It's tough going out by relying on someone else (a cab driver) as opposed to your own shortcomings (dancing like a white guy). K & J were always tough competitors, but when Jen talked about taking swimming lessons in preparation for this Race I got even more respect for her. How many teams train before the Race to be able to overcome a weakness?
Zev and Justin getting waxed - I'm still chuckling. Not funny, but it was hilarious.

Kisha and Jen were probably the team I would have least liked to win but I didn't dislike them as much this time around. Close race and Gary and Mallory also done in by a cab driver. Interesting no memory challenge on the places they have been on the final leg.

My sentiments exactly. Gary and Mallory should have called for another cab if possible. I would have liked to see another memory challenge at the end, though without the use of notes that has made it too easy in recent seasons. The 7 mile bike ride was anticlimactic since they never showed the K&J and the GT's in the same camera shot...you knew it wasn't even close.

If you lose cuz of something you did wrong or weren't able to do that's one thing. When you lose cuz you managed to find the one cab driver in Miami that doesn't know his way around Miami that's another thing. The last leg seemed like more of a scavenger hunt than anything else, but I guess you don't want the show becoming too predictable. Pretty cool season all told. Sunday evenings are going to seem a little empty, so hopefully CBS picks it up for another season.

Huh.
Never knew Kisha was a lesbian, or that Luke was gay as well.

I noticed that Luke was wearing a shirt which said something to the effect of "sinister deaf kid" at the finale.

I was thinking the same thing. The last leg always comes down to a decent cab driver. There are never really any lead changes in these final legs so whoever gets an early lead will keep it. There was not really any place to catch up. The loader roadblock was pretty lame since there wasn't really any way you could do that much faster. The only place to make up time would be to quickly find the clue with the sub.
Zev made a comment that I wondered about. Is there a rule stating each team member must do the same number of roadblocks? I know there was in the past but I don't know if that is still a rule. Why else would Zev need to do the dancing roadblock if they didn't have to be even at some point?

I believe the maximum is 7...out of 12 legs. So you don't have to be exactly 50/50, but you have to be close. I presume you'd want to have the option going into the last leg for either person to do it, so that if it plays to one teammate better, they won't be prohibited from doing it.

I was doing some sleuthing last night after the show and apparently they are filming Amazing Race 19 right now. Casting was done in January. I was a little surprised that they didn't mention it at the end of last nights episode.

The last leg was a little misleading. They didn't have to ride seven miles on the tricycles.. Old Seven Mile Bridge terminates at Pigeon Key and I think it's about 1/3 of the way.
Enjoyed the season, it was interesting having teams I already knew. Too bad Zev and Justin didn't get to win, I was pulling for them. It's frustrating when you don't have a team you've invested in at the end.
