    Yes! I remember in the beginning I didn't think this couple would make it but glad they have. I loved it when they found out about the earlier flight (the other 2 couples were booked on) being delayed and got themselves on a flight that would get them there earlier & had confirmed seats on the connecting flight. I'm doing the happy dance that a certain nasty guy lost and he so thought he would win!!! Nernee Nernee!

    I had wanted the bowling moms to win but they didn't make it to the final 3. WTG tho, those ladies surprised a lot of people by going as far as they had.

    Looking forward to next season.
    What are your thoughts Michelle?

    I agree with just about everything you've said. Collin was nasty, but I do think he and Christy deserved to win based on all the legs of the race where they placed 1st. I was so impressed when they came back from so far behind.

    Do the 2nd and 3rd place people win anything?

    Adding: I would have been happy with any of the top three winning the race

    I was thrilled that Chip and Kim won. Dh and I were sooooo afraid that Collin & Kristie would. Ya know, I know they did really well but good grief he was abusive! And he KNEW he was on t.v. too so can you imagine how he treats her when noone is watching?
    I'm like you Darlene, I was laughing my hinney off when Chip and Kim found out the flight had been delayed and got in on an earlier flight.
    WTG Chip and Kim!
    I wanted the bowling moms to win too. But I can so see how that rope climb thing would do an old gal in......I was thinking Gosh that would be me only I wouldn't have done that well.

    I was sooooo pleased wiht the outcome. I was rooting for them for awhile now! I was touched, too, when they were talking about how they can assure their kids that anything can be done. It was nice!

    I can't wait for the next season

    I am glad that they won. I just didn't want Collin and kristie to win. I really didn't like him at all.

    I didn't care who won as long as Collin and Kristie didn't. I just didn't like his attitude.

    We were rooting for any of the remaining teams except Collin and Christie. I was so mad at them in the end for endangering people's lives by driving on the shoulder of the road to try and win. IDIOTS! My family and I were all really hoping a police officer would come by and haul them and their driver off to jail.

    I was rooting for Chip and Kim from the get go. There was a lot of happy dancing going on at myu house and we don't even get any $$ for it. And yes, I think second and thrid get something. It seems that I saw it aat one time. Like $50,000 for second and $25,000 for third. I looked today but couldn't find it anywhere but I think I saw that on one of the morning shows from one of the previous Races.

    I am glad that they won too... I loved how Chip told his cab driver, "You just made me rich..." or something to that effect. That was cool. I think he gave the driver all the money he had on him.LOL
