Amazing race finale post game

Well as I predicted the the Brother Dan and Jordan were more prepared for the memory challenge that any of the remaining teams, and being so a super fan of the show you would think I would be happy for another super fan to win. The Brothers dirty tactics throughout the entire last leg was a total turn off, especially at the cost of two very honorable contestants Jet and Cord. The minute they cut in line in front of the Cowboys I was rooting against the the entire leg. The fact that they got away with sneaking up to first class on the plane which is bending the rules are far as you can and in my mind they broke them. Teams are prohibited from flying anything but coach. This is well known and long standing rule of the Amazing Race. Although their tickets said coach, they had no business sitting up in first class. I believe that had this not been the final leg and the show would have had to risk a lawsuit, that the Brothesr would have been penalized in any other leg.

I'm very dissatisfied with this outcome. The tactics used by the pair were shameful and NOT in keeping with the spirit of the show. Most disappointing is that a long time fan pulled these tactics and in my mind cheated to win. Cord and Jet were honorable throughout the Race and were much more deserving of the win. The only props I will give to the winners is excelling at the memory test.

Worst of all, we again had to listen to Brandy's bitching one more time. I'm not sure who I hate more right now the winner or the classless Brandy and her tantrum at the finish line. I was glad Caite shut her up by saying that he could deal with her actions, and was still standing at the end of the race. Unfortunately for Brandy she will have to live with being outfoxed by the Beauty Queen for the rest of her life. I'm sure she will make everyone she comes in contact with miserable because of it repeatedly.

Caite outsmarted Brandy. Plain and Simple. She played the U-turn to get revenge for the way she had been treated and it paid off and eliminated to you. She might not know where Iraq is but she was smart enough to dump your ass out of the race. The lesbian pair was a strong team not as strong as Jet and Cord who were cheated out a win but it was smart for Cait and Brent to oust them to continue. It gave them a shot at winning and finishing the race so well played.

As for the winners Dan and Jordan I have nothing but scorn. I've never been this pissed with an Amazing Race ending before, and there have been plenty of teams I didn't like who went on to win.
