And the second team that finds the pit stop first is…Team Boy Guns! Art grabs Phil and JJ says “don’t molest Phil!” Art says he has to. We know how you feel Art, we know how you feel. Team Boy Guns says it’s a FACT that they are going to win.

Reality and Second Chance are looking for the mat and much to our dismay Team Reality is the third team to arrive. We feel bad for Second Chance, but relieved for Vanessa’s ankle. So, Reality Rachel cries and all that crap and talk about how they are underdogs and are general idiots.

Even people just standing around looks like a horror movie in Japan.

Second Chance is eliminated, but they take it well. Phil even compliments Vanessa on how she really dug deep today. Or so the PA’s told him via walkie talkie. Vanessa says from here on out it’s smooth sailing. So, apparently they break up.

The remaining teams all say how they are going to win in the most annoying way possible. Boy Guns is too relaxed and cocky. Reality is painful and dramatic and Blowup Dave says “We will successfully complete operation Amazing Race.” So who are we rooting for? Nobody!! Stay tuned for part two of the finale of season twenty of…The Amazing Race!

    You think you hate Rachel and Brendan? You’ve only sat through 12 hours of these two. I sat through an entire summer of BIG BROTHER with Rachel and Brendan AND IT WAS ON THREE TIMES A WEEK!

    All these people saying, “Oh, poor Rachel. Vanessa is so mean to her.”

    Uh, Rachel deserves everything she gets. That “event hostess”: which is code for HOOKER in Vegas — is now an AMAZING RACE loser. I wish PHIL would have kicked her FAT ass off the stage and said, “GO back to Vegas you ugly, old skank and take your border patrol hating, small penis (I’ve seen the photos), “always a student” boyfriend with you.”

    Felt bad for Ralphie and Vanessa. It was painful to watch her running and jumping. It wasn’t her fault. They just got dealt a bad hand.

    I just noticed the “about the author” tab and found out that you are not the real Fran and Berry from Amazing Race 9. That explains how “fran” can be pregnant. I wondered all season about that.

    Blowup Rachel was friggin’ adorable this entire episode. From Dave’s initial schpiel (where she kept saying “soldier” over and over again until he conceded) to her “poopy pants” comment (and her multiple smackdowns of Dave in the second half), I think I fell in love with her a little bit. Too bad she’s married to such a humongous douchewad.

    I understand disliking BB (I dislike them myself), but the simple fact is, being a catty bitch to someone who has done NOTHING to you makes you more unlikable, which is why I hated Team Eleventieth Chance more than Team BB.

    I hated them even MORE because their nasty attitude had me rooting for Team BB to beat them. Since I hate Team BB, that put me into a bit of a quandary, making me hate Eleventieth chance even MORE. It’s a vicious cycle. Too bad Vanessa couldn’t have shown half the heart the rest of the race that she showed this episode — I might have actually been cheering for her instead of wanting her to lose.

    All told, outside of Bopper and Barfer and Blowup Rachel, this season was a whole lot of boring teams, and a whole lot of unlikable ones. Not a stellar season by any stretch of the imagination. Especially when it came to the final 4 and I didn’t like any of the teams (except for one member of one of the teams).

    Am I the only one rooting for Border Patrol (or was rooting for Border Patrol) during the second half? Not because they are awesome or deserving of the win, but only because they gave Bopper and Mark part of their money they won one leg. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be sad if a big sinkhole swallowed all the teams up on the way to the hotel after the pit stop.

    I did like Blowup Rachel when she started talking back to Capt. Dillweed, but it was about 14 legs to late for me to actually cheer for her.

    Team Kentucky for All Stars!

    @trixiebell: I found out last season was shocked, I tell ya, shocked! This was pre-pregnancy so they even deeper in character…it was seamless. After, I found out the weren’t the real Fran and Berry I felt duped. Then I loved it because, boy, are they committed.

    Keep up the good work guys!

    Mr. D said of Brendan, “. . . small penis (I’ve seen the photos).”

    Uh, I’ve seen the photos too. Just WHAT are you packing that you think he’s a tiny dicked guy?

    Out of the four final teams, I was definitely rooting for Border Patrol. Reality Rachel and Second Chance Vanessa are both evil b***hs. Rachel is just as catty and mean, some of the things she was saying in the PI were awful. And the way she acts all the time, it is such a cry for help (no pun intended). Since she totally DVRed her Big Brother time and watched it all, you could tell she knows how to play for the cameras. There were a couple of times that after doing something, she would quickly look directly into the camera.

    I know someone has asked this earlier in the season, but what happens if a team wins a trip during this race by coming in first, but they break-up, no longer friends, etc. Who gets the trip? Do they have to pay taxes for the trips/prizes they win?

    Can wait for part two! I will admit, I was yelling at my computer while watching.

    Funniest tvgasm comment ever: She’s the second worst thing to happen to Hiroshima. Priceless.
