FINALE

One Team is ecstatic when they learn the location of the next destination--a place they've been to and where they know the language.


Little mistakes can cost big when the finish line is so close, and one Team wastes a lot of time looking for equipment needed for a challenge. Will this be the difference between first and second place?


The last two legs of the Race are both mentally and physically grueling. Which duo will win the one million dollars?


Catch all the action on Wednesday, May 17 at 8PM ET/PT!

Works just fine for me! However, one of my favorite shows, Everwood, didn't make the cut for the new CW network. Very sad. :mecry:

I agree, Karen, I would love to see an LCT team in Amazing Race 11! I am not volunteering, though, because I am way too wimpy for the physical challenges and way too "chicken" for the extreme stuff. Who's up to the challenge? :eek:

Hey are they REALLY "frat boys"? They are such slackers with no ambition to do anything other than find a way to get thru life w/o working, how awful for any parents that might have foot a college bill! That said, it is the only show I watch with any regularity. Go Hippies!

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING QUIET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Fantastic ending!!!!

WOW..Alaska looked coooold!
How exciting this was!
:woh: :woh: :woh:

Smile.

Now that was exciting!! My lips are zipped til our West Coast friends are finished watching!

I had to avoid visiting here last night - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to contain my excitement!

Let me be the first to say, GO HIPPIES!!! I am not ashamed to say that I got misty at the end! I thought for sure that the frat boys were going to win. It was just so fun to see the hippies get all their flags right!! Even then, I thought the editors were just making it look like they were in the lead!

This season sure did make up for last years lame season!

I was very misty at the end. It's great to see the good guys come in first for once!

Great ending! So glad it came down to more of a mental challenge. I loved the way the hippies always knew a bit of the language and culture of the places they were visiting.

I'm happy! :D

Betty

SO exciting! Yes, I agree about the hippies. The way they tried to learn and use their knowledge of the culture and language everywhere they went...and how excited they were to be in each place really made them stand out. I hated the way the frat boys seemed to make fun of the language and customs from time to time.

The million went to the most deserving team!!

I was so happy too, for the Hippies.....Way to go guys!!!!! :banana:

:woh: What an ending! Glad the hippies won!

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greg & I were VERY pleased with the way this one ended up! :app: :app: :app:

Yeah, the good guys won--loved the show last night :3smile:

I couldn't believe the frat boy was trying to tattle when THEY had cancelled everybody's cabs. Of course, they got bitten by Karma when they pulled their stunt, maybe he wasn hoping for that for the hippies. Sorry, whiner.

The Frat boys made fun of everyone and complained about eveerything. The Hippies on the otherhand were so happy and cheerfull all the way through. My throat hurt so bad from screaming at the tv when it looked like the frat boys were ahead. The Hippies definitly deserved to win!(IMHO)

I finally just finished watching the tape I made of the show last night. I had to avoid reading this thread this morning. Yeah - way to go Hippies!!! :banana: :banana:

Did anyone else watch The Early Show? Ray proposed to Yolanda and she said yes!
