There was a little bunching (at least the Hippies and Frat Boys were slowed by the 8:30am opening time) but the teams were so spread out after the last leg that it made little difference.

Next week's looks hilarious.

this show gets so frustrating to me sometimes, people who are scared of heights should have some idea there will be some bungy jumping involved along the race :p

Decent episode last night. I was pretty worried that the hippies were close to being kicked off, although I was positive it would be a non-elimination round. I don't think there has been a single one yet this year, has there?

Good to see Ray and Yolanda improving and not trailing the entire race again, although drama seems to happen with them a bit next week.

yep, no non-elimination legs yet, which suits me fine. I hate them. I've always said that if they want to stretch the episode count they should have more teams, not non-elimination legs.

here's hoping the hippies make up some ground

Oh man, i hope the hippies get booted, they drive me nuts. They so should have been out of it after this episode, but the one thing they definitely have going for them is that they stay happy and keep chugging until the end.

I've always wondered if the non-elim rounds are truly pre-determined or not. I imagine the producers like the hippies because they are colourful and friendly, and would want to keep them around. I like their growing rivalry with the Frat boys, so I'm happy they're still around.

Buh-bye, Fran and Barry. Glad to see you gone. If I had to listen to Fran whine she "can't do this" one more time, I'd have tossed a bottle through the TV.

Also didn't want to see Yolanda and her great legs gone, either.

And then there were 3.

Yeehaw, I'm happy with this final three, I like all three teams. It should make for a good end-game.

Looks like they are in Japan and Alaska or something.

so long as the frat boys don't win, I'll be satisfied

I'm pulling for the hippies to win, and i'm tied for Ray/Yolanda and Frat Boys. The Frat boys have worked there asses off and dominated the race for most of it though - they deserve it if they win it.

Yes, but on the other hand, they have basically said that they want to win the money so they can sit around and jerk off on the beach all day. Hardly a cause worth rooting for. I have more faith that Ray and Yolanda or the hippies will put the money to better use.

^ lol, true about the frats. I was so happy to see MoJo gone, they pissed me off SO much. Monica was such a frikkin hippocrate it made me sick. She pissed and moaned to no end after being yeilded by the hippies, while you KNOW MoJo would have yeilded the hips if they had the chance.

Should be a great racew to the finish. Go Hippies!

Hippies Rule! Fratboys drooll. :)

another satisfying finale. I can't think of any team (outside of Zach and Flo) who I didn't want to see win this show.

I was happy with the outcome as well, but I would of have been just as happy if Frat boys came in first and hippies second. Both teams were extremely strong and worked very well with each other.

The Hippies' ability to speak Japanese pretty much sealed it for me. I'm extremely pleased that they won. The final challenge was a great one.

It was a good finish. I just heard OLN will repeat Season 1 this summer, which is great, because we only started watching this phenomena with season 2.

I started with season 4 I think so I'm glad to see the other series I missed.

Wow.. Tokyo at night? best. location. ever. I said I wanted to go to Sao Paolo before but now I REALLY want to go to Tokyo. There were a lot of firsts this season if I recall correctly. First time in the middle east (well, unless you include Egypt). First time in Japan outside an airport. First time starting and ending in the same location. They still insist on going the same direction around the world though. This season more than any other was clearly dominated by specific teams. In other seasons it's seemed more like luck than anything else that put certain teams ahead. Probably didn't get very good ratings but it was a good comeback for the show.

go hippies!
both teams deserved to win, and it would of been priceless to see mojos face when the hippies crossed the line !
hopefully they make another season of this great show
