Oh, I know they didn't all suck. My favourite team in all three seasons -- Sharon/Melody from TARA1 -- happens to have a celebrity in it. But there are people who are clearly cast BECAUSE they are famous (Natalie), and then there are celebrities who are cast because they love the show and want to do it (Melody, Ida). I think that's a very important distinction to make.

Oh well, at least the girls had fun, and that's what really counts right? Right? Right, sort of, and to an extent. They had a great can-do attitude, and I think, were just generally delightful to watch. They made the season fun, they made it to the finale, and at least they didn't lose the top spot to a horrendous team - all those things don't make up for the fact that they lost, but they make the loss a bit more bearable, I...

That's incredibly impressive that she did all that and didn't lose the baby! That's gonna be one tough kid! :D Anybody know where I might find TARA2 online?

I say the Sony Ad featuring eventual winners Sam and Vince that the network released halfway into the season was the biggest proof of them all. Bad, bad idea! In retrospect. Also really disliked the Caltex commercials where race losers say who they think the winner's going to be. I say they shouldn't give us anything we may derive clues from outside of the actual show.

But didn't Allan say that the tattoo FF taken by Vince and Sam was the only FF on the entire race this season? If that's the case, then there's no second FF available, MFE team or no MFE team. This post has been edited by legaleagle44 : Oct 28, 2008 @ 11:18 am.

Team Geofisha for the win! :)

The last two episodes were a complete letdown. Ugh. The final 4 episode was badly planned, and had 2 teams quitting. AD and Fuzzie completely disappointed me, they were given a free pass to the top 3 and QUIT. Jeez. Then I was hoping for a good final episode to wash off the sour impression that the previous one left me, and it was the same letdown. It started out promising in Oman, but once Ida and Tania missed their flight and the teams hit...

Total letdown. I like V&S but really didn't like the quitting last ep. Partially agree with mintyflake on how Vince treats Sam, altho I can't really blame him. Sam is a nice guy, but can be such a whiner. I was not surprised by the outcome at all. I felt in my gut that the Sony commercial was the BIG SPOILER again ... and was proven right. Am not even sure if I will even bother to watch next season -- this season was...

I must say, I'm half-surprised that the entire F5 consists of same-sex teams. Half-not, because it was obvious the last co-ed team was totally the weakest team of the F6 and long overdue for an elimination.

This thread needs some more action; to get that by having it bumped up in the thread order is a desirable goal. I don't have a lot to say because speculation on the ARA3 route is far advanced, but there is conflicting information which prevents it from being a lock. The most appropriate comment I can make is the the route is approximately the shape of the number 5 with the top sheared off and added onto the left side of the bottom. The...
