Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

The "speed bumps" that were done, were some of the stupidest things ever.

First one this season was eating ice cream. Then just put 1 piece of clothing on someone..The one today looked like it took 5 mins at most. What happened to the days where the last team in non elimination leg lost all their items and money.


Final challenge was crazy. There were thousands of possible combinations weren't there? Took over 2 hours for any team to even complete. Only thing that sucked was how due to the timing of the challenge, showing clips from each person,ruined the results. They tried to make it look like the finals were close, but you could easily see the farmers were done when the sky was still blue,and other teams finished when it was dark

Still.....the farmers won!?! Talk about biggest upsets lol. The entire season, they were basically just the team to finish next to last lol. Wonder how everyone will view that double U turn decision now. At the time it was smart move, but looking back on it, it's obvious that it cost them.

Also...if anyone ever finds the conclusion of the James-Abba story(about if they ever did get their passports back from the taxi, or what else happened after they were eliminated), let me know.

Very pleased for the farmers. Does that put them in the history books now? Surely no other winner has gone the distance without winning a single leg until the final leg.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

lol, they went 7 straight legs finishing last(non elimination leg) or next to last.

Not sure about how many legs the winning team has won in past seasons. I know last year was record for most legs won, so sorta ironic for this season.

Also...has any team won the show before,after getting saved by non elimination leg?

Best ending yet. Couldn't be happier about any team winning. Even my wife, who only watched the least three episodes, and could care less about any of them, pumped her fist, cheered, and shed a tear.

I would have enjoyed if the Jaymes's won too, but the Beekman win made my year.

Season 18, Kisha and Jen did it without winning any other leg
Season 16, Dan and Jordan only leg they won besides the last was won on a fast forward
Season 12, TK and Rachel were saved by a non elimination leg
Season 11, Eric and Danielle were saved by non elimination leg and the only leg they won was the last
Season 9, BJ and Tyler were saved by non elimination legs twice
Season 7, Uchenna and Joyce were saved by non elimination leg
Season 3, Flo and Zach were saved by non elimination legs twice
Season 2, Chris and Alex were saved by non elimination legs twice

That's a bit surprising that so many winners were saved or didn't win any other legs. The goat farmers were the winning team that spent the most time close to elimination.

That last sentence wasn't easy to write without it seeming like a crude joke about them being gay.

I was happy that James was at least able to get his mom a car out of the whole deal and that the twins were eliminated early. They were especially annoying last night. Really surprised with how the whole thing ended. Good finale.

Abba and James must have got their passports back as they were in NYC for the finale.

The last time a team lost their passports (a few seasons ago), they were stuck and not even on the finale for that very reason, being trapped in whatever country they were in.

Thought it was a good finale, just glad that the Twinny's didn't win, that would have ruined the entire season.

Why isn't this word censored ? :wink:

i could only find part 1, but they explain the process here

plus, if you haven't yet seen it, the beekmans give their thanks and have a show on the cooking channel coming up.

So it was basically admitted that what happened to James-Abba with the stolen money, should have resulted in the other teams being kicked out?

They should really give those guys another chance. Getting cheated 2 times in the race. They already had a "2nd chance" season not too long ago, maybe have one like "fans vs faves" type thing. Half teams are fans, other half are returning "faves"

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

I'm looking forward to the next season, all ready.

I wish they would put the past seasons on Netflix or Hulu+

I remember I used to watch marathons of the show on GSN, when I was younger.

The only thing is... I just think it doesn't speak well for your challenges if those farmers can win. They were just too easy really.

Hopefully next season there's some intense mental/physical challenges.

How so, everybody did the same challenges so if the farmers did them faster what's that say about the competition?

They lost every leg and still won. I mean if they were a strong team I wouldn't even say anything, but we all know they were consistently one of the weaker teams. I'm not torn up about them winning I still think a team that weak should not be able to win a race around the world.

In general I would say for sure none of the challenges were really that crazy. I would like to see the difficulty level be cranked up a bit.

Re: *** The Amazing Race: Season 21 ***

They only lost one leg.

In the end, if the farmers were so weak, they should have been able to eliminate them. Your assertion was that the challenges were too easy, well they had to be "too easy" for everybody yet at some point each team failed to do them faster than the farmers.
