And I agree, PP - the season when the finale was in DC was very cool! Wish they'd do that again.

Those cute hockey brothers won that season.

I liked it, but knowing where all the locations were took some of the suspense out of it. When you saw the one team's cab get on the GW Parkway, you knew they were going to make it to Mount Vernon first.

All I kept thinking when the DC finale aired, why am I not on this edition? Talk about home field advantage. I knew where every one of those places are (granted, they are pretty popular places) and could have drove myself!

To the most recent edition, I think I said this much earlier in the thread, but Phil tried to defend the cast all season long. He was in DC in late February at the DC Travel Expo and tried to defend the cast then as well. Then you get articles like this: http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2016/05/amazing-race-social-media-experiment-results/

Finale was Friday night.

I was hoping it would finish somewhere else than LA, which it seems almost every season starts or ends at. I know one season was finished in DC, which was pretty cool.

I have no problems with the winners. It was funny to see one team forget to tell the cab driver to wait.

It's off until April 1 because of basketball.

Was Amazing Race on this week or did I miss it?

The super hot dude was TYLER! He was so yummy!

The team who won under "blind dates" was really pretty much 2 singles who didn't feel any romantic connection but both wanted to do well. They both wanted to do well and win, unlike the guy who quit because he didn't feel anything with his partner.

+1
I loved that team that won - both the girl and the incredibly gorgeous guy. Both seemed very smart and nice and I liked that neither felt the need to feign attraction for each other in order to play to the cameras.

Part I of an interview of who was eliminated on Friday:

It was ok, but the constant chatter about some potential romance seemed to fake and forced and solely for the cameras. I have no interest in this crap.

Totally agree. I haven't missed one AR, ever, but after seeing this season's premiere, I've sworn it off completely until they take up "regular" casting again. No gimmicks. It's so disappointing, as I used to look forward to my week's fix of AR, but no more. I can't take the loud, braying, fake personalities hamming it up for the camera. Gag.

RUMOR for next season in terms of casting is here: http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2016/02/amazing-race-29-casting-blind-dates-plus-singles-strangers/
