Or any of the other two teams - Christina and Ron, Nick and Don. We finally watched last Sunday’s episode of The Amazing Race tonight. I am so happy that Nate and Jen are gone. I don’t understand why she took TK and Rachel catching up so personal. It is a race, people! Did you see Nate crying? He has called Jen horrible things throughout the race and now he was crying? The scenes from the finale look cool. I will actually be really happy for any of the teams left. I can’t wait for the finale on Sunday.

I’m also looking forward to the finale. It’s been an interesting season, because I expected two of the last 3 teams to be goners way sooner in the race. Isn’t that how it usually works? All the atypical, interesting folks are not as good at the race and we’re left with choosing the “least offensive” of the jerks that remain. But not this season; R & C have really been a force to be reckoned with, and that grandpa sure is interesting. I too am rooting for TK & Rachel but I’d be happy with any of the others, too. I couldn’t stand N & Jen, but she was hilarious. I swear, if I heard her say “but it’s my birthday!!” one more time… it’s a race for a million bucks and she honestly thought TK & Rachel were going to not catch up to them because it was her birthday? That was soooooooooooo funny. “I can’t believe they caught up to us! And on my BIRTHday!!” “I can’t believe this bus is slower than a cab. And it’s my BIRTHday!!” “I can’t believe you’re going to argue back with me on my BIRTHday, Nate.” bwa ha ha ha ha!!!
(ps. I guess here is an appropriate place for me to tell you that I started watching PR after all. It’s so good! My faves are Sweet P and - you’re not going to believe this - Christian.)

I think C carries R & C. And her command of Japanese and Chinese language makes me wonder if they ask about “languages spoken” on the TAR application. I think that’s been a huge help to them in the last two legs.
I think we like TK & R because they have such a laid-back approach to life, and juxtaposed with N & Jen who seem to fall to pieces and turn on each other in the face of the slightest bit of resistance, they are very refreshing (that sentence was too long).
Also, we don’t have any respect for a guy (N) that would call his wife/girlfriend/any living woman the things that he’s called Jenn. No respect whatsoever and it doesn’t matter that he’s “under stress”.
I’m sorta pulling for N & D cause they got tatooed - TATOOED for the freaking race. Talk about taking one for the team. How about an “I ran the Amazing Race and all I got was this tatoo” t-shirt.

I couldn’t stand Nate and Jen either! He was horrible to her, but honestly, I think she was just as horrible to him. They had no respect for each other. I’m excited for the finale!!
