By the way, a little vindication, a small victory if you will, is that Team Boy Guns actually finished the rock task first and beat Reality. So Reality was last. Which feels nice. That is our win. I can’t imagine them ever living it down if Team Reality beat them. Even the Mexicans, whose lives they are trying to destroy, would laugh at them. And rightly so.

Bopper’s head is conveniently covering JJ’s junk for us. Also, are those fang bite marks on there?

And then Team Reality gets to Phil and…you know what? Who cares! I never have to watch, think, or write about them again. And that starts right now! There was no third place winner for us on season 20. Yeah, we feel better already.

Thanks AR for another exciting season! Hope you all had as much fun as we did! Please, let us know in the comments what you thought. And the next time you read something by Franberry there’ll be another little berry with us. Probably named “Phil Shark-Tooth-Necklace Taylor Wily Ford Focus Rachel-Should-Divorce-Dave Franberry!” See ya next time! xo

And the green bedazzled little piggy cried ‘wee wee wee Brendon’ all the way to the next reality show.

    You missed the best Blowup Rachel part (not sure if it were the first or second leg of this double episode) — when Dave said something like “Silence is golden, Rachel!” and she responded “Then why don’t you shut the f*** up!?!”

    Yes @Jimbob – that was fantastic…Blowup Rachel has thrown out some gems this season.

    I also loved it when Blowup Dave was straddling the guy he rescued on the back of the waverunner and apologized to him, “Sorry bro.” hehe

    His lips said “Sorry, bro”, but his eyes said “Would you be my little soldier?”

    I love that the patrol guys did not win!! I also thought it was pretty damn funny how they were on rachel and brenden’s case about “following” when they were trying to follow team blow up.

    I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome considering who was left to root for.

    ^ I know, right?

    Has there ever been a more unlikable final 4 in AR history? Out of the 8 people, I liked exactly 1. And that was partly because of her ability to put up with her douche-nozzle of a husband.

    One of the things that’s kept me a consistent AR viewer is that usually there’s at least one team at the end of it all that doesn’t qualify as petty, whiny, pathetic, mean, or otherwise unlikeable. This is the first season I can remember where I felt the glimmer of hope that the earth would swallow up all the finalists and we’d be left with no winners.

    I’d like to say that this was a bleh season, which is was, but the over-the-top behavior of the final four teams really did make for some entertaining moments. I suppose I have to hand that to team Reality – they do know how to play the camera – and clearly RR believes like Barnum that there’s no such thing as bad publicity…

    I’ve never been happier to see a season end. Couldn’t have come sooner.

    I normally multitask while reading recaps, not so for Fran&Berry recaps. Thank you for a wonderful season of recaps. I wish there was a reunion show for TAR, mainly because I think the recap would be snark filled comedic gold.

    Sadly, that helmet-cam view of Reality Rachel was the most normal I thought she has looked this whole season. I never noticed before that her eyes don’t look in the same direction. If they do another all-stars season, Team Reality better not be asked back. I hope this is the end of their 15 minutes.

    Even if you don’t like any of the final three teams, you have to admit that was a pretty good final episode. There was some real tension. I bet the producers were just cackling with glee when they saw what was happening. As soon as Reality got in the cab I knew they were toast but I really couldn’t tell who was going to win. Then skipping a roadblock. It’s like the editors finally learned how to edit.

    I just wish we could have seen Rachel & Brendon trying to stand up and paddle across that lake. You know and I know that Rachel had to have fallen off that thing 100 times and cried and whined the whole time. She was soaking wet when she got to the finish line.

    @chooch — You actually WANT to hear that woman cry and whine some more?

    I wish ART and JJ had won cause they were the most compatible but I was happy with DAVE and RACHEL winning. There’s only one thing I would change about Dave — he should grow some facial hair. He wouldn’t look so third Reich then. Dave and Rachel were very deserving winners though.

    Not a fan of that big, blobby Hawaiian guy – “taylor willy?” Uh, he’s just trying too hard. I’ve never been a fan of peeps that are so needy that they want everybody to “like” them. Personally, I think he should cut down on some of those luaus and go on a diet.

    Thanks for all the recaps. I looked forward to reading all of them.

    Hilarious recaps. Thanks. The Blowups, the Arian couple, are the first couple to officially ruin the Amazing Race by winning. Actually, if Blowup wifey would take her half million and hire Gloria Alred to wipe hubby’s arse with divorce papers, the show might just be redeemed. But for her to have learned nothing from her hubby’s (are you sure his name isn’t Heinrich or Ludvig?) behavior, just makes this million dollar win as exciting as seeing a German Luge contestant win gold.

    Can we please see Kentucky again- can they get their own show?!
