(S10E13) Three teams, one last race. The teams are sent breathlessly hurtling around the globe, starting with Paris. For some reason this is the most boring finale I have seen in a long time. Truly. There are no big challenges, no real jaw-dropping moments and at the end, no real emotional payout. One of the reasons I watch the Race is for the cry-inducing finale. I'm going to have to watch the second half of that ABC home improvement show in order to get my supply of Sunday weeping.

(S10E12) The last couple legs of the race are always exciting because the stakes are high and elimination is a certainty. Therefore it's quite frustrating when after frantically racing for nearly half the episode the teams get bunched up at an airport. In order to appreciate this leg of this race you only needed to watch the part of the episode that took place in Barcelona (and especially the tomato fight that makes up part of the Detour).

(S10E11) The official title for this episode should really be "karma is a b," a quote from Alabama ladies, who without their goodie-goodie SixPack compatriots are turning into surprisingly fierce players. Still, of all four teams they are the ones who are probably most likely to get eliminated which makes me wonder why they are seen as such a threat by those marauding blondes known as the Beauty Queens. It doesn't exactly seem like a fair fight but it's the only thing in the race right now that's keeping things interesting.
