    Okay, I hope this is enough space.

    Can I say I am totally thrilled with the end result?!?!?! Go HIPPIES!!!! Wow, they were just so cool. I just loved the way they ran their race, getting to know the people, culture, and language of every city they were in. As opposed to those guys in second place, who were poking fun of the Japanese.

    Ray and Yolanda got what they had coming to them. In the end, their navigation skills killed them. I'm just so happy for them, though. It seemed like they were really having fun and enjoying each other and the race towards the end there.

    I'm DVR-ing the CBS Morning Show so I can see the Hippies all cleaned up. :)

    Your thoughts?

    Even DH (who only occasionally watches, and is definitely not a hard-core TAR fan) was cheering on the Hippies as they made their final run to the finish line. They were the only team that (as far as I could tell) learned at least a couple phrases in the languages of every country they visited. I thought it was hysterical when they were on the folding bikes in Japan and were shouting (in Japanese), "Crazy foreigners coming through!!" I thought it was really petty of the frat boys to accuse them of playing dirty. I think the frat boys had their egos bruised by getting beaten by these weirdos.

    Anyway, YAY HIPPIES!!!

    Woohoo!!!

    It's amazing that the hippies went from nearly being eliminated TWICE to winning!

    I can't believe how close it was at the end. It was really exciting.

    What an awkward momemt that was when the guy at the hotel lied to the Frat Boys about internet access. I didn;t think he would actually lie.

    I think it's weird that the OP says Ray and Yolanda "got what they had coming to them". I thought they played fair all along. I do agree though, that they wasted way too much time stopping to ask for directions. They should have asked better questions when they stopped the first time, so that they didn't have to keep stopping. I think that they can be very proud for how they ran the race and for where they ended up in the end.

    Yay! this was one fun season of AR!

    Yes, they played fair, but they couldn't navigate well at all throughout the whole race, so I knew they wouldn't win.

    OMG--I just watched my recording of the Early Show.

    Aside from BJ and Tyler being dressed like weirdos, RAY PROPOSED TO YOLANDA WITH A TIFFANY DIAMOND!!! It was so so sweet...

    I'm so happy for them.

    It's all karma! They are good to others, so they got what they deserved! They were almost eliminated twice -- what were the odds of both of those pit stops being non-elimination legs? I'm telling you, it was their good karma! And then for them to end up winning was amazing -- I was sitting on the sofa cheering so hard for them! LOL

    I am THRILLED!!!! I tend to root for the teams that are most respectful of the people they come across in their travels, and the ones who try to learn a few phrases in each country. I also thought the hippies were fun and cheerful.. gotta love that!

    I KNEW those so called frat brats were dropouts! lol

    Glad to see that brains won out :)
