The Rules!
This week the voting is different. Instead of singling out which team goes home or is it a nonelim/superleg, you want to try to peg the finishing order, who finishes:
4th/3rd/2nd/1st win!
Please use the following designations in casting your votes:
FB for Flight Time & Big Easy (Globetrotters)
GM for Gary & Mallory (Father/Daughter)
LJ for LaKisha & Jennifer (Sisters)
ZJ for Zev & Justin (Best Friends)
Should you feel, for example, that Flight & Big will finish 4th, Gary & Mallory will finish 3rd, LaKisha & Jennifer will finish 2nd, and Zev & Justin win the race, your vote should read:
FB/GM/LJ/ZJ win!
Of course, the other standard rules apply: Cast your vote in the subject heading (erase where it says "Re TAR 18 Fans..." and replace with your vote), blah blahblah blah, Have fun!
Eliminations
leg 001: Superleg (Jet & Cord trailing last)
leg 002: Amanda & Kris bounced
leg 003: Mel & Mike croaked
leg 004: Superleg (Kent & Vyxsin freakout)
leg 005: Jaime & Cara extinction
leg 006: Margie & Luke stalled
leg 007: Ron & Christina baled
leg 008: NEL (Gary & Mallory swept)
leg 009: Jet & Cord bagged
leg 010: Kent & Vyxsin snowed
Zev & Justin have to switch Detours, fall behind and wind up getting Philiminated -- much to my disappointment.Gary & Mallory fall behind the other two teams and can't catch up, making me also rather disappointed.
It's a footrace to the Finish Line and LaKisha & Jen are faster than Flight Time & Big Easy, so LaKisha & Jen are the second all-female team to win the million dollars.
Photo finish? I'm not taking that literally. One thing TAR does kind of fudge on a bit for drama is close finishes, they almost never are.FB for 4th, the Globetrotters didn't learn much from their previous mistakes in the Race.
ZJ for 3rd, I like how they get along with each other but they get hung up in challenges from time to time, last leg is just not the time to do that.
LJ for 2nd, the Sisters are much better racers this time, did learn from their previous mistakes in the Race, and in avoiding drama this time they are much more likeable, but they still misjudge things from time to time and will be fighting to overtake the lead in the final stretch to the finish line.
GM for the win, first parent/child team to win the Race!
