i’m so glad that tammy and victor won! they did deserve it. by the way, phil, i saw you on hollywood 411, and i’m loving the beard! has anyone ever told you you should get into acting? i think you’d make a great james bond! once you start filming for season 15, maybe you could give us a blog on the teams before it airs on tv, just a hint or something. i love how calm cara was during all the times that jaime yelled at her. cara didn’t yell back, she said “good job jaime” and encouraged her instead of yelling at her like jaime did. cara really is a good friend. also, maybe phil didn’t know what to say about jaime. it doesn’t mean he hates her. i’m sure there are some good qualities about jaime, just not when she’s in foreign countries trying to get a taxi, lol. on tv i saw jaime and cara at the finale party, but i didn’t see anyone else from this season except the winners obviously. can’t wait for next season! i hope it’s as good as season 14! also, jen, jaime and cara aren’t twins.

Amanda&Kris rock. Such a strong team. I wish they were in the finals. they wld be if not for Margie&Luke who U-turned them. Margie is a good and encouraging Mum.She learned sign language for Luke’s sake. But Luke was quite rude to her.
I like Kisha and Jen too.I am so sad they did not make it to the finals. Jen is such a good sports person,a pity she wAs scared to go in the water. Kisha is an encouraging older sister,there to support Jen and letting her climb/hang on to her shoulders(figuratively of course) whenver she needed. Instead of scolding Jen at the swimming pool in China,she comforted,and kept saying “we are finishing strong”. Great sister!.

I am so happy Tammy and Victor won!yes they might have an advantage in China,bu why are you people complaining? The producers are neutral and DO NOT PLAN THE RACE AROUND MAKING A TEAM WIN OR LOSE. In fact it’s planned ahead. If certain people hv an advantage,it’s pure luck. people are of different backgrounds,culture etc, so u can’t expect the producers to plan in such a way that everyone gets equal advantage. Besides it’s planned before the cast is finalised. And in China,althought Tammy&Victor can speak chinese,they still hv do tasks, WAY harder than speaking chinese, plus the luck of taxi driver etc. Don’t complain abt their luck.
SKILL,KNOWLEDGE,and LUCK are all elements of the race. Take for instance the plane Tammy&Victor were on, it had technical difficulties and had to turn back in episode3,flight to Romania. Did the producers ahve contorl over that? ABSOLUTELY NOT. So in this game,luck does play a part.
So think logically. Don’t make such personal attack on players.

Arrogant lawyers won due to an unfair advantage. The girls lost due to rude, dumb cabbies. L & M – terrific! Luke is not a whiny brat – he is deaf and his behavior is due to his means of communicating. And remember his sensitivity – the tears shed over the poverty he saw – he’s a true man raised by a wonderful woman. Three legs is China was boring so I did some housework with the TV in the background.

When Kesha and Jen were roadblocked on the last leg in China, hello! they had to go listen to CHINESE people speak in CHINESE what they wanted to order to eat, they then had to speak CHINESE in exactly the same manner to the CHINESE chefs before they could complete the task. Anyone have any idea how much quicker Victor&Tammy completed this over Keesha & Jen?
That is one reason why it was a HUGE advantage to have 3 legs in China for the CHINESE speaking American-Chinese brother&sister.

kersey. You can to look at all the factors that came into play. Lets not forget Keisha & Jen. The producers knew that Jen was afraid of water. Deathly afraid of water. And what did they do? There was a marathon swimming challenge in China and then a jet ski challenge in the open water at Hawaii. Yes, they did not make it that far but thats beside the point. The race was fixed so that they would not have any chance of winning.

I don’t understand how many people can be so stupid. THE RACE ROUTE IS PLANNED AHEAD OF TIME. Or is middle America just racist. Did people complain a few seasons ago when they were in South America – which helped Danny and Oswald. No, they didn’t. HOW DID THE PRODUCERS KNOW THAT TAMMY AND VICTOR WOULD HAVE MADE IT THAT FAR IN THE RACE?? They could have been eliminated before they got to China. And weren’t the teams on the same flight to Hawaii? Think, People!

“I’m sure Cara was a great cheerleader on the field, but she is definitely an all-star off the field.”
Please let this equal a cryptic way of saying that there will be another All-Stars, and that Jaime/Cara will be included! My all-time favorite female team (bumping season 5’s Kwins and season 2’s Mary/Peach down).

I loved this season of TAR. It started out as being the “best comedy” on TV and ended with some cool locales and challenges. Maybe because I’ve traveled myself so much (and ironically to areas they seem to go soon after I do!), but this is definitely my favorite reality show. It really rocks.
Not enough mention about Phil’s ride in here–what a phenomenal event he just took part in. He raised nearly $400,000 for MS and donated 100 grand of his own money in doing so!! The world needs more people like him in it.
I see mentions of finding past seasons on DVD and only S1 is available. Maybe so…but good ‘ol BT has a ton of stuff available, including huge full-season blocks. If you don’t know what that abbreviation means, ask a computer person
See you all for TAR15!
