(S11E13) Ahhh... I really was rooting for the Beauty Queens! I think they were really, really bummed about coming in very close second. I wanted to cry with them. I'm not sure what my problem is with Eric & Danielle. I just felt like they didn't have a whole lot of personality, unlike the other teams in the top three. I feel like they pout a lot.

[Charla & Mirna #3] It was great to see Charla excel at a challenge, wasn't it? She's usually at a pretty serious disadvantage bcause of her height, but the girl has an incredible sense of balance and was able to stand up on a surf board and paddle to the clue during the Detour. Unfortunately, the kayaking challenge was so hard that it put them behind all the other teams.

[Eric & Danielle WINNERS!] These two totally rocked the kayaking challenge to get their clue at Shipwreck Beach on Lanai. I was surprised to see them work so well as a team. And they were actually on the same page during the challenge at the U.S. Mint! These two were finally on their game during the few hours that they needed to be.

[Dustin & Kandice #2] These two finally had their first tiff and it really wasn't that big of a deal. Dustin was in a panic to win the $1 million and she wasn't thinking clearly when she jumped out of the kayak and tried to walk through the water rather than paddle. Of course that's not going to be faster!

rating 5 I really wasn't all that impressed with this All-Stars season. I think part of it was that the teams had already raced before so they knew all the little tricks and how to play. Plus, the challenges were super lame! A lot of them were super simple (like jumping off the tower in Macau). I'm giving this episode, and this entire season a 5. Hopefully fall will bring fresh faces and a little more creativity in the locations and the challenges.

I jumped for joy when Rob and Amber were eliminated what crud those two are. I would have loved
for Myrna and Charna to have won, they persevered despite having so much in strength and height against them with all the others. The beauty queens, yuuuuk.

I was THRILLED when Rob & Amber were eliminated. Them coming in 1st 2 or 3 times was getting on my last nerve. Out of the final 3, I wanted Charla and Mirna to win, but oh well, at least it wasn't the beauty queens.

As I understand it the instruction on the clue told the teams that they had to travel to San Francisco by way of the airport in Oakland.

I hope that in the next season of TAR they get rid of the Intersection - it's like designating that one mile in the middle of a marathon be run as a three legged race - and return to allowing only one Fast Forward per Team. Also a two hour finale even if you have to have two Roadblocks and two Detours in the final leg.

Well I was kinda out it since U&J got the boot and even though I don't like Danielle I'm glad they beat the B&Q's. I just don't like them... hell I wasn't happy with the final three at all. I thought C&M was going to win until I saw all those jagged rocks then I knew their lead was gone. Oh well congrats to E&D on winning the mill.

I for one liked the safe challenge but I thought that finale was super light compared to the previous ones.

For next season I hope we get fresh players, I hope they stay away from family AR, and I want the challenges to be harder. Also bring back stripping the teams of all their cash & belongings when it comes to non-eliminations round.

Why is it that the best teams never win AR?

The BQ's should have won ... the safe combo was lame..it should have been a road block which Danielle, Mirna and Kandace would have had to do that their partners completed the allowed amount. Kandace would have passed the other two for sure. Oh well looking foward to next season, and hoping the producers find some interesting characters!!

Here's something else that I was wondering about - why did they all fly into Oakland instead of SFO? They're both the same distance from SF, although Oakland is a smaller airport and easier to navigate. I was surprised that none of them inquired about an earlier flight into SFO.

Don't read an article about a show you haven't seen yet!!
It's such a no-brainer.
