So, tonight was the finale of the Amazing Race and the first all female team to ever win the race happened today. Nat and Kat made Amazing Race history.
I think that the entire race was a good race and I am mostly glad that Brooke and Claire didn't win because there was just something about them that I didn't like.
What I'd really like to hear is what you all think about this season's Amazing Race. Did you think it was a good season of racing. Are you glad to see that there was a team with just females in it that won the race.
Also, who from the past would you like to see back in the race for the next season? Personally, I'd like to see the Cowboys. They were just so cute.

I almost forgot about the finale of the Amazing Race. Thank God there's a replay in my country later at 10pm! :) I'm glad that Nat and Kat won. I agree that there's something about Brooke and Claire that I don't like. Perhaps it's because Brooke is too loud and it's irritating! ha!ha! I don't know what's in boyfriend-girlfriend teams...but the guy always end up shouting and quarelling with his girlfriend during the race...it's a real turn off...Just like Chad and Stephanie....I got really turned off with Chad...

You are definitely right about the boyfriend/girlfriend teams. I think that the reason that this side of the males always seems to come out is because of the fact that their relationships aren't as well established.

I didn't catch much of this race , but it's good to know that the doctors won this race , and to top it off .. it's an all girls win ... awesome. They've really done so well , and I like how they communicated while on the race , so calm and relax.

They did communicate very well during the race. I would assume that the main reason for their great communication with one another was because of the fact that they are doctors and are used to many much more stressful situations in their work.

Amazing Race for me is the reality TV series/competition ever. You get to travel for free...see different people/culture/places....and when you win, you'll still get more money! The concept is pretty simple. At the start of the race, you'll read the instructions on where to go/travel, you'll be given money for the trip and when you get there, you'll have roadblocks where you are asked to do a particular task. The team who'll do the task quicker and arrives at the pitstop the soonest, will be in first place. The team who will arrive first in the pitstop will receive a reward (usually a free trip to another country at the end of the race) and they will be the first one to depart on the next leg. The game goes like this until the final pitstop.

The contestants in the show get to race all over the world and complete tasks that are from the regions that they visit. The travel is paid for during the race and the contestants are also provided for the race. One team is typically eliminated in each leg. It is exciting to me because of the fact that I am able to see places that I will never have the opportunity to visit in my life.
Sorry for the very late response, this got buried.

I watched this finale too!
And I'm glad that an all girl team won. It was about time. And that two level headed people (I think) finished first.
Although I watch this show all the time, I couldn't really think of any particular team that stands out worth remembering. Except of course for Rob and Amber.
Maybe they should get another couple from another successful reality TV show. Maybe a team from the Biggest Loser?!

It would be cool to see a team that came from The Biggest Loser. However, I don't think that can happen because of the fact that the two reality programs are on competing channels. It would be a wonderful idea though.

I'm glad that you had the opportunity to learn a little bit about something that we have in our culture that you weren't aware of.

No I cant believe a bunch of girls won the game but no ones perfect I think last season was just for the sake of amazing race history

Now I tend to disagree with you on this one. Nat and Kat were the team from the entire cast of the season that were the most level headed and I honestly believe that is the reason that they've won.

hi dorannmwin oh how I wish the admins here wo uld clapm down on the old fogeys here who grab the remote control and nobody else gets a change to listen to the channels and programs they prefer, its always old reruns of westerns for pete's sake. I would have loved to have watched something like The Amazing race as it sounds like something I would love
to l isten too.

It is a great show. Perhaps one of my favorite things about this program is the fact that it gives me the opportunity to see places in the world that I will never have the opportunity to visit otherwise.

Hooray, I was hoping they'd win!
I'd like to see the cowboys too. I hope Rob and Amber don't pop up. Maybe that couple from last season who didn't even get to race (elimination before first leg) and anybody else who got a really bad break that wasn't (mostly) their fault?

I definitely wouldn't want to see Rob and Amber again. Heck Rob has gotten so much television time in reality TV that it isn't even funny.

I also love that Nat & Kat won, it took a while, but finally a girl-girl team won! It's not a fluke either, they really are good racers and deserved the win 100%. I wouldn't mind Brooke & Claire winning, I like them as well. Brooke can get loud, but I don't mind, I like her, she's funny and full of energy! :)
Overall the season was pretty decent. The challenges were at least culture-based (or at least most of it?). Also, they went to new countries like Ghana and Bangladesh. It's interesting to see countries that people don't usually visit.
Can't wait for the next season! It's in HD! I'd love to see Ron and Christina from Season 12, they should have won their season!

I'm excited that the new season finally started last weekend. I'm really happy to see all of the teams that are on there. Of course, there are still some old favorites that are missing that I would have liked to have seen.

I am so sad that I was not able to watch the entire season. I get confused with the schedule of Amazing Race and Amazing Race Asia. So more often than not, I got to watch Amazing Race Asia. But from some episodes I watched, Amazing Race US is quite exciting. One question though, how come Amazing Race Asia has more tasks at hand than the US and yet, they offer a smaller amount for Amazing Race Asia? hahaha... But still, I love Amazing Race...

I can't answer the questions that you have comparing the Amazing Race US version versus the Asian version of Amazing Race because I am not at all familiar with the Asian version of the program.
