Yeah, I'm okay. First time in a long time that I didn't *hate* everyone going into the final, so yeah, I'm okay with TK and Rachel.

MuddDude and I've been supporting TK and Rachel since the first day (mostly because they strongly remind us of good friends of ours from college...)

I was a little disconcerted by the rather evident way the producers finagled it so that TK and Rachel wouldn't get eliminated last week. On the other hand, I also hate when reality shows blatantly keep contestants who cause drama over contestants who don't. So, yeah.

I love The Amazing Race, and I was happy with any outcome that didn't involve The Screaming Harpy and Her Cheating Boyfriend winning. TK and Rachel seemed like nice kids all along, too. So not the most exciting season, but still one of the least objectionable endings.

Do you mean the handwritten "opening hours" sign at the rooftop gardens? I thought the same thing, too, but the recap over on Television Without Pity says that there was actually another shot of a permanent sign, with the same opening hours posted. (I didn't save last week's ep, so I couldn't check to confirm.)

Ron and Christina seemed like they were a bit set up to win, or at least make it to the finals. She speaks Mandarin and Japanese and the last two legs were in Taiwan and Japan? C'mon!
